[That was a good enough reason to drop his pocketwatch and make an immediate beeline for the library.]

[And then try to make it look like he hadn't sprinted there.]

Jojo?

[starmark]

[Sure enough, there he is, presumably with Jolie rolling around on the carpet and a stack of books next to him on the couch, including but not limited to Italian Pickup Lines for Dummies.]

Nori~?

[...Someone's in a mood today, huh...]

[lapidarius]

...It's usually better to make sure the person you're flirting with knows what you're saying.

[This being the opposite of a complaint, Kakyoin carefully stepped around the otter to settle in on Jotaro's other side.]

Just for future reference.

[starmark]

...Maybe it's easier knowing you couldn't understand how shitty they were.

[Cue him just as effortlessly settling an arm around Kakyoin, and guiding him to lean against him.]

So. Giorno's mistletoe.

[lapidarius]

[As was his natural position, of course.]

I should really make you pay for that. You could have at least warned me first.

[starmark]

I've been paying for it.

...I haven't stopped thinking about you yet.

[lapidarius]

Is that supposed to make me feel better? Sounds like you're getting off light for embarrassing me like that.

[starmark]

...You were embarrassed?

[lapidarius]

...I...kind of? I couldn't even put together another sentence at first.

[starmark]

...I wasn't trying to. I wanted to tease you, sure, but not embarrass you in public or anything like that.

[lapidarius]

I mean...it was just Giorno, so I can't really be angry about it.

At least let me finish talking next time, okay?

[starmark]

Waiting would've meant losing the element of surprise.

[...]

But. I can do that, if. ...That's what would make you happy.

[lapidarius]

Or I'm just giving you an extra challenge in trying to surprise me under those conditions. I did just say there could be a next time, regardless.

[starmark]

...Yare yare, you're such a dork.

[Come here, you, get into his lap.]

Are you going to be sarcastic this whole time, or can I persuade you to be cute, too?

[lapidarius]

Hm, sarcastic isn't cute?

[Excuse him while he just settles right on his lap. Kakyoin wouldn't admit to being short in comparison, but he also wasn't about to complain about the considerable difference when it came to things like this.]

I wasn't aware of that.

[starmark]

[And that puts him at a perfect angle to press a kiss against Kakyoin's hair.]

Anata wa haru no ichiban no sakura yori utsukushii.

[lapidarius]

[Which in turn was an excellent opportunity to put his arms around Jotaro's shoulders and answer with a kiss to his cheek.]

You know, you don't have to use lines like that to impress me. You do that well enough on your own.

[starmark]

What if it's just what I think?

[...because...]

You are.

[lapidarius]

I guess it doesn't hurt to be a little overdramatic about it.

[says the guy who fights like a magical girl and calls his attack]

[starmark]

That's a funny way of pronouncing "romantic".

[lapidarius]

I never said I didn't like dramatics.

<small.[that counts right]

[starmark]

I'm being romantic. Hurry up and swoon and turn into putty in my hands or something, already.

[THIS IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF ROMANCE, RIGHT HERE]

[lapidarius]

You'll have to be a little more creative than just some quick one-liners if that's what you want.

[starmark]

Shut up.

[No, really — apparently that's more than just a passing remark, and it's a request that's going to be accomplished via a hand sliding up to the back of Kakyoin's neck and a slow, languid kiss that comes with parted lips and a curious swipe of tongue over the redhead's lower lip.]

[lapidarius]

Hm-?!

[That was just about all it took to turn Kakyoin into a puddle. He fumbled to recover for a few seconds, deciding to just let Jotaro set whatever kind of pace he wanted and answering it eagerly with a hand raised to his face.]
