I know that. Just as much as I believe in you. [His hand dropped away from his eyes in favor of lacing their fingers together.]

...What I'm trying to say is that I'm going to need you with me. Together, like we should be.

[starmark]

Yeah. You know I will be.

[He pauses, giving Kakyoin's fingers a slight squeeze.]

Listen. I'm going to say this, too, because I think it's good for you to hear it. Because I'm speaking from experience when I say it.

You're going to mess up. I have. You're going to backslide; I did. Sometimes change is like...crawling up a steep gravel hill on your elbows. It'll hurt. You'll fuck up. You'll slide back down.

No one is going to stop caring about you if that happens. Understand?

[lapidarius]

It won't...get annoying?

[It sounded like asking that took actual effort, probably because it did. Kakyoin kept reminding himself that he had to be open and straightforward here, if absolutely nowhere else just yet.]

[...He really, really still wasn't great at the whole friendship thing.]

I don't want to end up looking like some kind of lost cause.

[starmark]

You can't worry about it like that.

[He pulls him a little closer, nuzzling down onto the top of his head.]

When something inside you says, "I'm afraid I look like a lost cause", tell it, "Jotaro would never give up on me." Until it shuts up.

[lapidarius]

... [Kakyoin laughed to himself, squeezing Jotaro's hand in response.]

I can do that. You're the only person I know that's more stubborn than I am, after all.

[starmark]

Good. Try that for a while, and see where it gets you.

[lapidarius]

Hopefully not too far from right here. I'm kind of enjoying where we are at the moment.
