"So explain to me again why I'm tagging along?" Trailing beside the blond and asking that your eyes trailed around the bustling streets of Rome, earlier that morning you were approached by Caesar who right away stated that the both of you were needed in said place- why? You weren't sure nor informed on apart from being there to meet someone.
"Because you're the only other student of Lisa Lisa, and because I enjoy your company." Musing that out he spared you a wink watching as you rolled your eyes in response.
Seeing that he'd held the door to a hotel restaurant duo open, you clicked your tongue assuming that this was the meeting place,"Alright well, you go to the table and I'll be right back." Right away your eyes found where the restroom sign was gesturing towards it before walking off.
You didn't appreciate being left out of the loop by the blond, but there was a certain excitement as well.
Doing your business and finishing up you stepped out of the small hallway spotting your travel companion currently in the midst of wooing some poor woman. Rolling your eyes at the scene before you it appeared as though someone occupying a nearby table was also cringing at what was happening.
"I can't stand guys like that!" Hearing him exclaim that you subtly trailed over swiping a seat at his table, the man's bright teal hues instantly trailed over, though before he spoke you'd cut him to it.
"Yeah I agree with you there, sucks that he's always like this." Resting your chin in the palm of your hand and letting out a long sigh your eyes trailed from the blond back to the brunette.
"You know that guy?"
"Yeah he's my friend. Quite the casanova though." Humming that out you let out a soft laugh seeing him nod alone exaggeratedly to what you'd said, it was clear that even if the two had never spoken nor interacted there was a dislike.
"Friends with you and he went for that?" Jutting a finger out towards the woman Caesar was sitting with you couldn't help but cover your mouth as some more laughter tried to leave you. Shaking his head as though disappointed now the brunette wound up some squid ink pasta onto a fork. The base of which seemed to have sparked a subtle orange hue and the noodles straightened out.
So this guy knew how to use hamon?
Watching him flick the noodles towards where Caesar was they were quickly deflected back being stopped when the brunette raised a wine glass halting them.
"Th-This can't be!" Eating the three noodles he'd fired from his glass, wine right away began pouring out. "I-It's Hamon! He used Hamon!"
"Hey you're going to get wine everywhere?!" Right away leaning out and poking the glass the streams of wine stopped, faint sparks of yellow flickered from around the glass and right away the brunette's mouth dropped open in surprise.
Before he could say anything however the both of you heard a nearby waiter trail over addressing the blond, his green hues of which trailed towards where you were. "(Y/N) mi cara, it's time to go."
Faintly nodding you rose from your seat peering back towards the brunette, "I feel like I'm going to be seeing you again real soon." A wave was given followed by a smile before you trailed after your blond haired companion.
"Can't believe you'd sit with something like that." Hearing him mutter that out you couldn't help but elbow the man in response.
"And I can't believe you gave my seat away." Rolling your eyes after saying that it seemed like you'd caught him there, "Besides I thought he was pretty interesting, he knew hamon." Lacing your fingers behind your back while saying that you watched Caesar shake his head muttering a few things before trailing towards a fountain.
Slowing down your steps your eyes lingered on the form of a man standing by the fountain, his eyes were focused on Caesar as the two seemingly exchanged greetings.
The first thing that threw you for a loop was the scar stretching out across the man's face followed by deep brown hues.
"Speedwagon, this is my partner (Y/N)." Motioning a hand towards where you stood Caesar beckoned you over, the man before him right away snapped his gaze towards you seemingly scanning you from head to toe.
"(Y/N) (L/N)?" The name left his lips hesitantly, it's been years and there should really be no scientific way for you to be standing before him- but here you were, living a breathing.
"That's me. Although I guess I've lost the accent and frilly dresses." A faint smile trailed onto your expression as you spoke, a hand right away patted the fabric of your cargo pants. "You look like you're doing well." Finishing with what you were saying it seemed like the man was still in some form of shock.
"I need to sit down."
Both yourself and Caesar watched the man plant himself along the edge of the fountain, his eyes traced the concrete flooring before moving between where you and the blond stood.
"You know Speedwagon?" At the question your eyes pulled away from the seated man towards Caesar being met with his curious stare, it was interesting to think that there were different family lines that you were familiar with and that you knew not only his grandfather but Speedwagon as well.
"Yeah, I mean we were useless buddies back in the day. I didn't know how to use hamon and neither did he so we just stood aside most of the time." Explaining that you noticed how Speedwagon also listened in on what you were saying, seemingly still trying to piece things together.
It was mind boggling to him that after evaporating in the sun- here you were, joking about near death situations.
"How?" Turning away from explaining some more things to Caesar, your eyes met Speedwagons, a brow was raised slightly in response leading the man to continue on. "How are you still here?"
Knowing that this wasn't his type of conversation Caesar trailed towards another side of the fountain seating himself among the ledge much like how the older man did, chin resting in the palm of his hand.
Moving to take a seat before Speedwagon you let out a hum, "I don't really know myself, but what I do know is that I never stay dead. I always just find myself popping up somewhere else entirely." Swinging your legs in thought your lips pursed together, you never could come up with a proper answer yourself so what you said was just a well-educated guess.
Wanting to say that something like that was close to impossible he stopped himself. If zombies and vampires were a real thing then who's to say something like this was fake.
"So you can't die?"
"No no. I can die, I just come back after- I think that's how it works." Nodding his head, piecing together what you were saying his lips pressed into a fine line, he wasn't sure how many times you must've been brought back but it must've been more than he could count on one hand.
Raising a hand he rested it on the top of your head softly, a faint smile stretched across his expression as well. "It's good to have you back then."
By the time you and Speedwagon were able to catch up with one another someone had approached the man, their brown hair and green eyes were familiar and it was then you recognized the man as who you'd briefly sat with.
"Speedwagon how come you forgot to inform me that a cute girl would be tagging along with that?" Seemingly upset that something like that was withheld from him the brunette pointed towards where Caesar sat, the blond in response scoffed at what was said.
Raising his hands in a hold on manner the older man in question spoke, "I wasn't aware she'd tag along either but now that you're here I'd like you to meet (Y/N) (L/N), Caesar's partner." Right away he could see the brunette open his mouth to speak, cutting in quickly, "hamon partner."
"So she's single," Speaking as if you weren't there the brunette turned facing you. "Well then pleased to meet you, Joseph Joestar at your acquaintance." The last name right away rang out and you couldn't help but give Speedwagon a sideways glance before returning your focus to Joseph. "And I will assume your next words will be 'guess we meet again'."
"Guess we meet agai-'' Halting yourself right away upon realizing what the brunette had said your brows furrowed together before a shocked look took over your expression. "Wait, you could predict what I said? That's so cool. Odd but cool!"
Your compliment seemed to stroke the brunette ego and a cocky smile took over his expression, "It's just a little trick I picked up to impress cute girls like you." A wink right away followed what he'd said and yet again you could hear the faint scoff of Caesar.
"She doesn't fall for shameless flirting." Calling that out from where he sat Caesar sent a scowl towards Joseph, chin still resting within the palm of his hand. "I should know."
"Sorry to burst your bubble romeo but that's probably because you flirt with everything that walks." Hearing Joseph fire back right away you couldn't help but laugh, he wasn't entirely wrong there.
"Boys," A warning was clear within Speedwagon's voice and his eyes trailed from one to the other. "We did not come here to argue." Clarifying that he took in a breath releasing it in a long sigh.
"We'll see how long that lasts." Murmuring that out softly to the man beside you he simply shook his head.
Joseph and Caesar both seemed like quite the characters and having already spent time with the blond you could already tell that Joseph's outfront nature would annoy the hell out of him.
Which, hey meant more entertainment for you.
