Before you even realised, a week flew by. Things started to feel more and more regular, the boys arguing constantly, meeting with Erina before and after school, and it was almost like the idea of your mother had slipped your mind.
You admire your form in your school uniform, feeling quite pretty today. Your favourite lace-up brown boots accompanying the outfit provided by the school. A maid entered with a comb and some fancy clips as you sat on the edge of the bed. She sat behind you and began styling your hair all pretty and neat.
As she finishes and leaves you bow in thanks. Finally ready, you head downstairs only to see Dio and Mr.Joestar but Jo Jonathan.
"Good morning, Mr. Joestar. Where is Jojo?" You asked softly.
"Unfortunately, Jojo had caught a common cold, so he won't be attending school today." He explains.
"Oh no, I hope he recovers fast," you say, glancing at Dio, whose cold eyes were glued onto you.
Mr. Joestar then leads the two of you to the carriage. You hop on the front side of the carriage, expecting to be sitting next to Mr. Joestar. However, Dio beats the old man to it and sits next to you. Like right next to you. You squirm in your seat a bit, trying to gain some space from him.
He sighs and moves away a bit, so there's a small gap between you. The carriage ride felt like forever until it finally stopped at the school gates. You watched as Dio got out and held the carriage door open for you and offered his hand out for you, his facial expression blank but his eyes... strangely sincere.
Hesitantly, you took his hand and stepped down. As you glanced up at him, you noticed a slight smile plastered across his cheeks, but it seemingly vanished as you blinked.
Maybe you were imagining things.
You curtsey and smile at him. "Thank you, Dio," he hummed back at you in response.
"Not a problem at all, my lady~" he cooed, his breath curled with a flirtatious tone. You couldn't help but blush qt the little formality. It's not uncommon that Dio would refer to you as 'My lady', but it still caught you off guard each time he would.
You began walking with Dio, not realising your hand was still in his. You quickly pulled away, "a-ah sorry..." You said quietly. He smirked. "What's wrong? Scared people might assume something about us?~"
"No, that's not it! Uh- not that I'm saying I don't want to be with you.. I mean, not be with you, but near you I-..." You sighed, giving up. Dio chuckled.
"So if I asked you out, you wouldn't say yes?" He hummed, teeth glistening in the sun. It was clear he was toying with you. Right?...
"Uhhhh..." Cheeks hotter than lava, you avoided eye contact with him.
"You want me, don't you.~" he purred, his voice hot as if he was right by ur ear.
"If you must excuse me, Dio, I have a class to tend to..." You say, face that was once flushed now turned into annoyance. Of course, he isn't serious. You hurridly rush away from him, feeling his eyes burn into your soul as you rush away.
After class, you ended up sitting alone by the field alone. Turns out Erina was also sick. She allegedly caught it from her mother. It must be how Jojo caught it. You eye off your lunch that the maids packed you. It smelled like heaven. It was a bun with Silverstein, a few salads to accommodate, and some homemade sauce on it as well.
You were about to dig in when you suddenly hear the sound of feet in the grass behind you. You look over your shoulder to see Golden waves that blew effortlessly, despite the lack of wind. Heavy golden orbs penetrated yours as he stood next to you.
"Why are you alone?" He asked with what felt like no emotion at all. This boy was so hard to read sometimes.
"Both my friends are sick, so I figured I'd enjoy my lunch in silence today." You say, indicating you want Dio to leave you be. Instead, he decides against your 'suggestion'.
Sitting beside you, he hums, "I can be silent." He says.
"I'm sure you can..." You huff sarcastically.
"Is that a challenge?" He questions you, brow raised.
You look at him, surprised that he isn't being a jerk to you right now, but you smirk at him, giggling.
"If that's what you want, so be it," you declared. He smirks back, playfully, and puts his fingers to his lips, implying a closed zipper.
You watch him for a few seconds before looking to your food, then taking a generous mouthful.
His silence lasted about 15 minutes before he groaned.
"Is the game over yet? Have I won?" He whines and looks to you who is now finished your burger, a look of fullness, and content plastered across your face. You nod.
He laughs a bit, "I take it the food was good?" You nod again, smiling wider. He mimics your expression, which is weird to you. Seeing Dio give a genuine looking smile was almost uncanny. Somebody so rude and snarky was now this funny and charming person that the rest of the school worshipped.
"So... uh, what's with the sudden personality change?" You ask, curious.
"What ever could you mean?" He hums. You roll your eyes. "You know exactly what I mean."
"This is just how I am when I'm with people I don't loathe," he hums, looking ahead onto the field, where other kids play with a ball.
You stare at him. "You mean to say you don't hate me?..."
"Why should I?" He asks, confused.
"Well, whenever I'm with Jojo, you always seem to glare at me, even though you've never said anything rude to ME... I guess I was under the impression that you hated me, too."
Dio watches you in silence before bursting into a fit of laughter not too long later. You frown a bit, confused by the response. "What's so funny?" You ask.
"Your logic,"
"Excuse me?..."
"You think just because Jojo gets on my nerves, so do you?" He smirks."You are quite aloof, my lady,"
You huff, flustered "oh be quiet, you"
You turn away from him and sigh. "On the topic of Jojo... I can't help but miss him right now. Everything feels so lonely without him, even though I saw him only just last night." You sighed.
"Why must you be so infatuated with Jojo?" Dio snaps, suddenly. Startled, you look to him to notice a snarl plastered across his whole face.
"I... what?.." You mutter, intimidated by this sudden outburst after he was so randomly friendly. His face rests a bit, and he shuts his eyes, breathing out to calm himself.
"What I meant was... Jojo only ever brushes you away to pay more attention to Erina. I've only ever paid attention to you. No other women have my eye," he hums, leaning closer and holding your chin like he would the daily paper.
You blush bright red at the closeness but can't help but feel your heart sink to the idea of Jojo liking Erina more than you.
Sure, you knew that inevitably, he would pick sides between either of you, but... Maybe you just weren't ready for that truth.
"I would pay my whole mind to you," You hear him whisper, his breath warm on your face.
Abruptly, you jump up with your food and rush off, not ready for any boy drama. You leave Dio shocked and slightly amused, aware that he's getting to your mind. Just as he plans.
You ran back to the school area and packed up, heading back to class for your next subject. You couldn't help but have mixed feelings about what Dio just attempted. You were unsure if you should trust his words or not. It feels too obvious that he must be trying to use you for some kind of kickback at Jojo. You sighed, forcing the thought of him out of your mind.
Eventually, the last class of your day had ended, and as you were ready to leave, you felt a presence next to you. Turning your head, you notice it was the orange eyed boy that you were hoping to avoid.
"Hurry, we don't want to keep the carriage waiting," he hums, watching you intently. You shiver under his gaze and hurry, rushing to put all your things away in the mid sized brown sachel bag that Mr.Joestar gifted to you.
As you put the bag on, Dio grabbed your hand and gently pulled you along to the carriage. Your face flushed a bright red as you stumbled behind him. You look at your conjoined hands, not helping but to notice how soft and warm his hands feel. You reached the carriage, and Dio helped you up.
"After you, my lady," he smiles at you. You hum a small "thanks..." and hop in, him following after. He once again squeezes himself next to you. You can't help but shy away, face covered in a brighter red than anything anybody could imagine.
You make it home, and before Dio could talk to you, you rushed out of the carriage and into the house to go see Johnathan.
You don't even knock as you swing open his door. "Jojo-" you say, huffing and panting.
He looks to you startled as he closes the book he has in hand. "(Y/N), is everything ok?" He asked, concerned.
"I have so much... to tell you..." You pant and go to sit beside his bed before explaining your whole day to him.
