Why We Can't be Friends [Jotakak]

9.0

"Kakyoin, Jotaro is here for you again" my mother said. I rushed down the stairs as fast as I could comfortably.

"You're such a good friend to Kakyoin" I heard my mother say as I got downstairs.

"We're not friends" Jotaro sighed. I sighed, I didn't care if I wasn't a friend to him. He was a friend to me, but every time he said that I felt my heart crack a bit.

"Goodbye mother" I said quickly kissing her cheek.

"Goodbye Kakyoin, you boys be careful at school okay?" she called, I nodded at her.

"My mother invited you to dinner today, but you don't have to come if you don't want to" Jotaro said not looking at me as he held an unlit cigarette in his mouth.

"I'd love to come" I said smiling.

"Good morning Jojo" a girl said. Jotaro scoffed obviously annoyed.

"Good morning Kakyoin" the same girl said in a more suggestive voice. I scrunched my face up. The hoard of girl came and they all individually said good morning to me and Jotaro.

"Um, hi..." I said awkwardly.

"You know Kakyoin I've never realized how attractive you were until now" a girl said stroking my arm.

"Uh, thanks" I said awkwardly.

"Dont fucking touch him" Jotaro growled.

"Shallow ass bitches, come on Kakyoin let's go" Jotaro said grabbing my hand.

I didn't like that Jotaro had become slightly more rude to his fangirls. Not saying they didn't deserve it but he just seemed more aggressive with them this week. I wasn't complaining too much though because he kept grabbing my hand. His hand felt so nice and comforting. Every time he'd grabbed it my heart would flutter and my stomach would dance happily.

In our first few hours I noticed that Jotaro seemed to be ignoring me in a way. He stopped looking at me when I called him, and avoided eye contact like it was the plague. Maybe he really didn't think of me as a friend, no matter how many times he's confirmed it a part of me has always hoped he was lying. But today he's barely spoken or even looked at me. Maybe he really was doing this out of pity. The bell for lunch rang and I didn't look forward to eating it with Jotaro purposely ignoring me.

"Jojo is something the matter?" I asked him. He just shook his head and hid under his hat. He put a piece of gum into his mouth and kept avoiding eye contact.

"Than why won't you look at me?" I asked trying but failing not to pout. He turned to me and grabbed my shoulders. He looked dead into my eyes and glared at me but his face immediately softened.

"Fine, is this what you want?" he asked angrily. I smiled and nodded as his face was really close to mines. He reached up and gently touched my face before smiling down at me. Jotaro was smiling? Jotaro never smiled. And Jotaro was smiling at me? But why was Jotaro smiling at me he just seemed angry now he was smiling like an idiot.

He mumbled something about "fishing hay" and sighed.

"What did you say?" I asked him holding his hand against my face. I pushed my face on to his and kissed him gently before quickly pulling away. I kissed Jotaro. I kissed Jotaro and it felt good. I kissed Jotaro and I'm still alive, I mean not for long, but it was worth it. Jotaro's grip on my face tightened and he pulled me back in for another kiss, this time it was harsher. He put much more in to this one. Jotaro wanted to me to kiss him. And from the looks of it Jotaro not only wanted to kiss me back, but he needed to kiss me back. My heart was bursting out of my chest but as soon as the kiss ended Jotaro looked away from me grabbed my hand and kept walking out of the school and towards the diner. He kept mumbling something under his breath.

"Ora Ora Ora Ora!" ("Yes, finally") I heard Star Platinum say. Him and Hierophant Green must've jumped out of us. But unlike Jotaro and I who were avoiding eye contact and not saying a word, Star Platinum and Hierophant Green seemed ecstatic. Star Platinum threw Hierophant Green into the air and caught him smiling happily and twirling him around. Hierophant Green wrapped his tentacle around Star Platinum's torso. Jotaro seemed to notice them too but we both silently agreed to ignore them awkwardly.

We got to the diner and ordered our usual sandwiches. We ate quietly at first both of us too nervous to speak.

"Can I get a strawberry milkshake?" I asked.

"I'll get one too but make mines chocolate" Jotaro said. The host smiled and nodded before swiftly turning around to make them. I finished my sandwich and waited as she started making the shakes. I looked at him from the corner of my eye too nervous to face towards him. He looked at me too and we made eye contact for a few seconds before he grabbed my face and kissed me again. This time he kissed me so harshly I almost fell over and I had to grab him for support but we didn't stop.

"What the hell did I put in to those sandwiches?" the host asked as she turned around. We quickly stopped kissing and didn't say a word to each other about it for the whole day.

We avoided eye contact with each other for the rest of the school day but held hands in the hallways. No one talked to us or even dared to stare too hard at us but we could still hear them whispering and gossiping. Jotaro dropped me off at my house and before he got away I quickly said something to him.

"Jotaro, where do you live?" I asked him. He didn't say anything and he seemed nervous.

"You invited me to dinner right? Where do you live?" I said quickly. He pointed to the row of houses on our road that was opposite to mine and more toward the school.

"The house right before the one on the corner" he said not looking at me. He walked off without saying another word and I watched him walk in that direction for a bit before closing my door.

"Mother, Jotaro invited me to dinner tonight" I said. She rushed down the stairs and hugged me happily before quickly pulling away.

"I'm sorry, I forgot about your ribs, but Kakyoin that's amazing. He must've been pulling my leg earlier when he said you two weren't friends" she said smiling.

"We're not friends mom" I sighed. She just nodded with a "yeah sure" look on her face.

I got dressed in a black button down shirt, brown corduroy pants, a tan coat, a white scarf, a brown leather beret, and my black leather boots. As soon as I finished I kissed my mother goodbye and headed over to his house since he didn't give me a specific time I'd rather be early than late. Hopefully things wouldn't be too awkward. Hopefully he meant to kiss me.
