The Years 『Jotakak』

『Age 30』Part Nine

The two ordered, then sat down and waited. They talked and ate at the café booth. Noriaki's old boss talked to them a little bit more. They spent 25-30 minute in the quaint little shop.

Once Jotaro finished he spoke, "let me know when you want to go to the next place."
"I want to see it," Noriaki nodded, with a warm smile.
Jotaro nodded, without the smile, "I'll pay for the bill when it arrives."

Noriaki was about to disagree, but decided not to. He was taking care of Jotaro's child more than Jotaro was after all. Kakyoin earned it.

As soon as they paid they went back to the car. The boss said goodbye near the door, so you don't need to worry.

As the drove to the next stop "Walk Like and Egyptian" started playing. It was Kakyoin's favorite song, Jolyne's too.

Noriaki nodded to the beat of the song. Jotaro couldn't help but smile to the red haired boy's joy.

"You're smile looks good on you," Noriaki chuckle. "You should do it more. The way you frown scares away everyone."
Jotaro sighed, "hopefully it doesn't scare you off."
"You could never scare me off. We've been here for each other for years," Noriaki admitted. "I basically forgot what life wad like before I met you."

The both shared the same tint of red. Jotaro went back to driving, as Noriaki went back to the window. Everything looked so pretty to Noriaki. It felt more colorful than before.

"We're close," Jotaro admitted.
Noriaki smiled a bit, "I can't wait."

The two started to take for the few minutes they had left. The topic changed a lot. When Jotato started talking about fish, Noriski couldn't help but listen. It wasn't often when Jotaro liked to talk about anything.

"We've arrived," Jotaro informed. "Other people aren't here often. Not many know this place."

Joyaro stepped out of the car, then appeared infrount of Noriaki's. Jotaro held the door open as the red haired male stepped out of the car.

"You used 'Za World' so you could open the door for me?" Noriaki chuckled.
Jotaro shrugged, "it's this way. Follow me."

Jotaro dragged Noriaki by hand down a trail. It only took a minute or two but it was worth it.

Once they arrive to the spot Noriaki saw the most magical view. It was a field of multiple flowers. All the colors lined up like it was ment for him. They flowers danced with the wind like two lovers.

Noriaki stood silent as he watched. All the flowers made him feel nostalgic, even if he's never been here before.

"How did I never know if this place?" Noriaki mumbled to himself.
Jotaro gave a soft smile, "I'm glad you like it. I went here every time I skipped school."
"It's lovely," Noriaki started. "I feel like I'm forgetting everything I ever knew. Like the only thing that matters is the flowers and I."

The two sat down on the edge between trail's gravel and the field. Jotaro put his head on Noriaki's shoulder but then frowned. 

"Too short, here," Jotaro said as he placed Noriaki's head on his shoulder. Jotaro rested his head on Kakyoin's, "better."

Noriaki laughed softly as they sat in silence.

Soon Jotaro exhaled and started to speak, "I want to tell you something."
"Hhmm?"
Jotaro started again, "I like you, I mean I've liked you for years. I'm head over heels. The day I told you I liked her was the day I have regrets from. I wanted to yell you how I like you, but I couldn't. I bet this doesn't make sense so what I'm getting at is: I love you and no one else."
Kakyoin froze for a minute, "I like you too but what the hell? I put up with the person I liked for years getting married to a woman. All because neither of us had the confidence to confess?"
"Yeah," Jotaro sighed.
Noriaki chuckled, "you're a dick."
Jotaro chuckled back, "ouch."

They two got covered with a sweet silence. The moment was bliss, and nothing else mattered.

"So," the two males said in unison.
Another soft laugh fell out of Noriaki's lips, "you start."
"You sure?" Jotaro wanted to confirm.

Kakyoin nodded as Jotaro started talking once more.
