Chapter 7

"Why?"

Kakyoin was slightly agitated, he expected Jotaro to be happier about this. Even when Kakyoin was still with DIO he couldn't say why he loved him. Jotaro on the other hand needed to know. He would give his all to Kakyoin, but he needed to know if Kakyoin would do the same. Kakyoin responded.

"Why shouldn't I?"

"Answer my question don't go around it"

The silence was bearable for once as Kakyoin got his thoughts together.

"I love you because you don't hide anything from me, you're so straight forward, and you'd never lead me onto something which could end. You make me feel so comfortable that I can see myself buying furniture with you one day."

There was no response from Jotaro as Kakyoin thought of what else he could say. There was a two second pause before he continued. He shuffled out of Jotaros arms and sat up right.

"I'm rambling on, but I'm positive that the reason why I love you is because I can't really see myself being with anyone else. Whenever I think of a future, it's always with you. That's why I love you because you are who I've always wanted to be with. Even when we were kids, I'd always think 'when can I see Jotaro again?' I know that sounds like bullshit because I ignored you for months. But, I was so relieved that I got to see you again. I love you because if there was anyone I was always happy to see, and was always willing to go out of my way to be with. It was you and I don't think I've ever told you that."

"Why do you think I love you?"

Comfortable silences are what always came between the two. But Kakyoin wondered why it was so uncomfortable now. Kakyoin felt stupid for asking but he did anyways.

"How would I know that?"

"Because I've told you."

"You have?"

"I don't blame you for not remembering."

Jotaro sat up as well and took Kakyoins hand in his. It felt like a hand, nothing special about a hand. It made Jotaro feel better holding it either way.

"It's because I could say I love you with no regrets, and I regret so many things. None of them had anything to do with you. You make me so calm and that's what I really need."

"You said it better than I did"

"That's a first"

Kakyoin shuffled himself closer to Jotaro and they cuddled again. And for once Kakyoin didn't compare Jotaro to DIO. He didn't even think about DIO as he rested his eyes. He didn't fall asleep, just closed his eyes and listened to Jotaros breathing. His heart beat was a bit faster than usual. He didn't think much about it as he rest his head against Jotaros chest and counted the beats.

After around 900 beats he lost count as his heart beat slowed down. Jotaro was a weird guy. Jotaro said something after ten minutes.

"Am I your boyfriend?"

Kakyoin didn't even realize that they never even made it official yet.

"No reason for you not to be, yes you're my boyfriend"

"Alright"

"Yeah"

A deep breath exhaled through his mouth before Kakyoin said his final words before the comfortable silence stepped in again.

"Alright"

The silence didn't last long as they both had moved away from each other and started the day. They got up out of bed and went to the kitchen. Kakyoin didn't want to go back home, his roommate would worry about him for sure, but he couldn't leave yet.
