yes yes i was i'm surprised you lasted this long actually
anyway it was
[He hesitates. He trusts Jotaro, both with his life and his secrets, but there's some things that ought to stay private.]
good it was good we took the boat out and i was teasing him and he was laughing i mean not just those little laughs but a real one and i was looking at him and i guess he figured it out then anyway so we went sailing and we talked a while and then he kissed me and then you know we kept going
this was like a week ago he wanted to keep it secret for a while or not secret but just to ourselves i hope you're impressed i sat on this for a WEEK
[He'd been about to make a joke-- something about competitions and both their boyfriends leaving them, because that absolutely would be what would happen-- but that second part requires a little more attention.]
you know i appreciate it but i didnt actually think that was gonna change, you know? i mean i really like him and i probably will talk to him a bunch same way you talk to kakyoin a bunch instead of me but you're always gonna be one of the first guys i go to with everything and anything you'll always be that i think
i guess i just get it better now, your end of things, what you were describing when it was me and kakyoin and you said it was different, when it's two guys dating and the third guy instead of a trio like before
that came out really weird
i guess what i'm saying is i'm glad we're both happy and nothing had to change
doesn't that seem weird? like things aren't supposed to work out that well for us but they did.
[On all of it. On being someone who's outside the relationship; on being terrified things won't work out and being a little stunned when they do.]
i know you will always you always have
[They haven't even known each other for a full year, he realizes. It doesn't lessen that statement in any way, but it's odd, having that kind of complete trust in someone you've only known nine months.
He hesitates for a bit, and then:]
he didn't want to at first because of what happens at home like just because shit always goes to shit at home means somehow it has to here too i mean that wasn't his reason but i don't know i'm just glad it didn't work that way i'm tired of the way it goes at home
yeah thats what i meant about us being good for each other i'm good at that getting people out of their own heads i mean that's the whole point of me for giorno in the future
i'm glad he doesn't know me from there i mean he does but not like giorno or fugo do it's easier he doesn't have any expectations
yeah a bunch he's pretty great i think he got thrown off at first because he knew me as consigliere polnareff but he's a pretty good guy fussy about cooking, god forbid you don't measure every little thing he likes stands like kakyoin does he played piano for me the other week
no but thats next on my list to figure out maybe its just his way of keeping cool while also wearing a formal suit theres worse ways i mean theres also better but the kid is like 16 i wore some stupid shit when i was 16
