[for a long time, he thought of it in terms of - Dio happened. He lost people he cared more about in the few short months he knew them than most people he's met since. Life eventually moved on, and he picked up the Joestar legacy, by choice, to make sure it wouldn't happen again. He kept it simple because if he didn't, the anger he felt in the days after Cairo would have never gone away.

Dio has to come up now, but it's different. It doesn't come with anger, but a different, almost as intense feeling. The same one that keeps him as far from everyone he cares about as he can get. The same one he's trying, trying not to let ruin this]

You're right. [he opens his eyes again, meeting Kakyoin's] He's taken enough away from us.

[Jotaro leans up the short distance to kiss him, as soft as the first one. "Safe" isn't something he's felt for a long, long time. But he can make sure this stays safe, for as long as he can]

[hierophany]

[ Somewhere in the second kiss, the fact that this is real starts to catch up with him. This is real, for whatever definition of real applies here. This is at least as real as his being alive is.

When he draws back this time, he doesn't say anything. Just slowly, carefully draws his fingers out from Jotaro's hair so he can' wrap his arms around his shoulders instead. It's an awkward angle to be leaning at, but it's hard to care. He closes his eyes and pulls himself as close to Jotaro as he can get and it's real.

And it's rare for Hierophant to act truly independently, but after a moment a long tendril coils slowly around the both of them. ]

[oraorarush]

[and to think, he thought maybe they would talk about it, a little, some things would manage to get said the way they were meant to be said, and maybe it would be a touch too awkward that after, they'd both need space to digest it all.

Even knowing what he does, he didn't think it would be this easy.

But only their positions are awkward and that's fine, he gets his other arm around Kakyoin to hold him back as tight as he dares and it's more than fine. His face is pressed into Kakyoin's shoulder and he couldn't give a shit -

The moment isn't ruined, exactly, but Star decides that he too wants to hug them both, like Hierophant is, and appears behind Kakyoin to do just that, one of his big hands carefully holding on to the tendril in lieu of actually being able to hug Hiero, too. Jotaro's laugh ends up muffled in his shirt]

[hierophany]

[ The tendril loops itself around Star's wrist, coiling up his arm like a snake. He's under control enough to not appear fully without Kakyoin's say-so, but this much is- he could stop it, probably, if he wanted to. He doesn't. Star is a strange sort of pressure against his back, like sunlight with weight. It's nice. It's nice to feel his presence through Hierophant's tendril. And Jotaro's laughing aginast him and Jotaro is laughing and it's so, so much more than he thought he wanted. ]

Hi, Star. [ It sounds just a little overwhelmed, but there's a laugh under every other emotion in his voice. He lifts his head, leaning it back to try to see him. ] C'mere.

[ Yes Star should also get a kiss. Of course. ]

[oraorarush]

[of course. Star knew what kisses were before the surprise one from a Hierophant ten years from the future. Jotaro probably didn't think he knew what they were, but Star does. And Kakyoin gets one, because he wants to give one.

(Hierophant will get a kiss at some point, when he isn't a tentacle. But for now this is fine, it's like they're holding hands but Hierophant doesn't have a hand right now)

To Jotaro it's a strange sensation - not a bad one, but one he doesn't experience often, and not outside of fights and stopping time and all the reasons he normally has Star out. He stays where he is and just. Takes a moment. To overwhelmed by all of this because it still feels all to surreal to be real. He doesn't think he can get Kakyoin much closer than he already is, but he still tries]

Maybe he does like you more.
