"Oh, here they come now!" You heard Anne's voice as you and Jotaro reached the top of the stairs. Of course she noticed him immediately. Jotaro stood out in a crowd like a lighthouse did for ships.

Peeking out from behind the giant's back, you saw Anne wave at the two of you and you waved back with a closed-eyed smile. Seeing you back to your usual happy self made Anne beam a smile back to you before she beckoned you over.

You did as she asked and she held the phone out for you. "They want to speak with you." She explained and you silently 'ooh'ed, taking the phone and holding it up to your ear.

"G'hello?" You answered.

"Y/N, finally!" Mr. Joestar's voice blasted through the horn and you yelped a little as you tore it away from your ear. Gingerly putting it back, you heard Avdol scold the older man in the background, making you want to chuckle to yourself. Looking behind you, you noticed Jotaro wasn't there and you looked around to see him buying some tickets for the cable cars a little further down the station. "Ah, sorry." Mr. Joestar's voice piped up again, making you turn your gaze away from your classmate and back forward. "What happened? Anne said Jotaro was attacked by a fake Kakyoin but now it is fine?" There was another voice on the other end speaking something that you couldn't hear. "Yea, yea, I'm getting to it." Mr. Joestar then answered to whoever spoke before turning back to talk to you. "Real Kakyoin also wants to know why you just bolted away all of a sudden."

"Ah." You chuckled a little awkwardly, scratching your head. "Anne is right, all is fine now. It was a Stand user disguised as Kakyoin and I suddenly realized that, that's why I ran away without warning. Not my best move, sorry. But, Jotaro defeated the user with practically no injuries so we're now just going to go and buy those train tickets like planned." You felt someone come up behind you as you spoke and you looked back to see Jotaro. He nodded his head towards the cable cars and you got the message. "Ah, our ride is here so we'll see you at the hotel later."

"Alright, stay safe and out of trouble."

With that, you hung the phone back on its hook and turned around, ready to go. Jotaro had his hands back in his pockets and started walking towards the coming cable car. Anne grabbed onto your hand as you started following and not a minute later, you three were in the vehicle and on your way up.

You and Anne sat opposite of Jotaro as the car started moving, the thing shuddering slightly as it moved past the wheels of one of the posts holding the entire system up.

As the scenery moved past you had a beautiful view of the city and you just silently looked around, enjoying the ride.

Turning around, you looked back at the station to see a man pick up the phone you had just been using and a thought swept through your head.

"You think I should call my mom to let her know I survived that plane crash? I'm sure it was broadcasted on the news in Japan." You turned back to sit normally in your seat, briefly crossing eyes with Jotaro.

"Yare yare daze, you're only thinking to do that now?"

You chuckled a little nervously, seeing the fault in it while Jotaro stared you down with a disbelieving look.

"You guys were in a plane crash?" Anne suddenly piped up from next to you and you turned your head to look at her.

"Ah, yeah."

"Man, everything seems to go wrong around you guys, huh?"

"You have no idea."

Arriving at the train station after a bit of walking through the city, it only took a few minutes for Jotaro to buy train tickets for all the Crusaders – minus Anne of course.

"Well, I'd call that a job well done!" You placed your hands on your hips, a smile on your face as you proudly puffed out your chest; took care of getting train tickets and defeating a Stand user, all in the same trip. And all of that with minimal damage.

Jotaro looked at you for a second before tipping his hat down and walking past you, muttering a 'Yare yare daze'.

His lack of enthusiasm made you shrug before you willed your legs to follow him again, already feeling the sore-ness of them. That was gonna be fun to live with tomorrow.

As you walked along, Anne suddenly grabbed your hand with her left and pulled you along with herself, running up and grabbing Jotaro's sleeve with her free right hand. He looked down for a second but saw it was only Anne, his eyes trailing past her figure to see your hand held captive same as his sleeve was. He huffed a little in amusement – inaudible for anyone but himself – but then just returned to looking forward, allowing the girl to hold onto you both. Sure, you three were taking up the entire sidewalk but he didn't give shit, people could just walk around.

You on the other hand, felt bad for dickishly taking up the entire sidewalk and just kept sending apologetic glances to the people who had to walk around your little train. Anne didn't seem to notice and was just animatedly chatting about something to both you and Jotaro, you didn't know what about. You had zoned out and only payed enough attention now to know when you had to hum or make another noise in answer to her story to make it seem as if you were listening.

Something to your left suddenly caught your attention and you gasped softly, stopping in your tracks and tugging softly on Anne's arm, which made her automatically tug on Jotaro's. They both turned to look at you and you pointed to a shop across the street. "Jotaro, look! It's a sewing shop, you can get your button fixed in there!"

His eyes followed your arm to where you were pointing and sure enough, there was a sign sporting a needle and thread with the name of the shop underneath it.

Jotaro seemed to debate it for a second but then walked up to the edge of the sidewalk, intent on crossing the road.

In response, you tugged on Anne's hand again to stop the both of them before letting go of her hand and she surprisingly let go of yours too, allowing you to hold out your hands in a questioning manner.

Jotaro stopped when he felt the small tug on his arm again and looked back to notice you weren't next to him and Anne anymore.

"O-Oi! We can't jaywalk!" You said when he turned to look at you with an annoyed look.

"Why?"

"Uhhh, because it is illegal?" You responded, just barely refraining from saying 'duh' at the end.

"We're just walking across a fucking street. The police have their hands too filled with Polnareff to notice anyways." He smirked a little at his own comment before taking his right hand out of his pocket and taking a step back to grab your hand.

"E-Eh?" You asked in surprised confusion, not expecting the action. His large hand curled around your smaller one, holding on firmly before giving a small tug. You just looked at the appendages in surprise only to suddenly be dragged along as Jotaro crossed the street, him not waiting for you to snap out of it before doing so.

Your eyes widened in shock but you stayed quiet, instead opting to walk alongside the giant instead of being towed. Surprisingly enough though, when you caught up with him, he didn't let go of you like he usually did. In fact he almost seemed to hold on a little tighter. You just blamed it on Jotaro not wanting you to be hit, should you zone out again and stop walking. In fact, you chose to purposefully ignore his action. Just like you chose to ignore how comfortable your hand sitting in his felt.

Once you reached the other side of the street safe and sound, you sent a pouty glare his way, making Jotaro roll his eyes and release your hand so he could push your head down and stop you from glaring at him. This made you break your little silent protest and giggle slightly before you shook your head and looked up to take a good look at the sign of the shop.

Jotaro moved inside with Anne still hanging on his sleeve and you followed them. Once you got through the doors however, you broke off from your little group to look around a bit.

It was a small and quaint shop, clearly a small self-owned establishment. As if to confirm your suspicions, an old lady came wondering from the backroom, clearly alerted by the small bell at the top of the door. You smiled as she approached the tall delinquent without a hint of fear or hesitation, a welcoming smile on her face.

He held a small conversation with the woman, most likely talking about what he wanted done but you were busy walking around the shop, only joining back up with him once he was done talking.

The woman asked to take his jacket and the button so she could fix it and he nodded, freeing his arm from Anne's grip and putting his hand inside his jacket, retrieving his wallet and a small booklet from an inside coat pocket and putting it in his pants pocket. You never even knew his jacket had such a feature but now that you thought about it, it was an incredibly useful thing to have.

"Man, I wish I had an inside pocket." You practically had stars in your eyes as you watched Jotaro pull the stuff from within his coat.

"We're in a sewing shop, get one made." Jotaro furrowed his brows in a questioning glance, as if it was obvious.

You shook your head back and forth, snapping you out of your state of awe. "Ah no, it's fine. I was only musing." You waved the idea away. "I don't have money anyways."

"Give me a break." Jotaro sighed loudly. "Oi." He then called out a little louder and the woman who ran the shop turned around. "Can you make her an inside pocket in her jacket?" It was more of a statement than a question but the old lady just beamed a happy smile and nodded, shuffling over and motioning to your jacket.

A little stunned by Jotaro's sudden action, you took it off and handed it to her. Just then you got a thought and took a tentative step forward. "Ah... Could you perhaps make it closable? With a zipper or button at the top?" You didn't want to inconvenience her more or make your little rag-tag group stay here longer than necessary, but having it be closable seemed very important, given how often you had already been thrown around on this trip. If you were to actually put stuff in there, you'd prefer if it stayed in, no matter what you were up to.

"Of course, dear." She smiled fondly. "It'll cost a little extra but it should be done in no time."

You bit your lip slightly and Jotaro just sighed again. "Yare yare, that's fine." He said before you could say anything and sent you a look to stay quiet.

You obliged and just kept your lips sealed shut, watching the woman nod before shuffling to the backroom again, both your and Jotaro's jacket in her arms.

There were a few chairs to the side and Jotaro pushed you towards them, taking a seat himself before looking at you expectantly when you were still standing there. You quickly cleared your throat and took a seat beside him. "Uhm, thanks." You said after a short pause, not looking at him and instead looking around for Anne, only to see her roaming the small shop as you had done previously.

"Don't mention it. Call it payback for running all the way from the hotel to try and help me."

You let out a short, unamused laugh at the memory. "Pretty sure you could've handled it without me. I could have been relaxing by a pool at this time but instead here I am, exhausted and in the company of you and little bouncy ball over there." You motioned to Anne, finally turning to face Jotaro with a small smirk on your face. "Like seriously how much sugar did you give her?"

"You're annoying, you know that?" Jotaro grumbled back but you knew there was no ill will behind his words, only making you grin a little bit wider. You just let out a teasing hum, nodding your head as if you agreed, which made Jotaro slightly glare at you. This caused you to snicker a little before you both fell into silence.

You watched Anne walk around for a little while as she went around, touching and testing the materials, but your eyes slowly drifted over to the delinquent next to you. Just like this morning when you saw him without his jacket, you couldn't help but marvel at the sheer mass of muscle he held.

"Hey, how much do you work out?" You broke the silence and Jotaro turned his eyes to study your face.

"Why?"

"Why? Because look at this." You poked the muscles on his arm, making him furrow his eyebrows. "This is almost ridiculous." You giggled slightly but retracted your finger.

"A lot." Was all he spoke and you snorted through your nose in amusement while still eyeing his muscles. "Don't tell me you are becoming like one of those annoying bitches at school." There was a clear discomfort and disgust in the tone of his voice.

His sentence made something akin to a record scratch sound in your head and you reeled back a bit. To Jotaro's surprise however, instead of a bright blush like he was used to, you had your lip curled up in disgust. "Oh god no." You fake gagged a little to the side. "No offence to you Jotaro, you're good. But I will never ever ever be like one of your fangirls at school." You shuddered in horror at the mere thought of it, much to Jotaro's amusement. In all honesty, he was very glad to hear you say that. If you had devolved to become another one of the annoying squealing girls and he actually had to travel with you for the next coming weeks with no escape... he'd rather not think about what his sanity would devolve to. "If I ever show any symptoms of it, of acting like how those girls act, just destroy me. Don't care how, just do it. I wouldn't be able to live with myself."

Jotaro huffed a bit in amusement. "Didn't you just do exactly that?" He questioned and you let out a confused 'huh?'. "The way you were ogling at me is pretty damn accurate to what they do."

"Whoa hey!" You quickly held your hands in front of your face but amusement danced in your eyes. "There is a difference. I was just wondering how the fuck you got so buff and I gotta say, I'm impressed. Your fangirls however only drool over the look of it." You slapped his upper arm with the back of your hand with a small chuckle. "I gotta say though, I can get why those girls at school kept clinging onto your arms if this is what they felt through that jacket of yours. Must have been a horny amplifier for them." You openly burst out laughing at your own terrible humour, closing your eyes as you bent forward. This caused you to miss the small flash of a smile in Jotaro at your laugh, who was back to his usual stoicism once you calmed down.

"Since when did you get so talkative? I thought you were a quiet girl. You were much less annoying when you were afraid of me."

"I told you, you have a way of bringing people out of their shell." You winked and Jotaro only sighed. You figured that was enough teasing and joking around for the day, settling back into silence as you just leaned back into the chair.

Several minutes passed on in silence and you slowly started to nod off a bit, fatigue once again catching up with you.

That was, until you were lightly slapped on your shoulder. "W-Wha-?" You sat up a bit, trying to seem as if you weren't just falling asleep.

"Don't fall asleep, that woman should be done any minute now." You took in a deep breath and nodded to that, sitting a little more upright to try and wake yourself up more. "That Yellow Temperance idiot told me about the other Stand users hunting us." Jotaro then spoke and this caused you to immediately wake up, sitting upright and leaning forward as you looked at him next to you.

"Really?"

He hummed in confirmation. "Death, The Hanged Man, The Empress and The Emperor. Those four of the Tarot Cards are after us." You sighed heavily and scratched the back of your head, thinking about what those Stands could possibly do. You should probably ask Avdol if he knew any of those. Maybe that could give you the upper hand. But before your mind could wander any further, Jotaro continued. "And also, two more; not of the Tarot Deck just like your Stand." This caught your attention and you turned your head in confusion, akin to a puppy. "Black Disease and Rust is what he said they were called."

"Hm." That was the only noise you let out for a bit as you put your hand on your chin in thought. "They all sound fun."

Jotaro scoffed at your statement and just then, Anne walked over to the two of you, apparently having gotten enough perusing for the day. She plopped herself down on the closest chair which was next to Jotaro and just looked between you two for a bit, wondering why you looked so serious. Before she got the chance to ask though, the lady came out from the back and Jotaro immediately stood up, walking over and taking his coat.

He put it on and inspected the button for a little bit, seemingly satisfied, while at the same time, you walked up behind him, taking your own jacket from the woman and turning over the lapel, looking at the inside where now sat a beautifully sown in, decently sized pocket, complete with zipper.

You beamed at the well done work, especially ecstatic at the size of the pocket. Finally, finally, you had a pocket you could actually fit something into. And it even had a zipper that wasn't too big so it wouldn't poke at your breast!

"This is perfect, thank you!" You honestly thanked the woman, giving her a genuine openhearted smile, showing off your pearly whites.

Seeing that you were content with the work as well, Jotaro payed what was owed and turned around without a word as he walked out of the shop.

You thanked the woman once more before saying goodbye and urging Anne to follow, the two of you running after the tall teen into the streets of Singapore.

Personally, I usually don't really like when people work their own fabricated enemy Stands into SDC reader inserts. So, why am I doing it? Cause the need for fluff with Jootdoot exceeds my logical thinking. Head empty, no thoughts, only Joot fluff.
