Kakyoin woke up the next morning. Right next to Jotaro. Kakyoin felt his whole body warm up. He forgot he was with Jotaro. He felt relieved that he didn't have to relive Friday again.

He got out of Jotaro's arms. Jotaro noticed and stirred. He opened his eyes. "Good morning Kak."

"Good morning." Kakyoin stood up. Jotaro got out of bed and stretched.

"Hey Jotaro, I know this is sudden but let's go into a different town, maybe find something to do there? Nothing wrong with this town but it's just something new I want to do."

"I guess we can. I don't see why not?"

Kakyoin smiled. "Let's do it"

Ready?"

"Yeah." Kakyoin picked up his suitcase and when they got to the car, he put the cases in the back. Jotaro started the car and began to head to a nearby city with more entertaining things to do.

"Hey, Kakyoin."

"What is it?" Kakyoin looked over at Jotaro.

"I want you to know I'm always here for you. I care an awful lot about you. You're never a burden. You're loved and I love you. I mean every word."

Kakyoin was rendered speechless. His face was red. Jotaro took a quick glance and smiled. "You saw my wrists didn't you."

"Yeah. Sorry."

Kakyoin sighed. "It's okay. I appreciate the thought and support. What's in the past stays there. Right?" Kakyoin would know, It's not like he lived Friday twice.

"Not necessarily. We've all seen history repeat itself over the dumbest of things before and it's going to happen again no matter what." Jotaro sped up a bit but slowed back down after a minute.

Kakyoin sighed. "I guess you're right."

They didn't talk for the rest of the ride. Jotaro drove around and found a restaurant. Kakyoin hadn't eaten anything yet. Neither has Jotaro. They went via drive thru. They ordered and stayed in the car, in the parking lot. They began to eat.

"Hey, Kakyoin."

"What is it?"

"I wanna ask. Why did you suddenly just call me and ask for a sleepover in the middle of the night. And then want us to go here, all last minute. Is something going on?"

"I just-. I miss you. That's all. I guess you can say, I'm scared to lose you and I want to hang out and do things while we can. I'm sorry it was all last minute, I was just excited." Kakyoin lied with a smile.

"Oh. You do know that we can talk if something is wrong right?" Jotaro looked back with concern. He was serious.

"I know. I appreciate it.."

Jotaro only gave him a smile.

"Okay. Well, now what do you wanna do?" Jotaro asked Kakyoin as he started up the car again. Kakyoin looked around. He saw a roller skate place. "Want to roller skate?"

"I've never roller skated much before."

"I haven't either, that's why this will be fun." Kakyoin grinned. Jotaro then drove there and they noticed it was packed full of people. They were never big on crowds. They went inside, paid, and got their skates. They sat on a bench to put them on. Kakyoin stood up, and nearly fell, grabbing a hold on the bench. "So maybe this is harder than I thought. But I can make this work."

Jotaro laughed. "I'm sure you can. Can't be that hard."

"You stand up. Just try."

Jotaro did exactly that, he didn't fall.

"How?"

"Balance is key." Jotaro tried to move and he nearly fell as well. "I take that back."

They somehow make it the crowded ring. There was a disco hanging on the ceiling, music was playing. They mainly clicked to the walls but neither one wanted to leave. Jotaro looked over at Kakyoin and opened up his hand. "Take my hand, if we fall, we are falling together."

Kakyoin slowly took it. Jotaro moved slowly and carefully, He pulled Kakyoin in and neither fell. Kakyoin was smiling. Kakyoin felt as if it was just him and Jotaro. The music blurred out and the people became nonexistent. It was just the two of them and it was all Kakyoin has ever wanted.

Jotaro smiled back. He suddenly pulled him into a hug. And whispered, "I love you."

"I love you too." Kakyoin smiled. Jotaro did the same. Jotaro pulled Kakyoin along. Jotaro had gotten the hang of it quickly.

Kakyoin refused. "I wanna try to skate without you holding my hand." Jotaro let go. Kakyoin then began to skate. He was going smooth at first. It didn't last long. As he fell. Jotaro ran to catch Kakyoin's fall, forgetting he had skates on, he fell.

Right on top of Kakyoin.

Without context, it looked a little concerning. Jotaro was on his hands and knees and poor Kakyoin was laying on the cold, hard floor with Jotaro in his face. Kakyoin reddened at how close he was. Jotaro suddenly got up and reached his hand out for kakyoin. He got up. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah. Let's go." To be truthful, Kakyoin didn't want to leave. He wanted to skate but didn't want to refuse him. He did drag him into this town, might as well do what he wants.

They got back to the car, and drove back to Jotaro's place. It was noon now. Jotaro took a seat in a chair while Kakyoin sat on the bed in Jotaro's room. Kakyoin looked down at the sheets wondering if he should say something. About everything he kept bottled up for so long. He knew this wasn't gonna be good for him. "Jotaro."

"What is it?"

"You said we could talk right?"

"What's the matter?"

"I'm gonna be talking a lot so please listen okay?" Kakyoin felt regret in his throat and it was closing in around him.

Jotaro nodded."I'm listening. You can tell me anything."

"The reasons for my scars." Jotaro perked up with alarm and curiosity. "I'm depressed, let's make that clear, because I'm struggling with Internalized homophobia. And I hope you accept me for me." Kakyoin felt the sadness coming up to his eyes. "Because you are all I have left. Nobody else can accept me for it. Not even me. I thought the cuts would bring me into reality but it didn't do anything." A tear came out of his eye. Jotaro got up from his chair and walked to his direction. He got on the bed and hugged him tightly. "Jotaro, please. Tell me! Is something wrong with me?"

"No. It's okay. Everything will be fine. Nothing is wrong with you. You're perfect. I'm your boyfriend. I love you and accept you. If I couldn't do that, I'd be a shitty boyfriend."

Kakyoin hugged him back. "Jotaro. I love you."

"I love you too."
