[There's no sharp shout, no laughter, no smirk. No hidden person suddenly springs from the shadows, shouting ah HA, look what he just admitted, did you hear that? And it's amazing, even with Jotaro dating another man, even with this entire conversation having been nothing but supportive, how much he'd been tensing up, waiting for that to happen.
Because you just don't do that. In the same way men don't put on dresses, they most certainly don't look at their friends in such a way. They don't crave those moments when it's just the two of them alone; they don't feel like they've won the gold when they get their friend to grin, bright and wide, even if it's just for a few seconds. They most certainly don't notice all the things Polnareff had noticed about Abdul, all the little details that weren't platonic, and all the little questions he'd asked himself and never gotten answered.]
Not just matters most.
[A little clarification, but an important one, given their discussions tonight. Abdul is special to Polnareff, just as Kakyoin is special to Jotaro-- but that doesn't mean most important.]
But it's-- different. [And then, with an irritated little exhale:] I'm different.
