you're asleep next to me right now and i'm going to wake you up in a minute but later today i bet you'll check your pocketwatch and then you'll see this and turn red so sorry if it's while you're in public
[Unsurprisingly, Kakyoin did in fact have no idea that his pocketwatch was going off in the drawer he kept it in. (Clocks, as usual, were not something he cared for.)]
[Because, as so keenly observed, he was in fact asleep. Completely unaware of how incredibly cute his absurdly large boyfriend was.]
[And to be fair, he doesn't end up waking Kakyoin up so much as it is he kind of waits until Kakyoin wakes up on his own, which may be a while, but what the hell, he's patient and bae is cute.
Whenever Kakyoin does come around, though, he'll have a still-sleepy Jotaro waiting and watching him.]
[Not too long after, Kakyoin did start to wake up, yawning and reaching over to fumble for his glasses on the nightstand.]
...
[And then he began to get the distinct feeling he was being watched, stopping what he was doing to look over at Jotaro. Who was...apparently watching him. Did he have another nightmare and not even realize it--no, he'd look more worried if that were the case. What on earth was he doing?]
That's right...I guess that I am. [Timelines were really never going to stop being a little bit confusing. But given where his birthday fell on the city's calendar and when he'd arrived, he was just a little older than Jotaro now. Which was a little odd to consider, if he thought too hard about it.]
That's pretty unfortunate. What kind of kouhai is older than their senpai?
[It's a half-breathless, largely unintended reaction, one that slips out like he hasn't really realized he's done it — but if Kakyoin's intentionally going to use his prior knowledge to his advantage, it's not like he can really do much but accept and react to it in the best possible way.]
Maybe you're a kouhai who got held back a couple of years.
[To help ensure the recognition of that as teasing, he gives Kakyoin a little squeeze on "held", specifically for the double meaning.]
You really want to distract me that badly? [Kakyoin punctuated that with a light kiss to the same spot, pulling back enough to show the clear smirk on his face.]
If you want to surprise me first, then go right ahead.
[He half rolls over, keeping one arm around Kakyoin while the other digs around under the bed and eventually produces a black velvet box, which he offers to Kakyoin.]
I know it's...well. I was thinking about something we talked about. I thought...
[He hesitates.]
I don't know if this is going to come out right. But what I was thinking was, last year I gave you something that looked good, but also tough. This time I thought...it should be good, but beautiful.
[He tilted his head in either interest or confusion as he took the box, uncertain as to what that actually meant. Once he opened it, though...it made complete sense.]
...It's perfect, Jojo.
[That really was a nice contrast; something tough and something beautiful, but both of them suiting Kakyoin himself flawlessly as far as he was concerned. Cherry blossoms...it would even match his earrings.]
Thank you. [His honest gratitude came with a quick and light kiss, Kakyoin pulling back with a bright smile.] I love it.
For your hair. If you can find someone to help you put it up...or something.
[But then his hands move a little, carefully, and push at the hem of Kakyoin's pajamas to slip underneath in search of the scarring around his abdomen.]
I can put it up myself. I know I always wear it the same way, but I can figure out h--
[He didn't flinch away from the hands under his shirt, but Kakyoin's words abruptly caught in his throat. His shoulders went rigid for a fleeting second before he tried to recover and keep the startled surprise off of his face.]
[He carefully set the box aside and slipped his arms back around Jotaro's waist, more securely this time.]
It's okay. You just surprised me a little, it's nothing.
[Wait, that wasn't entirely right. It wasn't fair to either of them that he should just dismiss it like that. If there was something one of them was worried about, then they should be able to...just talk about it, right?]
What about you? Are you okay--with this, I mean. It's not bothering you?

Good morning.
no subject
[He reaches over, fondly brushing at Kakyoin's bangs to help smooth them away from his face for a clearer look at his features.]
Don't get up just yet. Stay relaxed. There's nothing really to get up for, right?
no subject
[He blinked a couple of times, not awake enough yet to remember the date or fully process what was going on.]
Are you okay?
no subject
[Motherfucker it is summer and probably hot and gross but it's not going to stop him from snuggling anyway.]
I want you to have a good start to your day. Today in particular.
no subject
[average summer is the concern of mere mortals.]
Today in particular...? What day is it?
[He put his arms around Jotaro's waist without much further questioning apart from that and a look of confusion. Kid just woke up, give him a break.]
no subject
[Have a smooch to the top of the head, noodlebae.]
Of July.
[...]
I'm here for it this year.
1/2
[That was when Kakyoin woke up in one heck of a hurry, because he almost forgot his own birthday.]
no subject
Yeah. You're even early this year.
no subject
[Have another kiss.]
You're older than me again.

[Encouraged by the reaction he moved a little closer, laughing quietly against Jotaro's neck.]
I must have gotten into a lot of trouble to stay back that long.
no subject
[Definitely getting cuddled, too.]
Kind of a shame, though. Since when do troublemakers get nice things?
no subject
[Which was said matter-of-factly with a playful bite to the other student's throat.]
I think I'm getting pretty good at that.
no subject
[Unless said present is something to do with leaving marks on thy boyfriend's neck, because in that case, you evidently can.]
Do you want them now? Or would you rather mark me up first?
no subject

I don't know if this is going to come out right. But what I was thinking was, last year I gave you something that looked good, but also tough. This time I thought...it should be good, but beautiful.
[And indeed, the contents of the box are very much that.]

[That really was a nice contrast; something tough and something beautiful, but both of them suiting Kakyoin himself flawlessly as far as he was concerned. Cherry blossoms...it would even match his earrings.]
Thank you. [His honest gratitude came with a quick and light kiss, Kakyoin pulling back with a bright smile.] I love it.
no subject
[Sorry, interruption. Kisses take precedence.]
For your hair. If you can find someone to help you put it up...or something.
[But then his hands move a little, carefully, and push at the hem of Kakyoin's pajamas to slip underneath in search of the scarring around his abdomen.]
Can you wear it sometime for me?
no subject
[He didn't flinch away from the hands under his shirt, but Kakyoin's words abruptly caught in his throat. His shoulders went rigid for a fleeting second before he tried to recover and keep the startled surprise off of his face.]
...yeah. I'll definitely wear it.
no subject
[His hands still, but don't draw away. He simply lets them come to rest, holding without advancing, and poised to retreat on an instant's notice.]
Is...is it okay?
no subject
[He carefully set the box aside and slipped his arms back around Jotaro's waist, more securely this time.]
It's okay. You just surprised me a little, it's nothing.
