dio: here we go, you just found out jonathan was a genetic donor and you're going to insist he's your real dad and
giorno: what? no
dio: ????
giorno: why would someone who's super dead be my father
giorno: i mean i carried your picture in my wallet where i could've carried a motivational picture of britney spears
giorno: whenever i swindled people out of their hard earned cash it was your face i saw motivating me to do it
dio: that's the kindest thing anyone has ever said about me without fear and respect also backing it
giorno: get bent
dio: [through tears] i'm so ready for the day you try to poison me

SU-esque AU
Dio dies in Egypt, passes on something (gem? something of his spirit? etc) to Giorno, who has to learn to deal with the consequences of having dhampir powers from a father he never knew.
concept for a Dio-raised Giorno thanks to the RETIRED chat TAT!!!
“can I talk to dad”
“giorno, I’m right here”
“i mean... other dad”
dio sighs, removes his own head and sets it down while his body sits down and holds out his hands. open up to him, son.
dio owns every single piece of giorno merch. he even has some custom made. he collects those little plastic charms too. he goes to conventions to get more. his collection is only rivaled by jotaro’s of jolyne.
joseph doesn’t know what these youngin’s are doing and prefers a wallet with long roll-out photos that reach the floor.
dio’s photo as young giorno’s security object.
other kids have blankets and stuffed animals, but ever since his mother got rid of the photo by carelessly giving it to giorno and saying “here, this is your blood father”, giorno built up an entire daydream about the time his blood father would come to rescue him. He’d look at his starred shoulder in the mirror and be comforted by the fact that it matched the one in the photo.
the night before giorno met the gangster who’d save him from a horrible life, giorno had a dream where he met the man in the photo. he didn’t see his face, but he did feel his hand on top of his head, ruffling his hair.
the next day, the grass around the collapsed man grew faster, and Giorno’s stand had subconsciously awoken.
