Kakyoin does not jump when footsteps approach. Not at all. When he spins around, though, it’s a little too fast. The world shifts around him dizzyingly.
“Hey!” And there are strong hands to steady him. It’s comforting, but Kakyoin doesn’t want to rely on them too heavily.
“Is there something wrong?” he asks with effort.
“Yeah,” Jotaro is frowning deeper than usual, looking him over. He’s…worried? “There was a Stand attack, wasn’t there?”
Kakyoin starts, and there’s no hiding it given that Jotaro has yet to move away. His eyes are probably gigantic. I-is Jotaro remembering?
“It made us all distrust each other. Played on our minds. That’s why you seemed so off. You knew and you couldn’t get us to listen.”
Kakyoin’s shoulders slump a little. He tries not to look disappointed. It isn’t as if Jotaro’s wrong, but it would’ve been nice to actually talk about it.
“I can’t figure out how the Stand User got so close—unless it’s a long range type, or maybe, after that damn orangutan, it was a raptor or someth-”
Jotaro is…well, it’s not babbling, but it’s more than he ever talks. It’s almost adorable. He really is worried. And cares. And that’s what Kakyoin needs right now. “Jojo, stop. I took care of it.”
That gets Jotaro’s attention. There’s a hint of hesitation, like he wants to ask if Kakyoin’s sure but doesn’t want to imply he couldn’t take care of it. He settles on, “By yourself. Because we wouldn’t help.”
“That wasn’t your fault-” he begins and is interrupted by a yawn.
“Sleep, Noriaki. If anything happens, I’ll wake you up. I’ve got your back.”
And for the first time in a little while, Kakyoin’s comfortable with doing exactly that.
