//this isnt going to be exactly what happened in the chapters but....i havent seen the end of stardust crusaders in months, gimme a break man :(

Their journey was beginning to come to an end.

Noriaki Kakyoin had been temporarily put out of commission after suffering from a blow to the eyes.

"Are you sure you'll catch up?" Jotaro asked, a tiny bit of his concern seeping into his words. "You almost went blind, you're gonna need a few to heal up." He gently grasped his partner's hand.

"I'm fine, Jojo! Really. The cuts weren't too deep, so I'll hopefully be out in time to make it to Egypt when you all do," Kakyoin dismissed his worries. He still smiled, though. "I want to continue with you. It's no use if I don't earn back my pride personally, right?"

Jotaro stared, unconvinced, at the bandages over his eyes. "..alright. Get better soon." He brought Noriaki's hand up and kissed it for a split second before letting go. He turned away but then paused, looking back. ".....Love you."

"I love you too. Get there safely!"

It'd been a few days now. At least from what he could tell.

Jotaro was still concerned, even if Kakyoin said he was fine. He even kind of missed him. Well, scratch that, he missed him a lot.

It felt weird only being with the others. They were alright, but he didn't mesh too well with them. Especially not his grandfather. Jotaro was just plain annoyed by him. The other two were...tolerable.

Still didn't feel comfortable, though.

"Heeey, Jotaro!"
And out of nowhere, Polnareff materialized beside him. Or just walked over while he wasn't looking.

"Polnareff," Jotaro acknowledged him with a brisk nod.

"No need to be so cold! C'mon, I'm your buddy, right, mon ami?"

"...nah, not really."

"Jeez, don't needa be that honest," the French man muttered. "Well, since your boyfriend's gone, I-"

"My what?"

"..you didn't realise it?? Pfft, oh, young love. I saw you two getting all kissy a couple of nights before. I hope ya used protectio-" he got a sharp bonk to the head by Star Platinum.

"Disgusting."

"Ow, ow, okay, sorry," Polnareff rolled his eyes, "you didn't even let me finish."

"Then finish or I'll hit you harder," Jotaro replied sharply.

The older sighed. "Since Kakyoin's gone, I thought you seemed lonely and emo, so I decided to try an' cheer you up!"

"Sauter d'une falaise," the edgy teen glared at him.

"Néfaste, mais d'accord," the tall silver-haired man held up his hands defensively. "Didn't know you knew French."

"Eh, Kakyoin knew a lot of it, so he taught me."

"Ooh. Damn, you shoulda told me sooner! That's one more language we have in common."

Jotaro didn't reply, looking ahead. He wasn't exactly keen on deepening whatever...weird bond Kakyoin and Polnareff had. "...now fuck off."

"Fiiine. Seeya, bastard." Polnareff hurried to catch up to Avdol and Joseph.

He was left to his thoughts again. How long until we reach this goddamn place? He sighed, shoving his hands into his pockets. I'm so tired... The teenager started to close his eyes.
