The deal was tempting. Ariels bit on her lower lip as she played with her nails.
"Let's do it?" She said quietly.
"YES!" You yelled happily.
———————————————
As classes ended, it was time to go home.
"Are you ready?" Asked her.
"I'm... I'm having second thoughts on this! Wait what if he dosent like me?!" She said panicking.
You looked at her. You can see her playing with her long black hair as she nervously bit her nails.
"Your going to be fine, and if he rejects you... then he's missing out" you told her.
She sighed deeply.
"Ok"
You smiled at her.
"Go get him" you said.
You watched her from a far. As you stood behind a tree, someone was sneaking up behind you.
You quickly reacted and punched the person.
"Ow! What the hell was what for?!" You heard.
"Josuke?" You asked as you helped him back up.
"What are you doing?" You asked him.
"Well, I was going to come and get you to head to the hotel with Jotaro... but I see your busy... what are you even looking at?" He asked as he hid behind the tree with you.
"Are you spying on Akio?" He asked.
"Yes... and no" you said.
"Look, just tell Jotaro I'm not going to the hotel right after school today... I might be home a little late" you said.
Josuke was a bit suspicious about it.
"Do you like Akio?" He asked.
"W-wha.. WHAT?" You stumbled on your words.
"Do you like him?" He asked again.
You sighed.
"So what if I do?" You said sarcastically as you where checking on
Ariels.
You where then pulling and pinned down on the tree as Josukes tall body was towering over you.
"Josuke?" You asked as you did your best to hide your burning face in your turtleneck.
"Do you like him?" He asked a little more serious.
You didn't understand what was happening. Why is he so aggressive about it?
"No! I don't like him! I'm spying because Ariels is asking him out!" You said.
Once he realized what he did, a quickly got off of you.
He blushed as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"I'll.... let Jotaro know your coming back late..." he said.
"See you later" he said as he walked away with hands in his pockets.
You were left alone with your back against the tree, you let out a breath that you didn't know you where holding.
"I told you he liked you"
You jumped to the sudden voice.
You looked over to see Ariels.
"H-how long have you been standing there?" You asked her.
"Long enough to know that he likes you" she said with a smile.
You sighed heavily.
"He dosent like me.. we just work together" you said.
"Sooooo??? What did he say??" You asked her.
Her smile dropped as she looked at the ground in sadness.
"He..." she said, her voice sounded like she was about to cry.
"Ariels..." you put a hand on her shoulder.
Just before you could say anything. She looked up at you with a wide smile.
"He said yes!" She said with a squeal.
"Oh my god you scared me!" You said. But you where happy for her.
"Come on! Let's get you an outfit for your date! When is it?" You asked.
"Tonight at 8" she said. She was so happy.
——-
You and Ariels are at downtown. Shopping.
You where looking at a magazine of fashion in Japan.
Ariels was found of Kpop fashion and you wanted to give her stuff she liked.
Sitting in a store, you waited for Ariels to try on clothes in the fitting room.
"Tonight is going to be the best! I'm finally going out with the perfect man!" She said so happy.
"Where are you even going?" You asked her as you flipped threw the magazine.
"He said that he wanted to meet at the park! We'd walk together, maybe hold hands and just talk! Then he'd take me somewhere to eat!" She said.
"Ugh! Y/n! Non of these clothes seem convincing!" She said.
You put down the magazine and knocked on the door.
"What's wrong?" You asked.
"Well, non of these clothes fit nicely with my body, and if I get a size smaller it would fit around my waist just fine, but my arms are suffocating" she said as he looked in the mirror.
"But if I get a size bigger.. my arms are fine but the shirt around my waist make me look BIGGER" she said.
You looked at her and studied her. You had a pretty good feel at the kpop fashion.
"You know what... I know the perfect outfit!" You told her.
"Wait here! I'll be back" you ran out of the fitting room and bought her more clothes that would fit her.
After you took the time to find her clothes, you gathered an outfit.
You got her a crop top hoodie, it would show off her waist. And a high waisted black jeans.
"Ariels! What do you think of this?" You told her. Her eyes brightened up.
"Red is my favorite color!" She said happily. As she closed the door to change she called out for you once again.
"Y/n!"
"Yeah?" You asked.
"Could you bring shorts instead of jeans?" She said.
"Are you sure? It might get cold" you told her.
"Yes, call me stalker but, I know his favorite part of a woman is her legs" she said, you can tell from her voice she was blushing.
You laughed and agreed, you brought her shorts and let her change.
As you sat down, you opened the magazine reading up on the towns news.
Girls were going missing.
You were a bit concerned. Is it something you should call in for Jotaro?
Soon, you heard the door open and Ariels came out with her new outfit.
"I think this is the one" she said happy.
"I think You look Amazing" you said to her.
Ariels smiled as she looked at the price tag. Her smile dropped once she saw the price.
"Oh hell no!" She said out loud.
"This is 12759 yen! And that's just the red hoodie! It's just the hood and sleeve!! There's no pockets!" He yelled.
"Ariels! Don't worry about it! I have the money for it, don't worry! I got you covered" you smiled at her.
-payment-
After paying for the outfit and a couple more for her. The two of you went to her house.
She lived in a small home. A little run down, old home. As she pulled the keys out form her backpack. She opened the door.
"It's small... but it's all we got" she said. She seemed to be embarrassed by her home.
"Dad! I'm home!" She called out.
Soon, a man came out and kissed his daughter on the head.
"Hey darling, are you hungry?" Said her father.
"Yeah, look! I got new clothes because of y/n! Can my friend stay and eat with us?" She asked her father.
The man looked at you and smiled.
"Sure honey" he said.
You where nervous.
"Come to my room, let me put away my new clothes" you followed her to her room. Walking in, you two two beds on each side of the room.
One has pink blankets and a stuffed panda. The other had a simple black blanket and one simple pillow.
"You Share room with a brother or a sister?" You asked.
"My father, it's just as... I don't have any bothers or sister" she said.
"Oh.. so where dose you mo-"
"She's not part of this family" Ariels cut you off as she said it almost angry.
"S-Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude... it's just me and my dad... my mom left me at birthday.." she said. She was hurt.
"She took one look at me.. and decided that I wasn't worth it.. luckily I had my father, we only have each other" she said almost in tears.
"Hey... you didn't have to tell me that you know?" You said with a hand on her shoulder.
"I know... but we're friends now right?" She said with a weak smile.
You looked down at your metal arm of which it was hidden.
"Right... Ariels.." you said softly.
"I... I lost my mother as well, she left me as well... after she found out that my father was dead.. she left me behind" you said.
"Your father's dead?" Aerial asked.
"Yeah... I've been told his stories many times as I grew up" you told her.
"Girls! The food is ready!" You heard her father say.
Ariels smiled and said.
"Come on, lets go eat... you don't want to take off your coat or anything?" She asked.
You respectfully said no and went on to eat, as the three of you ate.
You keeping looking at the father. He looked tired. Overworked almost.
As you quietly ate, the conversation of Ariels date tonight started.
You simply listened at the father started to play his role.
The over protective father, soon enough Ariels begged enough to go. You wished you had that problem.
You wished your father would kiss your head.
After you finished your plate you stood up from the table.
"Thank you for the food and letting me into your home. It's a lovely place" you said as you grabbed your dish to the sink and washed it.
You thanked them once more and wished Ariels luck to her date. But she clearly didn't need it.
Leavening the old home.
You would do anything to have your father back.
Yes the home is broken, yes they may not have a lot of money. But you would tread it all in to live happily with your father for one day.
——-
You took the long way home.
Finally getting to your hotel room, it was late.
It was about to be 12.
Opening the door to your room, you see old Joseph sitting on a chair with his cane at hand.
"Mr. Joestar! What are you doing up so late?" You asked him.
"You weren't home yet, so I waited for you to return" he said as he got up from his set to walk to you.
He planted a kiss on your forehead.
"I was getting worried" he said with a smile.
