[digiorno]

NO that's not

no

i don't know i just didn't know that was a thing that you'd just decided like it went without saying

[starmark]

maybe i'm just used to adding new people to my family by now

i've had to do it a lot whether i liked it or not, so

[digiorno]

but

this one you want right

[starmark]

...oh

i said that weird hang on

no i just meant the idea of it doesn't faze me as much as it would for some people maybe, like maybe that's my personal not-average or not-normal thing



mista is one of those people that i like a lot even when i'm not getting along with him. like the not getting along part somehow never reaches or touches the constant of liking him

and he makes you happy

and i have a feeling he needs you like you need him

so yeah

i want him as family

i mean that's not like the justification for WHY he's family but those are all things i think about him and it feels right to say "yes, he is" so that's that, for me

[digiorno]

oh

okay

that's good to know

because i worry sometimes . . . or think about it, at least, how i don't know if it's okay to have those two things overlap

family and famiglia





jotaro i should probably tell you something but try not to get mad please?

[starmark]

i will try as hard as i can to stay calm and hear you out

i promise

[digiorno]

okay

your grandfather and i sort of had a fight

and by sort of i mean we definitely did, a lot

and i didn't tell you at the time because i didn't want to talk about it but also i didn't want you to feel like you had to get in the middle of it because

i don't want to make you feel like you have to choose

and um we talked recently and i think things are okay now but

i thought you should know, since it's not awful anymore

[starmark]

...i think i can guess what you fought about

he blew up at kakyoin too at one point


i'm not mad

he asked me about you at one point and kind of did that, got me caught in the middle a little bit. but there are a lot of things about jiji that sometimes make me feel that way.

sometimes there are problems and i love everyone on every side of the problem, so that just means i can't and shouldn't get involved. and that's ok, i think.

[digiorno]

i know he did

i was there

and of course you know what it was, it's what i thought it would be

it's not as though i didn't expect it and i wasn't really on my best behavior because i was

scared? i think

which is strange to say but he's loud

i'm sorry he asked about me, i don't want you to . . . well. it's good loving lots of people but hard sometimes. but there are a lot of people who have enough reason to hate me for what i am so i don't want you to have to choose in those kinds of situations.

[starmark]

i appreciate that a lot

...

remember how we said one time, even when you and i might make different choices when it comes to methods and everything like that, that i always believe you don't want outcomes that end with me hurt?

for what it's worth

it's the same for me too. even when it involves the joestars. usually especially when it involves the joestars.

i think there's another subdivision we haven't talked about yet, family and famiglia but then also...

you and me and no one else

you and i are unique, i think, as ourselves and as an "us"

like a venn diagram with us at the center

you know?

[digiorno]

yeah

i know what you mean

i think

maybe we understand some things about each other that are very complicated, that other people don't understand

that's why you're my brother

[starmark]

and because we both don't want it to go any farther than us

right

whatever "it" is, that thing, it should stop with us



i'm glad i met you

[digiorno]

mmhm

no more hurting

not big hurting anyway



me too

you're a very good fratello

mm try not to be too mad at your jiji either, jotaro? he's the one who apologized

[starmark]

trust me there are plenty of things i can get mad at jiji about

this doesn't have to be one of them

i'm glad he apologized

[digiorno]

get mad at him about camels instead because he didn't apologize about camels

[starmark]

i'm so fucking pissed about that fucking camel

i hope my grandma kicks his ass every single day

[digiorno]

she should get a camel and have the camel kick his ass

i could make a camel you know

[starmark]

are you offering to give a camel to my grandma

......................................

don't offer her the choice between dromedary and bactrian

[digiorno]

um why not

[starmark]

she'll debate the merits for like five hours

out loud

in front of you

and i know you and you'll just give her both

and then there'll be TWO CAMELS

nobody needs two camels giorno

[digiorno]

i'll just her tw oh

okay well

maybe i WON'T give her two camels









maybe i'll give her four

[starmark]

....................

i'll tell mista you gave my grandmother four camels

[digiorno]

JOTARO

WHY

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT

[starmark]

DON'T GIVE HER FOUR CAMELS

[digiorno]

I WILL GIVE HER FIVE CAMELS
