Work Text:
You were walking alongside the river, your hair flowing as a slight wind passed.
You were a tad nervous. Jonathan asked you to meet him near the plum tree in the evening, wanting to tell you something. He looked nervous and uncertain and it made you worry. Has something changed between you two? Did you do something wrong to upset him? You honestly didn’t know. Setting your anxious thoughts aside, you continued to walk. Reaching Joestar’s garden, you made your way to the depths of it, searching for a certain plum tree.
As you neared the tree, you saw a young man standing against it while fidgeting with his hand, clearly nervous. Noticing your approaching figure, Jonathan turned to you shyly smiling.
“Ah, Miss/Mister (Y/N)” Jonathan said in a soft voice.
“Jojo, I told you to simply call me (Y/N)” you answered chuckling a bit. Even after knowing each other for many years, he is still as polite as ever.
“Ah, I suppose it is a habit of mine” Jonathan replied, apologizing.
“So, what did you want to talk about?” you asked.
“Ah, well, it’s just a silly thought of mine, nothing really…” he tried to change the topic, avoiding your eye contact. This was weird, it wasn’t in Jojo’s manner.
“Of course, it is not, Jojo, you know you can tell me anything. I won’t judge you or anything” you tried to reassure him, putting your hand on his shoulder.
Jonathan suddenly backed away and started pacing back and forth, visibly nervous and trying to say something. Finally, he started to speak
“Dear (Y/N), I am sorry I have taken your time on this day, but I simply cannot hide my feelings from you anymore. I adore and wish to be closer to you. I love spending time with you. I love your smile; it makes my heart beat faster each time. I love to spend time with you, no matter what we end up doing. Simply being next to you is enough for me to feel happy. I want to hold you in my arms and protect you. And I-” Jonathan’s eyes met your surprised ones. Taking them as a sign of shock or confusion, he started to panic, stumbling over his words
“-an-and I… I am sorry if I made you upset or disgusted by me, but pl-please, hear me out- ” his breath quickened with anxiety, as he started to avoid your eyes and pace back and forth.
As you tried to come closer to reassure him you noticed that you were tangled by an enormous number of flowers rapidly growing and swirling around you, restraining your movement slightly. You knew that Jonathan could produce flowers with his hamon, but this was different. Jojo clearly wasn’t in full control over the plants, as they were growing rapidly with each moment. The plum tree has also started to bloom, filling the atmosphere with its sweet smell and the falling flowers swirling in the air, making the scenery almost magical. Your hair was now covered and braided with flowers, making you look like a fairy creature.
“Jonathan’’ you tried to call for him.
“- and when I remember the time we spent; it makes me incredibly happy-” he continued.
“Jona-” you noticed a tree starting to grow rapidly underneath you. One of the branches caught you by your clothes, lifting you up while continuing to grow.
‘’I do not want our friendship to suffer, but I also cannot ignore such feelings I have for you- ‘’ Jojo was completely unaware of your situation, trying to continue his confession without stopping.
“Jo-‘’
“I might be not the most smart or gentlemanly of people, but my feelings for you are pure and strong and I- ”
“JOESTAR” you finally yelped to snap him out of it. At this point you were sitting on the tree like a lost cat waiting to be saved.
Jojo’s eyes widened as he ran to the tree, profusely apologizing. You jumped right into his arms, surprising him. As he has settled you down, he started to help you get rid of the flowers restricting you, however, leaving the ones tangled in your hair.
Before he could apologize again, you quickly stood on your tiptoes kissing Jonathan’s cheek. You could see the blush starting to form on his cheeks.
“Jojo, you are so cute. You didn’t have to worry at all, of course I adore you, how could I not?” your statement made his blush deepen.
“You don’t have to be a perfect gentleman; I love you the way you are. I love the way you treat me and others, you have a heart of gold and the purest soul. One could only wish for a man like you. And I am happy that I am the one who your heart belongs to. And mine belongs to you” you finished, smiling at Jonathan.
Still with a smile and a deep blush on his face, Jojo brought you closer to him, looking down at you with adoration. He then gently put a hand on your cheek.
“May I?” Jonathan asked, almost whispering.
You nodded. He lowered his head, gently kissing you as you almost melted into his embrace. You wrapped your arms around his neck bringing him closer. He wrapped his arms around your waist in return. As you two separated, he suddenly lifted you up, making you yelp and tighten your hold around his neck. He starts to spin around with you in his arms, laughing and proclaiming his love for you so the whole world could hear it. Well, until Dio told you two to shut up.
