"Caesar, for God's sake, just kiss me and get it off!" Joseph yelled, stomping his foot on the floor as Caesar dug through different draws in his bedroom, trying to find a screwdriver or something.

"Joseph, I'm not EVER going to kiss you, my gorgeous lips belong to a woman's. Look, yours are probably all crusty-"

"Excuse you? These lips are very sexy and soft, just like a woman's, so why wouldn't you wanna kiss me?"

"Are you flirting with me?"

"NO. Just get the stupid necklace OFF," Joseph grumbled, tugging the chain as Caesar scoffed and shook his head.

He grabbed the screwdriver finally and walked over to JoJo, pushing him against the wall and pinning him down with his palm on the boys chest. He let go of his grip and used his hand to hold the necklace, working on it with the tool. He thought he'd got it when he heard a click, but realised it'd only been made stronger

"Ow... Caesar, s kinda hard to breathe with you almost strangling me-"

"Hush." Caesar muttered, placing his finger on Joseph's lips as the boy groaned and struggled around, "Look, Joseph, I know I said the only way to get it off is by a kiss, but I'm not gonna kiss a... Someone like you.. We'll find a another way to get it off,"

Joseph furrowed his eyebrows at Caesar's words

"What do you mean 'someone like me'? Why are you trying to say?" He asked, looking sternly at Caesar

"Well.. You're not the most polite of people when it comes to table manners.. And you can be quite over the top.. Dim witted... And more-"

"I'm not dim witted! I.. I'm so polite-"

"Flashbacks to when we met in the restaurant and you were shovelling down the spaghetti like a pig after complaining about it,"

"That's different,"

"Not really.." Caesar muttered, smirking and letting go of Joseph, walking forward with his back turned to the boy, "I mean, I guess I could just let you stay in that necklace forever.. God knows what'll happen when it starts to choke you-"

"CHOKE ME?!"

The room went quiet for a second as the Italian turned back around, grimacing

"Ah. I forgot to tell you that bit, didn't I? Well.. After about a week without the kiss, it'll uh.. Start to tighten around your neck and choke you.. You can suffocate and... How do I put this... Well you know, you can die-"

"SHIZA, GET THIS THING OFF OF ME, GET IT OFF!" Joseph yelled, struggling as his muscles tensed. He tugged and yanked hard at the chain, but obviously nothing happened, leaving him out of breath and feeling hopeless.

He trudged over to Caesar's double bed and flopped onto it on his back, sighing and staring up at the ceiling. Caesar ran a hand through his hair, breathing through his nostrils and closing his eyes lightly

"It.. It will come off, we'll find another way to get it off.." He muttered, sitting on the edge of the bed and fiddling with his fingers, "Can't believe I don't have a gift anymore for the girl tonight, ridiculous-"

"You're still going on the date?" Joseph scoffed, keeping his eyes trained on the ceiling as Caesar looked over at him

"Yeah, can't leave her alone, we would've both missed out," He said simply, making JoJo let out a dry laugh

"Just ignore me, the person who is slowly suffocating because you bought some sketchy necklace from a stupid witch craft store or something," He rolled his eyes, playing with the bedsheet beside him

"Don't say that, you're not suffocating just yet, you're always so optimistic so let's be that now,"

"Yeah, I'll be optimistic when I could literally die in about two weeks time," JoJo replied, frowning as he crossed a leg over the other on the bed

"Fine then.. It'll get better and it'll come off, then we'll all be fine again," Caesar said, sighing softly

"Mhm.. Whatever you say.."
