Foggy days in London town
CONFESSIONS
- We have to talk-.
When Caesar heard those words, he almost sighed in relief.
Yes, they had to talk immediately.
They decided to go outside, in the garden.
Caesar smiled; it was ironic that the previous day he had been there as well, talking to Elizabeth Joestar, instead of his son.
He was feeling a lot more relaxed now that Joseph had taken the initiative, which was actually a bit strange, given the behaviour he was having until that moment, but hey, at least now they were together and they were going to address, finally and hopefully, the subject they should have already talked about.
- Look, yesterday I was… thinking-, Joseph started to say.
There was a bench right in the middle of the garden, and they decided to sit there.
The air was fresh and the smell of all those flowers wasn't too intense, suprisingly; it was actually very pleasant.
Caesar could have stayed there for the rest of his life.
It was very peaceful.
- Hey, are you listening?- Joseph asked, snapping his fingers in front of the other's face, bringing him back to reality.
- Oh… sorry-, Caesar replied, giving his full attention to him again.
- Jeez, man. It's already difficult to say it, don't make things worse-, Joseph replied, nervously combing his hair with his fingers, managing to make it even messier than before.
- Sorry-, Caesar said again, and he couldn't add anything before getting shushed.
- Listen… I think I like you-, Joseph admitted, without even looking at the other, preferring to stare, instead, at the sunflowers' section of the garden.
He didn't know it, but sunflowers were Caesar's favourite kind of flowers.
Well, he wasn't expecting to hear that, or at least to hear Joseph saying it so abruptly.
That confession meant that he hadn't been the only one struggling with a potential crush and also that, at least, his feelings were reciprocated, and knowing that successfully managed to calm him down a bit.
- Well…-, he started to say.
- I kinda like you too-, he admitted.
Joseph looked conflicted.
- What should we do?-, he asked.
- I mean, you gonna go soon, and…-, he continued, but that time he was the one getting interrupted.
- Look, it's fine to have some fun once in a while-, Caesar said.
- I enjoyed it, and you know what I'm talking about-, he also added, looking at Joseph suggestively.
- And you clearly enjoyed it too, so where's the problem?-.
- … Maybe you're right- was the other's reply.
- Of course I am, I am always right-, Caesar joked.
- Hey-, Joseph said, giving him a friendly push with his elbow.
- I am the clever one of the two, not you-, he replied, and they started arguing, even though neither of them was being actually serious.
Now that they were finally over that horrible awkward phase, everything was much better.
