Well, considering the unusual flow of time, I thought it was relevant to speak of this now.

I was wondering how many of you are familiar with the concept of alternative timelines and realities. Merely for a pure discussion standpoint, or if you had a curiosity without really any understanding of it.

I suppose in my way, it's to clear my mind. Sort it out and such.

I'll assume that's permission, then.

[Gently, he scoops Jotaro into his arms, like he's a princess. He lays a kiss to his brow and takes the two of them out of the clinic.]

Regardless of what happens... even if you forget me. I'll be with you. Is that all right?

[starmark]

I know you were just waiting for it all this time.

[He is 6'5" and if every single doctor in this clinic didn't already suspect he is all hells of whipped for his amazing boyfriend THEY WOULD SURE FIGURE IT OUT RIGHT NOW.]

...Shit, I didn't even think — fuck. I don't want to forget you.

[All of a sudden, this prospect casts an upsettingly dark shadow over what was already kind of a shitty day.]

I don't want to forget...

[reposing]

...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.

[A perpetual concern that he has actually. Forgetting.]

It'll be all right. I'll do what I can to remind you, if it happens. But for now, we'll take it moment by moment.

[starmark]

...Okay. Okay, listen. If I forget, and it looks like I don't believe you or something, and you need to get me to listen to you and I won't...

[He thinks hard a minute, before closing his eyes and sighing.]

Tell me, "Godzilla says to listen". Okay? That'll — that should do it.

[reposing]

..."Godzilla says to listen".

[that sounds. fake??]

All right. I believe you.

[starmark]

...It's this toy I had. When I was a kid.

[GOD HE'S REALLY GOING TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS RIGHT NOW ISN'T HE. goodbye forever, street cred.]

I never told his name to anybody. Except, like, my mom. Jiji. People who had the right to know stuff about me.

[reposing]

Oh.

[That's... so fucking cute?! Alucard can't help but smile and roughly nuzzle at Jotaro's temple.]

I had a favorite toy as well when I was a boy. It makes sense.

[starmark]

[RIP any coolguy credibility he ever had, gone forever, he owned a stuffed animal once.]

So if you forgot me...it would be enough that I know your name, right? Would that be enough to make you listen to me?

[reposing]

If I forget you...

[Alucard pauses and considers for a moment.]

If I forget you, tell me that you've been to Lupu. I'll be more inclined to listen.

[starmark]

Lupu. Right, that was when we went — after the castle.

[Lupu would suggest that he's met Alucard's mom. Not really surprising, that that's what he'd choose. Not when you really think about it.]

...Hey.

[He's still dangling from Alucard's arms, and it doesn't give him a whole lot of leverage, but he still can hoist himself up enough to nuzzle lightly against his cheek.]

You're mine. And I'm yours. So if you're the one who remembers...then you better drag my ass out and around until I fall for you all over again, because I will. And if you're the one who forgets...then you're really in for it, because I'm going to be the one coming after you. And I'm not gonna leave you alone.

[reposing]

[The affection is still appreciated, albeit not half as much as he adores hearing those words. You're mine. And I'm yours. He has to stop so he can look at Jotaro in the eyes before ducking his head down to catch his mouth in a kiss, his fangs brushing against his lower lip.]

Then I won't leave you be, if it comes to that. And I expect you will do the same.

I never want to forget you. And if I do, I want to relearn you all over again.

[starmark]

Hmmm.

[He should really feel more self-conscious about the fact that they're essentially in public and being That Couple™ about it but you know what, he's having a bad day and therefore he is making the executive decision to professionally not give a shit what anyone things.]

Careful with those fangs. You said not more than once a month, and I've got plans for your birthday.

[He smirks a little, crookedly.]

Unless you want to make an exception.

[reposing]

[Adrian laughs against his mouth, then gently nips one more time.]

I'm allowed to tease. I am perfectly capable of waiting.

[Another stolen kiss, and he draws back so he can carry Jotaro home proper. You know, as you do, carrying your boyfriend like he's an injured waif.]

[starmark]

Fuck. I was really hoping that would get you, too.

[you know his motorcycle is still parked back there in the clinic parking l— whatever it's fine, he'll get it later, he is being carried home like a pretty pretty princess and he might as well just accept his fate.]
