Kiss me, Mister Joestar! (fanfic)
A Victorian gay man is madly in love with the sweetest gentleman. His love for him is so overwhelming that everyone around them seems to have noticed it already, including said gentleman's wife, who our sweet gay icon has become close friends with...
Is Jonathan really /that/ painfully oblivious to it all? Or could there be something more going on...? Whatever it might be, it's driving Robert insane, and things start getting even tougher on the matter for Speedwagon after the birthday party the Joestars threw for him.
A story written for Speedwagon's birthday, as you can tell by now.
Happy belated 156th birthday, you sweet dork!! <3 (posted it on the 16th on Ao3 but forgot to bring it here orz)
* * * * *
Pairings: Jonathan/Erina /&/ Jonathan/Speedwagon
* * * * *
More details and the whole fic under the cut... (if Read Mores donât work for you and you donât want to see this post, feel free to block the ;long post tag)
Notes: The story is set in 1889, a little less than a year after the events in PB. Itâs also an AU where Jonathan lives. Everything went down the same as in canon, save for the fact that Dio died in Windknight's Lot (or at least he hasn't come back since). Jonathan's and Erina's honeymoon went as smoothly as it should have. Jonathan is also now an archaeologist, working on his many different researches on Aztec culture mainly. The rest more or less remains the same as in canon, including Speedwagon being helplessly in love with Jonathan.
In this story (and any other of my stories involving the Ogre Street gang), the Kenpo Master will be referred to as Li. That's the name I've given him: Li Jiang. I also have this headcanon that "Tattoo" is not the red-head's name, but a nickname he adopted after getting that trademark tattoo on his face (his name being Stephen OâMoore, but he's still addressed as Tattoo most of the time for his own personal reasons anyway).
Fun fact I just realized while writing this story: Just like this year's (2019) Oct 16th fell on a Wednesday, 1889's Oct 16th also fell on a Wednesday (cue a loud OH MY GOD).
Warnings: Thereâs a depiction of tobacco smoking. There are also a few mentions/depictions of pregnancy, and the usual cursing our dear Robert has us used to. Also âmentionsâ of period-typical homophobia.
Soft chuckles and giggles could be heard coming from behind the closed doors of the tea room. A bit of a feat, considering how espacious the room was. Inside, two blondes comfortably sat in the large, cushioned, armchairs around the tea table, talking about all sorts of stuff over tea and pastries, filling each other in on the otherâs news and sharing a laugh every now and then and just enjoying each other's company like they would normally do on evenings like this. It was getting late, and the time to say goodbye for the night was getting closer.
"I enjoyed spendin' this evenin' with you, Miss Joestar. As always, it was a wonderful one!"
"You don't have to keep up the formalities, Robert. We have been friends for how long now?" She made a brief pause. A rhetorical question that both knew didn't need an answer. "Just call me Erina." A kind smile graced her delicate features. He nodded, still feeling a bit inadequate to address any of the Joestars by their first names, but he couldnât simply say no to them. "And, the feeling is mutual. It is always a pleasure to have you here. I just wish Jonathan could have been able to join us today."
"He's still workin' on that thesis, isnât he?" A soft nod of her head was given in response.
"He says he is almost done with it. It is also due next weekâs Monday, so he has had to work extra hours on it these past days." There's a sense of pride in her voice despite how much she wished she could have had more time to spend with him as of late.
"I'm completely sure 'is 'ard work 's gonna pay off." It always did. Jonathan was truly a hard working man, not only on the battlefield, but also in everything he did, always giving his all. Not to mention how passionate he was about his field.
"I have no doubts about it. Now, about that weekâs Wednesday..."
"Oh. Please, don't burden yourself with that!" The man was quick to reply. "It 's nothin' special at all!"
"Come on. Don't be silly, Robert." The lady offered an even warmer smile and put her hand on top of Robert's as it rested on the table, giving it a soft and friendly squeeze. "It is all the opposite to 'nothing'. And it most certainly is special, too. And I'm completely sure Jonathan thinks so, too." Well, there was no arguing to that as Speedwagon could almost hear the brunet echoing his wife's words while giving Robert a pat to his shoulder. StillâŚ
"But, Miss Joestâ" Erina gave him a look and Robert tried again. "Ahh. Sorry... Erina. Blimey. It 's just, I... I wouldn't want t' impose and be a burden tâ any of you..."
"And you won't be. Never have been such, and I assure you that will not be the case either. Besides, this will be the first time we get to celebrate your birthday together, and I know Jonathan is just as excited as if this was his own birthday." She let out a soft chuckle, and she withdrew her hand, placing it this time on top of her pregnant belly. "And I can tell this little one is excited, too." Robert couldn't help a fond smile at all that. He certainly couldn't âand wouldnât eitherâ let any of the three down in any possible way. Not in this life or the next one (and every other lives that could come after that).
"Alrigh', but only if you're sure this 's not a hindrance t' you or Mister Joâ.... T' Jonathan."
"You have my word on that. Please, come visit us again for the date. And bring your friends, too. The maids will make sure everything is ready for the occasion. You don't have to worry about anything at all besides gracing us with your presence and having fun." She added with such a kind tone to her voice that it made it impossible for Speedwagon to add any "buts" to the conversation.
âI swear you two are too kind tâ me sometimesâŚâ
âYou deserve it.â She added with absolute honesty. âYou have always done so much for us, and for Jonathan, mainly. It is the least we can do for you.â
âItâs nothinâ grand. Iâm just doinâ my part on repayinâ Jojo for all âis kindness and everythinâ heâs done for me since we met.â
âYou always make it sound like everything you do for us is insignificant, Robert, but I assure you it is not. We truly appreciate all of your actions. And I know you are so very special to Jonathan as much as he is to you.â Robert couldnât help the blush that was now creeping up to his face, even though Erina voicing that sort of knowledge she had was not new by now. She had long ago found out about his true feelings for Jonathan, never having any issues with it at all.
Erina was fully aware of how easy it was to love Jonathan, and she also knew some of the story between Robert and him. She had also been perceptive enough to understand that there was something more to those apparent âcodesâ in Robertâs general appearance, which was far different from that of most gentlemen in England. That had been something Robert gladly explained for her as their friendship grew and both became more comfortable around each other, letting her know that, indeed, there was a meaning to them all, and that he had always had a liking for men. Whatever fear or worries he could have had until then about letting her know something as delicate as that faded away almost immediately after informing her of his situation as she never made any sorts of disgusting comments, nor gave him any weird looks nor treated him poorly, like many others would have probably done. All the opposite, all he ever got from her was sympathy without any kinds of judgement, and all her support.
And it never ceased, not even after he finally caved in, some time later, and admitted to her his undying feelings for Jonathan. It didnât take her by surprise when he did, though. Then again, Robert had always had a tendency to be quite transparent about his feelings for the gentleman even when he tried not to. It had always been crystal clear that his admiration for him went far beyond a simple friendship, and that there was so much more that was still left unsaid. Something deeper. Something vastly more meaningful and everlasting. And she fully supported it.
âI will not take any attempts of refutals, Robert, and you know it.â She promptly added, not allowing him to downplay his own acts of love towards them but, mostly, towards Jonathan once more. The blond let out a soft whine, hoping the pink dusting his face would go away soon.
âYou are mean, ErinaâŚâ He simply jested this time, leaning back into his chair.
âIf that is what is going to take to make you understand just how special you are to us; how special you are to Jonathan, then I will be the meanest lady you will ever meet.â She said, her tone playful, but her words sincere. And Speedwagon could see that very well in her clear blue eyes.
âI truly do not deserve a friend like you.â A soft chuckle in the shape of a huff punctuated his words. He then picked up his cup of tea, sipping the last of itâs contents so he could take his leave.
âYou are a wonderful man. You just havenât realized it yet.â
âWish I could believe that. I mean, it âs not that I doubt you or anythinâ!! It âs just...â Robert averted his gaze, unconsciously letting his head hang a little. His tone sounded defeated, and Erina could tell the reason why.
âJojo is fully aware of how wonderful you are, too. He just...â She sighed softly, unable to find the right words for it. âHe can be a bit oblivious to the signs if you are not direct or clear enough with him sometimes. Especially at moments like this, when his mind is fully absorbed by something else.â Both remained in silence for a moment. Erinaâs soft hand once more offering a reassuring touch to the back of Robertâs scarred one.
âI⌠know. I⌠I just wish I âad the guts tâ finally be open with âim and just tell âim âow I feel.â The man didnât do much to lift his head, slipping his eyes closed for a moment instead. Erina could feel the muscles in Robertâs hand tensing up a little under her palm, right before he lifted his head. There was pain in his eyes. âIâm scared tâ death that he might find me disgustinâ and will not want tâ see me ever again.â
âFear of rejection is the most normal thing to feel in this type of situations. The views most people have regarding people with âa different tasteâ than the rest does not help much on that matter, but it does not mean everyone will turn against you, and Iâm almost certain you know that very well after all the experiences youâve had, and all the people you have met around the globe.â Her tone was soft, reassuring. Even with his lack of an interest in women, it was easy for Robert to see why Jojo loved her so much. âIâm afraid I donât have the exact answer you are looking for, but I know in my heart that, no matter what, Jojo will never think any less of you.â The pain was still visible in his gaze, but he seemed to be a bit more at ease after hearing that.
âThank you, Erina. You are an absolute saint.â The woman then shook her head, lightly.
âI beg to differ. I just want you two to be the happiest possible.â
âAnd you say youâre not a saint, ehâŚ?â Both blondes shared a soft laugh and Erina withdrew her hand once more. âWell, looks like it âs time for me tâ go.â Speedwagon stood up from his seat. He straightened his waist coat and adjusted his frock coat before he picked his hat and put it on his head. Erina stood up as well.
âThe carriage that will take you home is waiting for you.â To which Robert could only stare at her; his eyes widening a bit and his mouth slightly agape.
âWhat? Blimey, that wonât be necessary. I can justââ
âI told you before: I will not be taking any negative responses for an answer.â She cut him short with that gentle tone of hers and a matching smile.
âOne day, I donât know âow, but one day I will repay you two for everythinâ youâve done for me.â
âUntil then, please, be kind and accept these small displays of gratitude of ours.â Truly, there was no way they could dislike each other.
It took Robert some effort to convince Erina not to walk him to the main entrance of the mansion, but he did it. He worried too much over her and her pregnancy sometimes. It was almost comical in an endearing way just how much Jonathan and him resembled each other on that matter. However, and all that aside, the truth was that Erina was in her 8th month of pregnancy, almost the 9th, so moving around freely and without getting easily tired was not as simple as before, so she had to take it easy, mostly for the babyâs sake.
Not long after saying their farewells for the night âand Robert saying farewell to little Jojo as wellâ, and after greeting the coachman that was going to take him home, Robert was finally on the carriage, leaving the Joestar state. As the place began to disappear behind them, one of Speedwagon's hands went up to the chest pocket of his coat. He could feel the squared shape of the envelope Erina had given him earlier that day, shortly after heâd arrived. It was a little letter Jonathan had left for him to make up for his absence that day. He hadn't read it yet, and he was completely sure nothing out of the ordinary was written in it, and yetâŚ
"He really took some time outta 'is day t' write this for me, huh...?" He mused under his breath, and the sole thought made his heart flutter. He was so madly in love with that man it was almost unbelievable.
With that image of Jonathan, as busy as he was, taking some time for him and writing that letter with him in mind, still lingering in his head, Robert leaned back into the cushioned seat of the carriage. He wanted to read the contents of the letter, even if there was nothing more in it than Jojoâs heartfelt apologies for missing his visit and the promise of properly making up for it and seeing him next time, but he knew any attempts of actually reading it would be futile with the lack of proper lighting inside the carriage. He let out a sigh and took his hat off, placing it on the empty seat beside him. He made himself comfortable âas comfortable as a big, 5â11â tall man like him could get in a space like thatâ and tried to get some sleep.
ďźďźďźďźďźďźďźďź
About a week later, the same carriage was seen making itâs way back to Liverpool. This time, though, there were two more passengers travelling along. The trip, unlike last time, felt a lot shorter. Probably because this time Robert had his Ogre Street mates with him all along to kill some time. Or maybe because, this time, he knew what Jonathan had wanted to tell him in the letter.
Just as Robert had expected then, there had been nothing particularly grand in it. It had been full to the brim with sincere apologies and all as well filling him in on some of the news of his everyday and stuff about his most recent work. What had made him feel a bit too anxious in anticipation, though, had been a line that Jojo added near the end. Something about a big surprise. Of course, it was a bit too much of a stretch that that could mean⌠what Robert kind of thought (more like, wished) it could mean, and he knew it. But still, that didnât make much to ease that feeling that was pooling in the pit of his stomach, and he felt kind of silly about it. Being so excited over something that was most likely not going to happen, was he even for real? He questioned himself over and over again since reading that letter the morning after heâd left the Joestar mansion days ago, and still did now as the three guests were led into the mansion by one of the butlers while another took their baggage to the designated rooms upstairs. The first butler then took them into the banquet hall, where their hosts were awaiting for them.
Even though this was not the first time Tattoo and Li visited the Joestar estate, that didnât change much that feeling of inadequacy the three of them were always victims of whenever they visited. This place was so huge and imposing. Regardless of the kind nature of Jonathan and Erina, always making them feel welcome, it was near impossible for folks with much less fortunate backgrounds such as the three of them not to feel that way, like they were completely out of place. Never in their lives they would have imagined they would set foot into a majestic place like this unless they were raiding it...
The big double doors of the hall were pushed open by the butler guiding them through the mansion and he stepped aside, so the group could come in. The first thing Robert saw as he stepped into the room was Jonathanâs beautiful smile.
âRobert!â The younger man greeted, excited, waving his hand âmanners and 100% proper and sober Victorian etiquette were still not his forte, huhâ and rushed towards the newcomers. âYou came! I was worried you wouldnât!â
âThere âs no way on Earth Iâd ever let you down, Jonathan.â Robert took his hat off and offered a gentle smile of his own while secretly trying to hide the soft blush he felt was threatening to creep up to his cheeks at the sight of his favorite gentleman smiling so bright at him. The taller man then grabbed him by his shoulders in a gentle manner, showing just how excited he was to see him again after so long.
âI know, I know!! But still! I was just...worried, you know?â Jonathan rubbed his cheek a little before he loosened his grip and hugged the man instead. Something quite improper, especially between two men, but it was something that Speedwagon couldn't find any reasons to complain about. He returned the hug in a very similar manner, enjoying every second of it, unconsciously memorizing the smell of Jojoâs lotion mixed with his own flowery scent. A true delight to his sensitive nose. "I'm so happy that you're here." His voice was low as there was no need to raise it with how close they were from each other, Jonathan practically whispering those words into his ear. Robert felt his legs go a tad weak, but they didn't give in, mostly thanks to Jonathanâs strong but tender embrace. He knew Tattoo and Li were going to tease him on end about this later but, fuck it, he couldn't care less about that.
âAnd I am truly âappy tâ be âere, you big sap.â He replied in a lighthearted way, adding that last bit in an attempt to play it cool and not completely give himself away, even though he was almost completely sure at this point that everyone in the room âsave for the object of his affections, unfortunatelyâ were well aware of the true nature of his feelings for Jonathan. The brunet finally pulled away from the hug and properly greeted Li and Tattoo as well, shaking hands with them and exchanging kind words and genuine smiles. Erina also came to greet them all, in a much more proper manner than her husband, but just as warm and kind as him. Those two were nothing at all like most other rich folks Speedwagon had ever met before.
âHowâs little Jojo doinâ today?â Robert asked, his gaze falling down to Erinaâs pregnant belly for a moment.
âWonderfully!â She replied; her smile never fading away. âAnd quite excited, too. They have been kicking a lot today.â
âThey are excited because they knew Uncle Speedwagon was coming today.â Jonathan added as he moved back to Erinaâs side, draping an arm around her shoulders. That sweet smile of his in full display once moreâŚ
...And Robert couldnât help the blush on his face. Not just at that beautiful sight, but at what Jonathan had just said.
âUncleâŚ?â He echoed, and the coupleâs smiles grew wider and even warmer.
âThatâs correct!â They both said almost in unison.
To think Erina and Jojo considered him good enough for such an important role in their childâs life⌠Lord, he felt so undeserving.
âI honestly donât think Iâm the most fit for the role, but Iâll âappily do my best tâ not disappoint any of you!â The smile gracing his features mirrored those on the coupleâs faces in every possible way, showing just how touched he genuinely was. Having known Robert long before Jojo had come into his life, Li and Tattoo found it truly sweet to finally see him being this happy, and surrounded with so much love, even if not everything about it had been going the exact way their mate wished. They knew the kind of man he was underneath that tough and rough exterior he was very well known for in all of the slums, and knew how deserving he truly was of every single ounce of it. Both of them placed a hand on each of Speedwagonâs shoulders as a sign of that, smiling at him and at the Joestars as well, and the man returned the gesture with that genuine smile of his as well.
âWe are so happy to hear you say that. Now, please, donât stand there and come take a seat!â Erina added and walked over to the huge dining table. Jojo led them to it as well. Some of the maids had already come in and were already getting everything ready for the meal, bringing in the dishes for them all to enjoy.
âHope you have a good appetite today!â Jojo exclaimed as he pulled the chairs out for their guests. âThe staff worked hard on all this, so I hope the food is to your taste.â And he finally sat down as well once everyone was in their seats; the maids and butlers putting the many plates of hot food on the table before each one of them and getting everything ready for everyone to enjoy their meals. Once they all had finished their food, they all went outside and took a walk around the majestic gardens surrounding the mansion, enjoying the beautiful views and the still gentle breeze of the first month of Fall.
The reunion went down as smooth as expected so far: A shared high spirit, lots of fun and interesting stories about many different subjects shared by everyone, genuine laughter and smiles, incredibly tasty food (and many different dishes to sink their teeth into, too). A pleasant time they all deserved and had been looking forward to as well.
Low tea time then came, and they were all greeted in the tea room by a different part of the staff working at the mansion. Hot beverages, all sorts of delicious pastries, the perfect lighting. Everything was ready by the time they got there. Everyone took a seat and soon after, the tea was served.
âThis âas been such a lovely day,â Robert finally said sometime later, visibly touched by the heartwarming gesture of the Joestar couple towards him and his old friends. It was hard to believe that, this exact day, one year ago, he had been spending the day in the streets, just wandering around aimlessly, killing time and causing trouble... âand I wanna thank you both for everythinâ. I still donât know what on Earth did I do so right tâ deserve you both in my life.â
âJust being yourself. Thatâs what you did.â Jonathan replied with that gentle smile of his aimed at the blond, who was sitting right beside him. Erina nodded. âI donât think Iâve had the opportunity to say this before, but I think you already know it: You are one of the persons I admire the most. You are so very special, Robert. And I hope you haven't forgotten about the surprise I mentioned in the letter." Jonathan's words, as usual, didn't fail to paint the blondâs cheeks a sweet tone of pink that, hopefully, was not easy to notice. And, the reminder of the letter only served to make that blush last a little longer.
Jojo stood up and walked over to one of the cabinets in the room. From one of the drawers, he pulled something out, something he had previously put in there himself for this moment, and asked Robert to come over, which he did. Everyone's eyes followed them, curious as to what Jonathan had gotten him. Not even Erina knew, as Jonathan had insisted all the time that it was a surprise. Meanwhile, Robert was inwardly pleading for his heart to stop pounding so hard in his chest. Once he was before Jonathan, he was presented with a light-gray small box âthough it could very well just be that anything looked small in Jonathan's handsâ. It was a bit flat and there was a lavender ribbon on top of it. He nodded, encouraging Robert to open his present right away.
"I hope you like it." The nobleman added, expectant for the other's reaction, watching him open the box, revealing an elegant sterling silver pocket watch âa hunter-case oneâ, attached to a silver chain. The thing looked so expensive it felt so alien in Robert's hand.
"Jojo, you didn'tâ"
"I know I didn't have to, but I wanted to." He finished his sentence with a kind smile. "You deserve so much more than this, but I hope you like it nevertheless!"
"Are you kiddin' me? I love it!" He beamed. And he wasnât lying. He did love it, but not because of how fancy and nice it looked. It was because it was a present from the man he loved so dearly. He could have gotten some cheap trinket from him and his reaction would have been entirely the same.
"I'm so happy to hear that! And there's one more thing. Take a look inside." His index finger pointing at the watch. Robert did as requested and carefully opened it. On the back of the lid there was a set of numbers engraved, written in beautiful cursive. It was⌠a date?
"Jonathan. This âs...?" Jonathan nodded.
"The date of the day we met for the first time." And Robert froze on the spot. Of course, there was the âembarrassingâ part attached to the memory âthat of Tattoo, Li and him trying to gut Jonathan alive while the young man had been doing nothing but seeking for an antidote to save his Fatherâs life, something that the three ruffians still felt terrible aboutâ, but there was also a unique feeling to it, as that had also been the day that this man had come into his life, ready to change everything in it for good: His views, his wrecked and reckless ways, his life style and the way he perceived life and the world around him, the way he perceived himself, showing him that he was worth something, showing him that there was so much more to life than what that little underworld in the slums had to offer. The day he had so fiercely fallen for this ârich boyâ that was nothing like the rest, the one who was a true gentleman in every possible way. The one that had captivated his heart like no other had and that Robert was absolutely convinced was the one and only love of his life.
The blond couldnât find any words to say. He was genuinely speechless, with his gaze fixed on the engraving for a little longer as the memories and the swirl of emotions engulfed him whole. It was such a âsmallâ detail, but one that meant the world to him, as it showed and left no doubts about Robertâs importance in Jonathanâs life. The moment he raised his gaze, meeting Jojoâs, his eyes were visibly glassy, and that was something that didnât escape Jonathan. He didnât make any comments on it, though, figuring it would make Speedwagon feel uncomfortable and exposed so, instead, he pulled him into a tight hug.
âHappy Birthday, Robert.â He said in a soft voice. Speedwagon leaned into the hug, wrapping his arms around Jojoâs larger frame.
âThank you⌠JojoâŚâ He replied in a similar manner, trying his best to choke down his tears, and doing a fairly decent job at it. When the hug ended, they both went back to the table and enjoyed the rest of the evening along with the rest of their friends and family. Outside, the night had fallen over the vast Liverpool skies.
Ever since this celebration had been planned, it had been agreed by all of them that Robert, Li and Tattoo were staying over for a few days after that. There were plenty of guest rooms in the mansion, so having them over would definitely be no issue at all. Since they werenât going back to London tonight, there was also no need to rush anything, and so conversations and all sorts of activities went on for a while longer than they usually would on a regular visit. Time went fast by, and it was getting really late. They were all tired after such a long and fun day, so everyone went to their respective bedrooms, ready to call it a day.
âErina, dear.â Jojo called once they were alone in their room. Something seemed to be bothering him.
âYes?â
ââŚIt might just be me but, did you notice anything different in Robert later today?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âI donât know how to describe it, but it felt likeâŚâ
âLike something was off?â She looked at him; her soft hands rested on her belly as she remained sitting on the edge of their bed.
âYes. Yes, something like that.â He said after a moment of pondering about it. âDo you know what it could possibly be? I donât recall him mentioning any issues before or anything that could be bothering him.â He inquired, hoping she would know something he didnât and could tell him about. Maybe the two of them had talked about something that could be troubling him during his previous visit?
Erina let out a soft sigh and lightly shook her head.
âOh, Jojo.â She looked into her husbandâs eyes. Even through the dim light from the oil lamp on the nightstand he could see that look she would always give him whenever he was missing something important that was a bit obvious. It wasnât a condescending look at all. All the opposite, really. âYou have not noticed it yet, have you?â
And her words threw him off. Completely.
âNotice...what?â
âI could tell you, but I think it would be best for you, and for Robert, that you find that answer out for yourself, dear.â
Jonathan continued staring at her; his thick brows knitted together. He was infinitely puzzled still. She stood up and walked towards him. She cupped his face in her hands and gently pulled him closer, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek.
âLook. I wonât mind if you want to go and talk with him. Knowing him, Iâm sure he is going to be up for a while longer, and Iâm convinced he will appreciate your company through the night.â Which was something both knew for sure. It was no secret that Speedwagon was a night owl, and him staying over at someoneâs place probably wouldnât change that the slightest. Jonathan nodded. He then kissed Erina in return before he left.
Meanwhile, a few doors down the hall, in his room, Robert was leaning against the door frame that led to the balcony. He had already taken his coat and waistcoat off, both of which he had left on the footboard of the four poster bed. The turmoil inside his head (and heart) had gotten considerably worse as hours had ticked away, so he had opted for making himself comfortable âas comfortable as one could in that conditionâ and take a breath of fresh air while, a bit ironically, having a smoke, hoping that would soothe him enough so he could get some sleep later that night. He lit a cigarette and stared outside, softly humming to a tune he had heard some time ago, when he visited the Caribbean. His room had quite a nice view of the gardens their whole group had walked through earlier. They looked so different under the moonlight, but still as beautiful as before. It was a really nice change from the urban landscapes he was so used to back in London. He remained like that for a moment, enjoying the chilly but gentle wind of Fall. His tie was undone, and his shirt was open, allowing that chilly wind to gently brush against the exposed skin of his scarred chest. He put the cigarette between his lips and slipped a hand into the pocket of his trousers, producing the silver pocket watch Jonathan had given him earlier, idly fiddling with it and running his fingers over the smooth surface as he took a drag of his cigarette. His gaze was fixed on the timepiece now and he could see the way the moonlight shone so beautiful on itâs surface. His mind, suddenly, decided to go back to earlier that day, to that moment when Jonathan had hugged him for the second time, and he felt that rush of emotions strike him all over again.
âYouâre such a bloody fool, RobertâŚâ He whispered to himself. Being so madly in love with a nobleman. And not just that, but a married gentleman. His friendâs husband at that. And, while said friend was absolutely okay with those tender feelings he had for him, and even encouraged him to take the next step whenever he felt ready for it, if he ever did, he still felt so silly about it all. He had no leads that Jonathan was⌠well, like that. No leads or hints that he had somewhat of a taste for men, like an invert man such as Robert did. And not just that, but he was also scared to death of not only being rejected by the man he loved, but he was also scared of being seen by him as nothing but a disgusting pervert as well. The sole idea of Jonathan telling him that he didnât want anything to do with him anymore was frightening and painful enough to make the former thug want to keep his mouth and heart shut as much as he could, as much as it hurt. Heâd rather remain a close friend and be by his side always, until the very end, than risk losing him foreverâŚ
A soft knock on his roomâs door echoed through the room, dragging him back to the present time.
âCâmon in.â Speedwagon raised his voice enough for the visitor to hear and slipped the watch back into his pocket. He looked over his shoulder when he heard the door open and then click shut a second later. Even in the darkness that was engulfing the room now that the oil lamps were off, he could still make out the huge silhouette of the Joestar heir walking towards him. The blond turned on his heels, failing to realize just how âimproperâ he must have been looking at the time (etiquette wasnât always his forte, especially with an upbringing like his and the fact that he was still a man from the worst part of the slums). âOi, Jojo.â He greeted, raising his hand a little.
âH-Hey.â He said once he got to Speedwagonâs side, mirroring that gesture.
âI thought you were with Erina. âs somethinâ the matter?â He asked, genuinely curious, and even a tad worried.
âNo, no. Everything is fine! I mean, not everything, but yes. Just...â
âAre you sure? âcause this âs definitely not like you.â His concern growing deeper. âDo you need tâ talk, perhaps?â
âYeah, I guess...â His voice trailed off. He looked, and sounded, so lost for a moment. Robert had no clue what this was all about, but he was going to try his best to be of aid. âItâs about earlierâŚâ
OhâŚ
âYeahâŚ? What âbout it?â
âI couldnât help but notice that something was kind of, well, off with youâŚâ
â...â
âErina noticed it, too. I tried to ask her about it. She seems to know something, but she wouldnât tell me anything. She said it would be best for us to talk.â
Robert couldnât help a soft chuckle, exhaling a bit of smoke in the process.
âDonât get me wrong for what Iâm âbout tâ say, please, but that woman âs an absolute angel. I can truly see why you love âer so much.â He admitted as he looked away into the horizon once more. Jonathan smiled in response, finding no fails or lies in that whole statement about his sweet Erina. His gaze followed Robertâs and, after a moment of silence and even a little of hesitation, he tried again.
âSoâŚ? Somethingâs been bothering youâŚ?â He asked cautiously, not wishing to upset Speedwagon in any possible way. The blond hesitated to respond, taking a couple seconds to think, and re-think, his answer. He suddenly felt cold, as if his blood had been drained from his body, and a chill ran down his spine as realization fell down on him. There was no turning back now, was it?
â...It âs not like thereâs somethinâ botherinâ me per se⌠It s just⌠somethinâ else. Somethinâ thatâs been goinâ on for quite a long time now and that I, shamefully, âavenât had the ballocks tâ be frank âbout it.â He admitted, unconsciously taking another drag of his cigarette before putting it off on the ashtray that was sitting on top of the bureau by the door. Jonathanâs face was colored in concern after hearing those words. It had to be something quite undesirable if it had lasted for so long while also making Speedwagon want to keep his mouth shut on the matter all this time, he figured.
âWhy didnât you tell me sooner about it?â His voice reflecting that same concern that was plastered all over his face. âI would have helped you out as soon as you told me!â There was a tinge of pain in Robertâs features, and the moonlight made sure Jonathan didnât miss that as the shorter man turned to look at him.
âHavenât you noticed it yet, Jojo...?â The brunet remained silent, trying to piece it all together.
âIâŚâ He stammered. Robert gulped hard and locked eyes with him. It was now or never, right? Right.
âI love you.â
âWhatâŚ?â
âYou âeard me right!â He nearly shouted. âI love you, JonathanâŚ! I love you so damn much! And I always âave ever since you came into my life all that time ago...â He said, trying to keep himself collected as much as he could. His fists were clenched into tight balls at his sides while hot tears threatened him, stinging his eyes. Jojo stared at him, wide eyed, and at a complete loss for words. âIâd been keepinâ that t' myself all this time âcause⌠âcause I was scared tâ death of losinâ you. I still am!â He took a deep breathe. It was still hard for Robert to conceive that a ruthless gang leader such as himself could be this vulnerable before someone else, but here he was, exposing himself once more, though in a completely open manner this time for a change, confessing all those feelings he had tried so hard to keep to himself. âI donât expect you tâ return my feelings. Bloody âell, I will even understand if you donât wanna see my disgustinâ arse ever again, and I promise I will never show mâself âround âere anymore! I just⌠I just⌠really âad tâ let all this out somehow before it ate me alive whole...â The pain was almost tangible in his voice as he uttered all those words.
And, suddenly, all those signs Jonathan had seen countless times coming from him before made so much sense. So much more that he couldnât help but feel so inept, and like the biggest fool around for being so painfully oblivious to it all while even Erina had noticed it so long ago but, also, for having forced himself to keep his own feelings towards this man before him locked awayâŚ
âIâm...sorry for disappointinâ you and not beinâ who you thought I was, Mister JoestarâŚâ He spoke again, even shaking a little, and he lowered his eyes, bringing back the formalities now that his chances of being on the list of undesirable people in this household had increased exponentially...
...Or so he thought.
âWhat on Earth are you talking about!?â The younger male grabbed him by the shoulders, making him raise his head and look back into Jojoâs face. There was a glint of something in his eyes. Something that Speedwagon could not quite read at first but that seemed like⌠pain? He had no time to ponder too much about it as Jonathan immediately pulled him into yet another tight hug, though, this time he was holding on to him like his very life depended on it, yet careful not to crush him in the process. âThere is no way you could ever disappoint me!!â He sounded hurt, and he legitimately was. âThe only one I am disappointed with is myself for being so blind and not being able to return your feelings soonerâŚâ He paused, trying to find the right words to voice what was going on through his mind. â...I think Iâd known about it all for a bit. I just⌠didnât say anything for that same reason: I was afraid of being wrong in my assumptions and losing you forever! And, also, Erina⌠I⌠I didnât know how she would react to the news that I had a special fondness for you, a special fondness as intense as that I have for her, and I didnât want to make her feel like I didnât love her anymore, much less now that she is carrying our baby.â The brunet tightened the hug a little; his fingers gently digging into the fabric of Robertâs shirt as he finally opened up, his hot tears rolling down and soaking Robertâs shirt. There was nothing but absolute honesty in his every word, and Robert could easily notice that. âI was so confused because I love her so much, and never have stopped loving her either. At first I was not aware that it was possible to love two different persons in the same manner, and so fiercely, at the same time. It⌠It took me a while to figure that out on my own and, still, I decided to keep quiet about it because I didnât know how to bring it up to her, and how to bring it up to you as well. I tried to convince myself that⌠all of this, all those signs you gave off⌠as well as everything I was feeling⌠that it was all in my head. Guess I only made a fool out of myself in the end, didnât I?â
Robert pulled Jojo away just enough so they could make eye contact once more. It broke his heart to see his gentleman break down like this.
âJojo... dear. LordâŚâ He struggled to find the right words to say and could feel his own tears finally rolling down his face. There was so much in what Jonathan had just said that he could relate to in his own way... âYou âavenât done anythinâ wrong! Besides⌠It 's also my fault that you didnât know for sure just âow much Iâve always loved you until now! And Iâm really sorry âbout that⌠I really wish I âad the guts tâ be open with you âbout that sooner instead of tryinâ tâ hide it all and pretend nothinâ else was goinâ on...â Both men, remained in silence for a moment, still close to each other. It was then that Jonathan spoke once more.
âI guess⌠that makes both of us a pair of foolsâŚâ
âThe biggest of âem all, Iâm afraidâŚâ Both of them shared a soft laugh despite those tears still wetting their faces; their foreheads pressed together as they did. One of Jojoâs hands went up to tenderly cup Speedwagonâs chin with his thumb and index finger.
âRobert⌠May IâŚ?â
âGoddamnit, JojoâŚâ Robert let out a soft huff and cupped Jonathanâs face in his hands; his little smile not fading away the slightest. âJust fuckinâ kiss meâŚ!â
Jonathan tilted Robertâs face slightly to the side, allowing himself a better access. His other hand went to rest on the small of the blondâs back, and he finally pressed their lips together in a long awaited kiss that Robert gladly returned in the same loving manner, both of them pouring into it all those feelings they had been holding back for so long.
They remained in each otherâs arms for a little longer after the kiss ended, refusing to let go just like that.
âWould you⌠stay with me tonight? I mean, only if you think Erina will be alrighâ with that. I wouldnât wanna get on âer bad side ever.â Robert whispered as he rested his head on Jonathanâs chest. He could hear the soft rumble that was his chuckle. They both knew very well that Erina could be quite scary when she wished to.
âThat will be completely alright.â He said with a full smile on his face. âWe should go inside, though. Itâs getting colder, and I donât want you to catch a cold or worse!â
âThis is nothinâ compared tâ what Ogre Street âas me used to, darlinâ.â
âYeah, I suppose so, but... About that, I know that you along with Tattoo and Li have turned down the offer of moving in with us countless times already, but I must insist once more.â
âI told you, dear, we donât wanna be a nuisance tâ either of you.â
âBut you wouldnât be! Besides⌠I want. No, I need Erina and you, my two loves, by my side.â Speedwagon let out yet another soft chuckle.
âBlimey... Youâre really the biggest daisy Iâve ever met, Jonathan.â He said fondly, âBut I will gladly take you up on that this time. Little Jojo might need their Uncle âround when they arrive, and Iâm sure Erina might appreciate some friendly company as well. And, much like yourself...â He stood on his tiptoes, gently bringing Jojoâs face down by his chin a little. â...I also need my one true love by my side.â His voice soft, sealing those words with yet another kiss under the pale moonlight.
Final notes: This story took so long for me to get it done from start to end, but it's finally here!
This is, I think, the first time I actually write something for the lovely jonaeri/jonawagon ot3~ :'D I also loved writing those bits with Robert and Erina together. They were super fun, and I also loved the idea of Robert happily telling her about the gay codes from that time and just kind of getting her into that little secret world, not only because Erina is the ultimate ally, but also, because, given the taboos in Victorian England, it's pretty much a given that Robert usually had to keep a lot of things from most people, sometimes friends included, so he really appreciates those time whenever he's allowed to be himself and is able to share some of that with others. Needless to say how much I love writing jonawagon and putting them in sweet and cozy scenes~
I can honestly say I'm pleased with how this story turned out, but I would definitely love to hear your thoughts on it!
Feedback, likes, reblogs and everything else (shares outside of Tumblr and Ao3, too) are always encouraged and highly appreciated!!
Thanks for reading!

Hi! Idk if you read fanfic, but would you happen to have any kiribaku fic recs? Or any bnha fic rec?
Iâm pretty sure thereâs stuff tagged as fic recs on this blog, yes! Nothing particularly new tho, I havenât had the time to put down a new rec-list in a while ;-;
Anon said:How long does it take you to finish a drawing with and without color?
That honestly depends on a lot of factors - which tools Iâm using, how many characters there are in the drawing/if itâs full body or not, how used to drawing the character I am, how big is the canvas, if I already have a clear idea of what I mean to draw or not, how precise I want to be with lines and stuff.Â
That Yuuto sketch I posted yesterday took me about 40 minutes I think, and over half of it was spent trying to figure out how I was supposed to draw him since it was the first time I drew him - the tools I used are the ones I use when I want to be fast and donât care about being sloppy. A small random Kirishima bust properly lined and colored could take me five minutes to sketch and line and as many to color on a good day, cause Iâve drawn him so many times by now I donât even have to think to draw him. Deku, on the other hand, can take me an hour even just to sketch, I canât seem to grasp how Iâm supposed to draw him at all.
Sorry, it really depends on a lot of things, I canât give a proper answer to this :(
Anon said:Ive been tryin to find ur art of sero carrying baku for like 20 minutes n i cant find it :(
Are you talking about this one? Or this one? Thereâs also this one I guess...? And maybe this one lolÂ

I dunno if anyone has before you, but I canât say I have, sorry! If I gotta ship Nejire with someone after all itâs gonna be Yuyu haha
Anon said:Hey do you do commissions? I really love your art and I'd love to get a commission from you!! (and also I just wanna know if there's yet another thing that I have to save up for XD)

I think that might happen soon enough, actually!!!! Thank you so much for the interest in them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anon said:Are josh and chris still not dating?
Sadly until Iâll sit down to write their story that specific part of it wonât go anywhere :( Chris gotta deal with a bunch of things before heâll be ready to put a name to whatâs between him and Josh 3 one day Iâll let him work through it !!!
Anon said:I'm so paranoid I'm going to repost one of your post by accident but the thing is is I never even repost anything at all but just because I know you don't want them to be I'm so scared that by accident I'm going to have something screenshotted and forget it's yours and like Ughđ
Well, my nameâs written on all my drawing so I doubt youâll forget itâs my stuff lol to make sure youâre not reposting anything the author doesnât want reposted you can always just ask before reposting it, tho~
Anon said:I was just scrolling through your OC stuff and I just. Love them so much. Thank you for the babies â¤
GOD THANK YOU ;O;
Anon said:Okay I've never seen your oc's before and Dave is the cutest green boy I love him
AAAAHHHHHH IâM GLAD!!!!!
Anon said:kamijirou getting together? :3 also if there were ever a scenario where jirou would confess first, what do you think she would be thinking?
I actually have half a thing planned for that :0 gimme a while to get around to drawing it!
Anon said:How do you feel imagine kiriâs parents???
Actually since Iâm still hoping one day Hori will give us the official versions I try not to think too much about it! I donât wanna grow attached just to have to give them up once Iâll have the canon versions haha
Anon said:hey quick innocent question ive been following for a long time and saw a lot of your art do you have a thing for feet
Are you asking because I draw a lot of people barefoot? Feet are just easier and faster to draw than shoes, anon
Anon said:I love how you answer asks all at once. Itâs nice to see that youâre getting in bulk appreciation
THANKS I honestly just donât want my blog to be more asks than art, so I let them pile up before answering - it does mean I make people wait a lot for answers tho orz sorry

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wouldnât call myself that but Iâm glad you appreciate him too hahaha

And the fact that your art is something that I can look forward to is absolutely amazing (no pressure tho)!!! So yea, thank you for being cool and creating beautiful art~~ :D â§â§â§

AHW Iâm sorry anon, but those are definitely too small to be of any use on the shop ;-; if youâre okay with it I could add the last one I posted? I should seriously draw more of him..................
Anon said:That jacket that Kirishima has on...I NEED!
I drew it and thatâs still a mood t b h
Anon said:I went so far back in your blog that it kicked me back to the beginning ;-; I was just getting to the D. Greyman stuff too

hi! indian college anon again! i just wanted to say thank u so much for ur advice, im really really scared abt my future but what u said made me feel a lil better! i think a lot of indian parents try to make their kids to engineering or medicine bcs its safe and good money (like mine lol) my dad actually made me take abt 10 tech classes in hs but i HATE them all and i never told him bcs i didnt wand him to be dissapointed hehe but i am abt to fail one so i think he got the message. my mom (cont)
indian college anon! i wasnt really saying anything much hehe i was just ranting abt how my mom really wants me to do medicine but i hate it, and my dad made me take like 10 tech classes in highschool as engineering prep which i HATE and also gave me really bad depression and anxiety too! and i said a lil abt all the different things i want to do but cant choose from :(( i actually had like 3 messages ur inbox swallowed aksjdfl i write so much lol. anyways, thanks for replying! //
// (cont) i wish i could have hermoine grangers time turner from harry potter and have extra time to study all the things i loveâŚah i wrote so much thats another thing we have in common i always write soooo much lol. anyways im gonna stop spamming u and i wanted to say thanks for ur reply!!! btw i have to say i really like ur blog i love reading all ur tags!! seeing ur love for sehun and exo makes me so happy! okay now im gonna go byeee
No problem! I felt a bit bad because I just kept on rambling but I have a chronic wonât-shut-up issue that refuses to be resolved lmao. Iâm glad to hear it helped a little bit, though ;; Iâm not the best at advice, so I tend to just talk about my own experiences orz. But man!! Indian parents really are obsessed with engineering, medicine, and also IT (I swear whenever I go back to India all I see is IT colleges and ads for IT colleges lmao). But oh man, I remember in high school, I only took biology and chemistry as electives, but my dad was like, âTake physics, too, so you can get into engineering,â and I was like okay (when in reality I hate physics with a passion) so itâs just interesting to see the parallels in our situations alksjf Though ofc that doesnât compare to 10 whole tech classes jfcâŚ
But I really hope youâll be able to talk to your parents and theyâll listen to you, because being pressured into doing a degree, and spending that many years on something you hate and have zero passion or desire to do as a degree, let alone a career, is counterproductive ;; And if youâre anything like me, after a certain point youâre going to lose the motivation and itâs going to reflect horribly in so many ways - mentally, performance-wise, grades, socially, etc, and considering we both have anxiety and depression, those effects just double and also make it harder for us to cope, because I remember my anxiety made it really hard for me to ask for help until it was way too late ;; If you think about it logically, doing something you hate = no motivation since lack of passion = poor performance = you not actually learning anything = you not being able to apply it in class = especially not being able to apply it in real life = if you get a job itâll be hard to perform to a desired level = poor job performance = you are very unhappy ;; But thatâs just me, I am a bit of a pessimist orz. I hope itâll work out well for you; maybe itâll take some time but Iâm sure you will get there - if I of all people somehow made it out, Iâm sure you can, too~ Let me know how it goes, though!
But it was no problem replying! I just hope I was able to say at least something with a teeny bit of use ;; And also thank you for liking my blog and reading my tags :(((
I really hope it works out for you, I have all the faith in the world that it will ;;
