You were similar to Kakyoin and Polnareff in the sense that you were used by Dio, controlled with a fleshbud. You were forced to do things you would never do, your autonomy was gone. Nothing. That's all you could do and were while you were under Dio's control, forced to be a pawn for him.

That was true until the Stardust Crusaders had found you. Well, more like fought you. You had put up a damn good fight too, your stand was very useful. After they knocked you out, instead of letting Star Platinum 'retire' you... He took the fleshbud out. Then, you were pretty much a part of the team. You had your own motivation to defeat Dio, most of the crusaders did too. But, none of that mattered. You were all here with one common goal...send that horrible man down to hell where he belongs.

Though, after the fleshbud was extracted... You had trouble falling asleep after that. Not just trouble. Fear. Fear had plagued your mind, seeing Dio in your head. Every time you slept, he was there. Just dozing off. He was there. He was always there. Even in your mind, where you could think the happiest thoughts and remember the fun times... Dio would eventually make his way into the dream. So, you decided not to sleep. You could not deal with it. Seeing him everywhere. It was horrible.

The Stardust Crusaders noticed, but, specifically Polnareff did. Especially because you both were sharing a hotel room.

"Mon dieu! You know, the past nights I couldn't help but notice you haven't been sleeping. Or sleeping late! Why! Is there something wrong?" He asked, lighthearted but still concerned. He was never one to beat around the bush.

After hesitating a little and his reassurance, you explained everything. How Dio always lurked, he was always in your head. You were terrified. He was always there. So, you decided not to sleep to stop it. No sleep means no Dio in your dreams...

"Oh, Ma Cherie! I understand that." His tone shifted, he wasn't the silly-goofy Polnareff that was usually seen. "I had a fleshbud too, you know? We are the same. Dio... He's horrible. I am also terrified, honestly. But, what can we do? I know... We must fight back. Face our enemies. Face him. We cannot hide, even though it may be scary, Mon Coeur. But, don't worry. We are all here together. We are a team. I am here. It's very unhealthy to go this long without sleeping..." He thought for a moment, nothing more, nothing less. "I will stay up while you sleep. In case anything happens, if Dio or one of his little goons show up... I will fight them. I will keep you safe. You need to sleep." He said, it's like he had already decided that he would be on lookout while you slept.

You were shocked. You knew he was a good guy, but offering this? That was so considerate and kind. But, you thought, it would just do the same to him? If he didn't sleep it would be unhealthy for him. He shouldn't be unhealthy for you. So, you expressed that concern for him.

"I would sacrifice my health for you any day, ma beaute! But, you needn't worry. I can sleep during the car ride tomorrow, you know!" He told you. That did squash your worries. Well, now you have no excuses. You agreed.

It was early in the work day, this was one of the first few missions that Robert had assigned Sonar. He was still in a pretty good mood, except for the fact that there wasn't any coffee left. For such a big agency, you'd think they would have more than a couple of coffee pots but... It is what it is. Coincidentally, once he finished that assignment, he realized that there was a coffee shop nearby. He had only known about it because it was pretty new and he had overheard some people talking about it. So, Sonar didn't see any harm in trying it out.

Sonar made his way to the coffee shop, it wasn't a crazy walk away. But, Sonar still wanted to fly there. It was so much faster than him walking, much more efficient. As he stepped in, he noticed the atmosphere. It was very chill. Very homely. It was very nice. There were only one or two people in line, so, in the meantime he looked at the menu and thought of his order beforehand. Like the respectable man he was.

You and him locked eyes, as he ordered. He sat down with his receipt while you and your coworker worked on some orders. After a few minutes, you called his name with his coffee. You decided, by good faith, and obviously... because he was a hero who helps people daily and deserves it not anything more or less than that...you gave him a free pastry.

"dude, really? Thanks, hot stuff.." He said grabbing his things and going... WAS HE FLIRTING??? You kept your pure excitement in the inside while you felt more heat rushing to your cheeks.

As the weeks went by, he was more frequently showing up and getting food. Sometimes with Malevola, but, most of the time not. You both were also getting to know each other. Mainly through small talk while you made his drinks or while hes paying if its busy.

Today, you were thinking about him a lot. A lot more than usual, in fact. So much so...you were stuck in a day dream! You were late to work! Shit!! You practically ran out the door, thinking of SOME good excuse... You didn't think "daydreamt about crush and eventually lost track of time" was acceptable to tell your boss. But, what you didn't know is that there would be a fight that you had found yourself in the middle of while getting to work. Guess what SDN heroes was dispatched to it? Sonar and Malevola.

They fought, they fought crazy good too. They were a dynamic duo, and apparently very close friends. You could see why, they complimented each other. They ended that fight pretty quick too. Efficient. Like Sonar always was.

Sonar had spotted you in the crowd, Malevola had definitely encouraged him a little. But, he still made his way to you, that's all that matters.

"heyy, crazyy battle, right?" He spoke up. "Are you okay?" He asked, definitely concerned.

You told him you were fine, at most you had some bruises from people bumping into you while trying to run away. Nothing Major.

"You're on your way to the shop, right? Let me walk you there, I insist." He said, in that monotone voice.

You agreed, why wouldn't you!

JOLYNE - I feel like Jolyne would be very comforting and she would try to help by completing tasks (if that's what you're stressed about!) Or just trying to help in any way she can in general. Maybe even doing some special haircare routine if you wanted (but she would definitely let you know you are beautiful whether or not!)

ERMES - She would be similar to Jolyne but she would try to figure out more of the root cause of you being stressed and tackle that specifically. She would also help with other things while you are busy (ex. Helping clean up your environment since that helps get rid of stress too!) I don't think she would mention your hair until you came to her about it but she would be similar to Jolyne by being comforting and finding something you are okay with doing consistently with it, you know?

WEATHER REPORT- He would be more comforting by distracting you. I feel like he would try to get you happy by talking about things you enjoy. Just so you aren't always stressed out, a little escape from that. I also feel like he would go to one of the others for advice on the hair loss part. He wouldn't know a thing about hair since he's bald (my personal headcanon because it's stated in the manga that it is a hat lol)

EMPORIO - My boy would linger, just be a comforting presence. Just being around you while you try to get rid of the stress. I also think he would get you items or little gifts to make you happy. Like Weather, he would probably ask Jolyne's advice!

JOTARO - He would also be more practical like his daughter, completing tasks with you and such. I do feel like he'd be more nonchalant about the hair part, like he would get you hair care stuff and leave it on your desk/near your belongings. Only if you mentioned it. If you didn't he would just mind his own business like usual.

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

JOSUKE - I feel like the all of them would be pretty similar in how they would take care of you. They would both try to distract you and make you happy, whether it be taking you to an arcade, letting you vent to them. Just, whatever you need. I feel like Josuke would definitely get you a bunch of haircare and let you borrow his if you needed it.

OKUYASU - Okuyasu, specifically would get the stress a lot. Especially after losing Keicho, he was kind of left alone. He had to learn and do a lot because Keicho wasn't here to take care of him and his father. So, he would definitely get it and let you know he was always there for you. He would probably give you advice based off his own experience.

KOICHI - Koichi would also be there for you in similar ways as Okuyasu and Josuke. But, he'd be more of the do-er. Like he would take care of you more, making you food if you forget during stress. Letting you vent, and giving you all the support you need. He wouldn't be the most well versed in hair care but, with what advice Josuke gave you he would help you wash your hair and clean it. He would also offer other solutions like hair extensions for the time being if you would like that. The main thing for Koichi is making sure you are comfortable and confident in yourself with this.

ROHAN - He would be really snarky and bitchy, as usual. But, I also feel like he would be a do-er. Like Koichi! Though, he'd definitely be more of a tsundere about it. Plus, if you get really insecure about the hair loss, he would cut his bitchy act and be really genuine and soft with you. It's rare, but, Rohan would care especially if you are close to him. If you tell him you want to do something with haircare to try to grow it back, he would do some research and find the best possible product for your hair type and growth. Price does not matter. But, he would just act like he just found it at the store or it happened to be lying around his house and gave it to you.

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

Humans are selfish beings. It's in their nature, you know? Made to use others. Especially using people that don't understand what they are doing, preying on their kindness and innocence. You were an example of that. You were a god, a pure being created with immense power to do so much. You were also naive. For so long, you gave. You gave so much to people. But one day. You realized. Your kindness was being taken advantage of.

After that, you vowed to never help a human again. Some sore losers came along to do the same as many did when they came for you. They asked for power. You did not agree. These people decided, if you did not give them power... You were useless. They worked to seal you away, maybe then you'd learn you were here to serve humans that thirsted for power. But, you didn't budge. Your anger and will grew. The seal loosened. Once your willpower overcame the seal... Unleashing you to the world. You would let the little humans feel your wrath for taking advantage of you. You changed.

You decided you would wreck havoc on cities, you started small. As you went bigger, SDN got more and more alerts. Unfortunately, Waterboy was the only hero available. Honestly, Robert was insanely hesitant to send him in alone. But, he told the rest of the Z team to come the second that they had finished their current mission. He made sure they all knew he was dead serious. He was not playing around with this.

As you were attacking, a blue and yellow silhouette had caught your interest. He used his water ability as a little boost. He projected himself higher so you could hear him.

"uh... Hi!" He awkwardly said. "Why are you doing this? Oh! Uh," He stuttered before telling you "my name is waterboy, thats-thats the name that they call me when I'm out on the field, you know? Uh. But, why are you doing this?" He looked at you with this look. He also mentioned he was a part of some organization called SDN. Whatever that was.

You looked at him, just stared. You had never expected this. This. This human to speak in such a way. So.. casually. So comforting, so... Interesting. He had gotten your interest. So, you decided to humor him with your story. Just...because.

He felt bad. You could tell it was genuine. He comforted you? He told you that not everyone was like that. Tch. Why would you believe that? After everything? Not everyone was like that? That was stupid. But, he continued. He kept talking. Talking so... Genuinely. Full of care. Sympathy. Love. He wasn't treating you bad. He was compassionate. Nervous, awkward but... compassionate. He kept talking.

You felt it. Straight in your core. You had to listen to this human. He was... different. You believed what he had told you. But, you warned him. If you had found out he was lying or using you. You would go back to this. This pain you were causing. You helped fix a little. Not too much, but you did retreat back to your home. Perplexed. Intrigued. By this creature, more than human. A good one. So interesting.

You found out what SDN was. He would be there everyday. You were so moved and comforted by his words, you sent gifts. Powerful objects, good luck charms, protective items, the works. You must show your appreciation for this man. This 'Waterboy.'

As more things showed up, many people in SDN were confused. Waterboy getting all these gifts? It wasn't unusual for people to gift heroes or SDN in general gifts, no, quite the opposite. Especially after insane attacks by villains and some people just gave things to show appreciation for their service. But, no one had received this much stuff this often. It was crazy, but. Waterboy was very thankful, he kept all these items on his person. He wanted to show he loved them to whoever was kind enough to give him gifts. He loves this. He would never even think of getting all these gifts but, boy, was he happy. Plus...the world seemed kinder to him after wearing it? Maybe everything was turning around for him!

Waterboy noticed animals were following him, hanging around him. A lot of other people noticed all this too. So much some even compared to him as snow white. He was so happy. All this love and happiness. He truly could not ask for any more. He was so happy, he was starting to get a little more confident too. He was feeling...amazing over all. His grandma was also overjoyed, she had felt the same luck as he gave most of these lucky items to her too. The two were feeling the best ever!

After a while, you decided to confess. Waterboy had never left your mind since the day he spoke those words to you. Those sweet words. You transcribed on a gift, your coordinates, a day, a time. You expected him to show up. He did.

You explained everything. How he had filled you with immense joy and love. Hope. How he changed you. Gave you a new outlook. How he made you feel. You told him you were actually the one giving him these things, sending these animals to make sure he and his loved ones were safe. You told him everything.

He listened, Waterboy thanked you. Deeply. He confessed to you that had a small sneaking suspicion that it was you. He had never seen gifts like these and no one else in SDN had either. So, he assumed they may have been from you, a god. Waterboy accepts your confession and pursues this relationship with you.

The next day, Sae was home. That was pretty rare, he was usually in Spain or…somewhere halfway across the world from home. You heard him conversing with Rin. Which was equally as rare nowadays. Apparently someone was coming over? Someone Rin didn't exactly like. It was pretty clear Rin didn't like them too. You listened carefully. But, you acted like you weren't, you just had your headphones on your ears (with nothing playing) and ate your food. You were nosey. Apparently it was someone Sae was seeing, which was shocking. Sae has pretty much never dated? Now he suddenly has a partner? Interesting. Very interesting.

“Alright… if he comes here then, ill be in my room. You know how I feel about him.” Rin said, sharing his disdain for the individual.

HIM?? Sae has a boyfriend?? Interesting. Well, you were only semi surprised. You knew he would probably be one to dabble in a little homosexuality. Okay, a lot of homosexuality. Of course Sae was gay!

After you ate, and Rin was in his room…you knocked. He told you to come in.

“Hey, I heard you and Sae talking while I was eating. Who's coming over? Sae has a boyfriend?” You said, you weren't gonna beat around the bush. You were low-key nosey, plus this was one of the only times you would seek Rin to talk. Maybe that movie night and those conversations weren't the worst idea. Maybe this is a way to show you both are getting closer.

“Oh. Yeah, it's this weird ass guy. Uh… You saw our match, Blue Lock vs the u-20 Japan team, right? Uh…don't worry if you didn't…or whatever.” He asked.

“Mhm, yeah. Sometimes I have you guys’ matches on in the background of me doing stuff. Plus, that match was high-key hyped up. And both of you were playing. So…yeah.” You admitted.

“Yeah, kid. That's cool. That's nice of you.” He said, pausing, giving you a time to jump in.

“You've been calling me ‘kid’ a lot, man. I'm literally not that much younger than you, ya know!” You said, not that seriously annoyed or something. Just pointing it out.

“Bro, you are like… a little kid. Like your a baby. Literally like… 2 years old, bro.” He teased. But, then continued. “Sae... He got into a relationship with this player. Ryusei Shidou.”

“Oh yeah. I should have guessed, considering how freaky he was acting with Sae. But, I didn't expect Sae to reciprocate, you know?” you added." But what's your beef with Shidou, why don't you like himmm?”

“He's a total bitch!” Rin exclaimed. He was about to get animated. “He's so aggressive, we just… don't click. He's literally so insufferable. I don't know how Sae can just date someone like that.”

“I mean, opposites attract, bro… But, dammnn. As long as Sae is happy I guess.” You responded.

“Yeah. I guess.” He said.

“Uh…if you want, I can keep you company. While Shidou is here. If you don't like him, I probably won't. Soo… We could probably play a game, or watch something. Or like, just chill. I don't know.” You said, a little awkward. You wanted to put in some effort into this relationship too.

“Uh, yeah. That's. That would be cool. So, sure. He's coming soon. We could play a game.” He agreed.

“Alright, wanna play a Roblox horror game? Never had a bad time playing them.” You said.

“Sure.” He confirmed. “Sounds fun.”

You left his room to get some stuff. Your device, and two water bottles Incase either of you both get thirsty while you play. Unfortunately, you forgot one crucial thing! Snacks. How could you ever forget? Such a tragedy. After a couple hours of playing, you both were kinda craving a snack. Something yummy, ya know? So, Rin made you go downstairs to sneak them some snacks. Its low-key like Granny (Shidou is like Granny in this situation.) You had to sneak by the two lovebirds.

You descended the stairs. On the lookout, sneaky. One thing you miscalculated was…Sae and Shidou were in the living room! So close to the staircase, no doubt…You were about to get caught!

“oooh, a third? I can tell by those underlashes and those icy eyes.” Shidou turned to you suddenly while you were tryna mind your own business.

“Yeah… Hi, I'm the youngest sibling...Hi.” You said, kinda awkwardly. “Hi, Sae.”

Sae greeted you back while you told Shidou your name.

“Ooh, you're so cute! Well, my name is Ryusei Shidou. I'm basically your new older brother-in-law, you know? Dating Sae…” He grinned and turned to Sae. Sae just had that uncaring look on his face.

“Uh, cool. Nice to meet you.” You nodded, gave a nice smile, (and Sae a slight ‘look.’) and turned to the kitchen. You thought that Rin may be a little wrong, he didn't seem bitchy or aggressive to you. But, he did seem weird to you. An odd guy. But, then again…Maybe he was trying to put on a different face for the youngest itoshi- you. You just hurried to the cabinet for some snacks for you and Rin.

On your way back, Shidou asked you something… “where's Rinnie?”

“... Rinnie?” You looked at him with a weird look, in all your years of living. You had NEVER heard ANYONE refer to Rin as ‘Rinnie.’ But, you just decided to answer. “uh, His room. We're playing a game…so… yeah. I was just getting us some snacks while we play…”

“Oooh! That sounds so fun! ♡♡ We should both play soon, get closer. You'll be seeing me a lot more often. Actually, what do you think about me- or us joining you both now…?” Shidou asked, yeah. This guy is hella weird.

“uh, actually… It's on Roblox, we already started…can't really join anymore, so…sorry?” You said, trying to politely decline, plus. It was the truth, anyway.

“Awh ♡ that's too bad.” Shidou said. “Oh well. Have fuunnn!” He smiled.

He's not too bad. Just odd. Very interesting. But, hey. You got snacks for you and Rin! So, it was worth it?

“hey, what took you so long?” Rin said, when you opened the door.

“Shidou spoke to me a little. So. But, I did get some snaacks!” You told him, setting down the snacks.

“what’d he say? What did you guys talk about?” He stared at you.

Both of you probably met because of SDN, the usual suspect to heroes meeting.

I feel like you both would click pretty instantly, especially because waterboy could see you as someone to talk to (similar to how he was with Robert in the game)

If you wanted to rant or anything, he would listen like how you would listen to him

You both would be very supportive to each other especially if you needed advice/comfort the other would definitely be there

To calm him down specifically I feel like you would swing him up to rooftops and just...have a break from everything and chill

Before getting with you, he definitely went to Robert (especially if you were close to Robert but either way he'd go to him for advice) he'd ask him all the questions: do you like flowers? How would they like me to confess? Should I confess? Just everything

You would stand up for him so hard and help him get a little more confidence with Robert (kinda like his fans heh)

He would be so gentlemanly but overthinking most of what he does so you have to reassure him

The fantastic four had been called in, there had been another potential threat identified. An alien, otherworldly spaceship had ended up in New York City. Which, honestly, was pretty run of the mill with them. They were superheroes! They had gone up against threats like this many times before. But, something was different. You weren't really attacking anyone, you just got off of your ship and looked around. Like it was your first time on earth, which it was. The fantastic four were still alerted but, they eased up. You didn't seem like much of a threat, but looks could be deceiving.

You and the fantastic four had tried to communicate, of course. But, there was a little problem... None of you had a language in common. You could speak your otherworldly tongue and...they knew English. But, you tried to tell them you are not a threat. Aka, putting your hands up and then making a heart. In your mind, that meant "I come in peace." Johnny laughed. He was so caught off guard. Ben nudged him with his elbow, basically telling him to quit it.

That was pretty much your first day in New York, you ended up staying with them. For...research purposes, as Johnny said. But, they all knew it was NOT for research. But, they didn't decline. They didn't want to just throw someone who had the knowledge of the world equivalent to a baby just out in New York.

That night, Reed started working on a communication device. One that would translate your language into English, and vice versa. It took a little while, but. When he had finished it,Johnny took it up to your little space. Sue forced Reed to take a nap, he had spent most of the night on this.

You opened your door to see him. You waved. He did too. He awkwardly tried to motion to put this device in your ear. It worked. The first thing he said to you was...

"heyy"

You were shocked. You also noticed he had one in his ear too. You greeted him back, he smiled and nodded. You both could finally understand each other. You invited him into your room. For hours, he asked you questions about your home planet. You gave answers, you asked about earth. He answered too. You learned a lot about earth and he learnt a lot about your planet. You showed him books, stories, folklore, art, just the culture of your home. He was so interested, he kept asking really good questions.

While you were telling him all about your planet, he noticed the really cute expression on your face. It made him smile even harder than he was. Which, most people would think that was impossible.... Johnny smiles really hard.

You had spotted the notebook he was writing this information on. You asked him what and why he was writing things down. He told you that he thought it was really cool and it was for research on your planet. Or something like that. You just continued, you believe him because...why would Johnny lie?

You both had basically spent the entire day just sharing stories, facts, just everything about your planets. Johnny's little notebook had so much information, he thought this was surely enough to do what he was thinking of.

As a treat, Johnny got some food from his favorite restaurant and got you some too. He said he wanted you to try it, he wants you to experience as much as you can with him! You both ate together, it was nice and fun. You both kept talking. The other three noticed how much time you were spending together...

As days went by, you and the fantastic four grew even closer. Cooking with Ben, taking care of Franklin, hanging out with Sue and Reed. You loved it. Specifically hanging out with Ben. Ben was very calm. Johnny got excited very easily, which you loved. You did too. But, when you need some chill time. You knew Ben was your guy. If you wanted to talk and have a conversation with him, he would talk with you! If you wanted to just be in the same space with him, he'd be good with that. He was overall a chill guy. Very supportive and cool.

Johnny also knew this, Johnny and Ben were very close, after all. They were like siblings. So, when Johnny had this bright idea...he knew he HAD to tell Ben. That was literally his twin, of course he has to let him know. He got Ben's attention.

"hey! Ben!" Johnny said.

"yes, Johnny?" Ben turned and looked at him.

"So, I have been getting a lot of info on him." He said, referring to you. "And I got this little notebook and I filled up a ton of pages, right. Plus, he's letting me borrow some books that he had brought from his planet, right?"

"right." Ben said, curious to see where this will end up.

"okay, so... My really awesome plan is that I'm gonna learn a little bit of his language with all the stuff I wrote down and all that, okay? And I'm gonna learn all these like, lovey dovey, cutesy, cool nicknames. I'm gonna do a rizz move, okay?" He was using a lot of hand motions. Johnny spoke with his hands a lot. "But, before all that. I am gonna confess in his own language." He nodded, proud of himself. "He will be so shocked and like...it will be so cool, right Ben?"

"that's actually kind of cute" Ben responded. "Go shoot your shot then."

With Ben's approval, Johnny locked in and worked even harder. He spent hours piecing together your language, it was also hard to make it not known by you. He had to be sneaky. He usually studied it in the night, when he knew you were asleep.

After a little while, he did it! He learned way more than he expected to, he loved it. He was so entranced by your language, he found it just as beautiful as you. In that time, he also got pretty close to you. Time was flying by!

The next day, the day he planned to confess, he went out. He got some food you liked, you had tried a bunch of new things with him. So, he knew what you liked and didn't. He also got some flowers and a sweet treat. He knocked on your door.

Knock

Knock

You opened.
