‘Huh…? Where am I…?” Jotaro asked himself as he looked around the sudden environment he was thrown in. He got up from the ground and suddenly felt a bit light-headed, he grabbed onto the wall for support before he starts stumbling forward and stood there, holding his temples. The raven-haired male looked up and was surrounded by tall buildings and crowds of people, he moved from the spot, pushing through the crowd to figure out where he was and as he did, he thought to himself ‘Why does it seem so familiar…’ He looked up at the sky and saw a glimpse of something shining through, followed by a loud crash as if it had hit something. Jotaro had a bad feeling in his guts and became more determined to push through the crowd. As he got closer he heard a distant yell, though fairly faint, it sounded familiar to him, now running towards the noise and continued to look up at the sky.
The blue-eyed male spotted where the commotion came from and it was Kakyoin fighting DIO. “Hierophant’s Barrier, which activates when touched, completely surrounds you for 20 meters in every direction!” The redhead exclaimed as he looked the blonde with such intensity in his eyes. Jotaro knew what’s about to happen next and screamed for Kakyoin to stop but nothing came out of his mouth, not even sound. “Now I can sense both your movements and The World’s!” Jotaro tried everything he can do to grab the blue-violet eyed male’s attention but to no avail.
“Take this, DIO! 20-meter Emerald Splash!” As soon as those words left his lips, Jotaro knew it was too late and fell to his knees “Kakyoin…” the redhead’s body flew through the air, hitting the water tower behind him. Almost instantly, water came rushing out, washing the blood away from the gut-punch wound he had received from the other. As the blue-eyed male look at the lifeless body, tears pooled in his eyes. He tore his eyes away from the horrific scene he had witnessed and looked down before sobbing, covering his mouth to muffle his sobs. His entire body was shaking as he sobbed before suddenly surrounded by darkness and then waking up.
“Kakyoin!” He sat up instantly and looked around his surrounding, everything was dark and there was only some dim moonlight coming in from his window, it was his bedroom. He felt the other side of the bed, expecting for some sort of warmth or breathing in any way but nothing. It was the same reoccurring nightmare he had almost every night since his death meaning that at this point, it should’ve been cleared to him that he has been gone for some time now but he still couldn’t let him go and every time he had that nightmare, it continuously reminds him of how he had failed the redhead.
He missed the other for simple reasons, one being the adorable and warm smiles he gave him, second, was the laughter that erupts from the male, putting him at ease, and finally was the bravery and loyalty he had shown throughout their entire journey till the very end.
The male ran a hand through his hair and looked over at the clock, it had read 2:29 am before changing into 2:30 am. He shook his head slightly and tried to brush away any stray tears but tears still threatened to fall. He took in a deep breath to control his emotions but it didn’t work, tears soon fell one by one, they ran down his face and fell onto his hands. His simple crying turned into soft sobs, he grabs a fistful of the covers as he tried to frantically wipe away the tears.
Slowly but surely, his cries came to a stop and wiped away the leftover tears on his cheek, his eyes were red and puffy and he was sure that his nose was slightly red. He took in deep breaths, regaining his composure and swung his legs over the bed, getting up to wash his face in the bathroom. He walked back into the room and fell onto the bed backward, he looked up at the ceiling wondering how Kakyoin is doing now up there before falling back asleep.
