"I'll be fine! I promise, it's just a few more weeks until our crazy adventure is over, just hold out a little longer, okay?" Nori encouraged over the phone. He was in Singapore he said, kicking ass and taking names, on his way to find a cure for his best friend's mom. I feel like he's hiding a lot about this trip, but I need to trust he'll be okay.

"Alright, just hurry home already. Your mom and I are running out of cop and mafia shows to watch since you won't let us watch our shows 'til you get back," I nag, getting him to laugh. I hear another voice in the background and Nori covers the phone, but not well.

"I know Jotaro, but I can't worry them. Plus it's only going to get worse, right? So why get them worked up when I'm still going to keep going?" His voice comes out muffled, but clear enough. I choke back my anger and the sinking feeling in my gut as I clear my throat. "Sorry about that, Jotaro's tired and we're stuck in a room together."

"I don't need to be jealous or anything, right?"

"Of course not! I only have eyes for one set of (e/c) eyes that comes with amazingly soft (h/c) hair and an enchanting smile. And all of that is sitting on the other end of this phone line and it's driving me nuts," he finishes with a dreamy sigh, almost making me tear up just thinking about him being in danger.

"Just come home safe you dork. I love you, Nori."

"I will. I love you too, (N/n)."

----------

It had been almost two months since Nori left with Jotaro and I was loosing my nerve. When are they coming back? My heart can't do this for much longer. I heard the doorbell ring and slipped a light jacket over my pajamas, hoping it was Nori and his friends. He hadn't called in almost two weeks and I was getting worried.

I open the door to be met with Jotaro's stoic face. I couldn't help the excited jump in my heartbeat and the bright smile that crept onto my face. He couldn't seem to meet my gaze and that sinking feeling came back slowly, almost like vines. The longer he stood there avoiding my gaze, the larger the vines got, slowly strangling what hope I had left.

"I'm s-so sorry, (Y/n). I- I couldn't-" that's all he could get out before his voice cracked and my heart crashed to the ground. I looked into his eyes to see they were glossy and on the verge of overflowing. My own eyes began to fill and I stumbled into him, clinging to his jacket as if my body would fall apart if I didn't. I felt a droplet hit my head and then another. I barely recognized the sobs that wracked my body, starting abruptly after it set in, Nori wasn't coming back. He placed his hand on my back as we cried in my doorway.

"I know-hic- I know you d-hic- did what you could. I-hic- know this is hard-hic- on you too." He finally let out a heavy sob and gripped me in a tight hug. Our cries would surely reach him in heaven, surely he would know we missed him.

Surely he knew I loved him.

Eventually Jotaro let me go, handing me a paper with the date, time, and place of his burial. It was on such nice card-stock, embossed with glittering letters. You would have thought it was a wedding invite at first glance. He also handed me a small gift bag.

"He got this in Cairo for you when we got back. I figured he would still want you to have it." Jotaro's voice crackled as he said it and a few tears slid down my face. I nod as a silent thank you, not trusting my voice. "I'll come by the day of- the day on the card." I nod again with a weak smile and he nods before turning to the car he came in. I wave halfheartedly and shuffle back inside, letting out a heart-wrenching cry. 

I cry out with tears streaming down my face, unable to make out words. I take a few deep breaths to calm myself down and stare at the gift bag. With a shaky hand I go to open it and find a new scarf and a necklace. The scarf, a classic white with a simple weave pattern, was most likely a replacement since he wrecked the other one. My eyes fill with tears again as I blink them away, gently caressing the fabric and holding it to my chest. I look down to the necklace, a (f/c) glass bead surrounded by natural glass found in deserts and lava rock, with a heart shaped clasp.

I couldn't stop the tears until I could barely breath.

(Play You Are My Sunshine for full affect)

I woke up in a haze, my eyes as dead as my emotions. It just didn't feel real. It felt like he would knock on the door and say "Just kidding! I'm fine!" and everything would be fine again. I glance at my phone and see a text from Jotaro.

"I'll be there in an hour or so, it looks like it might rain so grab an umbrella." 15 min ago.

I sigh and go to my closet. I thought today would be nice, just for him. Fuck. I slip into my black outfit, deciding to wear his scarf. I grab my shitty clear umbrella and check my phone.

"I'm outside. Just come out when you're ready." 1 min ago.

I put my phone on do-not-disturb and slip it into my pocket, and slipping off the scarf. I can't do it. I can't wear it yet. I take a deep breath and bite back the tears threatening to fall, pinching myself lightly to center my emotions. Grabbing the umbrella, I lock my door and plop into the passenger seat of Jotaro's car.

"You look nice." I glance over to see he's really trying to be there for me, even though the only reason we ever talked was Nori.

"Thanks. Your hair looks nice, you should wear it like that more often." I nod to his slicked back hair, a few strands being rebellious and falling in his face.

"Maybe I will." A comfortable silence rested between us for a few minutes before he broke it again. "Ready?"

"I guess."

We drove in silence, not bothering to talk about him. When we got to the mortuary, my eyes started watering so I went to pinch my arm. Jotaro silently placed his hand over mine, and shook his head. I took a shaky breath and let my hand fall in my lap. He unlocked the doors and we walked in side-by-side, trying to hold ourselves together. I almost fell when I saw the open casket, and Jotaro was furious. He stormed over to the director and probably cussed him out because within three minutes the casket was closed but the horrid image of his adorable hair noodle sticking out of a coffin haunted me until Jotaro came and placed his hand on my back.

The service was beautiful, and his resting place was outside of the city, in a Western style graveyard. We waited until the grave was filled and his body was securely under six feet of dirt before everyone else filtered out. I stood there hollow, listening to the beginnings of rain tap on my fifty cent umbrella. The rain worsened and the ground became muddy and my shoes were surely going to be stuck. Jotaro stood a few feet away, giving me my space but still close enough to be in solidarity.

The tears I had held back all day came flooding out, my grip on the umbrella faltering. It fell to the ground, and I brought my hands to my face, running to his headstone. The rain and wind began to pick up, biting into my skin, joining me in my cries for my love. The trees in the distance shook and the wind howled along. The rain mixed with my tears and I bit my tongue, and with the taste of iron in my mouth I pounded on the muddy, freshly packed dirt. I started to claw at it, desperate to bring him back. 

He was all I had. He IS all I have! Come back!

"Come back! Come back! You can't just leave me here!" I turned to the sky and screamed, "You said you'd come back, damn it! Why!?" My head fell and my arms kept going, tearing at the ground. I could only mutter, "come back" at this point and the tears wouldn't stop.

I felt warm hands pull my back to their chest and the rain had stopped whipping me, but when I turned it was Jotaro and he held my head to his chest.

"We have to let go. He would hate to see you like this."

And my heart finally broke.

[Litteral tears went into this. I am sorry. (┬┬﹏┬┬)]
