Riptide

[Miss Him]

Something tapped against his window. [Star Platinum] leaped out as their User's tranquility was broken so suddenly, startling him out of his gentle doze. Jotaro felt his heartbeat pounding in his chest, his entire fight or flight reaction having been set off. He spun around on his futon and stared out the window - as his Stand drew the curtain back. His eyes widened.

"Noriaki...?" he breathed out, and the redhead who stood bathed in the moonlight - the sun had set a few hours ago - nodded his head and gave his friend a 'duh' look. A voice flickered through Jotaro's head making him blink, he had completely forgotten they could communicate this way.

'Open the window. Let me stay here for the night.'

Jotaro swallowed. He should say, yes. He shouldn't even have to think about it- but, it was clear Noriaki had runoff. He didn't even have a bag to stay over. Also, why else would he have come to the teenager's window and not the front door? Jotaro didn't need any more grief with his parents. If anything he wanted to try and make amends with them. [Star] drifted off into the corner, where an emergency phone hung - they were all over the house installed by Joseph. Kakyoin's purple gaze followed the Stand and his face twisted up.

'What are you doing...!'

The taller hung his head, and he stared at the wall furthest from him, knowing he couldn't face the shorter man. He swallowed. His heart and logic were tearing into each other viciously. He wasn't sure which one would win.

'Nori...you need to go home.'

He closed his eyes. For a moment, he could feel the anger rising within his friend due to their connection. It pierced through Jotaro like a blade.

'Kujo. Don't you dare type a number into that phone. KUJO!'

Jotaro ducked just in time as a green tendril busted through the window, it stuck itself into the wall before tearing itself out, ripping away a chunk of it with them. He sucked in a breath, wondering what the hell Kakyoin had planned to do to him with such aggression. He sighed, and he could hear the phone ringing- a woman picked up.

Chiyoko's voice was panicked, "Have you found my baby-?"

"Kakyoin is here-"
BOOM!

Another tendril shot through the window and Jotaro dodged this one as well. He shook his head, what was the redhead even thinking? The canyon between them grew wider - splitting through the floor and falling into the depths of the earth. He tried to read his friend's face, but he seemed to be staring at a stranger, Kakyoin's features were morphed with rage. The Joestar swallowed and he felt tears rise. What happened? What had happened to the man he was in love with? Was it - his fault?

Should have let him stay...I should have let him stay.

"Mrs. Kakyoin this is Jotaro Kujo, he's at my home-," his words were cut off. His breathing seemed to be cut off suddenly. Jotaro coughed, and he foudn that - there was no tendril wrapped around his throat. It was a hand. Warm and soft again his skin, yet, the long fingers were pressing down with an iron grip.

"Shut up. Just, shut the fuck up!"Noriaki spat out at him, lost in some kind of haze. Jotaro tried to use [Star Platinum] to pry his hand off with ease, but his Stand's strength was fading rapidly. He struggled a bit, and then, he stopped. A small smile formed upon his lips. He didn't want to harm Noriaki. Dying by the ginger's hands wouldn't be such a cruel fate. He sputtered out, a loopy grin forming upon his face.

"There-re you go." his entire body began to relax, as black spots began to spin across his vision blurring the man before him. Noriaki was all he could really see, and he looked gorgeous as moonlight bounced off the shattered glass that littered the floor. "Let it all out-ut."
