[The fact that Adrian doesn't correct him on the matter of the coffin versus the bed is conspicuous, to say the least. He doesn't know all the ins and outs of it, obviously, but he remembers a little of what Adrian has told him before — coffins are for deep sleep, restful slumber. They're for healing, too — that's why he had the one he slept in after his father attacked him.
He doesn't challenge the offer of the coffin, and that raises a few possible reasons in Jotaro's mind. Maybe he's hurt and needs the recuperation. Maybe he's exhausted and needs the sleep.
Maybe he wants to be alone, as opposed to sharing a bed.
Whatever it is, it makes his stomach twist. He focuses instead on trying to coax Adrian into relaxing with soft touches, petting at him with gentle fingertips.]

Yeah, of course.
[He hesitates, warring with himself.]
Adrian...can I — can I kiss you...?
