Chapter 32

It was late into the summer as Caeser walked around the country. He visited every last place he could think of and hadn't been happier. This was all Caeser ever wanted, happiness without needing someone. He was also excited for Josuke to visit. He couldn't wait if he was being honest.

It had been two months since he last saw Josuke. They still texted and called each other as often as they could. It wasn't the same as a real life conversation though. While waiting at the airport he leaned against a wall. A woman came up to him and spoke in Italian.

"(Excuse me sir? Who are you waiting for? Your wife?"

"(No, my son I don't have a wife.)"

"(So you're single?)"

"(No I'm married but.... I wish I wasn't. He isn't exactly the best guy. Oh shit! I'm over sharing again.)"

The woman laughed sweetly and wrapped her arm around Caesers. Caeser recognized gold diggers very easily and this one wasn't hard to pick out.

"(I'm seventy years old and broke.)"

"(You're seventy!? You look so young! I thought you were forty!) "

The woman ran away, Caeser didn't realize he could pass for forty. He smiled to himself and felt more confident. However, was slightly hurt that the woman ran away. Caeser wondered if being seventy could be that bad. His thoughts were stopped as he almost fell over.

"Caeser! I missed you!"

Exclaimed Josuke as he tackled Caeser in the tightest hug he could muster. Caeser hugged just as tightly back. He was so excited to see his son and almost fell over.

"I can't breathe- Josuke! I'm going to die!"

"... Just a little longer."

Caeser laughed and rolled his eyes. Eventually Josuke let go of Caeser, and then put Josukes things in a hotel before exploring Venice. They spent the entire day going to random designer stores, Josuke was in heaven with all the money he saved up. Caeser noticed that Josuke had a gigantic wad of cash in a pocket of his wallet.

"Kid that's a lot of cash! That's at least two thousand bucks! When did you get a job?"

"Oh......not from a job or anything like that. Just saved up I guess."

They eventually got hungry and tried to get into a restaurant. The restaurant was full and the wait line was over an hour long. Caeser tried persuading with the host.

"(Dude please?)"

"(Sorry sir I can't give you a table.)"

Caeser had run out persuasion tricks. Saying please worked on Joseph and others when he was younger. Before Josuke and Caeser left a man with a bobbed haircut and white suit stopped them.

"(Excuse me sir! Would you mind sitting with us?)"

Caesar turned around to see this unknown man and figured.

"(Sure why not? Thanks a lot man, my names Caeser Jo-... Zeppeli. Caeser Zeppeli and this is my son Josuke. He doesn't know any Italian.)"

"(I know who you are Mr. Zeppeli you're a legend! My names Bruno Buciallati. It's a pleasure to meet you.)"

The three of them sat down at a table with six other men and one woman. Luckily there was two extra seats for Josuke and Caeser. Bruno asked everyone to introduce themselves.

A blonde teenager with a pink leather suit that Josuke wanted in blue, awkwardly waved his hand and greeted.

"(Hi I'm Giorno, nice to meet you.)"
