[ 'Nervous and awkward' would be a perfect set of adjectives for Rohan's state. He will talk and walk big for forever and a day but having a Real Feeling is an ability he's only possessed for a few months. They aren't always complete feelings; they come in chunks and awkward pieces.

Jotaro is warm. He's too warm and yet Rohan doesn't pull away. He can put up with gargoyle heat until his skin starts to melt off. The only discomfort he feels is that he is getting a little bit sweat. But that could be from anything. Snakes don't sweat. He has literally not had this problem in months.
Rohan does his damnedest not to break stride, even when his reply is just as stilted. ]
I love you too-- [ Too rushed, do it AGAIN. Half expecting his tongue to fall out of his mouth, he regroups and scuffs one foot on the ground. Slower now: ]
I love you too, Jotaro.
[ Mouth dry and gaze turned upward, he doesn't try for a smile but rather a look of mutual agreement that should bring comfort when they've both spooked themselves to different degrees. ]

I've never had anyone to say that to before.
