A/N: I'm backk heh heh... 😅 life is crazy but here is the next chapter!

↞ to The Water's Cold Embrace Masterlist | Request Rules | Blog Navigation ↠

The whole morning had been tense. The air was too tight as you and Vander tiptoed around each other. Vander--he was being cautious around you and you could feel it. See it as he hardly spoke a word your way.

It tore at your heart in a way you hadn’t experienced before. He was family--your brother and he was shutting you out.

Silco, though, hadn’t left your side since you woke up. He helped you up from your spot on the floor, had cleaned the wounds he hadn’t been able to get at while you had been out, and had made sure you got something for the pain coursing through your body. He even helped you into the bathroom so you could piss…though there had been a short argument about him wanting to stay in the bathroom with you. You had been quick to shut that down cause you didn’t really want him hearing any of the bodily movements you needed to make.

He waited outside of the bathroom and was back by your side when you reappeared.

One might think his consistent presence and need to grab things for you would get annoying, but you found yourself enjoying it very much. No one had ever taken this much care with you. Silco himself hadn’t even gone to this level of care before…though perhaps that had a lot to do with you being a bit prickly at times when it came to someone caring for you.

Regardless of your past prickliness and Silco’s mother henning, you found you needed it. Needed it to distract you from the tenseness between Vander and you. Needed it to distract you from that strange numbness just simmering in the background--curled up like some slumbering sea beast in your chest--resting up till it could drink its fill of blood again.

You didn’t want to think about it--what it had done just last night. Didn’t want to think about how your fingers ached to command its hollow power once more so you scooted your chair even closer to Silco’s at the dining table.

You moved your hand beneath the table to rest it on Silco’s thigh--to feel him further and to know he was still there with you. Silco was quick to move his hand from where it rested on top of the table to grab hold of yours, giving it a tight squeeze.

“I cannot leave Nadia alone longer than I have,” Nikolai stressed, true fear in his eyes, from where he sat next to Vander. His friend stood then, giving Nikolai a supportive pat on the shoulder before excusing himself. You all knew he was already risking too much in harboring you four in his home, so in some maybe misled hope, having him not hear of any plans might keep him from trouble. “So how will we make it back across if there is such a blockage? If the Enforcers know you have escaped here? They will be looking for you three.”

Vander’s gray eyes were hard as they glanced over you on their way to Silco. You kept your gaze as calm as you could manage. You wouldn’t show him a speck of your hurt. Of your own fear.

“Is there any other way to get across the river without swimming or going across the bridge?” Vander asked his brother. Silco thought for a moment before giving a small shake of his head.

“We are truly segregated from the rest of the world with this blockade.” Silco began, hand tightening just a bit more around yours in his anger at Piltover. “That’s why I suggested the two of us come to retreive Nikolai alone.” You felt your skin run cold at his words. Words that would only bring up what you had done on the wharf.

Those hard eyes of Vander’s only grew thicker. More like the wolf prowling within him that wished to sink its teeth into something.

“We should continue with the plan we had set out with. She will bring us safely across the river--”

“No.” Vander sharply shut Silco down. Silco who grew eerily still. Dangerously so. He was pissed. More than pissed. You moved your hand around so you could thread your fingers between his. To try and tell him it was alright--that it was probably for the best…but you were just as mad. Just as frustrated with the man before you.

“No?” Silco repeated. “Then, do tell me, what do you suggest we do? Rot over here for the rest of our lives? Go across the bridge and get shot on sight?”

“Course not, but we agreed upon no killing. Not unless we had to and--”

“You think they sit around a table and all agree not to kill us?” Silco cut Vander off. “No. They shoot first and think nothing of it. That’s what happened at the bridge. What happened to Nadia.” Nikolai gave a shuddering intake of breath at the reminder of what had happened to his wife. “If we’re going to make it out of this alive, we’re going to need to start thinking like them. All of us.”

Silence fell over you all. A tense silence that made your gut clench.

“I--” You started, cutting that silence and instantly gaining Silco’s attention, no matter how pissed off he was. “I went too far. I don’t know what came over me.” Silco’s brows furrowed in utter disapproval at what you were saying. His mouth opened but before he could speak you stopped him with a small shake of the head.

“What I can do shouldn’t be used in that way. I know that now. It…it was outside of my realms limits.” You mimicked what Janna had told you within that strange space she’s dragged you to.

That numbness in your chest gave a stir. A stir that echoed like a mocking laugh at your words.

“You are right to be cautious. Forgive me.” You finished just as Vander’s eyes met yours. Hard eyes that softened a bit with each word you spoke. But even in their softened state, you could still see that fear lingering within their corners.

“It’s alright, sweetheart.” Vander gently said. He pulled an equally as gentle smile to his lips as if to keep you from seeing that slight distrust shining within him. “Just--what you can do…it’s all new to me, is all.” Silco pulled your hand further into his lap, as if he wished to tug you into him--keep you far from Vander and his judgments--but knew now wasn’t the time.

Poor Nikolai watched the whole interaction with confused curiosity, but knew better than to ask about it. Especially when Vander and Silco were angered at one another, something that happened so rarely, but had become more and more frequent over the past year.

You gave a small nod Vander's way as you spoke again, “What if we do go across the bridge?” The whole group looked at you like you’d lost your mind. “I could draw the enforcers on this side away from their post while you three sneak onto the bridge. You’ll take care of the enforcers on our side easy peasy and before they can recover take the trash shoot down. They won’t be able to follow you then.”

“Good plan except for the part where you give yourself up to the enforcers.” Silco said. His gaze told you he was going to disagree with this plan just because you would be going off on your own.

“Once you all are on the bridge, I’ll--” You glanced Nikolai's way, face scrunched in his utter confusion. “Do my thing. Not like before, just--normally. They’ll shit they’re pants and I’ll hop into the river and meet up with you guys later on.” Vander was quiet as he watched you. Quiet as he thought over what you were suggesting.

“Absolutely not.” Silco shot down. You narrowed your gaze up at him.

“You don’t think I can do it?” Silco held your furrowed gaze for a long moment.

“I know you can, but one surprise is all it takes to change the tides.” You leaned in a bit closer, Silco’s seafoam eyes flickering quickly towards your lips.

“I thought we agreed not to do this over ten years ago?” And though you were a bit frustrated at his denial of you going off on your own, you couldn’t help the slight tease that spilled from your lips. Silco sighed. “The “oh, but you’ll be in danger” shit.”

“Yes, we did, but things have changed.” Silco said. You raised a brow, a little smirk pulling to the corner of your lips.

“Oh? Really? I hadn’t noticed any change.”

And despite his rising anger at everything being discussed at the table, he teased you right back, “Do I need to show you how things have changed?” Silco leaned in just as you had, your heart giving a giddy little flutter.

“I don’t think it’s a horrible idea.” Vander spoke, turning Silco’s slight amusement right back into annoyance, his thin lips turning into a deep frown. Seafoam eyes cut back to his brother, who sat serious as ever across the way.

“So you’re fine with putting her directly in the way of harm, but are unwilling to put any of the rest of us in the same danger? Unwilling to send those damn Piltie’s to the grave, but are fine to send her right along?” Silco hissed slowly. The venom seeping into his words sent your skin bubbling with goosebumps--sent Nikolai’s eyes wide and head lower as if to keep himself far away from that venom's reach.

Vander only narrowed his eyes at his brother, the wolf within pulling to the surface.

“You know that’s not what I meant.”

“Do I?” Silco was quick to snap back. “Because ever since she showed--”

“I’m not going to fight you on things you believe to be true.” Vander replied before Silco could finish his thought. “It’s a good idea because of what she can do, not because of whatever nonsense you’re thinking.” The hand Silco kept on the table clenched into a fist. You could see within his cooling eye that cornered animal. That animal that would snap its teeth at anything and anyone that had it pushed far enough against a wall.

“Listen--let's just do what we had planned originally.” You quickly butt in, “We’ll go back under the river’s surface. I am more familiar with our shores. I’ll be able to find someplace that is unguarded by enforcers to surface.” You grabbed Silco’s balled fist as you spoke--as you tried to mediate the storm brewing between the brothers. “Either way is going to be heavily guarded, right? Especially since we escaped. They’ll be looking for us now. Ready.” You looked back to Silco, who was still staring that chilly glare Vander’s way. You gave his fist a tight squeeze. “Right?”

Silco didn’t peel his eyes away from Vander as he responded, “Right.”

You glanced at Nikolai for support, but he looked just as helpless as you felt in this situation.

“Would that be a problem, Vander?” You asked, Vander having yet to look away from Silco either. You hoped he would do as he typically did. Hoped he would take the high road and try to back peddle out of the fight, but Vander just kept looking Silco’s way. “Vander.” You snapped, getting just as pissed off with both men.

“As long as you don’t let us drown, sweetheart,” The nickname only seemed to back Silco further into that imagined corner, his eyes bristling in further agitation. “No problem here.” You tried not to be hurt by his words. By the way his distrust in you still lingered, but you couldn’t help the small sting.

“Then we’re all in agreement. We’ll go across the river after nightfall.” You stood then, yanking at Silco’s hands to get him to stand with you. To get him to stop having such a heated staring contest with his brother.

“Eh--how do you plan on getting us across?” Nikolai asked in a small voice as if to try and not be heard by the two other men at the table. You tossed him a playful wink he grew bashful under.

“It’ll be a surprise.”

“I…don’t believe I like surprises.” He muttered as you finally got Silco to move.

“It’s one hell of a surprise.” Vander muttered right back and you had to physically restrain Silco from whipping around to glare at his brother all over again.

“I need to use the restroom.” You spoke, trying to get Silco away from his brother in hopes he’d cool down. “And my ribs still hurt so much ouch.” You mocked a painful wince. Silco finally met your gaze, that burning cold softening at the sight of you. With a warm smile you tugged him towards the bathroom.

He went to stand just outside the door as you had made him do early, but you never let go of his hand as you dragged him into the small space, locking the door behind him.

“What happened to being embarrassed of me hearing you piss?” Was the first thing out of Silco’s mouth because of course it was the first thing out of his mouth.

“I wasn’t embarrassed.” You huffed, turning to face Silco again. He wore a bemused look on his face.

“And me being here now is to prove that?”

“You being here now is so I can keep you from strangling Vander.” All amusement fell from Silco’s face and that cold, dangerous look flashed through his eyes.

“If he keeps chastising you for what you did I’ll do more than strangle him.” You gave a loose shrug at his words, though that hurt at Vander’s distrust echoed through your heart.

“He has a right to disapprove. What I did was--it wasn’t planned. It was overkill.” Silco moved in closer after you spoke. That hardness in his eyes only solidified further the longer he let his anger rage around in him.

“Overkill?” He scoffed on a shake of his head. “If you hadn’t passed out you would have seen true overkill done by that righteous bastard.” His voice raised a little too high for your liking, seeing as these walls were undoubtedly thin. You grabbed his arm and pulled him deeper into the small bathroom, a small shush on your lips to tell him to keep it down.

Silco let you pull him along. Let you sit him down on the toilet seat as he fumed so bad it looked like steam might billow out of his ears at any second.

“Silco--” You tried to soothe, but Silco was too heated as he looked up at you, venom filling his eyes.

“No. No, he’s a hypocrite.” He hissed in as low of a voice as he could manage in his riled up state. “Those gauntlets caved their skulls in--shattered them completely and yet he will deny you your pound of flesh? No. I can’t allow him to do that.” Silco grabbed your hips and pulled you between his spread legs. “Not to you.”

You sighed through your nose, but couldn’t help the fulfilling warmth that spread through your heart at what he was telling you--that he would defend you no matter what. Would defend you even against his own brother if it came down to it.

The pupil’s of his gray-blue eyes instantly dilated as you grabbed either side of his face. His furrowed brow and tensed shoulders eased as you let your thumbs caress his skin.

“Thank you.” You whispered, letting all that warmth in your heart and gratefulness shine through your own eyes for him to see.

“You don’t ever have to thank me for being on your side. Ever.” He gave a small shake of his head, the tips of his fingers pressing just a bit deeper into the flesh of your hips. “Especially since you saved us. We would be dead if you hadn’t stepped up.”

You thought back to that utter fear you had felt when those guns had been trained on Silco’s heart. When you thought he would be killed right before your eyes.

You thought of the hollowness that refused to leave you. Not fully.

You thought of Janna and of what she had told you.

“I…I need to tell you something.” Silco’s eyes grew serious at your changed demeanor.

“You know you can tell me anything.” You nodded. And then nodded again as you kept watching his eyes which were so ready to listen--so ready to understand and accept anything you told him.

“When I passed out, I--it was Janna. She came to me in--in some kind of dream or--it wasn’t a dream, it was real. She took me to some strange space.” Silco nodded as he listened, never once letting his eyes wander away from you. “And--she told me what I did was wrong. It wasn’t my power to control and--I think…I think I believe her.”

“Is there…a reason why you believe her? Your powers did it so how is it not for you to control?” You took one of Silco’s hands and placed it over your heart which beat rapidly.

“Because Vander is right to be scared of it. Because I’m scared of it. I feel it. It’s still lingering, right here,” You squeezed his hand over your heart, “like some parasite.” Silco watched you carefully. Watched you as he thought over and over what you were telling him. Thought of what to say about such a topic one very rarely came in contact with. “Silco, it doesn’t feel human.”

Silco’s hand moved from your heart to your neck to pull you even closer, “You’re human.” He said it like it was a fact. One he knew by heart.

“You asked me once. You told me I felt different.” Silco shook his head quickly.

“I shouldn’t have said that.”

“But you did and I do. I feel--I don’t think I’m human. Not after killing those enforcers in the way I did.” You could see Silco’s mind working a mile a minute, trying to think over everything. Trying to come up with a solution for you. A plan, just as he always did.

“Half of the undercity isn’t human. The Madam of that brothel we hid away in. She’s a yordle. There is vastaya. You could be part--”

“You know I don’t mean it that way.” You shook your head sullenly.

“You’re right because it’s as I told Vander. You’re a mage.” You saw that even he didn’t believe it. Could see he still felt what he had told you three years ago was true.

You were no mage, but just for now, you would play the part.

“You’re right.” You nodded, a weak smile pulling to your lips you could hardly hold. Not when that nothingness was never easing. “I’m…just as mage.” Silco did not look like he believed you. He looked like he wanted to redact everything he had said, but you placed a finger over his parting lips before he could do so. “We’ll just…leave it at that for now. I just wanted to tell you because…we’re seahorses.”

Silco smiled up at you. A smile that helped you keep that hollowness away. Helped you feel. Feel for him.

“That we are.” Silco tugged you gently downward to close the small gap that had been between you two. Lips found lips. Lips that melded into one another like melting ice. Lips that felt like they could because one the longer you breathed into their sweetness. “Let me say one last thing,” Silco murmured against your lips, pulling away the slightest bit.

You nuzzled your nose against his before pulling away just enough to look back into his eyes. You really wished you could just keep kissing him and leave your dooming situation behind, but just as you knew he would always listen to you, you would always listen to him.

“Okay.” You nodded, fingertips feeling over the line between his hair and skin. Silco held that unwavering acceptance in his eyes once more, the hand on your neck finding home against your cheek.

“I need you to know that I don’t care. I don’t care if you're human or not. If you're vastaya or part yordle,” He huffed a laugh at that last bit. A laugh you couldn’t help but mimic, even when your heart was racing so quickly in your chest. When it was feeling oh so full. He smiled warmly at you, brushing his fingers over the round of your cheek. “Maybe you're a mage, or maybe you’re something completely out of the scope of human comprehension, but regardless, you are perfect to me. I wouldn’t change a single thing about you.”

Your eyes started to sting then. At the words that were making you so--so happy. Words you knew to be true just from that look in his eyes. Such a--a loving look.

“You’re mine and I’m yours and that won’t change over the silly titles we place upon ourselves.” You nodded. And you nodded again in complete and utter agreement.

“Thank you.” You managed to get out past the emotion and tighten your throat. Silco shook his head, brushing his thumb under your eye so tenderly.

“I thought I said my support would come without the need for gratitude.” A smile bubbled at your lips at his continued sweet words.

“Then what am I supposed to say?” Silco’s lips pulled to match your own.

“Nothing at all.” You watched his face for a suspended moment. Looked over every sharp angle and delicate slope of his face. Took in just how soft his features grew while watching you.

You closed the small distance that lay between you two once more. Lips fit perfectly against one another. Lips you sighed into as he kissed you with such rhythmic piercion it made your legs feel all too weak.

Your hands moved from his cheeks to wrap your arms around his neck, trying to get him even closer. Silco was quick to respond, lips never once leaving yours as his hands grabbed your hips again. Never once faltered in their blood-singing dance as he gently tugged you downward to find perches on his lap.

His hands moved once more, traveling over your hips to rest on the small of your back. His fingers pressed firmly against your spine in silent command to move your body flush against his. To feel his strong chest against yours--to move hips so that your stomach was laying against his.

More, more, more your body begged as his hands roamed over your back, setting your skin on fire.

More, more, more it screamed as his fingers aimlessly grabbed at your shirt--clawing at it like he might rip it to shreds.

More it cried as your hands mindlessly began to move. As they dipped beneath the flaps of his jacket to roam over his shoulders--to uselessly try to shrug it off for him.

A knock at the door had you both freezing.

Panting breath was held as silence stretch on…and on…and--

“May I use the restroom…whenever you are finished, of course.” It was Nikolai’s accented voice that called faintly through the door. A voice that had Silco chuckling against the skin of your neck as you fumbled for the toilet handle.

“Yes! Sorry!” Lips littered kiss after kiss to your pulse, not helping your overly flustered state. You managed to flush the closed toilet you two sat on before calling back to Nikolai again, “Just finishing up!”

“He said he could wait, you know.” Silco murmured, placing one last kiss to your neck before leaning back.

“Yeah--for us to finish doing bathroom stuff. Not--” Silco raised a brow, looking all too mischievous.

“Not…? What were we doing?” You huffed, shoving off of him swiftly in an attempt to regain your composure.

“Asshole.”

hey there!!! You can call me 🏹anon! I was wondering if i could request a diego x fem reader about diego showing his soft side to reader and they end up cuddling? Thank you, i love your writing!

Hello, thank you for sending in this request but, seeing as my requests are closed and I haven't made it to Jjba part 7 yet, I don't feel I am the best person to answer this. Though your request is very cute!!!

With a quick search, I found some Jjba fic writers that may or may not be up to the task of fulfilling your request.

But please READ THEIR RULES and DOUBLE CHECK if their requests are OPEN!!

I love to take requests but when my request are closed it's because 1) I have many fics in my inbox I still need to write, 2) I am not taking new requests, and 3) I am probably not in the best place writing wise and writing for others is just not in the cards at that time.

And even if my requests were open, in my rules I state the few characters i am currently willing to write for and unfortunately Diego isn't one (in the future, I'm sure I will, but not at the moment)

I will put the blogs I found here for you to look through, but each one of them has a list of rules for requests that I beg you and everyone who requests fics to read over BEFORE requesting something!

Blogs I've found with open requests for Jjba: @1ovede1uxe , @adeadcreator, and @princelylove

again please look at their rules before requesting! Some might not do fluffy, some might not do smut, some might not do the character or fandom you want! It's just a quick read through of their masterpost !!

Good luck and I hope you have a good day/night!

Taglist: @cinnbar-bun @lostfirefly

A/N: I love him so yeah--I think it'll be fun to see how he changes in regards to touch during different parts! (Updated style to match more recent fics May. 12th, 2025. No words have been changed)

↞ to Jjba Masterlist | Request Rules | Blog Navigation ↠

This guy is a big walking warning sign that glares “Do Not Touch”

You’ll go to touch him for the first time and he’ll grab your wrist faster than you can blink, his teeth bared and eyes full of icy murder

“Touch me and I’ll break your goddamn hand.” (Sigh….so romantic)

No one touches him and you are included….for a time

You respect his boundaries

And you hold back your desire to touch him even when your fingers and heart itch to feel over his skin

But damn does he make it hard because why is he one of the clingiest assholes you’ve ever met?

He’ll grumble and huff and hiss at you to stop touching him

But then he’s got his hands on you like they might just be another part of him

Is his touch necessarily romantic in the typical sense?

Hell no

But he’ll be pushing you out of the way of danger or of someone not paying attention on the sidewalk

He’ll shove your head down in the heat of battle

He’ll wrap his body around you to shield you from harm

He’s grabbing your upper arm and guiding (pulling) you around

Grabbing the back of your neck to do the same thing

IF, and that’s a very big if, he grabs your hand it's gonna be a little too tight and it’s only going to happen so you don’t fall off a cliff or stumble into the road

He’ll brush his arm against yours, hands shoved into his jacket pockets, as you two walk side by side

You feel the chill of his fingers brush over yours as he passes you something

He is pretty much the decider on when the two of you touch

But he’ll allow you to pick his hat up during the rare moments it's knocked off

He’ll even let you put it back on (but if the other Crusaders are teasing him too much, his hat will be snatched from your hand and hand swatted away)

He lets you straighten his jacket and dust it off

He will grumble the whole time you do so

But guys he’s the biggest softy on the inside, it's a fact

And you know who the literal embodiment of his soul is?

Star Platinum

Expect Star Platinum to actually be the clingiest

like he beats Polnareff for the most sappy partner award

Star Platinum can almost always be found holding your hand, hugging you tight, and nuzzling his face into your neck

Get ready for kisses planted to your lips and cheeks and forehead from the Stand

Kisses you are unfortunately almost always knocked onto your ass by because the big guy doesn’t understand you can’t spot him as he’s whizzing up to you faster than any bullet

Platinum brings you little gifts he finds, holding your hands in his before revealing it to you

Jotaro hisses and snaps at his Stand to leave you the hell alone….but it doesn’t have any real bite to it

Because he can feel you through Platinum’s touches and it makes his stomach all fluttery like he’s some love-sick idiot

Jotaro watches as Star Platinum nuzzles your cheek with his nose, pulling a wonderful giggle from your lips. He grits his teeth in annoyance as he watches his Stand wrap his arms around your waist, pulling you off your feet like he’s an overgrown toddler.

It was embarrassing.

Jotaro had been able to gain complete and utter control over his Stand in the short time he appeared, yet here he was completely and utterly out of control of the damn thing.

Jotaro thanked whatever god might be floating around up there that none of the other Crusaders were around to witness another one of Platinum's disturbances. To watch you run a hand over Platinum’s cheek and nuzzle him right back.

Touches Joatro could feel ghosted over his skin. Touches he was growing more and more pissed off were being gifted to his fucking Stand.

The line in the sand was when your lips pressed an overly, smooching kiss to Platinum’s cheek. It sent Jotaro into an angered frenzy.

He stormed over, grabbing you a little too roughly out of Platinum’s grip and all but wrestling the damn thing to disappear back into himself.

“Jotaro--he wasn’t doing anything--”

“Would you shut the hell up?” He hissed, grabbing your cheeks in his hand and forcing you to look up at him. You felt your breath halt in your throat at the beauty of Joatro's face. A beauty that only was amplified by his sharp, green eyes bearing down into you. “Platinum needs to learn some fucking manners.” And then he was letting you go. The absence of his strong hold and presence left you feeling a little disappointed, but you only smiled Joatro’s way teasingly.

“Oh…I see.” You murmured, crossing your arms behind your back as you turned on your heels, starting for the location where you were meant to meet the others. Joatro was quiet as you walked. Quiet until he was grabbing your upper arm and pulling you to a stop in a way that made your heart begin to flutter all over again.

“See what?” He demanded, that ice beginning to fill his eyes. Ice and that look you had seen only moments ago. You smiled, bringing a hand up to smooth down his jacket which had gotten a little ruffled.

“You’re just jealous of the poor lug,” Joatro growled, letting you go quickly.

“Good freakin’ grief.” He huffed, pushing past you in a way that allowed his arm to brush along yours. You couldn’t help but giggle at him, quickening your pace so that you could walk beside him. To keep your arm brushing against his here and there.

“Yep. Jealous.”

If you are ever paired up with him and Kakyoin at a hotel, he’s going to be up in your grill and blame it on the close quarters (you all literally almost have a whole suite like--he can lie to himself but you see what he’s doing)

While you brush your teeth he’s going to brush his teeth and he’s going to have his chest pressed against your back to “let Kakyoin move around behind him”

He’ll roughly scrub toothpaste off your lips if there is ever any and grumble about how messy you are

Kakyoin doesn’t say much about the stolen touches he witnesses Jotaro give your way

He’ll just smile and chuckle softly (and definitely will throw you a thumbs up while Jotaro has his back turned)

A debate about who is sleeping where is going to happen and you're going to have to convince Jotaro to just sleep with you instead of on the floor

Again, he’ll grumble out a “good grief” or two as he pulls himself into bed, arms crossed over his chest and back turned to you

But throughout the night, he’ll gruffly turn around

his leg will press against yours

His arms will uncross and his fingers will play with the edge of your shirt until he works up enough nerve to toss his arm around your waist

Then he’ll be shameless in tugging you against his chest and holding you protectively

His chin will rest on top of your head

And with his new openness, you’ll be allowed to wrap your arms as best you can around his hulking form

Please run your fingers over his shoulders and back

Please wrap your legs around his

Pleaseeee run your fingers through his wavy hair and over his cheek

It’s the only time he’s going to let you touch him so blatantly so take as much of it as you can

He will fall asleep against your smoothing touches and unfortunately will become like a cinderblock

Don’t expect to be able to escape his arms, I hope you used the bathroom before going to bed

You stir awake with a soft inhale of breath. Your body was held oh so tight against the solid form of Joatro, who you found once you fluttered your eyes open. A face so soft in the early hours of the morning and whose green eyes were already open and watching you.

His eyes shifted from a look that was filled with such love it took your breath away back to their usual guarded hardness. You could only feel grateful you had been able to catch the look. One you so rarely saw but felt through his actions every day.

“Morning.” You whispered softly, grip around his large frame growing tighter as you felt him begin to shift. You knew you would only get so many more seconds on this before he was rising from bed, grumbling about how clingy you were and clingy you would be until he did so.

“You gonna let go?” He huffed, hands finding their way to your waist to shove you away. You shook your head, scooting ever closer. So close you could nuzzle your nose against his in a way that made him all but hiss.

“Nope.” You said, popping the ‘p’. “Kakyoin is still asleep, no one is gonna see me snuggling you.” You said quietly as to not wake your friend up in the other bed. Joatro said your name in warning, but you could tell he didn’t mean any of it. Not when he had stopped trying to pull you off of him, muscles relaxing as you splayed your fingers over his back.

“Just a little longer…I’m still asleep, see.” You said, pretending to fall back asleep. Jotaro sighed through his nose but said nothing further. Said nothing as he rewrapped his arms back around you, pulling you tight against his chest.

“Five more minutes and that’s it.” You smiled against the gray shirt he wore, breathing in his scent as you savored every last bit of this you could.

You two will only kiss in private

Like far away from the other Crusaders and behind a locked door private

He will not be caught kissing you at this stage in his life

It’s not because of you at all (though sometimes it can feel like it), it’s because he’s honestly so nervous and trying to keep his tough guy “I don’t give two shits” persona up

And while he’s kissing you, even if it's a simple kiss to the cheek, he can’t promise himself that persona isn’t going to slip

After the events with DIO and his Stand Users, Jotaro has changed

You all have

He’s seen death--been death

So expect him to hold your hand now

Expect him to hold your hand and hold you close so that he can keep you safe

Expect hugs that could last hours while no one is looking

Expect to wipe burning tears that somehow escape his eyes away from his flushing cheeks as he tries to keep himself composed--to not think of everything that had happened in Egypt

Will call you in the middle of the night and beg you in his own, gruffingly unique way to come over so that he can sleep next to you (But expect to wake up before the sun ever rises and get kicked out so his mother doesn’t find out)

He’ll let you touch him whenever you wish now

You’ll be able to rub his back and caress his cheeks and brush that strand of hair out of his eyes

Your touch helps keep him grounded and in this reality

Helps him remember that you are still alive

Will still 100% grumble and keep that tough persona up (might even bat your hand away but there is no backing to it at all, just a reflex)

But you get away with much much more now

thinking about the universe where zoro is the one selfshipping with me and how he wouldn’t do much other than lurk online when he feels the urge to. BUT. he has this one piece of merch of me that he cherishes more than anything, one of his most prized possessions that he keeps safety tucked away in his room. it brings him comfort and grounds him on the days he needs it, when he needs an extra little sparkle to cheer him up and encourage him to keep going :3

I've noticed on your rules you say you won't write NSFW but I've seen on your master list one piece specifically that you have nsfw does that mean you're not okay doing it through request?

Hi!

I haven't really been super motived to write NSFW all that much recently. That doesn't mean I won't write the occasional spicy fic but, since i'm hardly writing my own spicy ideas, I won't be writing any of my normal-type of NFSW fics for requests.

This can and probably will change in the future but right now I just know it's best for me to keep it off the table.

I hope that helps!

Sending love 🫶

Fell First, Fell Harder

Summary: Luffy fell first and harder

Content: fell first, fell harder trope, alternate versions, some death, lots of fluffy love, kinda like a choose your own ending

Word Count: 870+

A/N: This was 1) inspired by the fell first fell harder trend cause I was thinking Luffy would do well as both and 2) it's inspired by this short story I read for one of my classes called "Happy Endings" by Margaret Atwood (it's very fun), which is where I got the idea for the different versions of the story! I hope you all enjoy!

↞ to One Piece Masterlist | Request Rules | Blog Navigation ↠

Luffy fell first and he fell harder.

No matter the circumstances.

At a single glance, Luffy fell for you and you fell just as fast. He’s gravitating towards you just as you gravitate towards him. There hardly needs to be a single word spoken between you two past a simple greeting because you two just know. It’s as if your very souls know--as if they’d been calling out for each other your whole lives. Two sides of the same coin is what you two are.

He helps your island. You help his crew. He asks you to join his crew and you agree before he can even finish the question.

Where one is found, the other is right there too. There is rarely anywhere you two go alone. Many a crew member have commented “if they could crawl into each other's skin, they would have a long time ago.”

You fall harder and harder for each other the longer and longer you two are together. You’ll follow him wherever he goes, just as he will follow you and you both will do so till you are old and gray and wrinkled. You two will follow each other into death’s embrace and live together forever in whatever sunny afterlife awaits you.

Luffy saw you, working for the enemy, yet still fell. He could see your pain--your struggle for survival and wants to help.

You don’t. You see him as a thorn in your side. Someone in the way of your plans. You don’t want or need his help. You joined your Captain's crew for a reason and no amount of love Luffy gives you is going to change that.

Luffy can’t get you out of his head and he can’t help but keep falling harder for you. Not when you stand for the same things he stands for, no matter how you choose to go about it.

Fighting occurs. The Straw Hats win. You are left beaten and bruised and, even when you fought against his family--when you tried to kill them--he extends a hand out for you. He wants you to take it so badly. Wants you to be free with him and yet you spit at his feet. You can’t fathom why he would offer you any amount of love.

He offers you the freedom you’ve been craving so easily. You hate it. You reject it.

You limp away, never once turning back to look at him.

Luffy understands, no matter his disappointment, and walks away too.

He believes you’ll meet again and when the time comes, he’ll offer his hand for you to take once more.

Luffy falls for you the moment you give him an extra loaf of bread he didn’t have the berri to afford. You gave it to him because of his smile and warmth--things he wants to keep sharing with you as long as you will let him.

Luffy saves you from a band of bandits raiding your bakery and you fall for him hard. You keep falling for him over and over again the longer you follow him across the Grand Line.

You two spend day after day together. Neither one of you ever wants to let go of the other. You two are happy and oh so carefree within each other's arms.

The Straw Hats face off against an unforgiving foe. It’s a hard battle. The crew can hardly find the strength to keep on fighting, not when their bodies are beaten beyond repair.

You’re injured too. Bad.

Luffy sees this and defeats the big bad at just the last minute.

Chopper can’t get to you in time.

Luffy loves you even when you are no longer in this world with him. He’ll love you till the day he leaves it too.

You’re a part of the enemy's crew and yet Luffy falls for you the moment you shed a tear for the village your boss has just destroyed.

Luffy wants to save you. You want him to save you too.

You help Luffy even when you know doing so has put a target on your back. Though, with your extra help, Luffy and his crew defeat your former one. He asks you to join him--to sail around the world and help whoever you wish to help. You join him with hardly a second thought and do just that.

Everyday Luffy is around you, the more you two talk and laugh with each other, harder and harder he falls. You fall right back and you fall hard because he has become your best friend.

You follow him throughout his journey and he helps you learn to love yourself despite all the bad from your past.

You believe you’ve fallen first for Luffy and are stuck in a constant battle against your own emotions because you believe Luffy has only ever viewed you as a friend--a fellow crewmate.

Luffy believes you two have been together ever since you joined his crew--has loved you since then. Nami even told him this--that you liked him and he thought that was that. He loves you and you love him, therefore you were his.

Robin tells you this one day and you only fall harder for him.
