Why We Can't be Friends [Jotakak]

12.0

I pinched the bridge of my nose in annoyance. Of course my mother finds a way to have him stay the night. She just trying to decipher what's going on with Kakyoin and I, when I can't even decipher it.

I walked upstairs to my room and heard Kakyoin follow behind me. I guess since he'd only seen my room the front room and the kitchen he wouldn't know where else to go. I sighed walking in to my room.

"You sleep in here since we don't have anymore guest rooms" I said. He nodded and sat on the bed before I turned to walk out.

"Jotaro where are you going?" he asked.

"None of your business" I said. He got up and grabbed my arm and looked up at me concerned. I groaned and walked back in to the room. We sat on my bed silently for a few minutes before either of us decided to say something.

"How's your mouth?" he asked.

"Have you taken your pain pills?" I asked at the exact same time.

"It's fine, I just had to rinse it with saline" I said.

"No I haven't taken my pain pills yet" he said. I got up and went downstairs to the kitchen. I grabbed a glass of water and quickly headed back handing to to him.

"Take it now" I said, he nodded and pulled his pills from out of his jacket pocket. I watched him take one and drank it down with the water. I grabbed the glass and sat it down, sitting next to him on my bed.

"Kak-" I started but he cut me off by grabbing me by my collar and pulling me in to a rough kiss.

"Shut up" he said folding his arms.

"What?" I asked.

"Until you can tell me how you feel about me I don't want to hear a word come out of your mouth" he huffed.

"You're the one who kissed me" I said angrily.

"And I meant it every bit of it but you can't decide whether you like me or despise me" he said folding his arms.

"This is why we can't be friends" I sighed throwing my head back a bit.

"What?" he asked looking at me.

"This is exactly why we can't be friends" I repeated raising my voice.

"All I've ever wanted was to be your friend. This whole time I've thought of you as a friend, my best friend. So explain Jotaro, explain why we can't be friends?" he said looking at me.

I could tell he was hurt from what I'd said. I'd known exactly why we can't be friends. I've always known why, but I didn't want to accept it. I didn't want to except that I had gained feelings for this stupid boy. Feelings that you're not supposed to have for your friends. I looked at him and I could see pain in his eyes he almost looked like he was about to cry.

"Because I... uhm... I" I stammered. I've never been so nervous in my life. What if he hated my guts? What if I told him and he laughed in my face? What if I told him and he started ignoring me completely? But most importantly; Why did I have to care so much about what this stupid boy thinks anyways?

"Jotaro tell me, tell me why we can't be friends" he said still looking at me.

"Because... because I like you" I sighed.

"Am I missing something here? I'm no friendship expert but I'm pretty sure you're supposed to like your friends" he said with a blank face.

"No I don't just like you, I like you a lot. I like how your face looks when you look at me, I like the color of your eyes and the motion of your hair. I like the way your hand feels in mine and the way you say my name. I like how happy you get when you see me and I even like how you care so much about other peoples opinions" I said quickly. He held on to my jaw bringing it to his face and kissing me. We kissed for a while and I put my hand around his waist bringing him closer. His chest was up against mine and I could feel his heart beating rapidly. We finally stopped and I pulled my hat down as I felt the heat from my face cover my neck.

"I- I like you too" he said.

"But you taste like blood" he finished. I smacked my teeth together.

"I'm going to go shower" I said going to my dresser.

"I want to shower too" Kakyoin said.

"Okay..." I glanced back at him.

"Jotaro what am I supposed to wear?" he asked.

"You sure are needy" I said jokingly.

"You're always such an asshole" he said throwing my pillow at me.

"Fine, I guess you can wear some of my clothes. Although I don't think you can fit them" I said looking at him up and down. I looked through my dresser for some clothes for him. He wasn't as muscular or as tall as me so they'd be a little loose but I'm sure he'd be fine. I sat some clothes for him in his lap and went back to my dresser

"You can get in after me" I said. I picked out my night clothes and went to the bathroom. I showered and washed my face and hair. I started brushing my teeth and I heard a knock at the door.

"Jojo can I come in yet?" Kakyoin asked.

"Were you waiting by the door this whole time while I was in the shower?" I asked him opening the door.

"What else was I supposed to do?" he asked seriously. I sighed and opened the door wide enough for him to get in but he just stood there.

"I'll wait for you to get dressed" he said scratching his nape.

"We don't have all night for you to be weird about it" I said pulling him in to the bathroom.

"Jotaro, this is highly inappropriate" he said in shock as I closed the bathroom.

"Why?" I asked combing my hair.

"Fine I promise I won't look at you just hurry up and take your damned shower" I said. He nodded hesitantly and started the shower. I started getting dressed and left to my room. I watched television as I waited for him to get out. After a short while I heard him come in slowly.

"Jojo, I don't think this is going to work" he said. I looked up at him with a raised eyebrow. The shirt that was practically skin tight on me didn't stick to his form at all, the sleeves covered his hands, and the collar was loose. The pants were too long and the waist of them probably fit the best although they were sagging off of him a bit.

"I look like a whore who just got kicked out of a brothel midway through working" he said.

"That's kind of vulgar but those are the smallest clothes I have" I said.

"So it'll have to do twinkle toes" I teased. He sat on my bed next to me not laying down. I got up and turned off the light.

"You can sleep by the wall, good night" I said laying down.

"Good night Jojo" Kakyoin said.
