“STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!” you cried out desperately as you stood above Risotto’s fatally wounded form, just as 4 people arrived at the scene.
“Y/N...Run away...” he coughed some blood on the ground, trying - and failing - to get up.
“Don’t move, Risotto! You’re only going to injure yourself more. Let me handle this, the way it should have been done from the very beginning!” you growled in anger and pent-up frustration.
“I’ve...Never heard you scream before. Y/N, this is Buccellati’s gang, the one we’ve been fighting.” Riz explained, which only made you grit your teeth.
“You’ve been fighting for nothing! Buccellati, you were sent to bring Trish back to the Boss...So why are you here, running away? That only means you’ve betrayed the Boss for some reason! And if you’ve betrayed the Boss, it means we’re on the same side! The enemy of my enemy is my friend, isn’t that the saying?” you asked, trying to find a way to negotiate.
“We’ve been trying to take over the Mafia.” the blond boy spoke up. “Saving Trish was our way of trying to find out and dethrone the Boss.” he explained simply.
“La Squadra Esecuzioni was trying to steal Trish away to find out the Boss’ identity. You both have been killing each other while trying to achieve the same goal. Don’t you get it?! You could’ve worked together! Have a temporary truce, at least! This could’ve all been avoided if only we communicated in some way! The Boss manipulated the both of us to kill each other so he’d get rid of anyone who’d try to find out who he is!” you tried to reason, feeling tears fall down your cheeks.
“How could you benefit us, then? The only one still standing in La Squadra is you, Risotto. The Capo.” Buccellati asked in a firm tone.
“Capo? Capo over what?! Over ashes?! We were La Squadra! We were a family! And now they’re all gone! Because of that fucking monster! Risotto can’t be Capo anymore because he has nobody to lead!” you stomped the ground in anger. “But, Buccellati, if you promise to let us run away from this place, I can help you find out who the Boss is! Instead of making that guy down there try to see how the boss looked so many years ago...Get him here and make him find out what happened in Risotto’s fight, since he almost killed the Boss!” you cried out as a group of multiple gasps was heard.
“You...Fought the Boss...?” the shorter one stared in shock.
“Bring Abbacchio here.” Buccellati told the guy with the hat, and he did as ordered.
“I was hiding behind those rocks so he wouldn’t see me, but I saw all the fight going on. That guy had pink hair, just like Trish. And he has trying to hide a photograph desperately. His Stand is very dangerous...I can’t tell what it is though...” you got into detail, telling them everything you found out, as Abbacchio used his Stand to discover the person who attacked Riz, only for him to speak.
“It’s as if he could predict some of my moves. I don’t know what it was, but be cautious when fighting him, you won’t get him so easily.” Riz finally explained what happened, getting in a sitting position. “I can’t fight anymore and I’d only get in your way if I were to come help you out, but if I could, I would. The Boss took my whole Squadra away from me, and I will never forgive him for that. However, I’m going to keep on living, at least for Y/N’s sake, and by the time I get home, I hope I’ll hear of Buccellati’s gang’s victory.” he closed his eyes solemnly for a while, before pushing himself to stand up.
“Very well. We thank you for your cooperation and we are thankful that you willingly stepped on your pride to give us information, so you could protect your lover. Down the road, there was a car. You can take it to go away, to safety.” Buccellati gave you his blessing to get the hell away from there.
You helped Risotto stand up and you both rushed down the road as fast as you could, and put him in the passenger’s seat, and standing there, looking at him, you could feel a few tears prickling at your eyes, seeing him in such a pitiful state.
“Don’t...Ever, in your life, do that again.” you muttered, biting your lip.
“I’m sorry, Y/N. We’re in the Mafia, and I, of all people, was the Capo of La Squadra Esecuzioni. I should have been the first to easily accept death...But seeing you here today...I just can’t accept not seeing you again. I can’t accept you shedding tears over someone like me. You’re my angel, and even though I don’t deserve to have an angel’s love, I will be selfish and live.” Risotto’s low voice echoed, as he reached out his hand to touch your cheek and wipe away the stray tears streaming your skin.
“Don’t ever say that again, please, and don’t even think about leaving me alone.” you whispered, planting a soft kiss on his lips, afraid that he’ll break. “Now, let’s go home and get you fixed up. I’ve done enough worrying for one day. Let others deal with this problem...For now, I’m not letting you out of my sight ever again.” you chuckled weakly, before getting in the driver’s seat and drove home.

Caesar Zeppeli
As soon as Caesar got pissed off at Joseph for insulting his family, he ran away to defeat Wham, which got both the boy and Lisa Lisa worried and went looking for him.
You, however, got worried for him and decided to run off after him almost as soon as you saw him closing the gate, and fearing about his feelings getting hurt and potentially getting in trouble, you traced his steps in the snow, getting in front of a ruined building that looked like an abandoned cathedral.
You were reluctant to get inside, afraid of potentially getting killed, but all your worries went down the drain once you heard groans of pain and agony from inside, and now a much bigger dread came over you.
As soon as you burst inside the place, and you saw Caesar on his knees, bloody and bruised from top to bottom.
Seeing your lover in such a pitiful state only made you go insane with rage, so much that you leaped over, punching the enemy with the most powerful Hamon you could manage, making him fly through the wall behind him, giving you enough time to get Caesar and take him out of there, thankfully meeting Lisa Lisa and Joseph just outside the place.
“Y/N! What happened?!” Joseph yelled, getting over to you, helping you carry a barely conscious Caesar.
“It’s one of those Pillar Men, he’s inside. I managed to get him away from us so I could rescue Caesar, but I’m not sure how long it will keep him there.” you explained, biting your lip in worry.
“Can you get him home by yourself? I and Joseph will deal with the enemy, so don’t worry about us or getting tailed by the enemy.” Lisa Lisa put her hand on your shoulder as a way to calm you down.
“Yeah, I can manage on my own, but please, both of you, be very careful there. If that guy alone could get Caesar in this state...Who knows what more could happen.” you sighed, giving them a pleading look to be careful.
“We’ll take care of those bastards, Y/N. Now go take care of Caesarino here, we’ll be juuuuust fine!” Joseph gave us a wink and you started dragging the blond boy back to the house, where you got him in bed and tended to his wounds carefully.
It took a few hours for him to properly regain his conscience, and the first thing he saw as he woke up was the beautiful shade of your eyes.
“Y/N...? What happened?” his voice was rather weak, but he managed to get in a sitting position by himself.
“Well...Joseph and Lisa Lisa are fighting Wham, I believe. I got you out of there before things would get worse...Damn it, Caesar, you really worried me. Going off on your own like that...And seeing you almost dead...You’re really gonna give me nightmares.” you sighed, your gaze shifting away.
“I...I acted pretty rash, didn’t I? I was stupid, I know...That stupid Joseph pissed me off, I was feeling pressured and...I guess it was too much for me. I messed up.” he nodded, taking your hand in his, kissing every knuckle. “Thank you for saving me, amore mio...And I’m sorry for worrying you so much. I’m sorry for making you go through all the trouble of saving me.” he signaled for you to get closer to him.
“I’m not mad at you, darling. I’m just happy that I got there in time to save you. Nothing else matters, right? You’re alive, you’re in no critical condition and JoJo and Lisa Lisa are going to defeat that jerk.” you sighed in relief, as he put you into his chest, kissing the top of your head.
“I promise I won’t be a stubborn jerk and I won’t worry you again. I promise you, mi tesoro, that as soon as this whole mess with the Pillar Men is over, I will marry you and I will take you to see the world and I will make you the happiest person in the world.” he kissed your lips, gently caressing your face and gazing into your eyes with so much love.
“I would love that. I really would.” you smiled tenderly at him, sharing yet another passionate kiss, enjoying the peace and quiet of the room.

Abbacchio Leone
You were on the beach, waiting between the space where Abbacchio was using Moody Blues to find out the Boss’ identity, while the others were up the cliff, checking out what Narancia’s Aerosmith found and attacked on its radar.
You kept looking around with your Stand, trying to make sure nobody will attack, when you notice a bunch of kids playing around with their ball, until it got stuck in a high place and couldn’t get it.
You watched your grumpy boyfriend go over and help them out, despite how annoyed he was, but it didn’t matter, he looked adorable, towering over a bunch of giggly kids.
That is...Until you blinked and a hole suddenly appear in his torso, which made you cry out his name, rushing to his side, catching him just as he was about to fall and helping him down on the stone that was surrounded by beautiful white flowers, as pure as his soul.
Thanking everything in your life that your Stand was capable of healing, you started your work on the man that lay helplessly in your arms, as you heard frantic footsteps coming your way.
On further inspection, you realised it was the gang, so you relaxed a bit, focusing on saving him.
“Leone, baby, my dearest, my darling, please, I beg of you, don’t close your eyes. I’m here now. Please, sweetling, stay with me.” you felt tears of desperation and anguish rapidly streaming down your face as you kept using your Stand to heal your beloved, while he kept looking at you with a tired expression.
“I’m...Sorry.” he groaned in pain, not only from the grave injury, but from the painful healing method too.
“Y/N! Y/N, please, please don’t let Abbacchio die! You can’t let him die!” Narancia cried, shaking you whilst he was hugging you.
“Narancia, stop bothering them while they’re healing Abbacchio. They need to concentrate. Come on, let’s go away and give them some space.” Bruno pried away the kid from your side, letting you alone with your paramour.
“Did you find out who did it...?” he managed to croak out, making you shake your head.
“No...Not yet, amore, but we will, I promise. We will get revenge for what he did to you, I vow you that. But for now, please, don’t force yourself to talk or anything...You’re already in so much pain...I-I can’t bear seeing you like this.” you spoke out through your tears, which made him let out an exhausted chuckle.
“Almost dying makes me want to tell you so many things...So many that I’ve been afraid to say, that I’ve been to afraid to even feel...” he spoke, realising that he regained some of his strength.
“You can tell me anything you want as soon as we get home, mi tesoro. We WILL get home, I promise you that. You will be be okay in no time.” you move the hair from his face, looking at him tenderly.
“We gotta help Buccellati...” he closed his eyes for a few seconds, before opening them again.
“We can deal with that later. You already did your job and we’re so very close to finding the Boss. You managed to show the gang how the Boss looks...I’m sure they can deal with the rest by themselves. I’m sure Buccellati will understand the situation...Please, Abba, I really don’t want to see you in this state ever again. You have no idea what I’m feeling seeing you this way.” you frown, holding him close to your chest, stroking his hair.
“I can’t imagine what would a peaceful life be like, but as long as I have you by my side, I won’t care about anything else in the world.” he sighed, almost content.
“After we defeat the Boss, everything will be okay. You know that Buccellati will make the Mafia a better and more moral place, just as it should be. And nobody’s gonna bother us again. We can spend all day making fun of Narancia...And Giorno...And at night we can look at the stars, at the beach, with out feet in the water and drink wine and...And we will be happy.” you kissed his temple gently, making him lean in your touch.
“Hah...Yeah...I wanna see that little blond brat drink my piss again.” he chuckled weakly, taking my hand in his.
“Oh, come on, you’re incredible.” you chuckled at how petty your boyfriend was.
“Nah, darling, I’m just a good for nothing, average guy. You’re the incredible one here.” he retorted, feeling strong enough to steal a kiss.

Kishibe Rohan
You cursed yourself when you found out from Koichi, who used Echoes to find out Rohan’s location, that the man was being attacked by Kira’s Sheer Heart Attack and had no way of using Heaven’s door to protect himself, so you started running in that direction, leaving the silver haired boy greatly behind, only to see your green haired boyfriend trying his best to escape from the bomb.
You and Koichi encountered it before, when you were searching together with Jotaro, so you got the gist of how to avert its attention to you, so it will leave him alone.
Since your body was already heated up from the running, the stupid little bomb started following you, instead of focusing on Rohan.
The problem is...That you didn’t really have a proper plan, other than making sure Rohan’s okay, so now your were stuck running through the darker alleys of the city, hoping not to run into any innocent citizen and get collateral damage.
Last time, Koichi used his Act 3 Echoes to stop the bomb...But that was it, it was merely stopped, not defeated. Now, you wonder...Okuyasu’s Stand COULD make it go into some weird, different dimension, right? So all you gotta do is get him around!
“Y/N, you idiot, what the hell were you thinking?!” Rohan’s pissed off voice echoed through the place as he ran to me.
“Rescuing you, of course!" you chuckled, grabbing his hand and running to Koichi.
“Oh, really? Rescuing me? How, getting yourself killed?!” he sneered in annoyance.
“Didn’t get enough time to think of a plan, but I’ve got something! Koichi, use Echoes on the bomb! There’s a payphone, so we’ll call Okuyasu to get here and make this thing disappear with his Stand.” you quickly explained the plan, making the silver haired boy gasp in realisation.
“You’re right, that could work! Echoes, Act 3! Freeze attack!” he says, making the bomb sink into the pavement, as you quickly ran to the payphone and thankfully managed to get a hold of Okuyasu, getting him to run to your location pretty fast.
The whole ordeal was solved pretty fast, but you were still left with a bitter taste since nobody had any idea where Kira was, how he managed to find Rohan alone and attack him...And there were still so many more questions left unanswered.
“You absolute chaotic mess! You complete dumbass! What the hell was in your head, even?! NOTHING! That’s what it was! Nothing, with a capital N!” Rohan sighed in aggravation as soon as the 2 of you were left alone.
“Sorry for panicking and wanting to make sure you were okay?” you replied, unsure of what to say.
“That’s not the issue! You could have died, going all Leeroy Jenkins like that! What would I have done if you died for me? Huh? Tell me!” he seemed to tremble with all sorts of emotions.
“Rohan...Look, babe, I’m sorry for worrying you, but what would I have done if you were to die and I did nothing?” you asked, crossing your arms with a pout.
“Okay, okay...I’m calm now. I’m calm. Good. So, let’s make this clear. We’re not heroes, so let’s not act like heroes. Now, let’s go home. My manga isn’t gonna get drawn itself, is it?” he blushed slightly, grabbing your hand and dragging you back home.
“Oh, really? You have inspiration?” you grinned at him, trying to keep walking at his face.
“Well, of course I have! I bet everyone will love to see the protagonist get saved from death by his reckless lover by going on a suicide-mission. I’m really curious to hear what everyone’s opinion on the lover is, since honestly, I feel like killing you myself, then bringing you back to life to kiss you until you can’t breath.” he stopped suddenly, turning to look at you with an unreadable expression.
“Can we skip the killing part to get to the kissing? I’d like that very much.” you grinned, holding his other hand too.
“Fine, have it your way, then.” he smirked, before cupping your face and kissing you passionately, not caring if there were any passer-bys around.
