JoJo's Bizarre AU

[ripetuto]

Cascada: A hamon wielder who resides on Air Supplena Island. She largely isn't involved with Joseph and Caesar's training, since her focus is on the healing side of the practice. Looks up to Lisa Lisa a great deal, and treats the boys like they're her rowdy little brothers.

Zappa, Turner, Joplin, & Garcia: A quartet of Stand-users who work for the Speedwagon Foundation.

Lucrezia Stelline, Sara Canestrelli, & Natale Amaretto: A trio of back-alley doctors who work at a clinic in Naples affiliated with Passione. All three have Stands.

Lia Brooks: An American sixteen year old stuck in Italy after a vacation gone horribly wrong. Shot by some assholes, saved by Bucciarati, subsequently joined Passione and his team. Stand name is Astral Romance, which grants her some batshit durability and also shoot-em-up mechanics via flower petals.

Prompto Argentum: Another child of Dio's, he and Bucciarati meet when Bucciarati stumbles into his hideaway after a fight. Stand name is Paparazzi, a Stand that looks like a camera that allows Prompto to affect anyone shown in the picture.

"Nines": A teenager of unknown origin who seems to be anywhere and everywhere at once. Formerly a member of a group of twisted Stand users, recently left this group to wander around and learn what he can on his own. Stand name is Puppet Loosely Strung, which allows him to take over another person's actions for a time; however, the longer he stays in the more psychic backlash he feels when he leaves, and if he is in for too long, he risks losing himself.

Yuu: A transfer student who attended Giorno's school up until being stabbed by Black Sabbath's Stand arrow, and is then left with little choice but to join Passione. Stand name is Jar of Hearts, which allows for the collection and storage of others' injuries, thus healing them. These injuries cannot be stored indefinitely and have to be inflicted on something or someone within a certain amount of time or else Yuu will take the brunt of the damage themself. Has a sub-Stand ability called Heartbreaker, allowing for Yuu to weaponize their own physical and emotional pain.

[esperienzadoro]

Mmm.

[And he just. Passes the fuck out right there in Fugo's arms. Gold Experience Requiem vanishes. It'll drop the arrow when Giorno's awake.]

[infezione]

[He needs rest. They all need rest, but Giorno the most.

And that's how all of them end up in a hotel later. Fugo and Giorno have a room to themselves. Giorno's been placed on one of the beds in the room, and Fugo's... next to him on the bed. Sitting up and reading, at this point, but... there. For when Giorno wakes up.]

[esperienzadoro]

[Giorno frowns in his sleep, shifting and almost crying before he sits up with a start, looking around.]

[infezione]

Giorno!

[Setting the book aside immediately--]

Hey, are you alright?

[esperienzadoro]

Panna--

[God, he's alright. Giorno throws himself at Fugo, not even caring that he slipped and called him by the name he does in his dreams.]

[infezione]

[...oh.

He wraps his arms around Giorno, holding him tight.]

Here, it's okay, GioGio--I'm alright, I'm right here... [He presses a kiss to Giorno's head.] I've got you.

[esperienzadoro]

[It's alright. Everyone's alive and safe and. God. He takes a moment to just let Fugo hold him, safe and close.]

...GioGio?

[infezione]

... Ah, is it alright if I call you that? I thought it sounded cute...

[As he brushes some of Giorno's hair back.]

[esperienzadoro]

I like it.

[Cute. He wanted to call Giorno something cute.]

Panna--or what would you want me to call you, amore?

[infezione]

[Fugo considers it for a few moments, shifting so that they can both be a bit more comfortable.]

Mm... I like "Panni." [Another kiss.]

[esperienzadoro]

Panni, amore, cuore mio.

[A kiss!]

Gold Experience Requiem wasn't exaggerating. I love you.

[infezione]

[A kiss that he happily returns.]

And I wasn't kidding when I said I'd been beaten to it. I was planning to tell you when everything was over. I love you, too.

[esperienzadoro]

Remember that day, on Capri? When I asked to move in with you? I've been dreaming about that ever since.

[infezione]

I remember.

[Another kiss!]

I've thought about it a lot. [A beat.] I meant it when I said we could get a cat.

[...]

Maybe now we could get something bigger than just an apartment. If you want.

[esperienzadoro]

We'll need Bucciarati's help there. No one is going to rent or sell to teenagers.

[Alas.]

But I'd love that, Panni. Napoli?

[infezione]

[Alas.]

Yeah, Napoli. [...] Somewhere with space for a nice garden.

[esperienzadoro]

Quiet, so the noise of the neighbors doesn't aggravate you.

[infezione]

That sounds wonderful.

[A kiss.]

[esperienzadoro]

And whatever else you want. I want to make you happy, Panni, and to care for you. Will you let me?

[infezione]

Yeah, I will. If you'll let me do the same for you, GioGio.

[esperienzadoro]

Always.

[And for a day or two, everything is great.

But then Polnareff asks to speak to Giorno, privately, a conversation that takes hours.

And then no one sees Giorno at all the next day. No one's sure where he went, just that Polnareff was the last one to speak to him.]

[infezione]

[Fugo worries.

He worries, and he does not wait. And that's what leads him to start searching for Giorno, wondering if he should maybe have some words with Polnareff--

God. Please let Giorno be okay.]

[ripetuto]

[He absolutely should have words. As Fugo is searching, he comes across Abbacchio leading the way to where Polnareff has been recovering, Bucciarati and Narancia close behind. Mista and Trish are out looking for Giorno right now.]

[infezione]

[... When Fugo realizes where Abbacchio and the other two are going, Fugo joins them.

Bucciarati glances over and when he notices Fugo shaking, he reaches out to put a hand on Fugo's shoulder. Fugo lets him.]

[ripetuto]

Do not summon any Stands. Not unless he turns hostile.

[Mostly for Fugo's sake.

They get to Polnareff's room and Abbacchio doesn't even bother to knock. He just shoves the door open and makes for where Polnareff is sitting at the desk in the room on a laptop. There's no resistance as Abbacchio pulls his chair out and spins him around.]

I take Giorno has not returned?

No shit, cazzo. What the fuck did you say to him yesterday?
