Kakyoin sat under the stars, one thought going through his head—

I'm an idiot.

Or, at least his actions were idiotic.

He liked Jotaro a lot, and when they kissed his only thought was, "I like this."

And what did he do next? Fucking slap Jotaro.

"Real smart move, Noriaki," he muttered to himself, holding his head in his hands. "It's no wonder you pissed him off..."

He closed his eyes for a moment.

"I deserve this," he whispered, "I'm so stupid.."

"Yeah, you fuckin are."

The teenage boy flinched badly. "...why are you here?"

"Gramps was concerned about your silence during our travels today."

"Tell him I'm fine."

"He won't believe that."

"Then tell him I was tired."

"Won't believe that either."

"Just tell him the fucking truth, then, cause I don't have any other goddamn excuses," Kakyoin spat like venom. After a heartbeat, he realised his mistake. "Er...sorry."

"Meh," Jotaro was being calm about everything, it kind of concerned Kakyoin.
That's when the scent hit his nose.
Liquor.

"Did you drink??" Noriaki questioned, inching away a bit.

"I had a couple of shots of some sake Polnareff bought. Nothing I can't handle," the taller boy replied evenly.

"Must've done something to you if you're talking to me." The response was a quiet laugh.

"I didn't have that many, seriously."

"Mhmm." Jotaro sighed at him, but then laughed a little again. It was like music to Kakyoin's ears. "I have...never heard you laugh like that."

"I don't laugh much, so..."

"I guess I can see that."

"Mm?"

"You're just..." the redhead hesitated, choosing his next words carefully, "You just seem a lot like an introverted person." He hoped what he said wasn't too..offensive.

The older teenager only shrugged. "..so...uh...I'm.."

"If you're gonna apologize then don't," Noriaki interrupted him quietly.

"You think I would?" Jotaro scoffed. "I'm not apologizing for anything."

"As expected."

"But I didn't mean it."

"..huh?"

"You...uh...don't disgust me."

Kakyoin glanced away. "You don't mean that."

"I do." A moment later, the former was sitting beside him. "...Kakyoin, I care about you."

"You really shouldn't. I...was...just an asshole to you.." the redhead muttered.

"I'm an asshole to everyone, you think I care?"

"You cried."

"Eh.."

"And not only was I a jerk but...I was a liar," Noriaki paused, scared. "I..uhm...I lied to you, about...hating...you...and..." He finally lifted his head to face Jotaro. "I liked you. I liked you...a lot. And..I-"—he sighed—"I-I still do. You're the on-"
