“...(y/n)? (Y/N)! MR.JOESTAR, SHE'S FINALLY WAKING UP!”“What? Really!? Thank god,” you vaguely heard him exclaim, the sound of rushing footsteps filling your ears as they padded closer and closer.You blearily opened your eyes, your vision blurry at first and your eyelids feeling like heavy weights.“Mon Cherie are you okay? Can you hear us? You're not dying are you?!”You could barely make out a blurry white shape that you started to realize was Polnareff's hair. You blinked a couple times, your vision clearing as the world came into harsh focus, brows furrowing slightly as his voice was getting louder and louder.“Oi, Polnareff, give her a break and let her fucking breathe for a minute.” You instantly recognized that baritone voice of Jotaro's as he stepped up to where you were laying. You gave him a subtle smile and he gave you one back.“Well, now that she's awake, we ought to stock up before we head out again. Avdol, Polnareff, come with me, I could use some help bringing it all back.” You heard them shuffle behind Joseph out of the room followed by the clicking of a door closing.A few moments of silence passed. You tried to sit up only to wince as waves of pain flooded throughout your body. You felt somewhat victorious though once you did. “What… the fuck even happened…” you said, unfortunately sounding weaker than you would've liked.“You took a cursed sword to the gut and almost bled to death. We took you back to the hotel.” Jotaro stated simply. As he said this, he sat on a stool by your bed and poured some water from a pitcher into a cup, handing it to you. You downed the entire cup in practically one sip and coughed out “thanks.”He hummed in response, setting the pitcher down on the bedside table. As the comfortable silence surrounded you both, you began to remember today's events:After arriving from Kom Ombo, at Joseph's insistence the two of you tagged along with Polnareff to make sure he didn't get caught up in another unfortunate incident. Sadly that ended up happening again anyways as Polnareff winded up possessed by Anubis. He had nearly gutted Jotaro with the cursed sword, but you had jumped in-between them to take the hit instead, knowing Star Platinum was better equipped to destroy Anubis than your stand was.You let out a huff, still somewhat exasperated at how goddamn unlucky Polnareff was. No wonder Jotaro said yare yare daze a lot, you were feeling like you needed a fucking break too.Suddenly you were startled out of your ranting stupor by a pair of muscled arms wrapping around you gently. Jotaro nuzzled his face into the crook of your neck and sighed, bringing one of his hands up to softly run through your (H/C) hair. “Are you okay...? You still in pain?”You blushed. You still weren't quite used to him being affectionate like this (it wasn't that long ago when he'd worked up the courage to finally confess his feelings for you) but it warmed your heart nonetheless to see just how much he cared about you. You wrapped your arms tightly around his waist and nuzzled into his neck right back.“Yeah I'm okay… I'm still kind of in pain to be honest, but I should be able to rest it off for now.”“Good… that reminds me, you've been out for a while so we should change your bandages.”You nodded, seeing him grab a nearby first-aid kit, and grimaced slightly as you removed your pajama shirt to make it easier for him to remove the bandage. Once it comes off, you look down at the gauze that'd been pressed to your wound from Anubis. “Holy shit… you weren't kidding when you said I almost bled to death…” the gauze was almost entirely stained crimson. “Yeah… felt like I needed at least twenty cigarettes just to not flip the fuck out. I thought Kakyoin’s injuries were bad but you fucking topped him tenfold.”You let out a very long, weary exhale, silently agreeing with his statement. You closed your eyes and dipped your head; content with this comfortable silence as cleaned your injury, pressed a fresh clean piece of gauze over your wound, and rewrapped the bandage snuggly around your torso. When he was done, you put your pajama shirt back on (albeit with a bit of struggle) and he gently tapped your shoulder to get your attention.“Mind if I join you on the bed?”You shook your head, scooting over carefully to make room for him without aggravating your injury. You sat next to each other for a long while, shoulder to shoulder, listening to sounds from outside. Eventually he said your name and you turned to face him.He leaned forward and pressed his lips softly against yours, your eyes fluttering closed. It stayed slow, relaxed, casual, never escalating into heated passion. After a while the two of you slowly tilted over to lay on your sides, lips still locked in a slow dance. Eventually you parted and you looked into each other's eyes, turquoise oceans facing a (E/C) field, nothing but love shining in each.“I love you” you whispered, burying your face into his chest, his heartbeat like a fierce yet soothing lullaby next to your ears. Slowly you began drifting off.“I love you too (y/n)” he whispered back, enveloping you in the warmth of his arms as Star Platinum draped a blanket over the two of you. Kissing the top of your head, he drifted off with you.
