Silent (jotakak)

Comfort

The days turned to weeks as they grew closer, practically never leaving each others side, outside of class they were always together, the honors student and the delinquent who never spoke a single word, when jotaro was stressed, he could just hug kakyoin and start to feel better, there was just something about kakyoin that was made him feel at ease, the thoughts telling him horrible things became quiet when kakyoin was around, jotaro wanted to be with him all the time, and on a friday in the middle of the semester, he got an idea

Jotaro and kakyoin were leaving school when jotaro tapped him on the shoulder

"Hm?" He turned around to face him, jotaro showed him a note
'Would you like to have a sleepover at my house?' He looked nervous as he gave it to him, kakyoin looked deep in thought, which only made jotaro more nervous

"I don't have any plans today or tomorrow, so sure, we can have a sleepover" he smiled up at him, jotaro felt better about asking and smiled back, they started their walk to his house, they got near kakyoin's house

"I should go tell my parents about the sleepover, I'll also have to grab some stuff, you can wait here" he swiftly walked into his house, not wanting to make jotaro wait for too long. Jotaro was leaning against the fence of kakyoin's front yard, a few minutes later, some schoolgirls walked by, he glanced at them, they were looking at him and jumped a little as they walked away

"That guy is scary!" One whispered to the other loud enough for jotaro to hear, it echoed in his head like a cavern, the thoughts became loud again

"Creepy, scary, horrifying" the list went on, he tried to take deep breaths and closed his eyes 'not now' he repeated in his mind to drown out the other thoughts, it calmed him down a bit, but not by much, he heard the door open to kakyoin's house and light but fast foot steps rushing towards him

"Sorry I took so long, I had to-" jotaro cut off kakyoin by pulling him into a tight hug, he let go after a few seconds

"Did something upset you again?" He asked with a sorrowful look, jotaro nodded and pointed to the girls who were still within sight

"They thought you were scary, huh" he already knew the answer, this had happened a few times before, so he knew how to comfort him, it looked a little weird, so he decided it would be best to go to his house first

"Well, lets go, the faster we get there, the faster we can get away from those thots" jotaro nodded and started walking, they took a slightly different route home as to not bump into the group of girls that were obsessed with kakyoin, they were all visibly afraid of jotaro and it made him want to hide behind kakyoin, but he was way too tall for that, so they just avoided them entirely, they both knew it wouldn't work for long, so every so often they had to change routes, it was sort of a hassle trying to remember the new route each time, but they had too, kakyoin didn't want jotaro to get upset, otherwise he might have to get violent. They rounded another corner

"Shit" kakyoin stopped abruptly, jotaro looked to where kakyoin was looking and realized that the thot brigade had found their new route, kakyoin instantly turned around and grabbed jotaro's hand, swiftly speed-walking back the way they came, jotaro felt his cheeks heat up a little as he followed him, after rounding a few more corners kakyoin stopped again, not letting go of jotaro's hand, he looked around

"Well... damn it, I think we're lost" jotaro looked around and didn't recognize this place either, kakyoin turned to look at him, jotaro's expression clearly saying 'what do you mean we're lost?!' Jotaro gripped his hand tighter and grabbed his shirt with his other hand, his heart began racing as he started to freak out, his breathing became unstable

"No, don't freak out! I'll just retrace our steps, we'll get out of here in no time, okay?" He nodded, still really nervous, they were walking back from where they came from with jotaro following closely behind kakyoin, leaning forward and constantly looking around, he heard a noise nearby and jumped, making an almost whimpering sound, kakyoin felt really bad for letting him get scared, he wish he had something that could protect them, but all he had was a switch blade, which didn't really make jotaro feel better, even though jotaro was massive and extremely strong, he was still really weak emotionally and got scared rather easily, the smaller man often needing to protect him from danger, he didn't mind, he just wanted jotaro to feel safe, eventually they had made it back to a recognizable area, they could get back to jotaro's house quickly now, they both let out a sigh of relief, they were still holding hands because it made jotaro feel safer, they made it the rest of the way to his house without any more complications, they opened the door to jotaro's traditional japanese style home, and were greeted by jotaro's mom, she hugged both of them tightly

"Welcome home! I have dinner almost ready, so feel free to make yourselves comfortable!" She cheerily shouted as she walked back to the kitchen

"How is your mom always standing by the door right when you get home?" Kakyoin asked with a raised eyebrow as they made their way to jotaro's room to hang out, jotaro just shrugged and smiled in response, they made it to his room and jotaro took off his hat and guraken, leaving his purple tank top and his messy dark hair exposed, kakyoin sat on his bed with a 'pomf' sound and sighed, his bed was rather close to the ground, only about a foot up, jotaro sat on the ground next to the bed in front of kakyoin, his back facing towards him, kakyoin knew that he was still stressed from all the things that happened today, so he knew what jotaro wanted him to do

kakyoin put his hands on top of jotaro's head and softly ruffled his hair, he didn't know why, but it calmed down jotaro, kakyoin assumed that jotaro's mom did it when he felt stressed, although kakyoin didn't know that sometimes he would have anxiety attacks, jotaro didn't tell him to not worry him about it, jotaro gave a comfortable 'hmmmm' sound, after about 30 seconds, jotaro looked up at kakyoin and smiled with closed eyes, kakyoin immediately started blushing 'holy shit he's so cute' he held jotaro's cheeks and leaned down, he booped him on the nose with his, this made jotaro giggle a bit, kakyoin also found that immensely adorable, jotaro put his head back down and looked forwards, kakyoin continued ruffling his hair for another minute

"Thank you, kakyoin" he immediately stopped, jotaro looked up at him, with a bit of a nervous expression, kakyoin looked really surprised, he leaned his head forwards again to look down at him
"Did you just... talk?"
"Y-yeah"
"You can talk?!"
"Did you think that I couldn't?"
"Well I've never heard you talk before! I thought you were mute!"
"I explained it to you when we first ate lunch together" he chuckled a little
"Very vaguely! How was I supposed to know that you meant your voice was scary by your explanation?"
"Im sorry, I thought you understood what I meant"
"So why are you suddenly talking to me at all? Did you not trust me enough before?"
"No it's not that, its just-" he took a deep breath "I thought you would hate my voice"
"...what" kakyoin furrowed his brows
"I thought you would find it scary, people were scared of my voice and appearance when I was younger, so I thought that if I got rid of my voice, then people would be less afraid"
"..."
"Kakyoin?"
"That's adorably sad"
"What?"
"I, uh, didn't mean to say that out loud" he blushed when he realized that, he looked up trying to make sure that jotaro didn't see him as red as a cherry
"So uh" jotaro tried to change the subject seeing that kakyoin lookes uncomfortable "want to do anything?"
"You"
"Huh?"
"Shit, I mean, um, how about we watch some tv?"
"Oh, sure" he gave kakyoin a wholesome smile, kakyoin covered his mouth as he blushed even more 'why is he so fucking cute?!'
