#jjba Tonio

Side note from the current Yandere JJBAx reader I’m working on but still JJBA related. I’m currently watching part 4 and I just love everyone.

So here are my opinions on them and some relationship headcannons

Not all characters have relationship stuff-

Jotaro

I love how Jotaro is still himself but just… feels slightly baby girled. I also love how the first thing we properly see of him in part 4 is him 1- pitying a turtle 2-sucker punching Josuke moments later. With that being said, he’d totally be smitten for you. I may joke on how others are simps, this is my number one simp choice.

You probably didn’t obsess over him like the girls when he was younger but actually talk to him like a person, not just a set of hot muscles. He does like it when you talk about his hot muscles though ok… play your cards right and he might let you touch, but don’t tease him or he’ll back away. But, once you’re official, I feel like he’d quite like witty banter and teasing from his partner, as long as it’s clear you’re joking. No joke, probably fell for you after you mentioned a random fish/ocean creature fact.

“Huh? Oh you’re reading about starfish? I like starfish, even though they’re not actually a fish.”

“Marry me-“ “huh, what did you-“ “good grief, I said nothing…” 10/10 on my way to marry him as we speak.

Josuke

Josuke, I wasn’t sure if I’d like him at first but he is my baby no.2. He’s such a sweetheart, so dependable. Just his reaction any time his friends are in danger is just perfect. Plus I love his mom. The way he’d defend your honour like he defends his hair. Anyone say anything out of pocket about you and they’re dealing with your very powerful boy. Totally brags to you about how he’s Jotaro’s uncle and that Jotaro asks for his help on missions soooo often. But then later asks Jotaro for date ideas and advice because he’s older. My man is a romantic at heart you can’t lie to me. 10/10 would make dinner for him and baby him.

Koichi

Although Koichi isn’t my type personally, he’s such a cutie patootie. He’s so sweet and genuine that I imagine he’d just be a darling to eat lunch with and talk about your favourite shows or manga. 10/10, would walk with you too and from school.

Okuyasu

Okuyasu… he is my baby. He’s stupid, strong and has a heart of gold despite looking like a delinquent… you guys can’t lie to me that is definition of a Himbo. You can’t tell me he wouldn’t drag you out on every little adventure he could with him and the others. He’d have you wearing his jacket when it’s cold and if you already have one he’d insist his is warmer and then wear yours so you can have his. Dinner dates at Tonio’s. Yeah 10/10 he might be a menace sometimes but he’d fight for you. Use your scary dog privilege wisely.

Speaking of Tonio… only slutty men know how to cook. (/J) 10/10 I love him, underrated husband.

Rohan is a self centred jerk… I’m going to aggressively make out with him and you can’t stop me. 10/10 (sorry I’ve only seen like 2 episodes with him so I don’t have much commentary)

I’ve only just gotten to the episode where we see him pulling up to his house after nearly hitting Koichi so I can’t really report on Kira yet… but a man who carries an arm around… yeah smash- 10/10 psychotic asshole.

(Him and Tonio get along very well actually)

@jotaromonth day 12 - week 2 (Friendship - morioh!!!)

GRRRR I LOVE EXAGGERATING CHARACTER’S PERSONALITIES 🐺🐺🐺🐺

[odyooles]

bunnies at the beach! hatsune and kyouka are chatting, tonio and jugo are fishing, and rohan is sketching <3

[starry-blue-echoes]

I found this old snippet 90% finished in my drafts so W O E, 2k words of Tonio being my favorite character and Mr.Giovanna slowly understanding that he is not in fact Giogio's father anymore <333

(also tw for implied/referenced child abuse since Giorno)

-------------

Tonio noticed the second the man approached Giorno’s table.

His customers knew better than to do so. They knew the boy was under his personal protection and it was best to steer clear. A greeting hello when the boy arrived, a brief exchange of conversation, an offered treat or trinket was of course allowed, but approaching his booth while Tonio was not present?

That was not common.

In fact, by the time Tonio made it out of the kitchen and to the dining area, the man had gathered quite a bit of attention from the other customers if the glances being cast his way were anything to go by.

The man was practically looming over Giorno’s booth, all but boxing the boy into his seat and talking in a low voice so as to not be overheard. Tonio couldn’t even see Giorno from his spot.

Tonio did not like this.

He did not like this one bit.

So plastering on his best Customer Service Smile, he approached.

“Excuse me sir,” he spoke up, keeping his voice light and pleasant. “My apologies, but at this establishment you must wait to be seated.”

The man turned to face him, not moving away from the booth and instead attempting to slide a softer, kinder mask over his features.

Hm.

It was sloppy, Tonio couldn't help but note. Sure the facial expressions were… passable, he supposed, but his body language was all wrong. Maybe spending so much time amongst the real dangers in Italy had made him a bit of a snob, but honestly this was laughable.

“Ah, you misunderstand sir, I’m not here to eat, though I have heard good things about this restaurant.” the man waved him off with what was supposed to be a lighthearted chuckle that only succeeded in feeling patronizing. “I’m here to pick up my son.”

“Oh?” Tonio responded with a slit tilt of the head, and a cold, cold feeling slipped into his gut. “You’re this boy’s father then? I wouldn’t have guessed.”

“Step father, technically.” Mr.Giovanna explained, the veiled insult sailing clear over his head. “His mother already had him when I stepped into the picture, but I see and love him as my own.”

His smile got tighter when he saw Giorno, kind, smart, shy Giorno who loved frogs and ladybugs and the color pink and listening to Tonio talk about recipes, flinch.

“I see.” was all he offered.

Tonio knew so little. So, so little. Part of him knew it was purposeful. That he was giving himself plausible deniability. An empty comfort.

But he knew enough. He’d always known enough. More than enough really.

And now it was looking him dead in the eyes and spitting in his face, daring him to lie down and take it.

“Well, it’s getting late. We’d best be getting back to the house before your mother starts dinner. Come along, Giorno, you’ve taken up enough of this man’s time.” 

How long has he been standing idly by as he’d seen Giorno hurt? 

How many times has he knowingly allowed Giorno to return to that sorry excuse of a family? 

How many times has he merely nursed his injuries instead of doing anything to stop them from happening in the first place?

Well no longer.

“Actually, sir.” he interrupted. “I have some…. concerns I’d like to speak with you about.”

The man froze before slowly turning toward him.

There was a dangerous glint in his eyes and he not very subtly squared his shoulders to make himself look bigger.

“Oh?”

How funny. The man thought he was intimidating.

Tonio had done a bit of asking around about Giorno’s family when the boy hadn't been present. Nothing too nosey of course, just the standard gossip that was floating around which he generally got quite a lot of. 

And the results of his findings were quite fruitful.

Mr.Giovanna had a temper and was somewhat quick to anger, and he’d had a few dealings with the underworld, but that was as all. The man wasn't anyone important nor did he have any connections whatsoever.

He was just a simple, ordinary, powerless man.

A man who in the long run wouldn’t be able to do a thing to Tonio.

Tonio did not normally like taking advantage of his position, of the power he had at his fingertips. The near crippling fear of entrenching himself further and further into this world always had held him at bay, but in this moment he was more than willing to make an exception for this.

“Yes.” he made a slight show of stepping slightly closer to Mr.Giovanna and the booth seat, closer than was socially acceptable and a clear challenge to the man’s current proximity to Giorno. “And in all honesty, I’m not quite certain I feel comfortable allowing you to leave with this boy.”

“And for what reasons would that be?” Mr.Giovanna was openly glaring at him now, trying and failing to loom over a man who had a few centimeters on him.

“I notice things, Mr.Giovanna.” Tonio spoke, keeping his words clipped and flat lest his rage bubble over. “Giorno has been a patron in my restaurant for well over a year now, and I am not nearly as blind or stupid as you appear to think of me. I may be a chef, but I am also very familiar with the practices of medicine and the healing processes of the human body.”

Sometimes Tonio loathed this skill of his. Of seeing the way people moved and being able to pinpoint exactly what was wrong, of seeing the lethargy and careful movements and stiffness and knowing of the presence of bruises or cigarette burns or broken skin.

(In a bitterly comforting way, Giorno had always liked that part of him. Of their shared skill. He said it made him feel less alone and less strange)

Mr.Giovanna simply sneered at him. “And why exactly are you paying so much attention to little boys?”

His rage surged at the accusation, howling and throwing itself against the cage he’d locked it inside, only made worse by the man’s smugness as though he’d just won and Tonio would back down.

Oh how he longed for his butcher’s knives. They cut through skin and muscle like warm butter and would so easily make short work of the man before him.

“You know very well that is not what I’m talking about.” much to his dismay, his calm mask had begun to crack at the edges, his voice growing more tense and taught with every prolonged moment. This man was managing to slide through every crack of his carefully constructed walls in ways the most vile, loathsome mafioso couldn’t, and all with hardly more than a few words.

This needed to end soon. Before Tonio did something he would regret. For Giorno’s sake.

“I am not going to allow you to leave this establishment with this child unless you can offer me a reasonable explanation for why he comes here with bruises every single week, and that is final.” 

A lie of course, he wasn’t letting Giorno go anywhere with this pathetic excuse of a father, no matter what excuses he scrounged up.

“Well I don’t owe you shit.” he snapped back, forgoing excuses and even denial of the accusations completely. At the very least, it seemed Tonio was getting under Mr.Giovanna’s skin just as badly. “I am going to be taking my son and we are going to leave. Giorno, come here right n-” but as the man tried to move Tonio out of the way and make a grab for the boy, Tonio grabbed his arm in an ironclad grip.

The man froze, surprised either by the strength or by the audacity.

Tonio’s expression didn’t falter.

“I think it would be best for you to leave, sir.”

For a second all was calm.

And in the next, pure fury overtook the man’s face.

The punch was quick and powerful, and Tonio barely had a moment to realize what was happening before he had both hands on the booth table to support his weight with a blooming pain in his jaw. With one of his hands he hesitantly brought it up to test the area, but while it would undoubtedly bruise and was rather tender, nothing felt broken or severely damaged.

Tonio should have seen the punch coming, but alas, hindsight is 20/20. He partially expected a second blow…. but it never came.

In fact, Mr.Giovanna was being awfully quiet.

His grin which had temporarily been chased from his face found itself sliding back into place once more.

It seemed the man finally noticed. Now that their conversation had reached a small pausing point, it was likely that much more obvious, but Tonio still couldn’t help but internally chuckle at the man’s horrendous observation skills.

It was dead silent in the restaurant.

The clicking of silverware, the murmur of conversation, the footsteps of the waitstaff, all of it had vanished into thin air.

And as Tonio stood back up to his full height, one merely needed to glance around the room to see why.

Every single customer and staff member was staring at them.

And not one was happy.

Expressions ranged from murderous fury to offended disgust to cold disapproval. Weapons of all types were in hand: knives, firearms, utensils, even a few Stands had joined the fray.

Sometimes being neutral felt like a curse, but in this moment? In this moment Tonio had never felt freer.

Because everyone respected the rules inside Trattoria Trussardi.

And those who didn’t……

“You’ve broken the rules, Mr.Giovanna.” Tonio spoke, a grin still on his face. Only now he let the pleasantries fade away. Now, he let his grin stretch wide and manic, filled with teeth and not quite reaching his eyes.

To an outsider, it was downright predatory.

And Mr.Giovanna, finally realizing the lion’s den he had stumbled headfirst into, froze.

But Tonio did not care.

Not one bit.

He nudged the man to the side with the back of his hand, and didn’t even resist the urge to wipe it on his apron afterwards. He’d need to wash his hands later, wouldn’t want the food suffering from whatever filth that man possessed.

“Giorno,” he asked quietly, his body relaxing and growing soft at the bright, vibrant hope sparkling in the boy’s eyes. “Would you like to join me for dinner?”

Giorno’s eyes widened, growing glossy and shiny yet not a single tear spilt.

“I would.” he said in a hushed whisper, as though the words would break if he was too rough with them, and in Tonio’s heart the only regret he felt was that he hadn’t done this sooner.

He gently grabbed Giorno’s hand to tug him away from the booth seat with as much gentleness as he could, leading him toward the back door that led to the stairs up to his apartment. Giorno’s hand was so small, yet it clung to Tonio’s like a lifeline.

He would call Doppio later tonight to help with the paperwork, of course after Giorno had eaten and gone to sleep. He had more than enough spare funds for the shopping trip that would be required tomorrow, but it would also likely be best to ask if there was anything Giorno wanted from his now-ex-parents house. He’d likely have to rearrange some furniture upstairs, Giorno would need his own room obviously, maybe cash in a favor or two to help, and of course possibly transferring schools which meant even more paperwork-

But that was tomorrow. Tonight, he got to look forward to a nice, calm dinner that for the first time since inviting Doppio in wouldn’t be alone. 

And just as he nudged Giorno through the door…

“Marco.”

“Yeah Boss?”

Tonio liked Marco. A good head on his shoulders, a competent host and waiter, had potential for a manager position, always called in ahead of time if gang work interfered with his schedule, and on the rare occasion things got out of hand he was good at regaining order.

“I’m temporarily waiving the ‘no violence’ rule.” Tonio said. “Make sure nobody breaks anything important and if things get too noisy, see to it that it’s moved elsewhere.”

Marco’s eyes lit up with an emotion he didn’t dare to place, but his face remained stoic. “‘Course, Boss.”

Tonio looked back to the restaurant, his eyes soft and smile warm in a way that did not match the manic and horrifying implication of his words in the slightest.

“You have 30 minutes. Try to keep the mess to a minimum.”

The future looked bright and Tonio felt happy.

The meal that fights back

[alexanderthejustalright]

[a-998h]

Could you make an DIU with a Halloween theme with the Reader being a magical creature (those that play with humans in a harmless way?)

*Reader after throwing eggs at Rohan's house because he didn't accept giving them candy*

Reader is a Zashiki warashi

You lived in one of houses of ghost alley, with Reimi and her dog Arnold not knowing you were there. Due to the limits of being a zashiki warashi, you went house hunting, and now you've found new friends and a grumpy green haired man.

Authors note: Halloween is more of an adult holiday in Japan, and trick or treating is not common, so I went with a harmless yokai.

You start your journey in his house.

Josuke wakes up one Saturday to his mother yelling in anger.

When he asks what's wrong, he's chewed out for "knocking over the laundry powder, not cleaning it up, and tracking footprints all over the parlor!"

Except, he was asleep and never went into the laundry room.

Despite this, he's forced to clean the mess while his mom goes grocery shopping.

This keeps happening for days and he and his mom are sick of it

Neither of them know what's causing the mess and it's getting really bothersome trying to clean it up when ashe or soap powder is tracked through the parlor

The mystery is sloved when Josuke is staying up late, playing video games on a Friday night

Out of the corner of his eye, he sees a child shaped thing

He freaks out and brings out Crazy Diamond

You hide and he demands answers

"I *sniffles* I just wanted to play with you," you say

Well, there's goes his heart and anger

Once he calms down, he looks at you with a sigh

Now, when you explain your situation, he feels a but bad for you

Now, he'll use his allowance to buy you candy

Around Halloween, he's shocked to see you interacting with other people

When he learns you can interact fully with people during Halloween, he gets excited

That is now your pseudosibling bonding day

Doesn't know if you can see stands or not, you can

Uses Crazy Diamond to fix the toys he buys for you

Asks you about yourself, and how you ended up in his house

One Halloween, his mom sees you and he tells her you're a kid he's babysitting

Kind of gets annoyed with your messy pranks

Is willing to introduce you to his friends and family if you're willing

Might think you're a victim of Kira and that fuels his resolve to stop Kira

He learns about you after coming over to hang out with Josuke that Halloween

Freaks out, thinking Josuke messed around with a girl and had a kid

Once he's told you're not Josuke's child, just a yokai who hangs out in his house, he's all smiles

Asks you a lot of questions about being a yokai

Now, he's willing to act as your big brother

Is a tad less willing to buy you candy, cause he's cheap

Makes up for it by playing with you a lot

Might accidentally scare you with the video games he plays

Willing to show you how to play the games if your interested

Finds your mischief funny, unless it's in his way

He and Josuke might look for your grave, whether you're a Kira victim or not

Is so happy on Halloween when you can actually hug him

If Tonio's is open late, he'll take you there

Shows of The Hand to you

Makes the most of your time together

Sometimes gets overexcited and scares you

Might teach you to swear

Encourages you to prank Rohan

Will not use you as a cheat on his history homework

Was told about you by Josuke and Okuyasu

At first, he though they were pranking him

When he meets you, he has a slight freak out

Now, he's calm around you

Might bring over some of his sister's old toys

Keeps you away from video games that might scare you

Brings out Echoes so you have someone to play with

Brings you candy, and doesn't worry about you brushing your teeth

On Halloween, he might take you to his house so you can hang out with Police

Is happy when you bond with his mother and sister

Gets nervous when trying to cover up your supernatrual nature

Keeps you far from Rohan for Rohan's sake

Is on guard when Yukako even glances at you

Researches the history of your era

Does everything in his power to make you comfortable in the modern world

Teaches you about the modern world

Loves seeing you get excited about modern toys and candies

She met you the same time Koichi did

Screams at first

When she learns you're harmless, she goes to hug you

Now, you have a carzy older sister

Asks you about yourself all the time

Learns to make modern alternatives to your favorite ancient dishes

On Halloween, she'll take you to her house and will make you hang out with her

Buys you a lot of toys and candy

Plays dress up with you

Is a weird mix between obcessive mom and older sister

Very strict about strange danger

Makes the most of her time with you when you're on the mortal world

Worried about you when things with Kira get worse

Takes you out in public

Threatens you with a child leash if you keep being a menace

Reads you childrens books

Curious about your age

Will try and teach you thinks from modern times

The whole town has been told that you're her cousin

You don't like him, and he doesn't like you

You took a Halloween walk and ran into him, literally

He got mad, you asked for candy, and he told you to get lost

Now, Rohan has a child ghost pranking him

Fucking hates this

Keeps you out of his manga room

Might just hand you paper and a pencil and tell you to draw somewhere else

Hates when your pranks make a mess

Will ask you about your era for research of he makes another series

So pissed when you egged his house for not giving you candy

If you annoy him enough, he'll take you on his sketching outing

Tries to use Heavens Door on you

Heavens Door is now you playmate

Will use a child leash on you

Does everything in his power to keep you under control

Keeps you locked inside after dark on Halloween

If you beg hard enough, he'll give you drawing lessons

He doesn't believe you exist

Thinks you're just a piece of his brain that feels a bit guilty

Your pranks do annoy him

While he doesn't believe in you, you make him act like an exhausted parent

I don't think he's highly superstitious, but he does believe in super natural beings, such as gods

Only really acknowledges you when you get in the way of hisserial killing

Gives in and leaves candy for you so you stop bothering him

Knows you're super natural because Killer Queen can see you but he can't

On Halloween, you show up on his door and he is so confused

Acts like a good person and gets the small child home, and then you appear it his house 10 minutes later

Thinks you're here to torture him for his actions but plays it cool

Does everything he can to keep you out of his house and life

When his end arrives, he sees you and realizes he's stuck with you forever now
