2x2 mile Intervals 🌙

My sleep pattern is a bit off at the moment, so a late night run before bed was what was needed to get it done. Goal pace was 10:35-10:55. Nailed it!

Now it’s nearly midnight…time for a shower and a few hours sleep before work. Hopefully it’s decent- I get to go hiking with a friend tomorrow evening!

Beauty Is Devotion

So, what do you wanna do, what's your point of view? There's a party, screw it, do you wanna go? A handshake with you, what's your point of view? I'm on top of you, I don't wanna go 'Cause I really wanna stay at your house

Time: 9:30 pm. Decently warm on the beach. Nyeh... This is the life. It's just me and Aceto, hopelessly in love with each other. The guys can bite me. This is where it's at! He's the man of my dreams! He's not even one of us... he worships the boss! Oh, if only this moment can be frozen in time... It's just the two of us, embracing each other in the sand, without a care in the world, praising each other, without a care in the world.

"Oh, Paulla..." He sighed, utterly blissful. "I swear, not a single soul will hurt you. I'll kill anyone who bothers you...!"

"Then... It'll be the same for me. I want to show you our world, someday. Even if the guys bare their Stands at your windpipe, and those adorable little eyes... I'll see them through," I'm serious. The guys can kiss my ass, with their distrust of everyone. They're my best friends, but they can shut the hell up on my boyfriend. Doppio has no credibles...?! You wouldn't know "credible" if you were the head of a conglomerate, and your name was Ra... Lost my train of thought.

"Even to Risotto?"

"Even Nero! Ah..." The usual motions will be done. Smushing his face into my chest, and tracing my fingers delicately through his hair. ~🎵

"Ah, Doppio... My dearly devoted love. My adorable little lover. Sweet, violent, beloved Doppio... What would I give for you to meet my big sis,"

"You said her name was Ane, right? She sounds so nice whenever you talk about her... Both of you are just so, so sweet..." He sighed. Did we both blush, or were we already blushing? Love abounds, ah...

"Hey, Paulla?" Sticking his face up, he gave me a Look.

"What's up?"

"D'ya think that... That maybe you can call... call me by my first name?" And with this, he was flushed even pinker then typical for him. By his first name... Aceto. Now this is something! I don't think anyone calls him that... But you knew that by now, right? I haven't actually heard it out loud before... Do you think the boss calls him by his first name? I don't think so.

"You mean it?" I guess it makes sense, even though we've only been dating for a bit. On account of how hopelessly in love we are...! It hit me, finally.

"...!" What else am I gonna say? "Oui, mon amour!" You know, we both agree that French is without a doubt, one of the most romantic languages there is. We've never actually met a Frenchman, naturally, so it's new, beautiful.

"Aceto, then? You really could have just asked me earlier, you know," I sighed, moving his little lick out of his face. And that just made him blush all the more. I kind of did so, too. "You're just adorable when you blush, Aceto..." ~🎵

"And I thought you NEVER blush...! Hahahaha..." Hmm, you know what I'm in the mood for? Heheheh...

Laughing it off after a moment, I sat up rather suddenly, leaving him stumped. As he went up as well, I gave him a Look.

"Don't tell anyone you heard this from me, 'kay? Hmm~🎵" Let's begin now.

"Totsuzen ni mō upside down Sekai wa kawari dasu Inori mo todokanai Boku ga kawari dasu~🎵" I simply chose a laxer song. Do you know what it's called? He seemed a bit confused at the song itself.

"You've heard me sing it a couple of times... There's no chance someone like YOU can forget it," I remarked. "It's one song I've become fond of while I was still in Japan. Before I moved back here, you know..." Oh, I HATE cover stories!

"...That one I'm thinking of, yeah? I mean, if you wanna..." He sighs. I ought to teach him the proper words...

"Kimi wa matomete hachiletet-tsuzukete Chibi-un ga dome ka wakaranuku naru Naki-sedakedo makitakunaikara🎵" He was a little shy when it came to singing, but in my presence, he just couldn't resist!

"O-shi-e-te~" All together, now...

"Yoru ni haseru kono yurameki to Omoinomama ni tobimawatte Motto jiyū ni kakete ikou yo Hoshi o miagete sa~🎵" Ah... That was a nice bit!

"It's fun, right, Aceto?" He nodded a "yes". A perfect night! !! It's time... Make your move, now...

I turned to him, he was picking sand out of his eye, somehow managing to get some in. When he saw me, he was even more confused. Moving closer, closer, closer, yet closer... Soon, we met each other at a borderline unwise closeness. Sighing, I prepped myself for a kiss. Open up, he'll know when it gets there-

Hmm?! Aha! Come to mama, now...

"Torurururururururu!" What.

"!! Fuck, sorry, one sec. Uh..." Didn't you tell the boss not to call you now?! We're having a moment here...!

Scrambling for something, I would've told him that there's a payphone over there on the beach, but Aceto, my poor sweet dumbass Aceto, chooses to use my leg as a phone.

"Ugh, why the hell is a phone over here...?" Sighing, he made the call. What is WITH him, honestly? *dreamy sigh*

"Boss! What the hell?! Didn't I already tell you a hundred times not to CALL ME AT THIS TIME?! I'm in the middle of something here!" This looks a little dirty from afar... This is funny! He's the only one I've ever seen talk to the boss like that! Though it's also uncomfortable, 'cuz his calls tend to take a while...

"Eh?! Fine, fine, fine. Got it. *Click!* Oh." He stumbled out of his little phone-daze, realizing what he's using. Quickly dropping my leg, he hastily looked around and stood up. Wonder what he needed him for?

"Shit, sorry Paulla, Boss needs me for something. Somethin' came up and I gotta go-" Quickly and awkwardly, he left without elaborating. Oh well. There's always then. "Aceto..." I complained.

"See you tomorrow, then? I'll text you when I get home!" Heading to the promenade, I pulled out my own phone.

"Hey. Big Sis. Guess what?"

"I have a boyfriend!"

"Yeah! He's just the cutest! I met him at school, and we hit it off! He's not a classmate, though, technically. And he's SO protective...! I LOVE him!"

She was surprised to hear the good news, but was very happy to hear. I really, really need to introduce the two! Maybe I can introduce the guys, too.

Time to head back home.

Then it hits me.

He's the first to have enacted such emotions in me.

Not even Big Sis or the guys could have pulled that off.

I don't believe in fate, or anything like that.

But maybe, we were intended to meet, you know? I can feel it.

He'll have a place in the Golden Land. I'm sure of it.

______________________________________________________________

That smell... I know it well.

Something is off. The air is filled with the scent of spicy-sweet, metal, and death. Do you know what that means?

NERO! He must've been watching me the whole night with his Stand! Walking further up to the start of the route to the hideout, I picked up the sound of footsteps. 2... no, 9 of them.

You gotta be kidding me... Everyone was watching?! Okay, Illuso, Nero himself, and Gelato I can get. The first and last of those three have straight up told me "What do you see in him?!", and the last one is one case on his own, but Prosciutto? Pesci? Ghiaccio? Melone? Sorbet? Sorbet does NOT give a shit on who I date. He's the only one who calls me "Izza"! "Izza"! That one gains nothing from this! None of the guys do! They kinda remind me of my parents, hehe...! My ma HAS been a misanthropic recluse for at least 9 years.

I clapped my hands together. Dare to dance with these gauntlets? Who wants to feel the full force of Smooth Criminal's despair first? Dare to dance?

Facing the direction I heard the footsteps in, then I made my move.

"You've done well to make it here! I should've expected as much... FROM THE LAUGHING STOCKS OF PASSIONE!!" Run all you want, I decide the truth!
