Avdol x Reader: "Fortune-Teller"

"It can't be that accurate," You were teasing him just a bit, of course. Ever since you had awakened your own stand powers, you had come to accept the paranormal, more or less. But Tarot reading... It just sort of seemed like a silly card trick.

However, even if you were apprehensive about fortune-telling itself, you completely trusted the fortune-teller. His name was Avdol. He had rescued you from Dio's clutches, brought you out of harm's way. You would have been back home and safe with your family, thanks to him, if you didn't insist on joining the crusaders to defeat Dio. Avdol hadn't wanted you to get caught up in the mess of it all, but you assured him that you would train, you would strengthen your stand to become stronger, and this time, Dio wouldn't get away with it.

You two sat at a small table in the lobby of the hotel. It was late evening, and the place seemed almost deserted. Mr. Joestar was napping up in the room, Jotaro and Kakyoin were sight seeing, and Polnareff was probably off somewhere being an idiot as usual. Avdol shook his head and chuckled as he pulled a deck of cards out of his robe.

"You are the only one who can choose to listen to what the cards foretell." He remarked. You giggled a bit. You had seen all sides of him: the mysterious fortune teller to the the conniving trickster. You knew he was more of the latter.

"Well, let's see what they say, and if it makes any sort of sense!" You rested your elbows on the table as you watched his dexterous fingers shuffle the cards with ease. You always admired how skilled he was, and how precise he was at everything he put his mind to. Then, he paused, noticing you eyeing the cards. He outstretched his palm, holding out the pristine deck.

"Do I pick one?" You asked.

"No," He shook his head with a sly smile, "You shuffle." You laughed as you took the cards from his hand.

"So if I shuffle the cards, they'll predict my future?" You questioned, skeptically. He made a "tch" noise several times, shaking his head with a deep chuckle.

"And your past, and your present." He seemed like a true magician as he said this, fanning out the deck in front of you to display the cards

"Do I have to say 'please' and 'thank' you as well?" You joked. Avdol grinned at you.

"It wouldn't hurt." Something about his gaze made you feel... fiery.

You accepted his offer and tried your best to split the deck and shuffle the large cards. He smiled warmly at your feeble and clumsy attempts, as you accidentally dropped a card or two and groaned.

"Is that enough?" You really had no idea how fortune telling worked, and presented him the deck of cards in your palm. He placed his warm hand under yours, comforting you in your uncertainty.

"Of course. I'll do a shorter reading, if you're alright with that." His voice was warm and reassuring, and you nodded, a shy smile gracing your face. He lifted a card from the deck, placing it face up and slightly to the side of you. On its image, a young man stood, head turned to the side, hair flowing in the breeze. He held up a long sword as he gazed away from the cloudy sky.

"So, the cards are telling me to pose dramatically with a sword?" You looked at him curiously, making another joke moreso to distract him from noticing as your hand grew heated in his. It wasn't that you disliked his touch. In fact, you wanted more of it..

"It is the Page of Swords. It represents your past," he paused to contemplate "and I believe it is quite an accurate representation." You leaned in, questioningly.

"How so?" He neared his face to yours, almost as if to whisper a secret.

"The page is stubborn and opinionated." You cackled at his teasing you. Your fierce and feisty nature often rivalled Avdol's calm serenity. However, sometimes your obstinacy would draw him out of his calm and collected shell, and every once and awhile you remembered fondly those wild and spontaneous adventures you shared together along the road.
