*I wrote this one after I wrote "It's a Heist, Not a Date" but somehow I don't think it made it onto WattPad. So here, have a free Jonathan x Reader one shot! (also I haven't read it in like three weeks so hopefully it's actually okay)*

You sighed as the wind blew through your skirts, your back resting against the trunk of a large elm. Each day after school you would sit under the tree and or sketch or write or do your homework. You might watch the sunset or pet a stray cat that happened to be passing by. But you enjoyed this time to be alone, to collect your thoughts, and to observe the natural world around you.

Sometimes a boy would traverse across your path. He was actually more of a young man, tall and muscular, dark hair framing his expressionate face. Sometimes he would climb the tree adjacent to you, sometimes he'd take a nap against the trunk. You certainly noticed each other, and came to enjoy the silent company. But even after several months meeting each other in the fields, you hadn't spoken.

"Excuse me, miss,"

Until now, that is.

"Your name is Miss (l/n), is it not?"

You opened your eyes to look up at him. He stood in front of you, a rosy flush spread across his cheeks. He seemed to inspect his shoes, almost avoiding your eye contact in embarrassment

"Yes, yes it is." You paused. "However, I don't believe we've been introduced." You gathered your skirts out of your way as you stood and brought your hand out for a shake. He misinterpreted the gesture, placing a soft kiss on your knuckles, at which you giggled.

"There's no need to be so formal, Mister..."

"Joestar," he informed you. Your eyes lit up in recognition. "Jonathan Jo–"

"Yes, yes. I've heard of you." His face brightened. "You're one of the brightest students at the academy!"

"Oh," his face reddened even more, "I should hardly think that... You seem to be quite the exemplary student yourself. I'm amazed by how often you come here to study,"

"Oh, no," you chuckled. "I don't always study, sometimes I just... Enjoy the scenery." you paused, hiding your face a bit, flustered. "I'm terribly sorry I've never approached you, myself. It's not that I didn't think I'd enjoy the company–" You cut yourself off, unable to find the right words.

"I understand completely," He began, though you weren't sure if you completely understood yourself.

"Oh, and yes, my name is (y/n)(l/n)!" You chastised yourself as you had forgotten to actually introduce yourself.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Miss (l/n)." You smiled gently.

"Please just call me (y/n)."

"Very well." he grinned in an almost cheeky fashion. "Then you may call me JoJo." You giggled at the silly nickname.

"JoJo," you repeated after him, gazing into his dark eyes. His smile was infectious, and his large hand surprisingly soft, as it wrapped around your fingers. You were actually glad for once to have made a new acquaintance.

"Oh my!" He suddenly exclaimed.

"Please forgive me, dear (y/n). I completely forgot, I should have been home an hour ago, but..." He paused, to kiss your hand yet again, as you blushed at his gentlemanly manners. "I hope we may see each other again tomorrow."

You two did see each other again. The normal routine continued, however the both of you actually struck up conversation. You would remark upon various happenings at the academy or his family, and you two overall became very close. Sometimes you would meet at the elm and take a walk to the creek or to the field of wildflowers.
