[ There's almost a self-deprecating joke there. Without even wanting to, without even trying, he has to stop himself from putting more distance between them. He doesn't want distance. He doesn't need distance to be safe. The world doesn't need him to make a snide comment about how quickly and stupidly he fell the second that he found someone worth falling for. ]
-you don't need to be sorry. Now's- now's the best time anyway. He doesn't get to be shitty about it now.
[ Maybe not the best time to bring up Dio, but it can't be helped. It's near impossible to discuss anything about that time without him being present. But now this gets to happen in a place without him. The world is small, like this, restricted to only the place between Jotaro's arms. Small and safe and comfortable. He closes his eyes, too. Dio can't use him to hurt Jotaro, now. Not directly, by sending him to do it. And not in any other way. This is safe. ]
