The past few months had been... Insane. His boyfriend disappeared, Josefumi... His Secchan. The tsunami had destroyed his old apartment, until he twisted his sperm donor's arm into buying a new one. Joubin was gone too, not that he missed him. They got on like petrol and fire did, explosively and with constant conflict. His biological father's incessant lust for power got him into contact with those Rock Humans which lead to his demise. The chain-like flow of logic in this world, it came to his thoughts after their fight with Tooru and Wonder of You, who's cryptic messages about fate and calamity echoed in his mind months after their victory. As for the Higashikatas... He wanted to let them mourn. He couldn't mourn with them, but maybe in time... They could be family, of sorts.
It hadn't taken long to help Josuke accelerate his education to college level, he was a very smart individual and had a lot of the basics down. The three of them, himself, Josuke and Yasuho all attended the same college in Morioh, although they studied different things. After much debated, Josuke chose medicine as his field of study. Yasuho was doing sociology, and Saburo was doing computer science as he simply walked along the street, nibbling at dango balls on a stick. They'd overcome the flow of calamity and found the happiness that lay beyond it. This was their town, and they'd defended it from the literally inhuman menace that cast a dark shadow over it. Josefumi and Kira were avenged, now that was the truth, he slept better.
"I'm enjoying myself... It's nice to be just us, having fun somewhere. No crazy Stand abilities, no madness." Saburo offered, stretching a little in the summer sunshine as he wore a tank top and shorts, it could get very hot in their coastal town. Beaches were always packed with people. "Nah, I don't consider being squeezed violently by Ozone Baby to be a date. Might count fucking up Damo Tamaki as one, that was something we did together." He offered, finally avenging Secchan's murder with that act. Perhaps the sailor uniform-wearing man was overthinking it...
He knew it troubled Josuke... Not remembering who he used to be, while Saburo was familiar with both Kira and Josefumi. He had some elements of them, little echoes here and there, but he was still very much his own person and that was okay. He didn't love him because he used to be his Secchan, he loved him because he was Josuke. Unashamedly so. That confidence and strength, the desire to do what was right. It made it so easy to fall in love all over again, in a world that often scared him-
"Holy shit!" Saburo swore, seeing the colours overtaking the sky, like an aurora borealis. It was like the sky itself was an orchestra, with God conducting the performance as he stood in awe, readjusting his glasses. "I don't understand... Where's the user?" He asked, if this was freaking people out... It had to be some sort of indiscriminate Stand attack. They had to find and stop them, fuck them for ruining their date. It had taken two weeks of planning and schedule aligning to get this, he was not going to let some asshole ruin his weekend off because he wanted to show off his Stand!
He looked to Josuke as he spoke. "We did, I know we did... Besides, this isn't behaving like a normal calamity, where's the intent to pursue?" Saburo asked. He didn't have that intent, because he was certain both the Stand and it's user were dead. He saw Josuke blow them up with Go Beyond, he helped guide those bubbles with Alice Through The Looking Glass. Summoning his mirror-like Stand and charging up his glasses into an artefact with his magia ability, a heads-up display like interface appeared in his vision as he tried to analyze this anomaly. "Fascinating..." Shit, it was almost
drawn to them.
"Josuke!" He called out, grabbing onto his boyfriend. It was going to hit...
The rainbow of energy engulfed him, and all he could do was scream as it felt like it was ripping him apart, cell by cell as his world span out of control, a ringing in his ears before feeling like he was being squeezed by very tight rubber tubing, being pinched and pulled in all directions as his vision went red, then black as he passed out.
Landing on the floor, he was in a crumpled heap sans Stand when Josuke found him. Still unconscious by the time he was carried to Aijo and Josuke, after a few moments he woke up, his eyes widening as he clutched his head as if in terrible pain. "Got to concentrate on one thing... One thing..." He panted, fumbling for his lopsided glasses and putting them on, looking around him. "Josuke?" He asked, looking up at his boyfriend.
