[ Why was this so easy for that other him? All he has to do is say- anything, really. Anything true. Jotaro is one of so few people who he can be honest with, and he knows that he isn't going to be pushed away and it's still, still easier to fall into insincere self-deprecation than it is to just say a stupid phrase.
It's ridiculous that he's jealous of a himself from ten years and a universe away. Apparently somewhere in that ten years he got braver. Or maybe just better adjusted.
His hands are still in Jotaro's hair. He combs them through until they're at the back of his head, holding it still while he leans forward until their foreheads are pressed together, both of them hidden under the stupid brim of that stupid hat. And it's easier, when all he can see is his eyes. ]
