[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.]

[starmark]

...Hey.

[He draws back just a little, brushing their noses together rather than withdrawing completely once he's ready to break for air.]

Was I your first kiss? That one day, when you did it.

[lapidarius]

...yeah, you were. Does that make a difference?

[starmark]

Yeah. It makes a difference to me.

[Speaking of kisses, hello.]

Thanks for letting me be the one to have it.

[lapidarius]

[oh hi there]

I wouldn't want it to be anyone else's.

[starmark]

I...

[He pauses, shifting the positioning of his hands for the moment, so that one settles on Kakyoin's waist above his hip, and the other can skim along the length of his spine.]

I want to tell you something. About that. That day, I mean, and that kiss.

[lapidarius]

...Okay. I'm listening.

[Kakyoin's hands dropped to Jotaro's shoulders, waiting for him to keep talking.]

[starmark]

...You startled me. I wasn't expecting it, and...

[He murmurs a little, unintelligible sounds standing in for words, and focuses on keeping up the rhythm of his steady caresses for a minute while he puts words together.]

Star...reacted. To my surprise. He...

[Breathe.]

...I didn't order it to happen. I promised I wouldn't do that to you, I didn't break my word. It...it just happened.

[lapidarius]

So you...

[Blinking a couple of times as he connected point A with point B, Kakyoin's reaction was difficult to judge. He didn't look angry, and if anything 'surprise' seemed to be winning out over several other options.]

[After thinking about this for just a few seconds, his face broke out into an awkward smile that was just barely holding back laughter.]

You stopped time because I kissed you.

[...Apparently that was hilarious for some reason--the reason being something in the realm of 'seriously?']

[starmark]

[...Well, that's — okay, that's a lot better than being mad, at least, though it doesn't help the splashes of hot blush that rise to the surface of his cheeks, which he promptly tries to hide by tipping down his chin and using his hat as cover.]

Just...in case you were wondering. The world stood still for your first kiss...or something.

[lapidarius]

I should be a little flattered, if I can stop the world just by kissing you. I'll be sure to use this newfound power wisely.

[starmark]

I've been using it more often now.

...Never around you, like I said. I promise.

[lapidarius]

I know. I trust you to at least say something first, apparent exception aside.

[...]

Do you think...you could show me, sometime? If you wanted to.

[starmark]

...I can show you whenever you want. You tell me how, and I'll do it.

[But...that seems worth re-emphasizing, so.]

Only what you say. So you'll know what will change.

[lapidarius]

Are you sure that you're okay with that?

[starmark]

Why wouldn't I be? If doing otherwise risks hurting you...

[...]

I'm not okay with hurting you.

[lapidarius]

No, I just mean...in general. I wasn't sure if using it around me is going to bother you.

[starmark]

...I'm getting better at it. I've been using it more, and it's not so...

It's a little more mine, every time.

[lapidarius]

That's...really good to hear. I knew you'd be able to do that sooner or later, but I'm still proud of you for it.

[Kakyoin leaned in for a light, quick kiss to the cheek again, before pulling back and glancing around.]

What do you think? What'd be easy to change in a few seconds?

[starmark]

...Thanks.

[Sentimental or not, it's...good to hear. Reassuring. Nice.]

Would it help if...maybe, if you closed your eyes? To start with, I could...move you, but with your eyes closed. So...you control when you see the world changing. Even just in a little way.

[lapidarius]

That's not a bad idea. If you're okay with something like that, I think that I should be able to handle it.

[starmark]

Then put your arms around my neck. So you can feel where I am, that I've got you. Arms around my neck, and look at me...and count backwards from five. When you reach two...close your eyes.

[He leans forward, brushing a kiss against Kakyoin's temple in what he hopes is a soothing way.]

When you reach zero, we'll be somewhere else.
