JoRo Week, Day 3
My belated entry for Day 3. It’s the second version and while it’s still not exactly what I wanted, I think it has some good bones for a longer fic one day.
Day Three: April 2: ANGST | SNOW
Ages: late twenties/early thirties
Rating: T
Notes: Angst. Unhappy ending.
Recommended Listening: Blaqk Audio, Maker
💔💔💔
“Rohan. Put down the pen.”
How many times had Josuke said that over the last ten years? In how many different contexts? Stop writing threats on my friends. Don’t write in that innocent bystander. Stop working so hard.
Pay attention to me.
Pay attention to us.
Josuke was beginning to wonder if there was still an “us.” Rohan loved only three things: his art, himself, and Josuke. He seemed to love Josuke less and his art more these days.
The spare rooms were filled with Rohan’s art. Painted canvases in drying racks upon racks. Boxes of old sketchbooks stacked to the ceiling. He’d always been prolific, but there was a new determination bordering on obsession in him these days. Josuke wasn’t sure what he was searching for. He wasn’t sure Rohan knew either.
He only knew that Rohan hadn’t looked up from his illustration board in an hour and that it was long past their dinner reservations. He still hadn’t put his pen down either.
“Rohan.”
Nothing. Only the scritch-scritch of nib against paper.
“I can’t do this anymore,” Josuke said to the room. If Rohan heard, he ignored it.
Sighing, Josuke walked into their bedroom and started to pack a bag. Just a few days worth of clothes and his hair products. Taking more implied that he’d be leaving for good and Josuke wasn’t ready to consider that.
He just needed some space to get his thoughts sorted. Space that wasn’t filled with Rohan’s paintings or the ghost of his presence. With Rohan around, even as disconnected as he was, Josuke would never be able to be objective. He wanted too much. Hoped too much.
Distance would give him clarity.
“I’m going to stay at Okuyasu’s place,” Josuke told Rohan before he left.
“Five more minutes,” Rohan mumbled, reaching for a fresh illustration board. He didn’t even look over.
His heart aching, Josuke hitched his bag over his shoulder and went downstairs. Each step felt heavier than the last, as if he knew he’d never return to this house. Rohan’s paintings and photographs watched him go. And upstairs, the pen never stopped moving.

Rohan would paint the sunset tonight, perhaps get a few sketches of the rocks near the bay. Yes, the reason that he was renting a boat this late in the afternoon was definitely completely unrelated to Higashikata Josuke.

JoRo Week Day 6: Surprise
“Rohan, what are you doing here?” he asked without letting him go.
“I was worried,” Rohan said, finally pulling away from the embrace in order to look at him.

JoRo Week, Day 5
Day Five: April 4: MYTHOLOGY | MUSIC
Title: When Doves Cry
Setting Date: April 21, 2016
Rating: T
Notes: Discussion of the death of a real person and deaths of major characters. Spoilers for Stone Ocean, future fic, angst, hurt/comfort, Rohan being supportive.
🖤💜🖤
It was not unusual for Rohan to find Josuke curled up on the sofa, watching Purple Rain. It was his go-to movie when work was particularly rough. It was unusual for him to cry while watching.
“Josuke?”
He didn’t even turn around. That was when Rohan realized Josuke wasn’t really watching the movie either. He was staring blankly at the screen, lost in thought. When he answered, his voice came out quiet and dull.
“Prince died.”
It took Rohan a moment to connect the two words. When he was working, his house could catch fire again and he wouldn’t notice. He hadn’t looked at the news since breakfast and if he were honest, the musician wouldn’t even be on his radar if not for Josuke.
“What happened?” Rohan asked, joining Josuke on the sofa.
“Not sure yet,” he shrugged. “He’d had the flu or something, so maybe it got worse. “
Rohan nodded like he knew what Josuke was talking about. He didn’t follow music. But Josuke didn’t follow art, and he’d been sympathetic when one of Rohan’s favorite artists died. Knowledge didn’t matter here. Compassion did.
But dear gods, Rohan was bad at being compassionate and comforting. He knew it. Josuke knew it. Strangers across town knew it.
“I’m sorry,” he offered, the words tasting strange in his mouth.
Josuke gave him a weak smile. “Thanks. Y'wanna watch with me?”
“I’ll stay,” Rohan agreed, tactfully avoiding the fact that he really didn’t want to watch the movie for the fiftieth time.
“Is it stupid?” Josuke asked, settling his much bigger frame into Rohan’s embrace. “Being upset over some musician I never met? It feels stupid.”
“It’s not,” Rohan reassured him. He wound his fingers into Josuke’s hair, purposely destroying his pompadour. He was allowed to do it after so many years together and he never wasted an opportunity. “You’ve lost a lot of people you loved. You have the right to be upset when someone who inspired you dies too.”
Josuke’s hand came up to twine his fingers with Rohan’s. There was a shudder to his breathing, so slight that anyone else might have missed it. Jotaro’s death was still raw. Josuke blamed himself for not being there to stop it. Joseph’s was even more raw, more recent and caused by something Crazy Diamond couldn’t heal: old age.
“I can write the grief out with Heaven’s Door,” Rohan said softly. He’d offered before. They both knew Josuke would refuse, but he let the invitation stand.
They fell quiet, with Josuke pretending to watch the movie and Rohan watching him. He freed his hand to play with Josuke’s hair again, humming along quietly to the soundtrack. As much as Rohan tired of watching the same movies, he’d long ago admitted that Josuke’s taste in music wasn’t terrible. He’d even gone to see a Prince concert with Josuke, only a few years after they first met.
He’d spent most of his time watching Josuke then too. It was that night, Rohan knew, when he’d started falling in love with Josuke. The weight of the man’s death suddenly weighed much heavier on him.
Rohan wished he could write out his own grief.
