"We need to eat something before class, come on." Kira said. Diavolo stayed quiet and stood up. The two together headed upstairs to the cafeteria. Kira and Diavolo walked into the cafeteria hand in hand. Sadly, Kira let Diavolo's hand go so he could grab something. They split paths as Diavolo left to sit at their normal table. He sat down and watched from afar. The peace was ruined when a certain someone approached him.

((TW: Bullying & Senory Overload))

"Helloooo!" DIO said as he strutted over to the table.

"What do you want?" Diavolo growled.

"No need for aggression! I just wanted to stop by." DIO teased.

"I don't want to talk, scram."

"Jeez! No need for the rudeness. Youre lucky that I, DIO, am even interested in you." DIO said. Diavolo stayed silent and just glared at the vampire. DIO suddenly became very intimidating. He grabbed at Diavolo's hair and yanked his head up to match his level.

"You think you're so smug, huh? You know you are completely useless and weak without your stand. I already know my very own son defeated you in battle. All of that simply explains to me how incredibly weak you are." DIO said. Diavolo was wincing in pain. DIO's grasp was very strong, it felt as if his hair could get ripped out.

"You're getting powerless and soft. That serial killer isn't making it any better for you." DIO said. Diavolo simply stayed quiet.

"L-let me g- go..." he stuttered and winced in pain again as DIO pulled hard. Diavolo couldn't defend himself, he truly felt powerless against the vampire. Someone then came to save him.

"DIO BRANDO!!" Sapphire shouted. The pull on Diavolo's hair suddenly disappeared as DIO was kicked to the ground. DIO was now face down on the floor. Sapphire's high heel was pressed into his lack, pinning the vampire to the cold title floor.

"WRRRRRY!! GET OFF OF MEEEE!" DIO shouted.

"What the hell is wrong with you?? Don't bully or touch Diavolo like that! You should know better, DIO." Sapphire said. Diavolo was curled up, knees to chest, on the chair he was sitting on. He clutched his head, trying to hide himself. There was to much going on, he couldn't comprehend anything.

"To... loud... p-please be quiet." Diavolo mumbled. Sapphire look towards Diavolo with worry.

"Shoot, he's having a sensory overload, damn it. I need to get him out of here but I have to deal with DIO." Sapphire said. Just in time. Kira was walking over to the table with food for both him and Diavolo. As he neared he saw the state Diavolo was in and immediately panicked. The blonde rushed over to the table and set down the food. He then attended to Diavolo.

"Diavolo? Diavolo? Dia, my darling, what happened?" Kira said.

"Thank god you're here! He was being bullied by DIO and he's having a sensory overload right now. I can't care for him because I have to deal with DIO over here so can you please take him to his room." Sapphire explained.

"Yes, of course, I definitely will." Kira said. He then took Diavolo's hand and got the pink haired man to stand. Diavolo immediatly hugged Kira, he needed comfort badly. Kira kept a hand around Diavolo's waist as they walked out of the noisy cafeteria. As quick as they could. Kira and Diavolo made their way to Diavolo's room. Once they reached the door Diavolo unlocked it and went straight in to hide himself in his bed. He threw the blanket over his head curled up into a ball. Kira slowly approached him.

"Can I touch you?" Kira asked first.

" ... yea..." Diavolo mumbled. Kira then lifted the blanket off of Diavolo's head. The pink haired man look up at Kira with a sad expression. Kira was extremely worried for the ex-mafia boss and he really didn't know how. In the past, he never cared for anyone and he despised socializing with people. Why now all the sudden he cared about Diavolo so much? How did he even develop a liking for the mysterious ex-mafia boss in the first place. It was all unknown to Kira. Right now, all that mattered to Kira was trying to help Diavolo. Kira sat down next to the pink haired man and held his hand.

"What would you like me to do?" Kira asked.

"Can I just be alone for a while...?" Diavolo said.

"Yes, of course. I'll give you your space." Kira said. The blonde then stood up and headed out of Diavolo's room. Right as he was about to leave. Sapphire stopped by.

"There you two are. I handed DIO over to the admins so he'll get a scolding. As for you, Diavolo, I'll allow an excuse absence from morning session but I'll still expect to see you for afternoon session." Sapphire said. Diavolo just quietly nodded in reply. They then turned to Kira.

"Thank you so much. You're a great help."

"Ah, it's no trouble at all. He said he wanted to be alone so I'm leaving him be for now." Kira said.

"Alright then, you should get to class. Let's go"
