Game Piece
A/N I tried to stay as true to this part as I could so hopefully it turned out decent and not too rushed. '~'
Soft knocking sounded from the guest room's door that you were currently staying in woke you up. You grumbled at the unwanted noise, slightly sitting up and rubbed your messy locks.
"Who is it?" Your voice echoed through the room.
"It's me Jojo, I have something to show you so hurry up." Jojo whispered through the door.
"Okay give me a couple moments." You responded a bit confused as to why Jojo was trying to be quiet. You got up from the bed and went to your dresser, taking off your nightgown and putting something more fitting on.
You opened the door afterwards and saw Jojo gleaming at you. "Come on we don't have much time." He stated as he grabbed your hand and led you out the mansion once again. In his other hand he held a bag.
"Hey Jojo what's in the bag?" You questioned.
"You'll find out in a bit."
Eventually your journey with Jonathan ended and a big group of teenage boys were before you, circling around a roped off area.
"Uh Jojo what's this about?"
"You know how we'd always joke about who was stronger and use to fight all the time?" You nodded, smiling fondly at the memories of the two of you play fighting as kids. "Well I wanted to show you just how strong I've gotten." He smiled, full of pride. With the smile he gave off you just couldn't help but to smile along with him. "Aw you big goof ball." You said as you lightly nudged him on the shoulder.
"Well I think my fight is about to start, so make sure you have a good view!" He exclaimed as he moved to one corner of the ring. Based on the red gloves he took out of his bag you guessed that this was suppose to be a boxing ring.
"Oi what's a lass doing here?" One boy asked as you got closer to the ring.
"Especially one who dresses like a noble." Someone added.
"I think she's with Jojo." Another commented.
A low murmur of talk about you and Jojo occurred making you feel uncomfortable, but thankfully the announcer diffused all the ruckus. "In this corner is Jonathan Joestar! He's looking stronger lately!" The crowd let out a cheer as Jonathan lifted his arms and looked at you, you let out a loud cheer along with the crowd making Jonathan smile.
"And his opponent has been changed." The announcer continued making Jonathan put on a look of confusion.
"All we know is his name. He's the new guy in town!" Everyone turned to look at the lad and Jonathan's face paled immediately as he set his eyes on him. You furrowed your eyebrows in confusion wondering who could make Jonathan like that.
"Introducing Dio Brando!"
"Dio?" You quietly let out. 'What on earth could he be doing here? I doubt Jonathan would tell him about this place?' You pondered.
The announcer went over the rules as Dio entered the ring, and you held your breath. You had a bad feeling that this fight wasn't going to end well.
"Begin!" They both lifted up their boxing gloves and took a stance as soon as that word was announced. Everyone cheered for Jonathan and of course you did as well. "Come on Jojo you can do it!"
Jonathan made the first move and charged at Dio, he went to punch Dio, yet Dio easily dodged the movement. Your eyes widened as Jonathan continued to throw punches that wouldn't land. Everyone in the audience seemed astonished at Dio's dodging ability.
Dio suddenly punched Jonathan in the stomach, making you wince. He then punched Jonathan square in the face.
"Jojo!" You let out a cry as the announcer said the fight was over.
Everyone cheered for Dio, while you were panicking over Jonathan and wanted to make sure he was okay, since he hit the ground rather harshly after Dio punched him.
As everyone jumped into the ring and swarmed Dio you ran straight at Jonathan, which was when Dio noticed you were there. He let out a smirk, but it was quickly gone when he noticed you were going towards Jonathan instead of going to compliment him. He removed his eyes from you hesitantly and in disdain and went back on to talking to his new admirers.
"Jojo are you okay?" You questioned the boy as soon as you reached him. He still hadn't gotten up yet. Then Dio's voice boomed. "But you can't tell Jojo this boxing technique, he can't keep a secret." Everyone took to Dio's comment that made you grit your teeth together.
"You bast-" Jonathan moving made you stop what you were about to say.
"Jojo!"
"Why? Why do that on purpose?" Jonathan voiced to Dio ignoring you. You titled your head in confusion at Jonathan's words. "Jojo what are you talking about?"
"I-It's nothing come on we have to hurry home." Jonathan uneasily got up and you followed his pursuit. You looked up at him in concern and Dio took note of that as you and Jonathan walked away, he narrowed his eyes at the sight and wondered why you would ever hang out with that cry baby.
"Jojo are you sure you're alright?" You asked again after you guys had a good amount of distancing from the boxing ground.
"I'm fine he just...jabbed his thumb in my eye." Jonathan finally answered.
"What?! Oh my god Jojo!" You grabbed both sides of his face with your hands to get a better look at his eye to find out that it was indeed bleeding a bit. Jonathan let out a light blush as you did so.
"That is so not gentleman like of him at all! Let me at him. I'll lecture him to no end like how my mother does when she finds out I stole food again from the kitchen!" You exclaimed fiercely, upset over how anyone could hurt your puppy-dog eyed best friend.
Jonathan let out a laugh at your outburst. "There's no need for that (Y/N), what's done is done. Now come on let's get home before both our parents start to freak out." He stated as he patted your head.
You couldn't believe how easy Jonathan was talking about this, but then you reminded yourself of how much of a gentleman he's been trying to be his whole life.
"You know Jojo you certainly have gotten stronger from the last time we were together." You stated as you and Jojo continued your walk back home.
Later on you were in your room reading, unaware of the argument that was currently going on downstairs.
"You know it's very improper for a lady of her standard to have gone to one of those places right Jojo? And though you claim to be such a gentleman you were the one who brought her there." Dio sneered.
Jonathan glared at him. "Stop it right there Dio I know it was very improper for me to have brought her there, but it was about something that you'd never understand." Dio raised an eyebrow at the statement.
"Well it is a shame that dear (Y/N) had to witness that. I guess I'll have to find a way to make her be quiet about it so Mr. Joestar doesn't find out." Dio smirked as he made his way to the staircase, about to go up it to enter the guest room that (Y/N) was currently staying at.
"Don't you dare lay a single finger on her Dio. She knows very well to not mention anything that happened today!" Jonathan exclaimed.
"Oh really?"
Jonathan went past Dio and went to your room to indefinitely insure that Dio wouldn't show up. Leaving Dio on the staircase pondering yet again about you.
What had made you so special that Jojo was willing to do anything to protect you?
What exactly was your relation to Jojo?
All sorts of questions ran through his head.
He eventually shook them off and was left with a single thought.
"Oh well she's just another game piece that I'll have to take away from him no matter what."
