[ It sounded better in the magazine. When the person saying it wasn't him. When the person listening wasn't Jotaro. And he knows what he's aiming for. He's aiming for reassurance. A statement that Jotaro can't fail. That the reason he can't fail isn't irrelevance but the opposite. That no matter what happens, he's going to feel good and Jotaro is going to be the reason for it
Jotaro's version doesn't capture it all perfectly, either, but it's a better attempt ]
Yeah. That's better. You don't have to do anything, if you don't want. You can be asleep.
[ He withdraws his hand and shuffles onto his side. The positioning combined with their heights means that once he's in around the right place he's about eye to eye with Jotaro's nipples. But he's capable of looking up. Jotaro's capable of looking down. It's fine.
Slowly, cautiously, he pushes his hips forward. Starts to push against - against rather than into, just for the moment, just to be safe - the space between Jotaro's thighs. ]
A-and. [ Oh. Okay, yes, that's. Even that is something. A little more something than he was expecting, perhaps. He rests his forehead against Jotaro's chest for a second before looking up again. He wants to keep talking. Jotaro said he wants him to talk, so he wants to keep talking, even if every word makes him feel uselessly self-concious. It's okay. If he gets the words wrong, Jotaro will try to give him better ones. ] If you're awake, you can be here with me. But if you're asleep then- you can wake up later. And you'll know that- that you made me feel good. It was still you who did it.
