You were staring at him again,over the past few weeks you started getting this horrible butterfly gut feeling in stomach when ever he was near. You'd fiddle with your blue hakama, sharpen your blade to try and take your mind off his deep voice but it just wasn't working! Not like it used to!

Before you'd all gotten to Eypgt you could count on Polnareffs dumb and lewd jokes to take your mind off Avdol and his stupidly handsome face. What would your mother say?! Acting like this over a man,an older man at best! But you couldn't help it!

You let out another sigh,as you looked down at the swim suite Mr.Joestar had gotten you from the gift shop in the lobby.

"How do I even wear this?" Growing up in a very strict home you had no time for swimming! You had Kendo to practice! Putting the black swim suit down you considered just returning it to the Hamon user and practice your swings and parrys but then a thought crossed your mind. W-what if Avdol was going?

You all had been stuck travaling the desert for days and a dunk in the pool sounds amazing but the thought of seeing Avdols exposed chest and body! oh it was almost too much to bare! would he be as built as Polnareff? Or would it be subtle like Kakyoin-san and Jotaro-san?

"No! I must banish such lewd thoughts! If father found what I was thinking he would most definitely make me dust the house from top to bottom!" Grabbing your katana you tightened your obi, a sound mind was a sound body! After a humiliating defeat at the hands of one of Dios servants You'd promised yourself you would not let your ego get the best of you ever again! Not after it almost cost you your life.

Knock knock

"Yes?"

"Hey we're heading down to the pool are you- hey! How come your arent dress?"

"I am not going,I have to practice my swings"

He groaned and shook his head,"you Japanese students are so high strung," he stepped into your room a gray towel hung over his shoulder and a pair of baby blue trunks sat on his hips with a twisty on his wrist to put his hair up once it got soaked,"come on,I'll even help you tie the back" he tossed the black bottoms at you along with the top,there was a single golden hoop at the top where the strings hung.

"I will not,go on ahead"

"Ok whats the real problem? You've been acting funny for a while now," he asked,taking a seat on your bed.

"There is no problem,I am fine" you replied,"would you care to spar against my Lady in Lace?"

He said your name with his 'big brother voice' that made you instantly wince,your own brothers back in Japan had used it on you before.

"I do no understand why you think something is wrong,Polnareff I'm fin-"

"Thats BS and you know it,Did Jotaro say something nasty? Some punk touch you? Just point them out and I'll give them a taste of silver chariots steel!"

"Its nothing like that! Kujo-san is a little blunt but he is also very kind same with Kakyoin-kun and Mr.joestar,I am fine! I promise!"

"....the only person you didn't mention was Avdol," he made a face,as if putting together a puzzle in his head when it hit him a stupidly wide grin grew across his face as he gave a deep and hearty laugh," I-Im so stupid! How did I miss that?! Oh ___,I cant believe I didn't notice sooner!!"

"N-notice what? And stop that mocking laughter this instant!" He patted you on the head,knocking the lacey ribbon on your head around,"and Unhand me!"

"You've got a crush on him dont you?"

You froze,"I- thats not- you!" You couldnt even get the words out to defend yourself with!

"Aww its ok! He is a very good looking man,not as handsome as me though," he laughed and patted the bed for you to sit down on,"now then let's talk,you've got a little crush on him,dont you?"

"I-i think so? But I cant act on those feelings,my family would be disappointed and displeased so please promise you'll keep this between us?"

"Well your parents aren't here right now,I am," he shifted from playful to serious,it was a bit unnerving to see," your what? 18? 19? Your an adult now,your parents can't chose your life for you,its yours not theirs"

"But-"

"No buts,what are your parents going to do? I know they're hard on you but its time you lived your life the way you want too,___"

You gripped your sword and looked at your swim suit,was he right? Your parents would never know if you did pursue Avdol so...it was OK? You did like him alot,he was kind and thoughtful,always worrying about others.

"You have to be more careful Avdol-San,I almost ran out of lace" you used your stand to sew his injuries back together

"Well I couldn't let you get hurt,those kitchen knifes were extremely sharp" he smiled at you and you could feel your heart beat faster," besides,I care deeply for your safty"

"O-ok,let us proceed in winning Avdol-sans affection! ...how do I go about that?"

Polnareff smirk and hand you the swim suit,turning around he started plotting,Avdol was a good man and you were a good woman,a perfect match! He rubbed his hands together,you two would be holding hands by the end of this trip even if it killed him!

"I require assistance please" you folded your cloths and left them on the bed,your back exposed to the french man and he tied your outfit up,"h-how do I look?" You'd never worn something flashy and exposing.

"Absolutely adorable! Here,you can have my towel," he grabbed your hand and dragged you out into the hall,excited as hell," lets go Woo that spicy chicken bastard!" He grinned hitting the elevator button.

"D-do you think he will like it?" You wrapped yourself in the towel,heart thumping heavily in your chest.

"He won't be able to keep his eyes off you"

You buried your face in the towel,embarrassed at the thought of having his attention all on you. His warm eyes looking directly at you the thought sparked a fire in your heart.

Ding!

"Come on come on! Everyone is waiting for us" opening the door to the pool you could see Jotaros massive frame sitting on one of the chairs,he was talking to Kakyoin about something and next to him sat Avdol and Joseph. He wasnt wearing his earring nor had he kept his hair up,letting it all flow behind him like a god of battle and wisdom!

"Good grief, you stare any harder your eyes are going to fall out," Jotaro said.

"I-I was not staring,Kujo-san!"

"I hate to break it to you but you kinda were"

"Noriaki-kun!" You yelled,catching the attention of the other two men.

"Finally decided to join us? So tell me,__,does the swim suit fit all right? I figure you had a small body given how tiny you are" Joseph teased.

"I am not tiny! You are all just very big! Practically giants among men! Except you Noriaki-kun,you are as small," you pointed rudely then narrowed your eyes,"as the smallest of beans!"

"Im not that small!" You crossed your arms and shook your head at his protest and the lost the grip you had on your towel ,letting it fall completely.

"AWWWW! look how cute you are!!" Joseph cried spinning you around,"when this is over I'm adopting you! Suzi would love you!"

"Thats what I said!" Polnareff said,"Avdol,dosent she look good?"

"Indeed,you look very nice" his soft smile was already doing things to you,"A true natural beauty"

"Thank you,I um dont get compliments often," eventually Kakyoin and Jotaro decided to mess around in the pool,occasionally useing their stands to splash or dunk each other. You sat next to Polnareff at the edge of the pool.

"Sooo are you gunna come ask him to swim with you?"

"I-well to be completely sincere,I have yet to learn the basic art of swimming"

He blinked, grinned then turned his body around to yell,"Avdol come teach her how to swim!!!"

"Hey!!" You flushed as the dark skin man came over slowly.

"You know how to flirt right?"

"No!"

"Hm,well,Just compliment him! Everyone likes compliments!"

"What-you cannot just- hello Avdol-san"

He greeted you,"what is it that you need me for?"

"Yeah,you nearly busted my ear drum with that loud mouth of yours" Joseph complained,digging his pinky into his right ear and flicking some wax twords the swords man.

"Ew!"

"Oh calm down you big baby"

"Anyways,___,here never learned how to swim and since I know Avdol here can teach anyone almost anything,I figured you'd be the perfect candidate!"

"Well if he's staying here to teach,___,how to swim then you're going to help me get the food" Joseph grabbed Polnareff by the hair,gently,and dragged the swordsman away leaving the both of you alone.

"Shall we get started then?" He sunk into the cool water,looking like a water yokai coming to steal you away to the spirit realm,if he were a yokai you'd happily follow him!

"Yes,thank you very much,Avdol-san but your really dont have to waste your time,I can learn by myself,I am sure your very tired"

"Nonsense,I enjoy spending time with you"

His words made your heart skip a beat,"As do I" standing in the shallow end of the pool you passed by the two high schoolers,who were racing each other. Now bouncing on you tip toes Avdol turned to face you with his arms out.

"Now,come to me,let me see how well you can push through the water" speaking of water,it took everything in you not to just stop and stare at the water lovely rolling down his chest and down his nip- NO! no lewd thoughts!!!

Pushing off the smooth,concrete you awkwardly 'swam' twords the man,bumping head first into his chest. You clutched onto his body once you realized your toes could no longer touch the bottom. It felt like an earthquake,his laughter that is.

"I-i know I can't swim very well, do not mock me" you muttered hidding your face in shame.

"Forgive me,please,your just so cute I couldn't help it," he pushed a strand of fair out of your face sweetly.

" 'm not cute" you pouted at him.

He laughed again,what you wouldn't give to be able to hear is once more,"sorry,now then let me see you doggy paddle" he backed up,this time farther.

"D-doggy paddle?! I am no dog Avdol-San!"

"___,do you know what a doggy paddle is?" He questioned.

.
.
.
"I...I do not"

"Its fine if you dont," he came back rasing his hands above water,"the goal,as the name suggests,is to swim like a dog,by kicking your legs and arms in a circular motion,much like a bike"

"A bike?" You backed up and tried paddling like a dog,you made choppy strokes in the water,nose slightly going under you accidentally inhailed some pool water and got some in your eyes,it burned makeing you stop and you forgot you weren't on the shallow side making you panic for a split moment before a pair of strong, warm hands grabbed you by the hips and moved you back over to the shallow side. You instantly grabbed onto what skin was available,that also being his very,nice and very firm ass.

"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry! I didn't mean to-I ment to grab your arm-I"

His thumb flicked the water out of your eye,"its ok,___,you were scared and grabbed the closest thing you could find,its all right" he said,ohhh that smile was going to kill you!

"Oi! The foods here!" Jotaros voice boomed,stealing his attention from you.

"Ah lets continue this after we eat yes?" He turned his back to you,"care for a lift?"

"Y-yes please!" Wrapping your arms around his broad shoulders you clung onto him like a koala.Every stroke he made you could feel his muscles shift and move and then all too soon it ended,"thank you very much"

"Think nothing of it," he smiled,walking over towrds the table

'You want his attention right then compliment him! Tell him he has lovely eyes or something the first thing that comes to Mind!' The voice you usually ignored yelled at you.

'And what if I make a fool of myself?! No!'

'Come onnnn its Avdol! What is the worst that could happen?'

"Ok fine!" Picking up speed you shyly grabbed onto his larger hand,"u-um Avdol-san"

He stopped dead in his tracks,"yes?"

"You-"

'Tell him he has a nice ass!'
'No way! Tell him his eyes are beautiful'
You could almost see a devil and angle sitting on your shoulders arguing. And in that moment your brain decided to have a 404 error," you have a beautiful ass!"

"..." the fry in Polnareffs mouth fell out.

"..." Joseph's grip on his coke fell,"shit!"

"..." Kakyoin hid his smile behind his food.

"...good grief" Jotaro pulled his cap down over his eyes as you quickly began to realize what in buddas name you had just said.

Lady in lace appeared behind and started knitting the last strand of lace you had in your hair into a large cacoon so you could promptly curl up and die in it.

"Well....that was interesting" Joseph coughed into his fist.

'I see her attempts at flirting went south' Polnareff sighed,sticking a spoon covered in ice cream in his mouth.

"I think I know how to fix this,"avdol picked up the small cake he'd ordered as a dessert,stepping over to the large lace cacoon he stugged at the strands,"___,please open up,I have something for you..."
.
.
.
You made no move to open up,you couldn't face him after what had just spilled from your mouth! Not ever! Nothing could change your mind not even-

"I have some chocolate cake that I need help finishing," a small flap of lace opened up revealing your small hand,"dont you want a plate?"

You made the 'gimme' motion with your hand,shrugging Avdol placed the cake slice in a small napkin in your hand,it vanished back into the cocoon. It reminded him of the first time you two had shared the sweet treat.

After the fight with Maria ,Avdol and joseph had come back tired and sore along with wounded egos.

While Jotaro and Polnareff destoryed their lungs outside,you played with Kakyoins hair,braiding his iconic noodle as they wobbled back to the hotle.

"Mr.joestar,Avdol-san,would you two care for anything to drink?" You offered,both of them were sweating and tired it was the least you could do. Digging around for drink,room service had swung by dropping off an assortment of snacks and lovely looking cake that you tried very hard not to drool over.

Handing Avdol and Mr.joestar their drinks his voice snapped you out of your staring.

"Would you care for a slice?"

You must have been staring awfully hard, "oh no! I couldn't"

He held out the fork"I insist!"

"Well then.." a gleeful smile graced your lips,"mmmmh!" So sweet! So rich and warm and ohhhh it just tasted so good!

"Good?" Your reaction to the cake was just adorable!

"Its perfect! I haven't had sweets since I was a child!"

"Then you can have it"

"I couldn't! This is yours!" You tried to give back but all he did was place a warm hand over yours and smile.

"Seeing you happy is enough for me" your heart was a flutter

"___,please come out"

You shoved more cake In your mouth.

"Please,___,I'm not mad you just,caught me off guard is all"

"Come on,__!" Polnareff yelled,smacking your lace coon,"if you dont say anything it might be too late"

You swallowed,was this really ok? You wanted to be able to hold Avdols hand and hear his laughter bug what if things didn't work out? What if you never see each other again? Or he dosent feel the same way? Those thoughts piled up in your head but at the same time Avdol made you feel something you'd never felt,you were sure if this was 'love' or just a crush? but...it couldn't hurt to try? Right? How did that saying go?You miss all the shots you dont take?

Undoing you lace cacoon took a deep breath and fiddled with the sharp,blade like lace between your fingers and readied your confession.

Looking up into deep brown eyes you made your declaration! "Avdol-san! I wish to pursue your heart and affection! Please allow me the opportunity to court you!"

"Oh!" Surprise was writen all over his face,clearly he wasn't expecting such a bold statement.

"I wish to treat you to lunch tomorrow! Please do me the honor of accompanying me!" You added if you were going all the way then it was either go big or go home! Histation is defeat! You learnrd that from your last fight with Dios minion.

"I gladly accept your offer,now then shall we eat?"

"We shall!"

That had gone alot smoother than you'd expect.
