Not So Tough Now

Summary: After Jojo’s “dramatic change”, she wants to act more edgy and tough. So you prove that she’s still as adorable and delicate as she was when she was younger. (Not me trying to actually write good 💀 this was a dare btw)

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Jojo was your best friend. You have been close with her ever since Nickelodeon. You couldn’t help but notice how much she’s changed. She went from being an adorable little girl with rainbows and bows to a tough and so-called “edgy” 21 year old.

Though you’ve missed your best friend, things do change. And Jojo changed drastically, but not so much for the better. She’s been acting way more spazzy and somewhat rugged lately. Ever since she released “Karma”.

Jojo was impressed with herself. Clearly NO ONE could love Jojo more than Jojo, and you dared not to tell her Karma wasn’t as good as she thinks it is. But she was your best friend and though she’s changed a few things, you wanted to make her happy. She already refused to read her TikTok comments…

Not only was the Karma music video not the best…but it was also a little inappropriate. Jojo didn’t mind it, she was lesbian after all…but it was not very impressive to see her doing doohickey with another dancer. But you swore you’d always support her through her decisions.

Jojo was your roommate, housemate, etc. So after going out into Times Square and filming herself doing her famous choreograph, which wasn’t bad, she walks in somewhat excited.

“Heyyyyy!!!!” She greets you, it was annoying and a little too enthusiastic.

“Hey!” You greet back. “Such a spaz.”

Jojo lets out a LOUD laugh, echoing throughout the room. It was somewhat raspy. “Just living a good life! You know, when you’re both an influencer AND a singer…”

“Mhm. We get it, Jojo.” You cut her off with a nervous laugh.

“Good!” Jojo smiles widely. “Aren’t you proud of me?”

“Very, and you know it.” You try your best to act positive for her.

Jojo giggles and then looks at the direction of your home speaker. You two really like listening to music and sometimes doing karaoke when you are in the mood. But today you were not. And Jojo does not care what you think of her, she does not get insecure. So she scrolls on her phone and puts on Karma.

“Watch this!” Jojo giggles again, running through the entire Karma dance. The part in the song, aka her favorite part comes on…”Karma’s a bitch, I should’ve known better”...Jojo did the dance so loud and obnoxiously the entire ground shook as she stomped her foot. You groaned.

“Jojo, please…I’m not in the mood today for you to do this…”

Jojo didn’t listen and continued dancing, which made you sigh loudly and turn the speaker off. Jojo looked at you a little puzzled and smiled sheepishly.

“Why’d you turn it off?” She asks, fixing her gold chain.

“Because it's loud and obnoxious and you need to calm down. Some of us had a long day. I mean, how long can you go doing that stupid dance until you just get sick of it?” You ask, annoyed.

“I can go forever! It’s called having fun. Sometimes I think you don’t like the new me…but guess what? I do!” She smiles, her blue eyes piercing into yours.

“I’ve done nothing but support you. All I ask is just not today.” You lick your lips, standing up from the couch to get leveled with her.

“But I want to have fun.” Jojo’s smile fades slightly. “You’re just jealous I’m living my best life.”

You huff. “Absolutely not. You need to tone it down significantly.” You warn, getting a little more frustrated.

“I don’t change for others, I change for me.” She frowns ever slightly as she notices how upset you’re getting. “I’m sorry but I like the new me and this is just a small part of what it looks like.”

You sigh. “What ever happened to the adorable sparkly bow girl?” You raise your eyebrows.

“Pff, adorable? Maybe. I’m just more mature.” Jojo says proudly, her smile returning.

“Mature is NOT the right word. You’re not as cute as you used to be.” You cross your arms.

“Excuse me!” Jojo drops her jaw slightly, still smiling. But she soon remembers she’s trying to act tough and not seem cute. “And it’s not like I want to be cute…”Jojo lies.

You bite back a smirk. “Almost feels bad, once in a while you need a reminder how cute you can become. You say you’re so tough…” You trail off. Jojo looks up at your eyes, slight anticipation building up as you tell her she needed a “reminder.” What did that mean? She can only wonder.

“I am tough.” Jojo puffs out her chest, she was going to be put in her place. Easily.

“But what's under that tough shell?” You say, smirk coming back fully as you grab your friend, pull her into a bear hug and tackle her down to the couch. Giggles erupted from her mouth, betraying her from trying to remain arrogant and stubborn.

Once you had her waist straddled, she looked up at you and tried to push you off. You grabbed both of her arms and pinned them above her head. She let out a yelp in surprise.

You held her arms up with one hand and clawed at her armpits with the other. She busted into giggles immediately, her face turning red.

“STOHOP!” She squeals, raspy cackles overcoming her as she squirmed underneath your grasp, her body tossing and turning.

You began clawing at her ribs, alternating between her armpits and ribs. She laughed LOUDLY and shook her head. “Why? You have a well known weakness and I’m exploiting it to make sure you’re not so egotistical.”

Jojo cackles underneath you. She was becoming redder than the time she sang “Traitor” in her car…

You pause quickly and take her arms again. Grabbing her by her wrists, you pin her hands under your knees. She could not pull them back even if she tried, being pinned by your body weight…so she had no choice but to endure what spots were going to be targeted next.

You began scribbling your fingers all over her sides and belly, occasionally drilling into her hip bones with your thumbs. She squealed and laughed wildly underneath you, thrashing and kicking her feet. She was really, really, ticklish…maybe even a little more than she used to be. You had playful tickle fights with your roommate often for the shits and giggles…but to fully pin her and expose her? This was gold.

“Oh my god, Jojo…” You chuckle.

“SHUHUT UP AND LEHET MEHE GOHO!” Jojo thrashes, whining. Sure didn’t look like she was upset…she was smiling real big.

“Look at how ticklish you are…” You snarked.

“NONO-”

You knead your fingers into her belly, really digging in and tickling her soft flesh over the fabric of her shirt. This elicited a series of squeals and little shrieks from her. Her laugh was grating, but making her laugh so hard from a few tickles was just so adorable.

“Looks like the big bad tough edgy rebel Jojo Siwa has a soft underbelly after all.” You tease, tracing the word “karma” on her tummy with your finger, pretending she was a canvas. This made her quiver and giggle lightly.

“For the record…I am all of those things…” Jojo says, trying to keep her tough demeanor. Which was not a good idea seeing the position she is being put in right now.

“Absolutely not, bow girl.” You exhale, your face dropping the smirk. “You’re still my silly and childish best friend. Drop this bad-bitch attitude you’ve been pulling off and give me back my friend.”

Jojo scowls in denial. “Oh, no no no. This is who I am…and if I want to flex it to you then so be it! You’re still my best friend, but I wanna take things up several notches!” She smiles haughtily.

“So that’s the game you wanna play, hm?” You unpin her arms and get a firm grip of the hem of her shirt.

“Yes, in fact. It is the game I am willing to play, and win!” She pauses, feeling her shirt being lifted and cold air waft across her now slightly exposed tummy. “What are you doing…?”

Jojo grabbed your wrists, but you were not letting go of the hem which you held a few inches above her belly button.

“You indulge yourself in the game. So, let’s play.” You smirk, gaze wandering from Jojo’s blue eyes to her belly.

Before Jojo could protest, she kept her hands on your wrists, but you had outsmarted her. You blew a massive and messy raspberry on her belly and she didn’t know how to take it. So she laid there and let out a scream of laughter.

Jojo squirmed and giggled in delight, feebly pushing your head away from her belly, but you kept blowing and she soon gave up on squirming. She was enduring it. Never had she felt so weak…she felt like she was a baby in your grasp…

“PLEHEASE NOHO MORE!” She begged, desperately trying to push you away and pull her shirt down.

“Oh but Jojo, you’re acting like a child right now.” You poke her tummy in one area, then you blow a raspberry on it.

Jojo squealed again. “I-I’M NOHOT A CHILD! I’M-”

“If you say edgy big girl then I swear to GOD.”

“EHEDGY BIHIG GIRL- AHHHHHHHHHH!” Jojo shrieks, you punished her with the biggest raspberry you could blow on her tummy. Damn, this girl really knows how to laugh.

Jojo was so flushed, redder than a tomato. So you blow another to really torture her.

With further begging and pleading, Jojo starts getting really out of breath.

“Alright, alright. Let’s cut to the chase. Say you’re sorry. I want my bow-girl back.” You blow another raspberry right above her belly button. Jojo, out of breath, decides to give in.

“I surrender…!” She says.

“Good!” You pull her shirt back down and get off of her, she’s breathless on the couch, but at least you’ve won this round. Sadly, due to her energy she gets right back on her feet and is now standing inches away from you.

“I may be your stupid…bow bestie…” You and Jojo cringe slightly at that. “But I will repay you for that unnecessary torture!” She giggles and starts chasing after you, you both giggling the entire time.

Jojo then got you cornered and wrecked the shit out of you, doing everything you did to her back to you. At least she was…still spazzy…? Oh, fuck.

[scarymonsters-andsupercreeps]

This guy has been rattling around in my brain for a while so I thought I might as well make a debut post for him! Everyone meet my JoJo oc: Lee Mugler!

He’s from stone ocean and works alongside Miu Miu as a prison guard! He primarily stays in the men’s wing of the prison, usually in disguise as an inmate.

He has a Stand, but it’s really complicated so I won’t talk about it here. If you guys think he’s cool I might make a post about it! Also feel free to send asks if you’re curious!

His design and name might change in the future, I’m still not 100% sure about either of them. I hope he fits in with the rest of the characters!

Special thanks to @/beautifulunknowntrash and @/fluffytimearts for helping with his design!

Hi!

So apparently GMMTV will be announcing their 2024 line up in October!

Which actors do you think will be paired together this time? I feel like Mix and Pond have hinted they will be studying more so maybe not their pairings…. GeminiFourth said they will have a series so definitely them…

I would love to see ThorFluke plus Pawin with anyone and Drake with anyone!

What are your predictions?

Ooooo, GMMTV 2024 Pure Speculation

(remember if it's not data driven I'm historically pretty bad at this, but sure, let's shoot the shizz)

Most Likely

EarthMix - they're reading v burned out (in addition to Mix + school) but they are currently GMMTV's cash cow so I can't imagine GMMTV won't try to put them in something, no matter what Mix said... but it's possible they'll be let rest for most of 2024.

First & Khao - naturally, if GMMTV can find a script the boys like, these two are likely their the biggest pair earners (if EarthMix really are out).

GeminiFourth - of course, the new princes

ForceBook - honestly they are steady, reliable workhorses who visually suit many BL scripts, they seem easy to work with, fun, and game. Not the most charismatic pair and I'm shaky on their range and versatility, but GMMTV clearly doesn't feel that way. I think it's pretty likely they will get something... I just hope it is something interesting. Are they bankable enough for a historical? That's the real question.

Not Sure

JoongDunk - I really don't know, I think they are slightly more likely than not but they keep getting lackluster scripts. GMMTV is more likely to blame the pair than the show. And it is possible they are just a lackluster pair... too.

JimmySea - what happen to (or will happen with) Last Twilight?

I'd like to see Jimmy paired with someone else. He's too charismatic for Sea. To really break us they should pair him with Gun and just burn down the world. GMMTV would never do this, tho.

Least Likely

It's unlikely PondPhuwin will lead out a show. Pond def said something about going back to school. (Which is code for a long break, if nothing else). They're good but less $ than EarthMix so I think GMMTV will back off from them.

OffGun - I'm not saying it won't happen anymore, but...

TayNew - see above

Bright with... anyone but Win.

A queer can dream, tho.

Some noodling

I do think First & Khao were successful enough, and Only Friends will be enough of a sensation, for GMMTV to consider more First Khao style stuff. AKA instead of just dropping a whole pair, GMMTV will try rearranging pairs. Especially for couples that had previously been mostly just sides.

So we can expect Neo, Mark, Marc, Puwin, Aou, possibly even the twins or the Flukes show up paired "experimentally" with different other actors. Some that may genuinely surprise us.

That said, I'd like some more role swapping too.

For example, with Pond away, and him getting older and being SO established in the genre, I would love to see Phuwin play a seme roll. Not sure he has the personality for it in terms of how he's bonded with some of the newer GMMTV talent since I don't watch any of the variety/BTS anymore, but he has the screen presence.

Remember originally Neo & Phuwin had a pairing... I wonder if that would ever happen again.

I would love love LOVE to see Tay paired with someone else. I thought he was a revelation in 3 Will Be Free showing range I'd no idea he had and he's such a big puppy and friendly with everyone. I bet he could get many partners to trust and relax.

Similarly New needs to play a seme. I think he once said he'd rather not do BL with anyone but Tay, but I still think he'd be fun to see.

So New is less likely, but I think we can safely assume Tay would be game. With TayNew it's whether their shipper/stalker fans would "allow" this.

What GMMTV Wants/Needs

I said in the past they needed to onboard new talent and they went for free agents (Joong, Perth). I thought they'd go for whole pairs, and I still think they'd be wise to consider this.

Given they're likely shifting focus on expansion into darker, higher heat, and more gritty arenas (which I think they need to do given the paucity of scripts within their preferred BL style, the tenor of the market, and the aging of their existing stable) what they want is Zee++. Now they can't wrestle him/his pair free of Dormundi, so...

For solos they are looking for:

actors who have lost their pair, have range into dark territory, will do high heat, and can play harsher seme roles (tall a bonus.)

If they're smart they make a play for Bible, but I wouldn't rule out Lee Long Shi. Both actors have a style that fills a niche in the GMMTV stable and are pro enough to work well in a new pair that GMMTV sets for them.

You KNOW they want Bible. How could they not? Can you imagine?

If they go after a pair?

If they're smart as I think they are? They want NetJames. And they might be able to get them, depending on contracts. NetJames has been awful quiet recently, they either are actually finally filming Love Upon a Time or that's fallen through and they're in contract negotiations. YinWar and JaFirst are also tempting prospects, I would imagine. Especially Ja.

It's this "new pair to GMMTV" announcement I'm most interested in, come October.

I think I'm leaving a key high heat pair on the table, but GMMTV also has a specific appearance and acting style they tend to cast for, and not all of the current indy heat pairs have that. Plus their are high value pairs that clearly do not want to sign with or work with GMMTV (OhmFluke for example) so that's a factor.

Finally, you KNOW they want to recreate the magic of GeminiFourth with young talent so I would bet they are actively recruiting high school grade pink milk via auditions, so we can expect one set of totally fresh faces.

Also tumblr ate half this post so I might have missed a few pairs worth discussing, because I had them but it deleted them. Don't blame me, blame tumblr, and leave a comment.

FYI my predictions for 2023 were as follows:

10 GMMTV THAI BL 2023 Predictions (and how I did)

(these are the ones I made last year before their announcements)

EarthMix (yes, 2x)

something with Joong but not paired with Dunk (nope, they tried the same thing again)

dito Jimmy (not sure what's going on there)

what the hell: Lee does a BL (still no, last man standing)

probably a new attempt at ForceBook (yep)

2 set in high school and fewer set in uni (yep/nope)

at least 1 set in an office of some kind and at least 2 set in the countryside (yep/sorta but mostly nope)

one experimental paranormal/alt reality/time slip (yep)

something Friend Zone messy featuring several LBGTQ+ characters and couples and higher heat (yep)

an attempt to resurrect big guns like TayNew (yep - if cherry magic happens) or even BrightWin (nope, they went for OffGun instead, who I had thought were out)

So here's my...

10 GMMTV THAI BL 2024 Predictions

First & Khao lead out something non-school and complex (GMMTV BL grows up)

ForceBook & GeminiFourth get new shows

Phuwin paired with someone else

GMMTV starts experimenting more with busting up and rearranging pairs

What the hell, Tay does a BL with not New.

We see Joong and Perth star in something GMMTV but not BL

GMMTV pulls in at least one established outside talent who plays harsh seme roles and has a more aggressive tone

GMMTV recruits/onboards an established pair who can and is willing to do higher heat

They option something v complex: crime thriller, mystery, suspense, historical even, I wonder if they might be interested in adapting say... Trapped.

JoJo gets to helm another "off brand" show

What I want them to do?

Finally admit that they can take an established script and "make it gay" and just LEAN in. Descendants of the Sun, but gay. Business Proposal, but gay. Home Town Cha Cha Cha... but gay. Thailand has the latent pool and the screen time but they don't have the scripts/stories.

Time to look to Korea and just fill in the gap that Korea is already leaving on the table (by only doing short form BLs).

Korea has the romances. Hundreds of them. MANY of which are not gender dependent.

Can you fucking imagine if Boss & Babe had been that exact cast but GMMTV doing a gay Dali and the Cocky Prince instead? It would have been amazing.

Joseph Joestar: The Phobia Expert

[TickleTober Day 10: Spidering]

Summary:

Word Count: 2091

Pairing: Josecae implied

A/N: This is my first jjba fic yippeee

I always found it funny how it's canon that Caesar doesn't like bugs, so here we are. :]

(also im posting this on my laptop because mobile tumblr is busted for me rn. so if the formatting looks goofy, sorry :'))

Joseph was on the balcony of Lisa Lisa’s castle, watching the waves dash against the rocks of Air Supplena Island. Despite the gorgeous view, the Joestar was left grumbling and irritated.

“Stupid Caesar… stupid Lisa Lisa… stupid Island…” He huffed, chucking a pebble over the rails.

Of the three things he mentioned, his new training partner took the cake. Joseph had never met someone so insufferable.

Simply thinking about his smug face got under the brunette’s skin even further, bringing him to kick the concrete like an angry child.

“Who does he think he is?! He’s nothing but a-”

Before he could finish that thought, a panicked yell echoed through the halls of the massive building. It was hard to place where exactly it was coming from, but it sounded like it was from… Caesar’s room? And that was certainly Caesar yelling!

In spite of his distaste towards the man, Joseph dropped everything and darted through the halls.

Was Caesar okay?! What was he yelling about?! Were they already under attack?!

Joseph couldn’t get the worried thoughts out of his head. Sure, he hated his training partner… but he didn’t want him to get hurt.

When he reached the Italian’s room, he kicked the door open and frantically scanned the area.

“CAESAR?! WHA-“

But the sight had him stopped in his tracks.

The normally pristine room was now a chaotic mess. The bed sheets were crumpled and peeling off the mattress, pillows were on the floor, the desk was a disorganized sprawl of papers— it was as though Caesar had already been fighting a battle which he was losing terribly.

The Italian was standing on his mattress, holding onto the wall and gasping for air. His normally neat hair was mussed and his skin was a few shades paler than it usually was. His eyes were wide and panicked and… maybe even a little wet.

It looked like a tornado had struck the room, which was NOT how Caesar liked things. 

What the hell happened? It looked like the threat was still present by the state the older man looked.

“CAESAR!! WHAT HAPPENED?! ARE THEY HERE?!” Joseph asked wildly, his eyes scanning rapidly around the room.

Caesar’s head snapped to the door, a bit panicked by the fact that someone else was witnessing this. Nevertheless, he was relieved to have some backup.

“J-Jojo!! The chair!!”

Joseph blinked, his brows knitting in confusion. He looked at the chair, but nothing was there… at least nothing big enough to see from where he was standing. 

He stepped closer…

“CAREFUL, JOJO!!!” Caesar pleaded.

What on earth was the blonde so freaked out about? It must be some sort of invisible- wait…

Joseph froze in his place.

There was no way… no way THAT was what the great Caesar Zeppeli was so freaked out about.

Joseph kept his eyes glued to the spider at the top of the backrest. Sure, it wasn’t a tiny spider by any means… but a SPIDER?! Caesar was a hamon user for crying out loud!

“Um… Caesar?”

“What?! Why aren’t you doing anything?!”

The spider, however, was getting a bit antsy from all the noise happening around it. It started crawling to the back of the chair, and the movement made the poor Italian squeal in terror as he clutched onto the wall with a death grip.

The Brit couldn’t stop the laugh that jumped from his throat. This was just too good…

“Caesar, it’s just a little spider!”

Caesar, however, wasn’t finding this funny in the slightest. He shot the taller man a look of desperation, his eyes wide with terror as they flickered between Joseph and the spider.

“It’s not little, you dolt!!! I-It’s the size of my hand!!!”

Joseph snorted. “Yeah, your palm…”

The spider, oblivious to their conversation, started skittering down the backrest, getting closer to the floor. The sight made the Italian more frantic and he squeezed his eyes shut, a slight waver to his voice.

J-Just kill it or something… anything!!!”

The brunette’s head tilted at that. 

Caesar sounded legitimately distressed… as much as he didn’t like the guy, he couldn’t just let him suffer mentally. 

He sighed and bent over to untie his shoe, taking it off his foot and standing back up. Fearlessly, he strode over to the innocent creature and squished it with a loud thump. He almost felt bad about it, but he knew the Italian wouldn’t calm down unless the thing was dead-dead.

He put his boot back on and stood up, leaning against the wall and crossing his arms.

“There. Nothing but a pancake now.”

Caesar was speechless for a few moments, staring at the little corpse. He eventually exhaled, his shoulders slumping as the tension drained out of his body. As he let the air out, he let his body drop onto the mattress, crossing his legs and burying his face in his hands.

“T-Thanks…” He muttered under his breath.

The Joestar cocked his head to the side, raising a brow. He wasn’t used to seeing his partner like this and he kind of hated it.

Not that he LIKED the guy’s cocky, know-it-all attitude… but seeing him all undone like this? That was worse.

Sure, over his interactions with Caesar, he’d think to himself that he wanted to see the guy undone and break that stupid facade. But he didn’t mean he wanted to see him terrified over a stupid little spider, though it was admittedly kinda funny at first…

“What makes you so terrified of spiders? I mean… you fight nasty, immortal beings, so what’s the deal?”

The question caught Caesar off guard. Joseph sounded legitimately curious… he wasn’t mocking him or anything, just asking a simple question.

“Well, I don’t know. It’s an irrational fear, okay? And it’s all bugs… the way they skitter around… they’re all disgusting and they’ve got too many legs and some of them are slimy and-”

“Alright, alright, point taken.” The Brit cut him off, rolling his eyes. Something inside of Joseph wanted to help… but he wasn’t much for feelings, nor was he a therapist.

But something about that spider gave him a different idea…

Suddenly that signature cheeky grin spread across the taller man’s face as he rose from the chair, striding over to the bed to plop next to the Italian.

“You know, Caesar… I’m a bit of a phobia expert. I bet I can get rid of your weird bug thing in no time!”

Caesar looked over at the cocky look on Joseph’s face, a mixture of annoyance and dread filling his stomach. 

He knew that look… it was the look of someone up to no good.

“Oh yeah? And how do propose we ‘get rid of it?’” He scoffed, crossing his arms.

“Close your eyes.”

“Absolutely not”

“C’mooon…” Joseph whined, “just do it!”

The Italian wasn’t easily swayed… not at all. But the guy was offering to at least mitigate his phobia. He knew it was likely a load of crap, but he couldn’t help his curiosity. 

“Fine…” He grumbled, his eyes fluttering shut.

Seeing the shorter man listen to his command, Joseph’s eyes sparkled with mischief. He raised his hands and wiggled his fingers in preparation, then they dove into the blonde’s neck, skittering against the soft skin like the legs of itty bitty spiders.

Caesar’s eyes shot open and he jolted.

“GAH!” He yelped, immediately trying to swat the Brit’s fingers away. “W-What are you doing?!”

The response made Joseph’s heart leap.

“Exposure therapy!” He exclaimed cheerfully, giving a playful wink.

He continued to mimick an insect’s walk with his fingers, spidering his nails along his partner’s neck and occasionally wandering up behind his ears, eliciting uncharacteristic squeaks. The Italian was a mess of giggles, a state the Joestar never thought he’d see him in.

It was quite refreshing. But was it adorable? Absolutely not!

…

Okay, maybe a little…

“J-Jojohoho, stop it, you oaf!” Caesar protested between noises of mirth, bringing his shoulders up to his ears and his chin to his chest, a failed attempt at protecting his ticklish spots.

No matter what he did, the Brit was persistent, digits scrabbling over any spot he could reach. It didn’t matter if his targets were cut off, he’d easily find a substitute.

“No can do, Caesarino! You gotta face your fears!” Joseph snickered, enjoying the Italian’s frantic laughs and snorts.

Caesar was squirming every which way, trying to get the brunette’s hands away from him, but that only seemed to make the tickling more intense.

His cheeks had tinted scarlet by now, the smile on his face more genuine than his usual cocky smirk. His nose was scrunched and his eyes squeezed shut, refusing to look at the taller’s teasing expression.

His attempts at pushing the offending hands away were futile. 

He was a skilled hamon user, sure… but with all the laughter, he couldn’t regulate his breathing. He would surely blow Joseph out the window once this was over though, regardless of whether it was helping or not.

“Q-Quit it!!” Caesar insisted, still batting at the fingers while trying to twist away from them. 

He was also desperately holding back his amusement. He really didn’t want to give the annoying brunette the satisfaction of giving him a good time… even though he kind of already did.

“You know, Caesar… I didn’t exactly peg you as the ticklish type~” The Joestar teased with a mischievous smirk, fluttering his fingers down to the smaller man’s collarbones, earning a loud squeal, which got an amused chuckle out of the tickler.

“S-Stop laughing!!” Caesar huffed, but as soon as the words came out, a wave of bright, hysterical laughter tore from his throat, his head falling back from the strength of them.

What caused this? Joseph had found his ribs.

The spidering gimmick was given up in favor of digging into the sensitive ribcage, the younger man’s eyes lighting up with glee at the dramatic reactions.

“Aw, did I find a good spot?~” He teased with a grin, easily overpowering his training partner due to how weakened he was from the tickling.

Seeing the uptight Italian shrieking and giggling like a little kid was something Joseph couldn’t have predicted. He also couldn’t have predicted how cute it would be…

Why was this so cute?!

Caesar was oblivious to the subtle blush on Joseph’s cheeks as he himself was reduced to helpless flailing and stuttering giggles as those damned fingers dug skillfully between each bone, lighting his nerves on fire with tickly sensations.

He fell back on the bed, still squirming and laughing like a madman.

“M-Mercy…! Plehehease!” He cried frantically, a couple mirthful tears falling down his burning cheeks.

Joseph immediately pulled his hands away, snapped out of his slight daze. He was so wrapped in his own thoughts that he forgot the poor guy needed to breathe and-

Wait… did Caesar just beg for mercy?! He never thought he’d see the day.

The brunette crossed his arms and leaned against the bed frame, giving his training partner some room to calm down. There was a cocky smirk on his face as he watched the normally suave hamon user reduced to a giggly mess.

He was starting to like the guy more than he’d like to admit…

It took a few moments for Caesar to catch his breath. His cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were still slightly watery from the attack. 

As he sat there gasping, he shot a glare towards Joseph.

“S-stupid idiot…” He muttered breathlessly. But there was no real bite to his words, and the corners of his mouth were upturned in a slight smile.

The sight drew a red hue to Joseph’s cheeks, but he played it off by carrying his playful demeanor.

“Well? Are you still freaking out about that silly spider?”

The question caused Caesar to huff and roll his eyes. He didn’t wanna admit it, but…

“Fine… maybe you’re not totally useless like I thought before…”

Joseph’s grin widened and he was going to make a snarky comment, but something in the Italian’s expression prevented him.

“Thank you, Jojo…”

Caesar’s words made the taller man blink with surprise. His face was overtaken with disbelief and he waited for the Italian to follow it up with a sarcastic remark, but that moment never came.

The man was serious.

“N-No problem.”

When his training partner gave a smile in response, Joseph’s heart leaped.

Maybe Caesar wasn’t so bad after all… maybe Joseph even liked him a little bit.
