Stargazing (Jotaro x Kakyoin)

It was the middle of the night and I assumed the rest of my party was fast asleep. After all, it had been a few hours since we had decided to call it a night. I, however, had remained awake, not being able to put my mind to rest. Too many thoughts would flow through my head at once and I wouldn’t be able to focus on getting rest, especially with the contents on my mind. That Noriaki Kakyoin, refusing to leave my mind and thoughts even in the middle of the night, where even knowing he was peacefully sleeping beside me would entertain my conscience for an ungodly amount of time. I had begun to feel like this ever since we got into that first plane crash when he was so kind to every panicking soul as my grandfather tried to land the plane. I don't know why, it just instantly had me drawn to him. 

Ever since that day, my admiration and.. Well… Attraction to him only grew. It started off with small remarks in my head about how much I liked his hair or how I wondered if he had soft lips, a question to which I still have no answer. It all only grew larger and larger, until I was left with what I have now. I constantly think of him and though I would never admit it, I wondered what he would do if I just picked him up and kissed him. Even the thought of a kiss would drive my mind wild with fantasies and wishes that eventually became so unrealistic that even in my love stricken state I could tell they were preposterous. I rubbed my face as I felt a soft blush dust my cheeks, setting them back to my chest. This was all so crazy, I shouldn’t be thinking about this right now. Hell, I should be thinking about my mother who’s life was at serious risk. That’s what I should be thinking of, but my mind always seems to wander right back to the same subject.

I let out a long sigh and decided to get up and stretch my legs in the night air. Hopefully that would help with clearing my head a little. As I got myself up, I stared at the red haired man sleeping to my left. Unfortunately, his back was facing me so I couldn’t really see his face, though I was positive that he had stirred slightly as I got up. Walking over to the car my grandfather rented, I fidgeted with my lighter. It was just a force of habit to do this by now, it was just something to keep me physically busy I guess. I leaned against the car and looked off into the night sky. The night was crisp and clear, allowing me to see the stars beautifully clearly. It was sort of like those photos you always see that seem too beautiful to ever be seen with your own eyes, yet here it was, just existing with me. I jumped slightly as I heard the sound of footsteps behind me. I whipped my head around to see none other than the man I had been trying to rid my thoughts of. 

“It’s very nice out tonight.” He says quietly before giving me an apologetic look. I guess he didn’t mean to startle me. I nodded before looking back to the sky, a pale blush rising to my face. I thought he was asleep. Was he awake that entire time? He leans on the car beside me and also stares up at the sky. “I love nights like this.” He started as he gestured out to the sky. “It feels like you can just see forever.” I looked at him and smiled. Everything he said just made my heart do a little jump, no matter what it was.

“I guess you’re right. Did I wake you up?” I ask, not wanting to be the reason he was awake. I would have felt awful if I had woken him up. He had been tired recently, so he needed the sleep. He shook his head and looked at me with a slight chuckle.

“Sorry to take the honors away from you, but I was awake anyway.” He says happily. I let out a relieved sigh and kicked at the sand. I wasn't used to this being absolutely everywhere, especially when my home had little to none. “Too much on my mind, ya know?” I nodded. Oh, the irony. If only he knew what was currently going through my head. I sighed and decided to just stare at the sky, my hands propping me up on the car behind me. From the corner of my eye, I see Kakyoin stare at me, his face seemingly filled with something I can't quite make out, so I turn to him. Just as I do, he blushes lightly and glances away from me, but eventually his gaze is caught in mine.
