The sun was just peeking through the windows as it seems like the storm was finally over. Joelle was soundly asleep after what happened the previous night however she did not realize who was laying next to her... she heard a voice call out to her , but regardless she felt like she didn't want to wake up .. her body still felt rather weak from last night's heavy cold that she caught , the voice continued to whisper to her to wake up as she just muttered something quietly under her breath. She heard a quiet growl until she felt something getting closer and closer to her face , she felt a light breath against her lips until the small space that separated the person's lips and her own was closed fully. Joe felt something very warm against her lips and without thinking she instinctively leaned closer towards the source pressing her lips further against it giving it a light peck thinking it's a dream , until she felt the source that kissed her earlier do it again a few more times , but this time Joe began to slowly open her eyes , her vision was still blurry for a short moment when it finally cleared more , she noticed someone laying right beside her for a moment she thought she was seeing things , but the more her vision began to catch on the facial features of the figure laying on her other side , the purple-haired woman finally recognized who it was.. It was Dio?!?! Joe felt herself shoot up , surprised by who was laying next to her. She just shot him the most weirded out expression ever. Dio just sighed before he adjusted himself and brought his arms behind his head resting them there as he would close one eyes and look over at the freaked out purple-haired woman right on his side.
->"What are you so worked up about?"
He began , acting as if he didn't know what happened. Joe blinked a few times holding onto the blanket they were covered in.
->" What did... how did ...? What are you doing here?! "
She finally brought up the question , since she wanted to know the reason why he was laying in her bed. Dio just lift an eyebrow , as he opened his other eye and had his attention fully on her.
->" You mean to tell me you don't remember a thing of what happened last night? Seems like you were pretty bad then huh..? "
He thought aloud as the tension that Joelle had earlier eased a bit as she finally relaxed . A small frown appeared on her face as she just stared down at the blonde that was laying on her bed , looking so calm.
->"I... I don't...."
She glanced to the side looking a bit ashamed , she really didn't recall upon what happened the previous night because it all seemed to be a blur to her . Dio brought his hand over the locks of hair that were in his face , pushing them up .
->" You came back home soaked from the heavy rain that was pouring outside and on top of that you were running to get home faster , which made it even worse since that triggered your cold further. Your body was as cold as ice when you entered the mansion , you were shaking like crazy to the point where you almost were going to faint , you caught a really bad fever. "
Dio explained.
->" There was no one in the mansion since the Joestars left to go visit some family or whatever and I was the only one around . I helped you to your room and also helped you get out of the your soaked clothes since they were only going to make it worse ... I had to check up on you every 30 minutes because your fever was getting worse and worse and on top of that , you seemed to be rather terrified of the thunder storm that was happening outside , since you came up to me shaking and asked me to stay in your room a little longer . I just sat on your bed and read some books until you grabbed a hold of my hand mumbling all this weird shid ... "
Perhaps Dio wouldn't straight forward admit it , but maybe he just felt worried upon seeing her in this kind of condition , she looked so afraid... so scared ... he could of just left her to deal with it on her own until the Joestars came back from their trip... but something in Dio just ... he just couldn't allow it. A small sigh
left his lips as he adjusted himself again.
->" I brought you some stuff to calm down your fever and wrapped some extra blankets around you since you were shaking so much , but of course you kept wiggling out of it so I had to keep it in place... plus you were crying so much ... so I just wrapped my arms around you to try and calm you down , until after a few hours you finally fell asleep. Your fever began to slowly calm down since you stopped shaking and managed to breathe normally without coughing so much. I was going to leave but you just clung to me and asked me to stay a little longer... so I did until I found myself asleep as well. "
He explained further upon what happened yesterday.
->"I woke up before you to make sure you're still breathing and it seemed like the medicine I gave you yesterday worked because your fever was completely gone , but there was also the fact that you were still clinging to me very tightly and didn't let go. So I stayed a little longer until I began to call to you to wake you up. "
Dio huffed as he sat up on the bed .
->" Then why... why did you... why did you kiss me...? "
Joe felt her cheeks flush bright pink at the thought of that , as she just kept looking away as Dio darted his gaze towards her , the small frown remained on his face , as he leaned over to the side grabbing a hold of Joelle's wrist pushing her down as he was now towering over her , as his golden locks fell to each of his sides , his hazel eyes met with her browns ones.
->"Why did you kiss me back?..."
He asked as he noticed the shade on her face change to a darker shade of red as she seemed to be speechless right now , Joe just looked away avoiding any sort of eye contact with him since she couldn't dare to look up at him , until she felt the light touch of his fingers over her hand before they traveled all the way over to the side of her cheek gently cupping it. For someone who could be rather brutal and was usually fighting a lot... Dio's touch was rather... gentle and soft... she began to feel rather anxious since she felt like she was going to 'owe' him something because that was just the way he was , but he didn't say a word... his eyes were so warm ... his expression was so calm... it almost felt like she was looking up at a different person , she felt how he began to tangle playfully little locks of her hair around his fingers with the hand that was still on her cheek . His face began to slowly move down , as he began to lean down closer and closer towards the purple-haired woman's face. Joe felt like her heart was about to burst out of her chest the moment his face began to get closer and closer to her own, until he tilted his head a bit to the side , pressing his lips against hers once more. Joe's eyes widened as she felt her face explode red , until she relaxed a bit and just closed her eyes , fully giving in into the small moment , giving him a kiss back before he parted to catch his breath.
->"Why'd you..."
She began.
->"I was just checking your temperature , you seem to be fine now."
He teased , obviously that wasn't what he was clearly doing , Joe just frowned and looked away as she brought the cover over her face to hide behind it.
->"That's not how you do it..!!!"
She complained as her shaky words could be sensed in her tone.
->"How would you know...~?"
A small smirk formed on his face as he was about to get up from the bed before he felt something grab his hand... it was Joelle's. He darted his attention towards her as she was still hiding in the covers.
->"Thank you... Dio..."
She finally said it , the blonde just smiled softly as he looked away for a moment before what she said next surprised him completely.
->"...Could you... stay a little longer...?"
She said shily as Dio let out a small chuckle.
->"You are just hopeless..."
Dio took a moment to adjust himself as he laid down next to her , by the looks of it she was not going get out of the blankets soon , so he just got himself closer and wrapped his arms around the figure that was hidden in the blankets . Joe took a while longer until she
finally uncovered a bit of her face , leaning forward resting her forehead on his chest as Dio instinctively just brought his chin to rest on top of her head as he closed his eyes and decided to stay a little bit longer.
'Why did he... why did I......?'
The question was going to haunt Joelle for a long long time...
💕 Your two top fave fictional characters: Oh. Em. Geee. This one is a hard one. But, ever since I was first introduced to Sir Sam Vimes of the City Watch of Ankh-Morpork. Feet of Clay was my first foray into Discworld and Terry Pratchett’s writing and Sam Vimes--and there has been NO looking back. I absolutely love his character growth and changes throughout the novels that he is featured in. Each time I reread a book involving him, or realize I haven’t read one of his and then pick it up.. I fall in love all over with him again. Y’all, everyone should read Discworld. THe end.
My other is... oh fudge.
Moist von Lipwig, another one from Discworld. He’s just... incredible and such a fun character to read. This one is a tough one because SOMETIMES he hops over Vimes for me, but not very often and usually Vimes stays number one. Also, and I am way into Mr. Jack Zimmermann at the moment but consistently, it is usually Moist and Vimes as my top fave.
🌼 Fave flower: Y’all, I used to work at a greenhouse and I really do not have a favorite flower. FOR SHAME ON ME. But, hmm... I do like snap dragons and do coleus count? I find them really awesome looking. And this is probably going to sound even weirder... but uh they always just kind of remind me of dinosaurs? I have no idea but I associate dinosaurs with them and that is cool to me.
If anyone else wants to ask me anymore of these, check ‘em out :D
(( i almost didn’t see the + there, if that was wrong, and you didn’t want the roles reversed just send a message again))
♣ = discovering them crying (+ discovering me crying)
depending on the type of crying that is going on he will have different reactions
If he is crying because he is in physical pain, he would let Germany come closer and help him, because he knows he can help him
however
If Germany found him crying when he was emotionally down, he would avoid directly answering any questions Germany gives him, might even snap at him like “Stop asking! I’m just sad okay!” if Germany would leave Italy would tug at his shirt and ask in a soft voice “s-sorry..can..can we hug…just a little while?” If Germany agrees they hug for a while, When they stop, Italy would apologise again, but not tell just yet what he was crying about, maybe later, keyword, maybe

Small acts of care and a lot of arguing xD. Followed by a lot of teasing from his side , cause he would never let anything down so easily hahaha. But really , not much words and more actions . Chiyu is very expressive , however when it comes to Shuji she'd tone it down in a sense , because really she is just uncertain of her feelings or any at all towards him. (This is all AU Snow Angel universe talk xD. In canon I don't think she would really dare to approach him lol. ) - Cards
