Music across time |Gyro | Johnny

Staying up all night to keep watch over camp was stupidly boring. Not to mention having to do so by yourself! There were atleast ten of you and the guy,what was his name? Gyro? Had passed out a long time ago. You tried to be mad at him but you could see the man had gotten shot several times,so you let it slide.

You checked your watch,four thirty at night,your shift would be over once the sun rose. Which sucked major balls,why did you have to be the last watch?! It was probably cause you were a woman! Stupid egotistical men! Oh well,no use crying about it now.

Picking up a large stick you stuck it into the medium sized bon fire. You often checked, every five to ten minutes, that everyone was safe. No Scorpions on anyones hat,or poisonous spider ready to bite someones hand off. Nothing dangerous,good, now it was time to check the horses.

"Venta,come here girl" at the sound of her name being called your pitch black horse made its way over to you, "good girl" you planted kisses all on her muzzle,which she returned with messy sniffs of your hair and face,"ewww heh,you been keeping guard for me?"

She blinked and nugged your hand,clearly wanting to be scratched.

"Ill take that as yes," you yawned,teetering on your feet, "you know what Venta? I dont think I'll be able to move tomorrow" your sleep pattern was completely thrown off! Flopping next to her,while keeping the buring stick far from your face you started to hum, "I dont want to set the world on fire,I just want to start a flame in your heart~" you cant remember the name of the song,only that you'd heard it once in a bar.

"I'v lost all ambison,or worldly acclaim,I just want to be the one you love~" resting you head against the rock you stared deep into the fire and continued singing to Venta softly,unknowingly that you'd already woken a few of the riders up.

"Johnny, hey! Johnny! Wake the hell up!" Gyro rolled one of his steel balls into his friends face.

"Wha?"

"look at this" he lifted up his shirt,revealing the bullet wounds from last nights shoot out to claim this camping spot near a watering hole. His skin was growing back,the metal from the bullets came fall out of his injuries too not even leaving a scar. "Hey move your hat out of the way!" Gyro pulled his star covered at back and sure enough the gun wound scar that he'd gotten from that time reversing bastard was gone.

"And I feel better too! Who do you think the stand user is?" Among the sleeping bodies that shifted in sleeping bags and blankets neither of them could tell,it was too dark,even with a first fews beams of dawn cracking.

"In my heart i have but one desire and that one is you no other will do~"

The soft singing of a woman caught Johnnys ears. Someone else was up?

"Iv lost all ambition, or worldly acclaim I just want to be the one you love and with your permission that you feel the same,Ill have reached the goal im dreaming of believe me~" he couldn't see her face very well but it was clear she was up and awake longer than either of them as she dropped a stick that had fire on the end of it onto the ground.

"Think she's a user?"

"Theres also a possibility that she's a terrorist,dont let your guard down" Johnny dug for his pistol inside his sleeping bag while Gyro undid the straps holding his steel balls in.

"But don't you think its weird?"

"Iv seen alot weird shit these past few days Gyro,gotta be more specific"

"Let me finish asshole,don't you think its weird that if she was after us and the corpse she would have done something by now?" He flexed his arm and flicked his wrist, "because I feel alot better than I did last night" he watched the woman stand and pet her horse then dig for something in its bag.

"Here she comes"

Johnny pulled his gun closer twords him as the woman came closer.

"Morning boys,sleep well?" You asked, "its Gyro right? I saw you had some wounds so," you handed him a small med kit, "I figured thats why you conked out on me so early,I thought for sure id have someone to talk too besides Venta" you teased offering the small metal box.

"Thanks Doll face" he took the box and pulled his shirt over his head.

"Doll face?" You flushed at the name and at his bare chest,most men usually called you 'lady',never something as soft as doll face.

"You mind helping this old cowboy?" He flashed his blinding gold teeth.

"Gyro" Johnny warned.

"S-sure! Just so you know im not very good so dont go expecting-," you yawned "-perfection" you moved behind the taller rider and wrapped the medical bandage around some very redish looking marks, which was weird cause you could have sworn that he had alot more. Wrapping the rest of his back up you suddenly felt fatigue hit you like a ambulance and landed face first in a ocean of long,blond hair.

"You ok back there doll face?"
.
.
.
No answer but he did feel her hands fall down to his hips and latch on like a koala, "woah,easy with the nails doll" Gyro raised his arm to look behind him. She'd fallen asleep sitting up.

"Like a horse" Johnny commented, it must have been uncomfortable sitting up like that.

"Shit,now I remember where she's from,I was supposed to keep watch with her" he felt kinda bad,not only did she keep watch she even gave him something for his wounds!

"Wow... I guess that makes you a huge dick then huh?" Johnny pulled himself out of his sleeping bag.

"Dont gulit trip me! Hey,little lady!" He raised his arm again, trying to get the sleeping womans attention. She only sighed and buried her face deeper into his back which made him shiver.

"Pervert"

"Your just pissed cause you don't have a cute lady hanging off you! Nyohoho!" He bragged,"come on,its time we head on out"

"The sun hasn't even come up" he popped his fingers.

"Thats never stopped us before yeesh!" He flinched when her nails dug deeper into his exposed skin,damn they were long! Pulling his shirt back on Gyro easily moved the sleeping woman from his back to his front, "besides,its the least we can do"

"I didn't know you had a soft spot for sleeping ladies,I'm not one to kinkshame but-"

"Johnny I will back hand you so god damn hard I'll knock the stars off your stand" An empty threat which said Joestar laughed at,"I'm glad you find it so funny,here,you hold her im going to go refill our canteens"

"Wai-Gyro!" Propping the nice lady up next to his friend Gyro 'nyhohoed' all the way to the watering hole, "damn him" sitting up completely Johnny shivered slightly at her breath hitting his neck. He hadn't had a girl this close to him ever since he'd gotten shot. It was...nostalgic,he'd almost forgotten how good close contact felt. Her head felt even lower,now resting on his shoulder blade.

Jeez,she must have been exhausted to be sleeping this hard!

"Im back! Dawww look at you two! All snuggled up together" Gyro teased calling Vlakaria over.

"Shut it,slow dancer!" His horse came trotting over,sniffing at Johnnys head then leaning over to get a good whiff of the woman leaning on him. Thats when another pitch black horse stomped over,shoving Slow dancer out of the with possessive whines and stomps.

"Wazz wrong? Venta?" You jerked awake, odd you dont remeber falling asleep? Weren't you helping someone? A guy?

"Hey,can you get your horse under control before she tramples us?"

Sitting up your nose bumped into someone elses and your eyes made contact with two very pretty blue eyes. "Oh! Im sorry!" You pulled back sharply,very embarrassed to have been so close to the man. The only male youd ever been that close too was your father! "Venta! Shhh! Why are you so fussy! You'll wake everyone else up" you scolded lightly,Venta has always been rather possessive.

"Venta? Sure as hell matches,Iv never seen a coat that dark before" Gyro patted Venta on neck.

"Shes quiet proud of it too! Vain little thing I swear" you kissed her muzzle again.

"Catch,anyways doll face,me'n Johnny are hitting the tracks,you wanna come with?" He fixed his hat while Johnny got back on slow dancers back.

"You don't mind? I tend to get loud when Im excited! And I sing alot too so that might get annoying I dont wanna throw off yalls groove" not to mention you were a bit shy!

"Look its fine,you seem like a pretty trust worthy person so tag along if you want" Johnny took a sip of his water, "just so you know we arent slowing down"

"Gotcha!" This was exciting! Usually you would ride with large groups but It would be so boring because no noe ever wanted to chat. But with how these two acted,you had a feeling that wouldn't be the case, "Oh thats right I never gave my name!" You gave your first and last with tilt of the head.

"Gyro zeppelie,hope you enjoy the ride"

"Johnny Joestar,Make sure you don't fall behind"

And with introductions out of the way the three of you rode off,one step closer to finishing the race.

But their names sounded so familiar,where had you heard them?
Racking your brain you tried hard to remember just where youd-

'Oh my god!' You cursed yourself for being so forgetful! Gyro zeppelie was one of the top ten on the leaderboard! And Johnny joestar was a famous jockey before the shooting! This was so exciting! You'd never met any famous people before! "Isn't this exciting Venta!?" You yelled over the wind.

"Exciting is one way to put it" Gyro pulled his goggles over his eyes.

The ride to the next watering hole was a three hour trip and so far,neither corpse holders had to deal with any terrorists on the way! It really did feel like smooth sailing!

"The watering hole should be around this rock"

"You mean this giant micro mountain?" The huge slab of rock was covering half of the water hole by its shadow.

"My my,It is pretty big" you'd never seen such a huge slab of earth like this. Bringing Venta closer to the water you and the other two riders dismounted. Digging into your bag you pulled out a few sandwiches you had about twelve of them packed away from the last town you were at, "do you guys want a sandwhich? I didn't bring any condiments with me sorry" you held out two ham sandwiches.

"Ohhh! Meat! Johnny catch!" Taking the plastic wrapped sandwhich Gyro tossed it at his friends face.

"Gyro you are such a bitch!" Johnny rubbed his nose,true it didn't really hurt but still!

"You two must be close"

"We're something alright!"

"Please,I'd sell Gyro on the blackmarket for a roastbeef sandwich"

"Well screw you too!"

You snickered at the two bickering,it was always nice to see friends getting along! Tearing you lunch in two you have half to Venta and slowly finished yours off,you were a bit of a slow eater.

"I live in a house with tin roof~ everytime it rains I can hear my-" you hummed the next part,unable to remember all the words. Looking out across the water as other riders came to stop and drink, "close your eyes and hear my secrets~" you'd completely zoned out.

"Gyro,watch this" digging his pocket knife into his palm,a small droplet of blood sat running down his hand. Wiping the blood away he could now see that the wound had now completely closed up.

"Looks like we were right,Doll faces got a stand too, which means! We got ourselves a doctor!" Gyro grinned with that schemer look in his eyes.

"Even if she does have one what makes you think she'll ride with us,we've got terrorists on our ass!"

"We don't! Doll face gets some company and we get songstress nurse,Id say thats a win-win" he finished off his lunch.

"And what happenes when we get attacked? Can she even defend herself? And what about 'woman being bad luck' ?"

"Aww such a gentleman! If things get hairy we ditch her,once things calm down we meet back up Besides,its like have a lil music box" he faced the woman, "say doll face,you take requests?"

A win-win deal huh? Well if Gyro had the confidence to keep her from getting killed then he'd just have to trust him.

"Gyah! Me?" You pointed to yourself.

"Yeah! Since your always humming you might as well sing us something"

"Oh no I'm not very good,my voice cracks sometimes and I yawn in the middle of verses-"

"Aw come on doll face,I'll even sing with you! Ill have you know im something of a musical genius myself!"

"Gyro if you get that stupid pizza song stuck in my head again! I swear I'll-"

"You'll what Johnny? Shoot me!? Your bullets are weak as hell!" The two started throwing meaningless insults at each other,it reminded you of your brother.

"These two radiate big Cain instinct huh Venta?" You pulled a leaf from her mane. These two were so energetic! You hoped you'd be able to keep up with them in the long run as the three you continued onwards to the next town.

The road was mostly clear save a few snakes and roadrunners,which you cood at.

"Awww Johnny look at him!" You easily leaned off the side of Venta and picked up a rattle snake by the head,"isn't it pretty!"

He looked at you like you'd grown a second before smacking it out of your hands," woman are you nuts!? Why the hell would you pick up a snake like that?!"

"He was cute!" You countered.

"No! It was dangerous! Gyro back me up here!"

"Nyo ho! Is johnny scared of a little snake?"

"I hate you both"

"Aww I love you too Johnny!" You blew him a kiss.

"Dwah Shut it" the smallest of blushes kissed his ears and the tip of his nose.

"My,My Johnny! Are you blushing?" You teased,riding a bit closer to the blond,you reached over pulled his chin twords you,putting a small kiss on the corner of his lips.

"You- I thought you said you were shy!" Now his ears were red.

"Only to the those I dont like,Yall are just so nice and friendly I couldn't help it!"

"And What about me? Dont I get some suger?" Gyro complained,pointing to his face.

"How could I forget!" Turning his face to the side you pepper his cheek in kisses.

He had a stupid grin on his face,"and dont forget this side"

"Of of course!" And you smothered his other cheek in kisses too.

"God you are such an attention whore Gyro"

"Stay Mad boy,a real man knows to get something when he wants it"

"Oh whatever!"

And the rest of the ride was spent in playful teasing and embarrassing stories.
