[With the glasses off of Kakyoin's face, Jotaro takes that as an opportunity to lean up and mouth a kiss high on Kakyoin's cheek, near the base of one of his scars, and then shifts up to repeat the motion on the top of it near the brow.]
...I remember that you couldn't scream. Because N'doul would hear it, and it would've given us away. You were that hurt, this hurt...and none of us could make a sound.
[He shifts to the other side, showing the same attention to the other scar.]
I think...for a long time I wanted to protect you because I was scared. Because you've been hurt so much...because there were too many times I couldn't save you. I didn't want anything to happen to you, and I didn't want to have to go through seeing you get hurt again.
But now I think maybe there's a difference. I think what I was thinking then was "I need to protect him". And...you don't need that. You don't need me to do that.
...But I still want to. I think I'll always want to. Because I think I'll always want to protect the people I love. So I don't think I'll ever stop wanting to, because to do that I'd have to stop loving you.
That's what you look like to me. Everything else is just...different shades of that constant.
