Chapter Text
The battle went as smoothly as it could’ve gone. Jonathan out on the balcony fighting Dio as Speedwagon helped the other Hamon users fend off zombies.
Then Dio vanished away from the balcony, causing Jonathan’s panicked yell for Speedwagon to be the last thing he’d hear before falling into darkness.
His head ached, but his whole body felt refreshed like he had the best sleep in the world. Speedwagon opened his eyes, sitting up on his bed as he looked around.
His room was shrouded in darkness, but he could see surprisingly well. Stumbling out of bed, he found himself in the same clothing he went to fight Dio in.
Did he really faint during the fight?
He tried to think as he made his way across the room to open the window. Pulling it back to hear the sound of chains. He stared in confusion, trying again before he took a step back.
Why was his window locked from the outside? Not even locked, seemingly barred completely.
Speedwagon’s eyes widened with confusion before he heard his front door opening. Making him try and find his knife.
The footsteps got closer, Speedwagon quickly dove behind the door as he heard it open.
“Robert?” A voice called out, his voice gentle and full of kindness. It was Jonathan.
Speedwagon quickly jolted out from his hiding spot. “Mr Joestar! You’re alright!” he said, his voice shifted to one of joy as he looked up at Jonathan who didn’t return the same reaction. “Did Dio get away?” He then asked
“No.” Jonathan answered, he took a deep breath as he looked away. “When did you wake up?”
“Just now- I thought you were breaking into my house!” Speedwagon said, pushing his hair back as he smiled up at Jonathan. “I’m glad to see that it’s you!”
“You.. you keep saying that.” Jonathan said, refusing to look Speedwagon in the eye.
“What?” Speedwagon’s smile faded before he laughed nervously, reaching towards Jonathan before he stopped himself. “Why won’t you look at me?”
“I don’t know how to tell you.. but you’ve been out for.. maybe a week now.” Jonathan said, trying to find the words.
His eyes widened with shock as he stepped back. “A WEEK!?” He exclaimed. “What happened? Did I get whacked over the head too hard or something?”
“Worse.” Jonathan said, finally getting the strength to stare at Speedwagon’s mouth then slowly up to Speedwagon’s eyes. “Have you felt ok? This whole conversation?”
“Fine? Jonathan what happened to me? Did I lose a limb or something?” Speedwagon asked, his voice began to shake with worry.
Jonathan sounded upset as well as he reached out to touch Speedwagon's cheek. Then pushing his thumb to open the other’s mouth. “I’m sorry.”
His hands followed up to where Jonathan’s thumb pressed against. The sharpness of fangs pricked Speedwagon’s fingers.
His stomach dropped as everything felt like it was spinning. Stumbling back and onto his bed as he started to breathe heavily. “No- no no no-“
“Jonathan- Jonathan what did he do to me!? What happened to me!?” Speedwagon began to yell, staring up at Jonathan with tears in his eyes.
Jonathan took a step towards Speedwagon before sitting down next to him. “I was.. I was fighting Dio and he just went after you out of the blue. None of us had time to react and he used the mask..”
“Oh god! Oh god!” Speedwagon yelled as he began to sob into his hands. Disgusted that he let such a thing happen to himself.
“Straizo.. Straizo believed we should’ve killed you on the spot.” Jonathan continued. “I.. I begged him not to- so we brought you back home- and.. he said to let you starve.”
Speedwagon fell silent as he stared up at Jonathan with sunken eyes. “Why are you.. why are you here?”
“I couldn't let you starve! I care about you too much to let that happen.” Jonathan said, looking down at Speedwagon before he sighed. “I want to help.”
“Help how?”
Jonathan was hesitant before he pulled down his shirt, revealing more of his neck to Speedwagon. “To feed you- I guess.. It sounds a bit odd but I don’t want you to suffer.”
“No! No! Jojo! I couldn’t! That’s so ungentlemanly! I can’t do that to you!” Speedwagon said, his face turning a bright red as he shook his head in panic.
“Robert please! Let me help! Just for today!” Jonathan pleaded, placing both his hands on Speedwagon’s shoulders. His grip tightened as he looked at Speedwagon.
He began to sob as he looked at Jonathan. Before he suddenly hugged the man. “You promise it’ll be ok- You’ll stop me before I do anything stupid right!?”
“Of course! I’m your friend! I wouldn’t want anything bad to come between us-“ Jonathan said, letting go of Speedwagon as he waved his hands about.
He hesitated for a moment before Speedwagon nodded, making his way towards Jonathan’s neck. Slowly biting into the other’s neck.
It felt so natural, like he’d be doing that for ages. Only pulling away once he heard Jonathan’s wincing.
“Are you ok-?!” Speedwagon asked with a panic.
“I’m fine- just not used to it. Continue please- it’s fine-“
Speedwagon nodded before he dug his fangs back in as he continued.
Jonathan tasted so good. It was bizarre for Speedwagon. He never expected this in his lifetime.
Lost in his own world, Speedwagon felt drowned in the taste of it. Beginning to cling to Jonathan softly as he did so. Hearing the other whimper as he took blood from the other.
“Speedwagon- slow down- I’m feeling light headed already.” Jonathan spoke softly, his hand resting in Speedwagon’s hair as he gently pulled the other’s head back.
Speedwagon looked up at Jonathan as he quickly wiped the blood from his mouth away. “Sorry.”
“It’s ok.. “ Jonathan said as he laid down in the other’s bed.
He couldn’t help but lay down with Jonathan. Pressing himself against the other. “Aren’t you going to leave me?”
“Not yet. I miss spending time with you. Made me wish you woke up sooner!”
Speedwagon laughed, “You always seem to find the good in things don’t you, Jojo?”
“That’s a good quality right?” Jonathan then asked.
“Of course!” Speedwagon said,
The other couldn’t help but begin to fall asleep with the other with him.
Leaving Speedwagon awake next to Jonathan. Seemingly more hopeful about this than he was before.
