The Boy from Orbit
A 1950s, Grease-inspired Destiel high school AU about first love, fast cars, chessboards, radio signals, Sputnik, and two boys slowly falling into each other’s orbit.
I groaned as I woke up from my sleep and I felt the whole house shaking because of my alarm clock that was violently shaking on the floor. I reached down and grabbed the alarm clock and threw it against the floor.
“Good grief…” I muttered under my breath as I ran a hand through my hair and got up. I bent down and picked up the alarm clock, which was strangely still intact after many mornings like this, and looked at the hour. It was currently 5:30 a.m.
I opened my doors and walked over to the small kitchen and opened a small cabinet above the stove and pulled out the plastic pill organizer and had a few pills for every day.
Behind it were the many pill bottles I had to organize myself for every week every Sunday.
And it wasn’t for me, it was for my mom…
She has been diagnosed with a chronic illness five years ago and unfortunately, we couldn’t afford her staying at the hospital.
So she has to drink these pills everyday. Most of the day she stays in bed and sleeps, and I have to cook us breakfast, lunch and dinner.
That’s why I skip some classes in school so I can go check on her. I do spend most of my time in the car shop and sometimes Frankie’s with my friends but most of the time I spend at home with my mom.
Dad was overseas in Tokyo, Japan, preforning in jazz clubs playing his saxophone. Every month he sends over some money he earned, but it wasn’t much.
He had to take some himself since living in Tokyo was expensive.
And my old man lived in New York, he also sent us some money but most of the time he spent going around the world.
He visited from time to time, and the most we’ve seen of him was a long letter with his picture in it.
I walked over to mom’s room and slightly opened her doors. “Hey… I brought you the medicine.” I said and my mom looked at the doorway where I was standing.
“Oh.. Thank you Jotaro dear… Do you mind opening the blinds for me?” mom asked and I nodded my head as I opened the blinds, letting the early morning rays flow in her room.
I opened the square shaped container on the pill organizer marked as ‘Wednesday’ and gave her the glass of water that was on her nightstand.
I took out the four colored pills and gave it in her hand as she slowly sat up.
“Thank you, Jotaro…” she whispered fraily as she took a sip of water and swallowed one pill at a time.
“I’ll make you something to eat and I’ll get going to school.” I said as I looked at her for the last time and walked out her room and put back the pill organizer in the cabinet.
I opened the fridge and pulled out two eggs and grabbed a pen from the bottom cabinet. I turned on the stove and put some oil in it.
After I cooked mom's food I put it all on a plate and on a wooden tray and brought it up to her room and gave it to her.
“Now hurry up, sweetie… You’re going to be late for school.” mom said as she laughed and picked up her fork.
I nodded my head and went to my room and quickly got dressed in black jeans, white shirt and my worn out leather jacket.
I went to my bathroom and opened a small white cabinet next to the mirror and pulled out a round metal container with hair grease and put some in my hair as I slightly slicked it back, but a few strands fell over my forehead.
After I finished getting ready I went to grab my school bag and put on my shoes and walked out of my house after saying goodbye to mom.
And just as I closed my front doors I was greeted by hollors and laughter from my friends.
I rolled my eyes and we started to walk down the street, “Good grief, do you have to be so loud this early?” I asked and everyone just laughed even more. Kakyoin, who was next to me, tapped my shoulder and I glanced at him with a raised eyebrow.
“Did that girl pay you those five grand? We didn’t have a chance to ask you since you went straight home after school…” he asked and I shook my head, “She didn’t… I gave her time to pay me until the end of the month.” I said and Kakyoin’s eyes widened.
“ You ? Wow Jotaro, didn’t know you did that kind of thing.” Kakyoin said and I looked at him with a confused expression.
“What do you mean by that?” I asked and he laughed, “Ah, you’re so oblivious aren’t you? You obviously want to get to know her or something… You don’t usually extend the time for somebody who owes you money.” Kakyoin said and the others quieted down and looked at each other with smirks.
I sighed and rolled my eyes, “Good grief, really?” I asked him and everyone started laughing. “I don’t know Jotaro, you tell me. I wasn’t the one who was secretly looking at her on the whole lunch break.” Kakyoin chuckled smugly and my vision turned red.
He… he was telling the truth. I was looking at her, but only to see what she was up to. I wanted to know if that bastard Tommy would approach her or talk to her.
He interrupted our conversation yesterday and tried to ‘scare me off’. Which led me to suspect that she must be his new friend or something.
But she seemed standoffish when she was talking to him and that confused me…
“Why don’t we call her over during the lunch break? She seemed fine when we met her… And I don’t think that Jotaro would mind that.” Michael joked and I glared at him as I pulled out a cigarette from the pocket of my jacket and pushed it towards him.
“Right-” Michael said as he pulled out a lighter and lit up my cigarette. “Do what you want. I don’t really care.” I said and shrugged my shoulders.
I could see Kakyoin whispering something to Dean and both of them sniggering.
Good grief… I should’ve walked to school alone…
*Time skip to the lunch break*
We all sat at our usual spot under the tree and ate our food. I was eating my lunch in silence when all of a sudden Dean snapped his fingers, making all of us look at him.
“Did you guys hear about the new waitress at Frankie’s? Danny was there yesterday with his friends and told me we should check it out ourselves.” Dean said and all of us looked at each other.
“A new waitress? At Frankie’s? Sounds like a prank if anything. But if that’s the truth, they must’ve kidnapped her or something.” Michael laughed and Kakyoin slapped his shoulder.
“Don’t be rude, Michael.” Kakyoin scolded him and I nodded my head.
“Yeah, who knows… Danny doesn’t seem to be the one to lie.” I said and Michale rolled his eyes, “You know why I don’t trust that blond haired rat! Not only does he steal my food while I’m working but he totally embarrassed me in front of that chick a few days ago! Dean, I'm telling you to put your younger brother on a dog leash and tie him to a tree in the backyard.” he complained as he ran a hand through his shaggy brown hair.
I rolled my eyes, already tired of Michael’s complaining. I ignored the rest of their conversation as I looked into the distance and saw Tommy with his friends as they were talking about something.
Tommy smirked as he pointed to a table with three girls which was far from his and his other friends ‘ooed’ and patted his back. I looked back at the table and noticed Y/n… or as I called her, the chicken girl.
Good grief, that idiot really thinks he is the shit, doesn’t he?
It seemed that I zoned out because distant exclamations of Kakyoin brought me back and I shook my head.
“Gosh, you’re looking at her again Jotaro…” Kakyoin said and nudged Michael, “Seems like you have competition, Mickey…” Kakyoin joked and we both glared at him.
Kakyoin laughed cheerily and patted our backs, “Oh come, you can’t take light teasing? What has gotten into you?” he asked us and I didn’t even bother replying.
“So, what’s our final plan for the evening?” asked Dean, changing the theme.
“We have no cars to repair so we can go to Frankie’s earlier.” said Kakyoin and we all nodded in agreement.
The bell rang and we all got up, picked up our trash and started to walk towards the entrance of school.
*time skip after school*
*1st p.o.v, Y/n*
I tightly grabbed my bag from the floor as the bell signaled the end of the school. I waited for a bit for everyone to get out of class as only Sheri, Lisa and I stayed inside.
“...Frankie’s, you say? I’ve never heard of that diner before.” Lisa said and Sheri nodded in agreement as we walked out of the class and started to walk down the hallway towards the girls bathroom.
“Yeah, it’s further on the East side…” I said as we entered the bathroom and walked into an empty stall, opened my school bag and pulled out the red waitress uniform.
I started to undress myself and put on the uniform and stuffed my clothes into the bag. I was wearing flats today so they would fit with the uniform.
I tied the whie apron around my waist and smoothed out the whole uniform.
It was comfortable, more than I expected it to be honestly. I walked out and Sher and Lisa turned their heads towards me and smiled.
“You look so professional!” Lisa complimented me and I laughed in slight embarrassment, “Thank you, really… It does help me ease the anxiety for my first shift.” I said as I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed nervously.
“Don’t worry, Y/n, you’ll do fine! I think the school’s empty now so we can go out.” Sheri motioned to the bathroom doors and opened them and we walked out.
“Well then, girls…See you tomorrow, hopefully.” I joked as we walked over to my car and I unlocked it.
“See you, Y/n!” both of them exclaimed as they headed their own way home and I sat myself inside my car.
I put my school bag on the passenger’s seat and pulled out of the school's parking lot and started to drive in the direction of the diner.
After twenty minutes of driving I arrived at the diner and it was as crowded as yesterday.
I smiled as I entered the diner and I immediately noticed Susan behind the counter cleaning the glasses.
“Hello!” I greeted Susan and she grinned at me, “Well, hi to you to Y/n. As you noticed we’re not quite busy so we have time to talk.” Susan said and I nodded my head.
“You will be serving the 3rd and 4th booth for now. They’re in the same line next to the window.” Susan said and I looked at the now empty booths and nodded my head.
“Of course, anything else?” I asked and she nodded, “Yeah, that’ll be your main duty. But you will also be helping out to take the trash and clean the tables.” she said and I nodded my head.
“Alright, seems fine to me.” I said and Susa handed me a small notepad and a notebook, “Just write the orders here and give them to me here at the counter.” she explained while she finished cleaning up the glasses.
I hummed and sat at one of the bar stools, “Well, you won’t mind me sitting here while I wait?” I asked Susan and she laughed, “Of course not, dearie! I’ll notify you when one of your booths gets occupied. Until then you can start memorizing the menu.” she said as she handed me the menu and I thanked her with a grateful smile.
We stayed silent as I read the menu and I kept glancing at the still empty booths and fiddled with my pen.
After some time, Susan snapped her fingers in front of my face and I looked up to her. “Y-Yes?” I asked as I caught the menu and pen before they fell on the floor.
“You’ve got guests on the 4th booth, good luck!” Susan said and I gulped as I hopped off the bar stool and grabbed my pen and notepad. I didn’t even register who sat at the booth and as I rushed to it.
“Hello! I’m Y/n and I’ll be your server-” I said as I looked up and my blood froze , “-for today…” I muttered out as I gulped.
I was met with a sight of one and only…
Jotaro Kujo and his friends
My eyes widened as my throat went dry. I should've seen this coming!’ I thought in panic as I immediately fixed my posture and opened my notepad, “S-So… What will you guys have for today?” I said as calmly as possible and all of them just continued to stare at me.
The redhead, Kakyoin, nudged Jotaro who cleared his throat, “We’ll have four sodas and four burgers.” he said and I wrote everything down and nodded my head, “Alright! I’ll bring you the drinks now.” I quickly said and bolted back to the counter and Susan gave me a weird look.
“You know them?” Susan asked, a bit surprised. “You could say I do… We met a few days ago. Anyway, this is their order.” I said as I gently tore off the paper page and slided it to her.
Susan laughed as she didn’t even look at the paper, “Don’t worry, Y/n… We all here have their orders mesmerized. They’ve been coming here since they were little kids. And they always order the same.” she said and I nodded my head.
She turned around and opened the fridge and grabbed four sodas and placed them on a tray, “Here you go, and tell them their food will be there in 15 minutes.” she said and I picked up the round silver tray and started walking carefully towards their booth.
As I walked towards them, I could hear their conversation.
“What!? Y/n is the new waitress!? Maybe that’s why Danny didn’t tell us and told us we should go and check it out for ourselves.” Dean whisper-shouted as he ran a hand through his short dirty blonde hair.
Dean and Michael were sitting so their backs were facing me, and Jotaro and Kakyoin were sitting opposite of them. Good God, what would they think of me now?
I stopped in front of their booth and quietly placed the sodas on their table, “Your food will be done in 15 minutes.” I said and they all nodded.
I started to walk back to the counter where Susan was but I glanced back at Jotaro and smiled a little.
His face stayed neutral as he slightly nodded his head and focused on his friends.
I came back to Susan and she raised an eyebrow at me as she smirked. “What?” I asked in confusion as I placed the silver tray on the counter.
“I saw you smiling at that Kujo boy… Don’t tell me you got this job just to stare at him!” Susan said as she began to laugh and my face burnt in embarrassment.
“No! I didn't, I swear! It’s a bit complicated-” I tried to explain but she stopped me while waving her hand.
“Yeah- Yeah, I know- Liking him is surely complicated.” Susan continued to laugh and I didn't know what to say anymore.
“But you got it all mixed up! We only met a few days ago! How can you like somebody but barely know them?” I asked Susan and she shrugged her shoulders, “I don’t know, kiddo, love doesn’t work under any rules…” she said as she walked into the kitchen, leaving me alone sitting at the bar stools.
After a few minutes of sitting Susan returned with four plates with burgers on them and placed them on a counter, “Here they are, now go over there and earn that extra tip.” she winked and I tried to keep my cool from her comments as I put the four plates on my silver platter and slowly walked over to their booth.
I placed the plates with food on their table and they all thanked me and I smiled and nodded my head as I started to walk away.
I went back to my bar stool and sat on it. I kept glancing back at my assigned booths and saw that a family of three and I went to take their order.
While they were telling me what drinks they’ll have, I looked from the corner of my eye over to Jotaro’s booth and caught him already looking at me. And it wasn’t that friendly glance or anything…
He was just staring at me, probably thinking that I can’t see him. I quickly composed myself and fixed up my smile as I focused on the family.
And the whole shift went smoothly and after some time the diner became more and more empty.
I started to clean up the tables and collect the dirty dishes and brought them back to the kitchen.
Now, there was only one table occupied, and it was the one with Jotaro and his friends… They finished their food and drinks a long time ago, and even asked for refills. I rang up their bill and walked over to them.
Michael and Dean were the ones getting up most of the time to change the song on the jukebox and I once noticed Jotaro saying something to Michael as he was getting up, probably to put on the song he wanted.
“Alright guys, ready to pay?” I asked them while putting the bill on the table and everyone nodded.
They all pulled out the cash and put it on the table. I picked up the slightly crumpled up dollar bills and walked over to the counter and handed Susan the receipt and the money.
She thanked me and gave me the change. I walked over to them and placed the few dollar bills on the table and walked back to Susan, “Alright, kiddo! You did amazing on your first day! You’re really hard working, I must note.” she said with a smile.
“Well, that comes with working tirelessly on a farm my whole life.” I joked and Susan nodded her head in agreement, “Ah, I remember my life living on a farm… It was something else…” she noted and I nodded in agreement.
“Now you can go and throw out the trash, the trash bags are next to the back doors. Just throw them in the huge trash container. And you’re done for today.” Susan said as she untied her apron and walked around the counter.
“I’ll see you tomorrow, kiddo! And don’t worry about the lights or locking in, Frankie’s staying overnight today!” Susan exclaimed as she walked out of the dinner and I sighed. Now it was only me, Jotaro and his friends.
As I was cleaning up the last table I heard them get up and walk to the entrance doors.
“See you tomorrow girlie, don't forget to leave your number next time!” Michael exclaimed, earning him a swat on the head from Jotaro.
“Good grief, stop embarrassing us.” Jotaro groaned as they all walked out and I chuckled a little.
They really knew how to be hilarious, that’s for sure. I walked to the kitchen and saw the exit doors with four trash bags laying next to it.
I opened the back doors and was met with a dark alleyway with one street lamp shining dimly, but just enough I could see a few meters ahead of me.
I left the doors open as I went to grab the first trash bag… And it turns out they were quite heavy.
And I threw the first bag into the trash container, then the second and then the third. And now I was left with the last, and the biggest trash bag… I tried to pick it up but I could barely hold it with my both hands.
I decided to drag it out and try to somehow lift it up and throw it in the trash container.
As I was dragging the trash bag, my back was facing the entrance. But all of a sudden I bumped into something that didn’t seem like a brick wall.
“AAH!” I screamed as I let go of the trash bag and jumped into the air. I whirled around and was met with Jotaro Kujo with his eyes slightly widened at my abrupt reaction.
“Uhm- Hi…? What are you doing here, exactly?” I breathed out as I smoothed out my uniform and raised an eyebrow at him.
“I don’t know, Kakyoin pushed me away from them and said that I need to go and find you to talk to you about me… being ‘too threatening’ with you a day ago?” he said in confusion as he air quoted the two last words.
Kakyoin was right, but he didn’t really have to do this… Next time I see him we’re going to have a nice long chat…
“Well, how thoughtful of him…” I smiled tightly as I went back to my huge trash bag. “You can talk while I- ngh- Throw this pile of crap in here-” I groaned as I dragged the trash bag closer to the container.
I noticed that Jotaro came closer to me and took out the trash bag strings out of my hands and pulled it into the air and threw it into the trash container. “Or you can-” I noted as Jotaro dusted off his hands.
I looked back at the diner and closed the exit doors, “Thanks- I mean for helping me out.” I said and he only nodded as we stood in the dimly lit alleyway. Jotaro started to walk away and I ran after him.
“You’re probably wondering what in the hell am I doing here, working at Frankie’s…” I laughed awkwardly as I matched up his pace.
He glanced at me and nodded his head, “Yeah, how in the hell did you even know about this place?” he asked as we stopped in the middle of an empty parking lot.
“I had to find a job since you know, I kind of… owe you five grand. I looked all around Winfield and I couldn’t find anybody that was hiring. But later I remembered that Kakyoin mentioned this place so I decided to shoot my shot, and now I work here.” I explained at a fast pace.
Jotaro chuckled a little and I looked at him with a surprised expression, “What’s so funny all of a sudden?” I asked and Jotaro looked me in the eyes.
“You won’t earn that sum of money by the end of the month.” he laughed and I squinted my eyes at him.
“Well, if you have any suggestions, I’m gladly listening.” I replied to him and he immediately quieted down.
I pulled out my car keys from the breast pocket on my waitress uniform and unlocked my car.
I got in my car and closed the doors. Jotaro was still standing there as I started to drive backwards.
I rolled down my window, “Hey! You have your car here?” I asked as I noticed only one car left in the parking lot that wasn’t mine.
He shook his head, “I don’t, I came here by foot. Why do you ask?” he asked me and I stopped for a second.
Yeah… Why did I ask him that?
“Uh- I can drop you off. That’s the least I can do.” I laughed and Jotaro shrugged his shoulders as he walked over to my car and got into the passenger seat, but not without adjusting his seat since he couldn’t fit his legs fully.
‘And he actually accepted the offer- Today’s full of surprises isn’t it?’ I thought as I pulled out of the parking lot and before I could turn left or right, I looked at Jotaro.
“Mind telling me the directions to your house?” I asked him and he motioned me to turn to the right.
“Alright, I’ll drive slowly and you tell me when I need to take another turn.” I said and Jotaro nodded his head with a quiet humm. To politely say, he smelled like an ashtray. While it wasn’t bad or that it bothered me, it was just an unusual smell since nobody at my household ever smoked.
We drove for ten or so minutes until we stopped at a smaller one story house.
“This is it.” Jotaro said as I parked next to the sidewalk and he exited the car. I noticed one light still on in his house, “Well, see you tomorrow at school, Jotaro.” I said as I waved at him and he bid my goodbye with a nod of his head.
I turned on the radio as I drove off. Once I got back to my street I parked the car in the driveway, grabbed my school bag and locked it before getting into my house.
Mom and dad were sleeping on a couch as an action movie played in front of them.
I sighed as I entered my room and thought about my first day at my new job and smiled.
It went actually great and I think that after this quite short ride, I’m on good terms with Jotaro.
But as I got ready for bed and laid down, I just couldn’t fall asleep.
I walked over to my window and sat at the end of it, looking up to the starry night sky. I pulled my knees so I could rest my chin on them.
My mind went back to Tommy and his description of Jotaro and his friends. And he obviously had many issues with them.
I was just scared as to what would happen if he was to find out that I work at Frankie’s?
That’s why tomorrow, I have to forge a plan on how to fool Tommy that I work at the Grand Star Cinema …
It seemed like her new life couldn’t get any more complicated, but as many people say never say never, right?
When I posted about a Grease AU for Captive Prince ... I meant it like that. :D
Finally, after a long time, I was able to plot out and write something again. Felt good tbh. 👌 Tomorrow I'm going to edit the first draft and I think I'm going to post on Friday the Prologue of it. 8D
It will be a nine chapters FanFiction full with fluff, bad comedy and silly romance stuff. :D
Yesterday I didn’t even sleep a wink, the anxiety was getting to my head and I couldn’t stop thinking about how I told Tommy and my parents I work at the Grand Star Cinema…
Well my plan was, to say the least, really stupid.
I won’t do anything unless one of them brings it up.
Which kind of made sense since they probably have forgotten about it? At least Tommy has (hopefully so). And my parents certainly are soaking everything he and his family are saying.
For example, this morning dad was telling mom how he saw those hooligans greasers yesterday in town.
They never thought badly about anybody until Tommy and his family started to come to our house for dinners or tea parties.
I wanted to say something, defend them. Which I did once, saying that they can’t say such things until they’ve met them, and I was met with a long lecture about how I must keep away from them because they'll corrupt me.
Utter nonsense if you ask me…
And today at lunch break Lisa and Sheri were absent since they had to stay behind to help the chemistry professor. Which left me all alone sitting by myself….
I ate my food in silence on the round table, thankfully Tommy and his friends were nowhere in sight, but now I was feeling a little bored since I had nobody to talk to.
I glanced up as I drank from my water bottle and looked around the huge backyard of the school. And then I spotted Jotaro and his friends sitting by the same oak tree and talking. I smiled a little but focused on my food again.
After a few moments I felt a few eyes on me so I looked up and saw them looking at me and waving, well everyone except Jotaro who only nodded his head.
I slightly waved back and then I saw them get up and walk in my direction.
“Hi, Y/n! How are you? Mind if we sit here?” Kakyoin greeted me as he motioned to the empty table and I nodded my head, “Yeah, of course.” I said as I motioned them to sit. Kakyoin smiled as he, Dean and Michael quickly sat themselves on the benches, leaving Jotaro to sit next to me.
“So, Y/n, do you, you know, have any plans after you finish up at Frankie’s?” Michael asked and everyone glared at him and I slightly squinted my eyes at him.
“Really, Michael? Really? You’re going after Tommy’s girl? You want to get beat up?” Dean laughed as he slapped his shoulder.
... I’m... Tommy’s... WHAT!?
“Hold the fuck up! What is that supposed to mean!?” I exclaimed, appalled at what HAD Dean said.
The dirty blonde guy looked at me with confusion on his face, “What? Did I say something wrong?” he asked and my eyes widened.
I coughed a few times, just to come to my senses, “You said I’m ‘Tommy’s girl’ . What in the fuck is that supossed to mean? The only thing I have in common with that guy is that we’re neighbors.” I scoffed, the mere thought of him making my blood boil.
Dean, along with everyone else at the table looked at each other with raised eyebrows, “...That’s very interesting … Then why did we hear him say that to his friends?” Michael asked and I shook my head quickly.
“Look guys, I have no idea as to why he would say that. I don’t like him, not one bit. He pokes his nose where it doesn’t belong and he bad mouths people for no reason. I think that is enough for an explanation.” I said as I crossed my arms.
“This makes no fucking sense, but we trust you more that that stuck up dickhead.” Kakyoin said and everyone nodded their heads which made me sigh in relief. I mean, for a little time I knew Tommy, he sure was a huge asshole and a liar.
Jotaro rolled his eyes, “Great, can we now eat in peace? Talking about that idiot ruins my appetite.” he groaned and we all laughed as we continued to eat.
I still was a bit shaken about what happened a few minutes ago, but I decided not to think about it for now and enjoyed the company of my new friends.
We actually had a lot in common!
Michael’s family and Dean and Danny’s family moved from similar places like Dalevile into Winfield, but to the East side since they couldn’t afford to live in the West side.
But they didn’t see it as an disadvantage or something to be ashamed of (like Tommy makes it to be).
And they all met when they started to work in the car repair shop, which led us to talk about cars. Now, I’m no expert so few things left me clueless… But they gladly explained them to me with a smile.
“You know Jotaro, if I had a car like you, I’d drive everywhere with it.” Kakyoin laughed and everyone at the table agreed and Michael rolled his eyes jokingly, “Yeah! You never drive that baby out of the back of the shop! It’s always covered!” he said and I looked up to Jotaro with a raised eyebrow.
“What kind of car do you have?” I asked him and he sighed, “It’s the ‘69 Chevrolet Camaro. My old man gifted it to me for my birthday last month. He drove all the way here with this giant ass car in a wooden box and shit and gave it to me. The model just came out so it wasn’t on sale at many places.” he said and I looked at him in awe. [car look reference https://imgur.com/a/xrGHehP ]
Gosh he has such a cool grandpa!
“Driving must feel like a dream in it!” I laughed and Jotaro nodded, “It does, but I had to stop certain somebodys from driving off secretly.” He glared at his three friends who only sweated and laughed awkwardly.
“You can’t blame us, Jotaro!” Kakyoin sniggered and Michael and Dean laughed along. “Y/n, you also have a cool car! Just that you owe Jotaro five grand-” Michael joked and Kakyoin slapped him on the head, “ Hey! You’re ruining the moment… ” he whisper-yelled but loud enough so I could hear.
I did sweat a bit out of nervousness at the mention of my debt to Jotaro, so I slightly glanced at him and he was luckily eating his food in peace and probably didn’t hear Michael’s comment.
Kakyoin quickly changed the theme and we continued to eat and talk about other topics. After a few more minutes the bell rang and we all bid our goodbyes.
I headed to my classroom and saw Sheri and Lisa sitting on their table and sat on my spot next to them.
“Y/n! You’re back in full tact!” Sheri laughed as Lisa was removing her lab coat. “That I am… I was having a decent lunch break with Jotaro and his friends.” I said and both of them looked at each other with a smirk.
“Oh really? We didn’t know you were so close with them… Tommy might get jealous.” Lisa jokes and my face paled after hearing the last sentence.
“Good fucking God, not you two.” I fumed as I sat on my chair and crossed my arms.
And of course , speak of the devil and he shall appear…
“Y/n! Hey! Glad to see you!” Tommy greeted me as he entered the classroom with the usual six girls trailing behind him.
I still hadn't learned their names… “Hi.” I replied dryly as I pulled out the books for the next class.
Tommy, evidently unsatisfied by the lack of response he got from me, placed his hands on my desk and chuckled.
“You know, since you are working at Grand Star Cinema I was thinking we could go check out the new Bond film that came out. And you’ll get familiar with your new workplace.” he said with a smug smirk.
My mind went blank as I processed his words. I’m fucking screwed if I decline, and by the looks of his fangirls, they’re going to kill me if I say yes.
‘Take this one for the team, Y/n!’ I cheered myself on weakly and slightly nodded my head.
“...Sure. When does the movie start?” I ask him in a monotone voice. “It starts at exactly 11:00 p.m. That isn’t the problem for you?” Tommy said with a smile.
My shift at Frankie’s ended at 10:45 p.m. so it gave me much needed time to get to the cinema, but I’ll have to bring other clothes with me so I could change out of my waitress uniform.
I nodded my head, “Alright, and what movie are we planning on watching?” I raised an eyebrow at him.
“We're going to watch On Her Majesty's Secret Service, you know the new Bond movie.” Tommy said with a proud voice.
By the tone of his voice, he probably thinks he’s like James Bond…
“Okay, I’ll go.” I replied and focused back on my books. Tommy beamed as he glanced back at the ferocious pack of six girls and laughed, “Sorry, ladies. I’m taken for tonight.” he laughed and I shot my head up and squinted my eyes at him.
Did he just ask me to go to the cinema so he could say he wouldn’t be able to go out with those girls? What an fucking asshole. If I could, I'd kick him where the sun doesn’t shine right now.
I looked at Sheri and Lisa with annoyed expressions and I saw their mouths open and eyes widened.
Damn, even they were left stunned. But they quickly shook their heads and as Lisa was about to say something, our math professor came in, signaling us all to calm down.
*Time skip to the end of school*
After our classes were over, Sheri, Lisa and I ran to the bathroom so I could change into my waitress uniform. This seems like it will become a routine for us.
“I still can’t believe you agreed to go with Tommy to the cinema…” Lisa mumbled out as they waited inside the bathroom.
“But I had no other choice! If I had declined, he was going to get suspicious or something!” I exclaimed as I quickly dressed down and put on my dark red waitress uniform.
I dashed out and fixed my hair as I looked at myself in the mirror, “Alright, I have to get going now. I can’t be late.” I rushed Sheri and Lisa out as I clutched my overstuffed school bag, since now I had my books, school clothes and books in it.
“Y/n, if you need any help with that shitbag, call us from the payphone near the cinema, ok?” Sheri asked as she grabbed my arm and I nodded my head, “Don’t worry, I will. Now, goodbye!” I laughed as I dashed away from them and to the entrance of the school
The school cleared out pretty quickly so I could parade with my uniform around and nobody would see.
Once I got in my car I started to drive towards Frankie’s. I hope this shift ends quickly…
*3rd p.o.v, Y/n*
Y/n dashed inside the quite empty diner and ran to the counter where Susan was waiting for her. “Hello!” Y/n greeted the older lady as she caught up her breath. Susan smiled at the h/c haired girl as she was cleaning the glasses.
“Well, hello to you too, doll. Why’re you in such a rush?” Susan asked with an raised eyebrow. Y/n picked up her silver tray, the little notepad and a pen and looked at her assigned booths.
Jotaro and everyone else was already here, waiting for her to pick up their orders. “How long have they been waiting for me?” Y/n asked Susan and she looked up to look at them, “Don’t worry, they arrived a few minutes before you, but nothing to worry about.” she said as she cleaned the last glass.
Y/n nodded her head and quickly speeded towards them. “Hi guys! You’ll have the usual I presume?” she asked and everyone nodded their heads.
“So, what's up-” Dean started but Y/n quickly rushed back to Susan to give the order back.
“What’s up with her?” Danny asked and Michael, who was sitting next to him, glared at him, “What’s up with you? Isn’t it past your bedtime?” he sniggered, earring a death glare from Dean.
“Jeez, I can’t even joke around here. Not my fault your brother decided to randomly go with us.” Michael said and Kakyoin shushed him, “Danny is right… something is up with her. Any guesses?” he asked and everyone looked at Jotaro.
He gave them a confused look. “What? I didn’t do anything.” he said and Dean raised an eyebrow at him, “You sure you aren’t mangling with her behind our backs?” He joked, making Jotaro choke on his spit.
“The fuck? Why would you even think that?” Jotaro snapped back and Kakyoin patted his back, “You know, you getting all defensive like this isn’t helping your case.” he whispered and Jotaro who only fumed up more.
“When we told you to talk to her… what did you say?” Kakyoin asked, much louder now. “Nothing special, she just offered to drive me to my house and we talked for a bit.” Jotaro said, not getting why everyone was smirking at each other.
Michael nudged Dean as he sniggered, “Yeah, they sure had a hefty ‘talk’-” he commented and both of them covered their mouths with their hands, but it wasn’t helping since they began to turn red from how much they were trying to keep their laughter in.
“Good grief, sometimes I think I should’ve run over you two with my car.” Jotaro groaned as a slight hint of pink covered his cheeks.
His mind went back to last night and he must admit, she wasn’t that bad of a person to talk to.
Maybe, they could have more lunch breaks together…
He looked back and saw Y/n carrying the plates with their food on them and everyone’s eyes lit up. “Here you go-” Y/n said as she placed one plate at the time to everyone at the table.
She immediately placed the bill on the table and politely smiled at them and walked away.
“Yup, somethings definitely up.” Danny said and everyone looked at him with raised eyebrows.
“And since when were you a woman's expert? You’re fifteen!” Michael pointed his finger at Danny who only shrugged his shoulders, “The magician never reveals his secrets.” he said with a smirk as he continued to eat his food.
Jotaro sighed, “I’m going to the toilet, don’t do anything stupid.” he said as he walked off. After he was gone, Kakyoin snapped his fingers, gaining the attention of the guys, “You know, maybe one of us should go and… check up on what she’s up to after her shift.” Kakyoin suggested and everyone gave him weird looks.
“...And why would we do that?” Dean asked him and Kakyoin laughed, “Not us, dear Dean… Jotaro.” he smirked as he propped up his elbows on the table.
“Since when do you play the matchmaker, Kakyoin?” Michael laughed and Kakyoin shrugged his shoulders.
“Is it because you can’t get a girlfriend yourself?” Danny commented earning a slap on the head from Dean, “Good God, Danny! Why are you so rude?” he asked but Danny only smiled.
“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that. But anyway, I, as Jotaro’s best friend, have a duty to find him a girlfriend since he can’t find one of his own. Which means I have to take some kind of precautions.” Kakyoin said and Michael’s eyes widened.
“You… You didn’t vandalize her car… did you? ” he asked quietly, surprised by what Kakyoin said.
Kakyoin spit out his drink and violently shaked his head, “The fuck I did! I repair cars, not destroy them!” he exclaimed. Everyone nodded their heads, believing him.
“Alright, let’s go back on track. We’ll say we have hours we need to ‘make up’ for the hours at the workshop so we can’t do that.
So, he will have to go there alone and if luck is on his side, he might see her.” Kakyoin explained and the guys agreed.
“Can’t believe we’re actually doing this…” Michael muttered under his breath as he noticed Jotaro coming back from the bathroom.
“Took you long enough, Jotaro.” Dean said and Jotaro tossed and sat back next to Kakyoin.
Jotaro only shrugged his shoulders, “Eh, I only went to smoke a cigarette. I need a break from you four.” he said as he ate some of his food.
Kakyoin signaled with his eyes to Jotaro and everyone quickly began to eat their food.
After a few minutes everyone was done, “Hey! Jotaro, buddy! You know how we have those work hours we need to make up for at the workshop? Yeah, we kind of can’t come to see what’s up with Y/n… Do you mind doing that alone?” asked Kakyoin as he drank the last bit of his soda.
“Who even said I was going to go-” Jotaro questioned his friends but they quickly pulled out their cash, slapped it on the table and began to run out the entrance, and since Danny couldn’t run the fastest, Dean grabbed him and put him under his arm and dashed out of the diner.
“Good grief…” Jotaro groaned as he pulled out his own cash and put it on the table.
He glanced at Y/n who was now cleaning the glasses quickly as she kept glancing at the clock.
‘These losers are up to something, and I know when to trust my gut feeling.’ Jotaro thought as he kept glancing at Y/n.
He planned to take a walk around the West side, even before his friends suggested he follow Y/n.
‘Well, if I see her, I see her. And if I don’t, I don’t. Not like they’re going to know anyways.’ the dark haired greaser thought as he drank the rest of his soda.
After a few minutes Y/n ran to the bathroom and moments after she ran out with a new outfit.
She was wearing a short checkered black and white skirt with a white short sleeved shirt with black flats.
Jotaro’s eyes followed her as she walked out and he too got out of his seat and tucked out his leather jacket before he too headed out.
Y/n didn’t even notice him behind her as she rushed inside her car and drove off.
He took out his cigarette and lit it up. ‘This is going to be a long walk…’ he thought as he puffed out the smoke of the cigarette.
He noticed her car disappear out of his sight as he continued to walk his way to the center of the town.
After walking for twenty minutes, he arrived in the much more bustling and crowded West side. He was taller than many people here, so he had no problem getting the to move out of his way.
As Jotaro was walking down the sidewalk he noticed Y/n’s dark blue car parked next to the sidewalk and a rather familiar white Ford Mustang parked ahead of it. [car look reference https://imgur.com/ZoO0sAf ]
‘What’s Tommy’s car doing here?’ Jotaro asked himself as he stopped next to a dark alleyway. He looked up and he was met with a horrendous sight of Tommy smiling at Y/n who looked like she wanted to be anywhere else right now.
“Ready to go princess?” Tommy asked with a chuckle and Y/n hesitantly nodded, “Yeah, I almost died of excitement.” she said as Tommy dragged her in the cinema.
Jotaro’s staring was interrupted by a tap on his shoulder.
He turned around and he was met with the sight of five guys with smirks on their faces.
“Well, hello to you too Jotaro! I didn’t know you would show up here tonight!” the first guy said as he swept up his brown hair.
“The fuck you you want Luis?” Jotaro asked as he immediately recognised who these guys were.
They were Tommy’s minions. They did whatever Tommy asked of them without a question. And Luis was Tommy’s trusted right hand while the others, who’s names Jotaro didn’t care to remember, just stayed next to them and listened to whatever orders they were told.
“You know, Henry over here still has a broken rib since our last… encounter … let’s call it that. And since you’re here, we thought we could repay you for that.” Luis said as they began to walk towards Jotaro started to back walk into the long and dark alleyway.
“I beat your asses up that time, what makes you think I won’t now?” Jotaro asked as his vision was filled with the darkness of the poorly lit ally. The only thing he saw was the exit and the outlines of Tommy’s friends.
Luis chuckled, “That’s why Henry brough a little gift with him this time.” Luis said and Jotaro looked at Henry who pulled something from his pocket.
Jotaro looked down to his hand and saw a shiny pocket knife tightly clutched in his hand.
“Well? Afraid yet Kujo? The streets are empty since most of the people went home, so don’t be afraid to give the best of you.” Luis cackled as they began to approach him and Jotaro narrowed his eyes.
“Bring it on, shitface.” Jotaro sneered and Luis and the others laughed. He really should've gone home…
*1st p.o.v, Y/n*
After we bought our popcorn and drinks, we headed to the auditorium number three where the new James Bond movie was.
It was quite empty, which was a good thing since it meant that I didn’t have anybody sitting next to me… except Tommy.
After the movie began, he commented on every little detail.
“Heh, you know- Dad said he was going to buy me the same exact gun he has! I mean look at that Walther PPK! He said that he’s going to even buy me the same exact car like James has.” Tommy flaunted and I fought my urge to roll my eyes for the hundredth time.
‘Well, Tommy, if I had that gun, I would have shoten you to shut up…’ I thought as I nodded my head with a tight smile, “That’s great, Thomas. But can you quiet down? You’re distracting me.” I said and Tommy nodded his head as he scoffed, “Whatever…” he said as he loudly chewed on his popcorn.
After some time, he nudged my shoulder, “You know, you could be my Bond girl.” Tommy said and my eyes widened in shock.
‘This fucker really thinks he’s James Bond…’ I cringed as I ignored him.
*Time skip to the end of the movie*
The credits finally rolled and I joyously jumped out of my seat, “Ah, I had a good time Tommy- I mean Thomas.” I quickly corrected myself. Tommy nodded his head and swept his dirty blonde hair up.
“Me too! Did I say that dad plans me to buy-” “Yes, yes you did.” I interrupted him before he even had a chance to continue. He really ruined the whole franchise for me now…
As we exited the cinema I saw my car thankfully in full tact. “Well Tommy, see you tomorrow.” I waved at him as he went to his car and winked at me. “See you tomorrow doll!” he exclaimed as he drove off.
And magically, my headache was gone! Now I can finally go home and sleep…
*3rd p.o.v, Y/n*
Y/n began to walk towards her car and all of a sudden, the all so quiet walk to her car was interrupted by a series of groans and grunts coming from the dark alley. Y/n shot her head in the direction of the noises.
It was a dark and creepy alleyway. She looked around and noticed the street completely empty.
“Fuckig shit…” she muttered as she mustered up the courage and walked to the entrance of the alleyway, tightly gripping her car keys. She noticed a pair of legs sticking out behind the dumpster.
“....Hello? Are you okay?” she shouted while cupping her hands around her mouth. Y/n approached the dumpster as cautiously as possible.
She watched every step she took as she started calculating all the ways this could end.
Y/n felt like she was in one of those series where people found a poisonous snake and they called a professional to take care of it. But nobody called for her.
She decided to sign her own death contract, it seems. Her shoes echoed in the alleyway, probably alerting the person that someone was heading their way.
As she slowly walked to the dumpster, she noticed the familiar features of certain somebody she knew….
No way
No fucking way
Jotaro!?
“Holly shit! What happened to you!?” Y/n exclaimed as she crouched down to his level and observed his face, as much as she could in the darkness of the alleyway.
Jotaro only grunted as he sat up more against a wall.
“Nothing- I was just paid a visit.” he gouged up. “Jotaro, we need to get you to the hospital! Right fucking now!” Y/n shouted as she tried to get him up but he didn’t budge.
“Hell, I’m going there. I’ve faced much worse than a beating.” he groaned as he slowly got up.
“Fine- But do you have your car with you here?” Y/n asked as she got up. “I don’t, but don’t worry, I can go home by foot.” Y/n ran in front of him as they exited the dark alleyway.
He had a bruise one one cheek and a bleeding cut on his other cheek, a bleeding nose and red knuckles.
“No ifs, ands or buts, Jotaro! I’m driving you home to get you fixed up.” Y/n said as she motioned to her car. Jotaro bit his slightly busted lip and slightly winced in pain.
“Fine. But let’s go quickly.” he said as they walked to her car as he looked around, Tommy’s friends nowhere in sight.
“You can get in the back since I don’t think you’ll be comfortable in the driver’s seat.” Y/n said as she opened the doors for him and Jotaro quietly got in and laid on to the seats.
“Thankfully, I remember where you live, so you can close your eyes and I’ll tell you when we arrived.” Y/n said as she started her car and began driving out of the West side of Winfield.
Jotaro stayed quiet the whole ride, thinking about Y/n kind act.
If this would have happened any other day, nobody would have helped him. People around here hold a giant disdain towards him and the people on the East side so they would probably call the police on him.
But his thoughts stopped as he remembered his mom who was probably worried as to where he was… Shortly afterwards Y/n stopped in front of his house and noticed all the lights out.
“Well, we're in luck since it seems that your parents are asleep.” Y/n said as she got out of the car and opened the back doors for Jotaro to get out.
He slowly got out and pulled out a house key out of his pocket.
“Be quiet and stay here.” Jotaro said as he quietly unlocked the wooden doors and entered the quiet house.
He got in and saw the bedroom doors of his mom closed. “Okay, it’s safe, you can come in.” Jotaro said and Y/n quickly got in as she locked her car.
She looked around the small house and smiled, it reminded her of the one she had back in Daleville.
But Y/n quickly shook her head and focused on Jotaro, “Okay and can you show me your bathroom?” she asked and Jotaro motioned her to follow him.
They entered the small bathroom and Jotaro sat on the edge of the bathtub and groaned quietly. “You need help over there?” Y/n asked as she approached Jotaro, who slightly nodded.
“Yeah, those fuckers beat the shit out of my arms and legs. Glad they didn’t do much to my face.” He said as Y/n grabbed one sleeve of his leather jacket and gently pulled it off and she did the same to the other sleeve.
“Where is your first aid kit?” Y/n asked as placed the leather jacket on top of the closed toilet seat.
“In the bottom cabinet, under the sink.” Jotaro said and Y/n opened the cabinet and pulled out the kit.
Y/n opened the kit and pulled out the half used bottle of rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball, “Well… you know this is going to sting.” the h/c haired girl said as she walked over to Jotaro and looked him in his eyes.
Where does she even start? There's so much injury going on…
“Let’s start here…” she mumbled as she sat on the edge of the bathtub and motioned for Jotaro to lower his head.
And he did as he was motioned to, trusting Y/n’s medical abilities.
She gently began to dab the bleeding wound with the soak up cotton ball.
“Just tell me when you want me to stop, okay?” Y/n asked and Jotro nodded his head. The pain did sting, but it was nothing new to him.
After a few moments she noticed Jotaro looking at her with a raised eyebrow, “What is it?” she whispered to him.
“You’re pretty good at this… You have practice with cleaning wounds?” he muttered back.
“Believe me I do… Geese and chickens can be super mean sometimes…” Y/n chuckled slightly as she patted down his lower lip, getting rid of the acces blood. “Makes sense…” Jotaro noted.
She didn’t dare to look up into his eyes, since she was so close to him. But she must admit… he does have really beautiful ones…
“Alright, here's your gause so you can wipe down the blood from your nose.” The e/c eyed girl said as she pulled out a medium white gauze from the kit that was in her lap. Jotaro took it and wiped the blood up.
Y/n’s eyes focused on his red knuckles, “I'll wet up the other gauzes with cold water so we can wrap them around your knuckles.” she said as she got up and wet the both gauzes in cold water from the sink and put the kit on to the floor.
“Okay, give me your right hand.” Y/n said and Jotaro gave her his hand, which was slightly bigger than hers.
She wrapped up the gauze around his knuckles and motioned for him to give her his left hand to which she did the same.
“In the morning, you’re going to put an ice pack on your bruised cheek and knuckles, okay?” Y/n asked as she got up and went to close up the first aid kit and put it back in its place.
Y/n walked up to the bathroom doors and glanced back at Jotaro, “Uh- I’ll get going now… See you tomorrow Jotaro.” but before she could walk out the door, Jotaro’s gauze wrapped hand grabbed her shoulder.
“You can’t. It’s too dangerous.” Jotaro whispered as he made Y/n turn around to face him. “What do you mean, too dangerous? It’s like a twenty minute ride from there to my house.” Y/n said as she felt the wet gauze staining her white shirt.
Jotaro sighed, “I know what I’m talking about. Here live some dangerous people, and I know that the best.” he said as he closed the bathroom doors behding Y/n, making her back hit the closed doors.
“U-Uh… Okay then…” Y/n whispered nervously as she felt how close he was to her. “Follow me.” Jotaro said as he finally opened the doors and walked in the direction of his room.
He motioned for Y/n to take a seat on his old bed as he turned on the lights, “I’m going to get you my mom's pajamas since I know she has a shit ton of them in her bedroom. Don’t snoop around though.” Jotaro warned Y/n who vigorously nodded her head.
He walked out, leaving Y/n alone. Jotaro’s bed creaked at any sudden movements so she decided to sit still and observe the room.
It had two shelves on the wall next to the desk. There was a picture with what seemed to be his father, mother and him.
The next picture was him, his parents and grandparents all smiling under the giant christmas tree. In those pictures, he looked like he was ten years old.
Y/n looked at his bed which had one big pillow, two blankets and one small pillow that was put next to the wall. It looked like it barely fit one person in, so she slightly panicked.
She sometimes daydreamed about sleeping over at a guy's house, but not like this, after saving him and fixing up his wounds.
Her stomach twisted at the thought of Jotaro laying next to her. And out of everyone, the universe chose that it was him.
After a few minutes he came in with what looked like a long sleeping gown with a flower pattern, classic mom pajamas.
“Here you go, you can go to the bathroom to change… And I think that there's a spare toothbrush under the cabinet.” Jotaro said as he gave Y/n the sleeping gown and she speeded out of his room and into the bathroom.
Y/n quickly got dressed up and neatly folded up her clothes. She found the spare toothbrush and quickly brushed her teeths.
She walked out with her clothes in her hands and tried to make as little sound as possible.
The knee length gown did make her feel comfortable, but she reminded herself that it was not hers, but it was owned by Jotaro’s mother.
She entered the room and when she did, she was met with a sight of Jotaro in a black tank top and dark blue pajama pants.
“I’m so sorry- I should’ve knocked first-” she blushed as she covered her eyes, thinking that Jotaro was interrupted by her mid dressing.
“What do you mean? I’m done dressing.” He said as he crossed his arms. “Oh?” Y/n squeaked out as she peered over her hand and looked at his muscular arms.
“Well, if that’s the case…” she awkwardly chuckled as she gently closed the doors of his bedroom.
“Alright, I can sleep on the floor, and since you’re injured you need to lay on something soft.” Y/n said as she began to sit down but Jotaro grabbed her upper arm and got her up.
“No, you aren’t sleeping on the damn floor, you’re sleeping in the bed. You will get huge back pain and probably a spider bite.” he said as he sat her down on the bed.
Y/n gulped nervously, “A-Alright.” she muttered with a shaky voice. She scooted over to the wall and draped one blanket over herself.
Yeah, it might be the beginning of summer, but nothing felt better than laying under a blanket.
Jotaro walked over to the light switch and turned off the lights. The room was now completely dark, except the glistening rays of moon seeping through the opened window.
Jotaro slowly walked to the bed and laid next to Y/n, making her scoot over the wall even more.
“...Good night…” Jotaro whispered as he closed his eyes. “Good night, Jotaro.” Y/n whispered back as she tried to close her eyes and fall asleep too. She felt Jotaro’s warmth next to her and it felt a little comforting.
But after a few minutes it became a little suffocating. This guy was a walking heather! Y/n turned a little and fidgeted around until she found the right spot and tightly held the blanket to herself.
Her heart beat didn’t want to calm down, no matter if she tried to breathe steadily or imagine happy scenarios with Bucky.
Her mind always went back to Jotaro… Was her brain trying to tell her something?
But Y/n quickly shook her head as she stared at the white wall as her back was facing Jotaro’s. She once again tried to close her eyes and fall asleep, but her heart wasn’t having it.
After a few minutes of calm breathing her quick beating heart steadied and she finally managed to fall asleep.
She thought it was just nervousness… But was it really just that, or was it something… much deeper?
“Holly shit! Look at how many dresses there are!” Sheri exclaimed as she rushed inside a huge dress boutique as Y/n and Lisa trailed behind. Y/n stayed quiet as she and Lisa followed Sheri to the register.
“Mom!” Sheri exclaimed and an older blond woman walked to the counter and smiled, “Hello dear, going dress shopping with your friends I see?” she laughed and Sheri nodded.
She nodded and smiled, “Well, good luck to you girls! And don’t rush, the right dress is waiting for you to find it.” she said and the three girls nodded their heads and headed deeper in the boutique.
Y/n sighed as she looked at all the dresses displayed to them. She really didn’t even feel like going to the prom, but thanks to Tommy, she was forced to be his date and go.
She would much rather go with Jotaro, but even just a thought of him made her heart wrench in sadness.
Sheri put a hand on her shoulder and looked at her with sympathy, “...I know you don’t want to go to prom… Because of you-know-who - But at least you can look way prettier than him. I mean you already do but you get my point.” she said with a wink and Y/n laughed.
“You are right about that one for sure.” Y/n said as she glanced at a few dresses and decided to take a closer look at them.
Some had beautiful colors but questionable designs but some had the opposite.
‘Will he… even come to the prom?’ Y/n asked herself as she browsed the dresses that were hung on the hanger.
None of them caught her eye but as she looked up, she noticed this was one of probably a thousand rows of dresses.
*thirty minutes later*
“-I’m exhausted…” Lisa said as she leaned against the outer wall of the bright pink dressing room wall.
“Yeah, my legs are hurting from all this walking…” Y/n said as she exited the dressing room with yet another dress in her hands.
“Guys! Come have some spirit! The prom is going to be in two days!” Sheri exclaimed as she exited the dressing room in a bright yellow dress.
“I’m sorry Sheri, but I don’t think I have the energy to try on more dresses.” Y/n said and Lisa nodded in agreement.
Sheri rolled her eyes and laughed, “Alright girls, give me 10 minutes.” she said with an evil smirk as she ran off into the boutique, still wearing the yellow dress.
“Should we be concerned?” Y/n asked and Lisa shrugged her shoulders.
“I’m not sure, but right now I think I’ll take a nap here.” Lisa whispered as she closed her eyes and leaned her head against the wall.
“Alright… Then I’m left all to myself.” Y/n muttered to herself as she decided to look around more, despite her wanting to sit down. As she looked to the side she noticed pastel pink curtains in the corner.
Y/n shrugged her shoulders as she decided to take a look. As she walked closer she noticed a slight gap between the curtains.
‘Should I look in, or should I go back?’ she thought but decided to go in anyway.
As Y/n moved a curtain she saw a small area with one clothing rack with wheels and few dresses on them.
Why were these dresses here and not out with the others? They didn’t look similar or same to any other dress she saw in the boutique. Y/n walked to the clothing rack and skimmed over the 5 dresses,
She looked at the dresses and slightly gasped. They were all so beautiful! “I should ask Sheri about these ones.” she muttered under her breath and as she turned around she was met with Sheri smiling at her.
“Y/n! I was trying to find you all around the boutique!” Sheri exclaimed and Y/n jumped in the air. “Holly shit, Sheri! You scared me!” Y/n yelped in surprise.
“This is the hanger with the dresses that nobody wanted. They’ve been here for three years at least. ” Sheri said as she took the other five dresses from the rack and ushered Y/n out of the area.
“You’re going to try every one of those!” Sheri exclaimed as rushed Y/n to the dressing rooms and shoved all the dresses in her arms. Lisa, who was now wide awake, stood next to Sheri and laughed.
Y/n took off her clothes and put on the first dress, and for some reason it was just so itchy.
“Guys, I feel like I want to rip my skin apart because of how itchy this is.” Y/n said as she moved the pink curtain, revealing her in the first dress.
Sheri and Lisa nodded their heads and Lisa motioned for Y/n to go back in. As she tried on second, the third dress, Sheri and Lisa gave her disapproving looks. Now there was only one dress left.
“I really hope this is the one…” Y/n said as she traced her hand over the f/c dress. As she put it on, and walked out, Sheri and Lisa gasped and grinned.
“This is it ! This is the dress!” Sheri exclaimed as she went to Y/n and spun her around. [dress inspiration looks https://imgur.com/a/CZgQssf ]
“Next week will be the best week ever! Hopefully Tommy gets hit by a car until then…” Lisa said as she shrugged her shoulders and Y/n nodded her head, “Yeah, anything just so I don’t have to go with him. But anyways, let’s go pay for our dresses and maybe we can go out to eat something?” she said and the two girls nodded their heads in agreement and walked to the register to pay.
*3rd p.o.v, Jotaro*
“Man, look at these suits!” Dean exclaimed as he looked through the suit shop with Jotaro, Kakyoin and Michael.
Jotaro trailed behind Dean, Kakyoin and Michael, not wanting to even glance at the suits.
He planned to go, but now he was going to stay in the car repair shop or sulk at Frankie’s. The only girl he wanted to go with, was now going to go out with somebody who is much wealthier than him and has a good reputation.
He wanted to convince himself he didn’t care, but his aching heart proved him wrong.
All he wanted to do was go there and sweep her from Tommy’s arms and dance with her in the middle of the gym podium.
Even if he was going to be clad in his usual leather jacket and dark blue jeans.
“Why are we even here? You know we can’t afford any of these.” Michael putted as he looked at the multiple displayed suits,Kakyoin nodded in agreement.
“Come on guys! Don’t be so miserable! Maybe we can’t buy them, but we can rent them out, which is much cheaper.” Dean said as he looked behind, noticing Jotaro staring at the ground.
He motioned to the rest of the gang to come closer to him, not wanting Jotaro to hear their discussion.
“We have to convince Jotaro to go. Easy or the hard way, I don’t care, he has to go with us.” Dean said and everyone nodded their heads,
“Yeah, but how exactly are we gonna do that? All he’s doing now is sulk and look sad. How exactly do you think we’re going to coax him to come with us?” Michael whispered.
“Or maybe, we let him be? I don’t want to force him to come if he obviously doesn’t want to, besides Y/n is going to be there with Tommy, and I think that’s the last thing he needs to see. As much as I want him to join us, I think it's best for us to leave him be.” Kakyoin said and Dean and Michael nodded their heads in agreement.
“Yeah… It seems so. Damn, I feel so bad for him… Wait! That Bonnie girl! You remember her?” Michael said and Dean shook his head, “No way we’re gonna set him up with anybody, let alone her. ” he shuddered at the mere thought of Jotaro’s black haired fangirl.
“Okay, we're going to go and rent these suits up and then we’re going back to the workshop.” Dean said as they walked to the register and noticed an older man in an expensive suit signing off some papers.
Dean rang the bell that was on the table and the man looked up to them, quite startled, “O-Oh, hello gentlemen, are you perhaps lost?” he asked snarky as he viewed them up and down, observing their clothes, and Dean rolled his eyes.
“No we ain’t, sir . We’re here to rent up some suits for the prom if you may.” Dean said as he swept up his dirty blonde hair.
The man sniggeered a little, “Of course, why did I even ask?” He rolled his eyes as he got up from his chair and looked at them and then glanced at Jotaro who was further away.
“Are all four of you going to rent out suits?” the man asked and Dean motioned to Michael who was on his right side, himself who was in the middle, and Kakyoin who was on his left side.
“Only us three, sir.” Dean said, a bit dejected. “Alright then gentlemen, when you find your suits, come back to me to pay. ” the man said and the four boys headed deeper into the suit shop.
After they tried out multiple suits, they finally found the right ones.
“Damn, I didn’t know I looked so good in navy blue.” Dean said as he looked at himself in the mirror.
Kakyoin, who was also looking at himself in the mirror alongside Michael, laughed.
“I mean yeah, you don’t go and rent suits everyday.” Kakyoin said as he looked at the suit he was wearing.
It was almost black, but if you came closer you could see a hue of dark green.
Michael winked at his reflection as he was wearing black trousers and white and black suit jacket and he paired it up with a black bow tie, “I think I could get used to this.” he whispered as he looked away and noticed Jotaro looking at one of the displayed suits.
It was all black and paired up with white bow tie. Jotaro traced his fingers across the suit and sighed softly.
Michael’s eyes lowered as he felt sad for his best friend. He didn’t have enough money to rent out another suit, which made him feel even more bad.
After a few minutes, the guys got dressed up in their usual clothes and walked to the register and paid for the suits.
The older man placed them in plastic covers and stacked them up and the guys took them in their hands.
As they all started to walk towards the doors, they were met with Tommy and his gang entering the suit store.
“Oh! Jotaro! I didn’t expect you and your friends to be here out of all places.” Tommy laughed, making his friends laugh right after him. Jotaro’s eyes darkened as he heard Tommy’s agitating voice.
Kakyoin’s eyes widened as he looked back at Jotaro and then at Michael and Dean. “This isn’t going to end well…” Kakyoin muttered under his breath as he went to stand in front of Tommy and Jotaro.
“Oh, and you are all going to the prom? I’m surprised you all even managed to get dates.” Henry commented and Tommy nodded his head, “Yeah, and it looks like out friend Jotaro doesn’t have a date and the money to even rent out a suit.” he said as he rolled his eyes.
“Knock it off, Tommy.” Michael chimed in as he grabbed Jotaro’s upper arm and tried to move him away from Tommy but he didn’t budge. Jotaro lared at Tommy as he felt his blood boiling.
All he wanted to do was beat the shit out of every one of them, but especially Tommy. Without saying anything he strutted up to Tommy and picked him up by the collar of his polo shirt.
“Listen here you piece of shit… I can break all the bones in your body in under ten minutes… If I was you, I would shut my ass up and get out of my way.” Jotaro sneered as veno dripped from every word he said.
Tommy was about to open his mouth but the older man from the register rushed over to them and tore Tommy away from Jotaro’s grip, “That’s it! Out! Out all of you! Mr. Williams I am so sorry-” the man started to brush off Tommy’s shirt but he slapped his hand away.
“I-It’s fine, Richard. I think Jotaro and his friends were heading out anyway…” Tommy said, catching up his breath.
Jotaro grinded his teeth and stormed out of the suit shop. Kakyoin, Dean and Michael rushed out of the shop hoping he hadn't disappeared.
Kakyoin groaned as he slapped his forehead, “Great, we lost him.” he said as he looked around the bussy West side.
“He probably went back to his home, repair shop or Frankie’s. I don’t think he would be anywhere around here.” Dean said and Michael and Kakyoin nodded their heads.
“We can also head home and hope he doesn’t do anything stupid.” Michale said and they all headed back to their neighborhood.
Jotaro got into his house and slammed the doors shut. He got into his room and closed the doors and slid down until he was sitting on the floor.
First he saw Tommy, than the fucker had the nerve to taunt him.
He could’ve killed him right there and then, but thankfully his friends knocked him out of the blind rage.
Jotaro sighed as he got up and this time gently opened and closed the doors behind him as he headed to Holly’s room.
But of course not before making her some tea and a few biscuits from the pantry.
He knocked onto the doors two times and Holly’s warm but weak voice could be heard through the doors, “Jotaro baby! Come on in!” she laughed as Jotaro opened the doors and walked to her.
He placed the tea and biscuits silently on the nightstand next to her and sat on the bed.
“Dear, is everything alright? You seem like you’re really frustrated.” Holly said softly and Jotaro hesitantly nodded his head.
“Well then, I’m listening.” Holly said and Jotaro took a deep breath. He found it difficult to speak about what he felt, but he knew that his mother would listen to him. No matter how long it took him to speak out.
“There's this shitty dance or whatever it is at school in two days… and I really didn’t give two shits about it. But… the guys said I should invite Y/n to the dance. And I did want to do that. But…” Jotaro stopped as he gripped the bed sheets out of anger.
Holly smiled softly as she placed a hand on Jotaro’s shoulder, “It’s alright sweetie… continue.” she said calmly and Jotaro nodded his head.
“This fucker Tommy invited her before me and she said yes. I saw something was off, but I just couldn’t even be there.” Jotaro said as he released the bed sheets from his strong grip.
“And now I feel like I should go there and dance with her, but at the same time I think I should stay at home.” Jotaro said as he glanced at Holly who smiled at him.
“Oh, my dear boy… This is one the once in a lifetime chance! I think you should go there and have fun with your friends, even though you don’t have a date.” she said as she pulled off the covers of her legs.
Jotaro immediately got up to help her out but Holly chuckled, “Now… I’m not that weak, JoJo.” she said as she walked to her closet and opened it. She pulled out a black suit with an white bow tie on a hanger.
“This used to be your fathers when he performed here in America. He wore it only a few times, and I think it would look absolutely perfect on you.” she said as she handed Jotaro the suit and smiled.
“But I don’t think I even want to go-” “Hush now, dear. Put that in your room and think about it until the dance night.” she interrupted Jotaro mid sentence as she laid back on her bed and put the covers back on her legs.
“Now, if you’ll excuse me. I want to drink my tea in peace and quiet.” Holly said and Jotaro slowly walked out of her room and gently closed the doors.
He walked back to his room and laid the suit onto his bed and crossed his arms.
He still planned on not going, but Holly’s words repeated in his head. Making him unsure of his first choice.
*Time skip to the prom night*
As Y/n put on her dress and did her make up and hairstyle she looked herself in the mirror. She did look stunning, but she knew that it was all fake, it was all for Tommy Williams.
She imagined herself dancing to one of the slow songs with Jotaro as they gazed into each other's eyes, but she knew it would only happen in her imagination since she doubted he would show up.
As she was touching up her hairstyle she heard a loud honking of a car outside her house. “It’s Tommy…” she muttered under her breath as she smoothed out her f/c dress and rushed down.
“Oh! Y/n dear! You look absolutely beautiful! Just like a princess out of the fairy tale!” her mother gasped as she saw Y/n in her dress.
Y/n smiled at her mother and father, but her smile faded as she noticed Tommy standing by the doorway.
“Hi.” Y/n said shortly and Tommy smiled, “You look absolutely stunning.” he said as he smoothed out his all white suit.
“Thank you.” she said and Tommy looked at her parents. “I’ll have her home by 12:00 pm.!” he laughed and tried to grab Y/n by her arm but she quickly pulled away.
They walked to his car and he opened the doors for her, “Here you go, princess.” he said and Y/n nodded her head and got in without a word.
Tommy closed the doors and got into the driver's seat and began to drive towards the school.
Once they arrived, they saw how many cars were parked and they finlay found the free parking spot. Once they got into the decorated gym, all eyes fell onto them.
Y/n’s stomach flipped and twisted with anxiety as she tried to smile but she was just too nervous.
“Can I please get a loud applause for Tommy Williams and his absolutely stunning prom date!?” The singer on the stage shouted and everyone started to clap as Tommy and Y/ walked down the stairs and reached the podium.
“Alright everybody! Grab your date and rush to the podium! The dance is about to begin!” The guy shouted and everyone cheered as they rushed to the dance podim.
Tommy grabbed Y/n by her hand and rushed her to where the rest of the students were dancing.
Y/n didn’t even have time to react to what was happening and now she was trying to keep up with Tommy’s frantic moves.
And so few songs passed and she probably stumbled over her heels about a hundred times.
Finally, a more calming song started to play, and everyone slowed down. Tommy grabbed Y/n by her waist and brought her up closer.
“Ah… You see, darling. It isn’t so bad, right?” Tommy laughed as he spun her around and Y/n only rolled her eyes.
After a few moments, she heard the doors open and she looked up and low and behold, there stood one and only…
Jotaro Kujo
She almost gasped as she felt her heart skip a beat as she noticed him looking at her. Tommy, noticing the arrival of Jotaro grumbled as he grabbed Y/n’s chin towards him, “Focus here, darling.” he seethed as he motioned towards his face and Y/n only nodded her head.
She saw Jotaro walk towards Kakyoin, Michael and Dean who gasped in surprise and hugged him.
They probably didn’t expect him to show up, just like she did. As the song finally ended she tore herself from Tommy.
“I’m going to go grab a drink.” she said as she rushed to the table with drinks and food. She grabbed a plastic cup and filled it up with red punch and drank it hurriedly. She placed the cup back onto the table.
She scanned the crowded gym and noticed Jotaro on the other side of the gym, already looking at her.
Her heart skipped a beat and her cheeks heated up. She thought he would look away, but to her surprise, he started to walk towards her.
Y/n looked around and noticed Tommy nowhere in sight. As Jotaro came more and more near her, her heart started to race much faster.
Once he was finally in front of her, she looked into his eyes, despite being extremely nervous.
“Hi…” she whispered to Jotaro, not expecting him to say anything. “Hi.” he said shortly as he looked at her.
Why did he even do this? This was such a stupid decidon…
He slowly outstretched his hand but quickly retreated it. After a few silent moments he tried to again and this time, he took her hand and gently held it.
“... Will you… dance with me…?” Jotaro muttered out and Y/n’s head shot up and her eyes widened.
“I… Sure…” Y/n replied as she gulped down. By now, her heart would have exploded.
Jotaro’s blank expression didn’t change as he led her to the dance podium. They got a few weird stares, but they were too busy to even notice them.
But just as they reached the center of the podium, it dawned on him.
He didn’t know how to dance
“I… don’t know how to-” Jotaro said as he tried to compose himself and Y/n laughed, “No worries, JoJo! It’s quite simple.” she chuckled, much more relaxed.
She grabbed his hand and put it around her waist and put one of their hands in the air.
“I’m a bit rusty myself, but I think we’ll manage.” Y/n said and Jotaro nodded his head. As he looked away from her, he noticed Kakyoin, Michael and Dean cheering and laughing.
“Go Jotaro! You’ve got this!” Michael hollered as he swung his drink in the ear, clearly drunk. Kakyoin smiled warmly and showed him thumbs up and Dean kept chanting, “Go JoJo!”.
Jotaro smiled a little and focused on Y/n. They danced quite slowly, just so Jotaro kept track of the dance moves.
Y/n smiled as she looked him into his eyes and Jotaro smiled in her direction.
They danced for a few more minutes and just as the new song was going to start, Jotaro felt a strong grip on his shoulder.
“Jotaro Kujo… Always… needing to ruin shit for me.” Tommy said as he yanked him back. His cheeks were red, his hair was quite disheveled and his speech was quite slurred.
Now it was obvious he went to drink alcohol with his friends.
“Me? How about I ruin that face of yours with my fists.” Jotaro sneered and Tommy scoffed as he tried to keep up his balance.
Y/n froze in her tracks as she noticed that the other students stopped dancing and looked in their direction.
Tommy laughed as he fumbled with his words for a few seconds, “Y-You’re always no bark and no bite, Jotaro.
Now if you will excuse me, me and my date have an unfinished dance to complete.” Tommy said as he went to grab Y/n but Jotaro grabbed his wrist and squeezed it with his hand.
The students gasped as Tommy hollered in pain and tore his wrist away from Jotaro. “This is it you nasty greaser!” Tommy shouted as he went to punch Jotaro, but he was met with Jotaro’s fist in his face.
Y/n, including everyone else, gasped in horror as Tommy flew a meter away from them and held his probably broken nose.
Blood dripped between his fingers and onto his white suit.
“You… You piece of shit! Look at what you did to my suit!” Tommy screeched out as he frantically got up but he lost his balance and fell onto the floor, but this time, one of his teeth slid close to Y/n’s shoe, which left a slight bloody trail.
Few quiet moments passed, and all of a sudden everyone started to cheer and laugh, applauding Jotaro for knocking down Tommy.
Y/n’s eyes widened in disgust as she looked at Jotaro who quickly turned to her and grabbed her hand and ran off to the exit. They ran through the exit and onto the huge parking lot.
“What- WHAT WAS THAT!? ” Y/n exclaimed in horror as she looked at Jotaro who only exhaled.
“I… I don’t know what came over me…” Jotaro muttered as he ran a hand down his face.
“I… Holy shit. I don’t know what to say except, good riddance.” Y/n said as she sighed. Jotaro nodded his head as he grabbed her hand once again and started to walk down the parking lot.
“Where are we going?” Y/n asked and Jotaro motioned towards his car.
“I’ll show you, but don’t be annoying, alright?” he asked and Y/n nodded her head, “Whatever you say, JoJo.” she replied as they sat inside his car and drove off.
They drove further from the bustling West side to a quiet and moonlit meadow. Jotaro stopped his car and exited, and Y/n followed suit, but neither closed the doors.
“It looks absolutely beautiful…” Y/n whispered as she looked around the flower filled meadow. Jotaro nodded his head as he walked towards Y/n and stood next to her.
“You know-” he went on to say but was interrupted by his car's radio starting to play.
As the melody became clear, he immediately recognised the song, it was Elvis Presley’s Can't Help Falling in Love.
…Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you?
Jotaro softly grabbed Y/n’s hand and the other one he slowly wrapped around her waist, bringing her closer.
“Since we didn’t get to finish our dance earlier, I thought we could try here…” he whispered and Y/n blushed at his actions, but she certainly didn’t complain.
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
“You seem to remember the steps quite well, JoJo.” Y/n laughed softly and suddenly Jotaro twirled her and brought her closer to his chest.
“I’m glad to hear that, Y/n.” Jotaro muttered as they continued to dance to the song on the radio.
They softly swayed to the song until they stopped. Jotaro looked at Y/n as the moonlight reflected into her e/c eyes.
He placed his one hand on her cheek and brought her face closer to his.
Y/n nervously trembled as she felt his breath against her lips. After a few moments, she grabbed him by the collar and kissed him. Jotaro’s eyes widened as he wanted to gasp, but he melted into the kiss.
Once they moved away from each other, Y/n softly smiled as she laid her head on his chest and Jotaro wrapped his arms around her waist as they continued to listen to the song as they looked at the moon.
