[ he said what he said and he believes it absolutely, but he also recognizes that it had really been up to kon in the end. if he hadn't really wanted their relationship to be that close, if he'd decided to keep some distance between them, well, jon would have respected it. after all, kon does have other family, a family he chose for himself, in tim and bart, in members of the titans; that's not something jon would want to get in the way of. ]
When we get home, I'll introduce you to my boyfriend. Maybe we can work together more, too. [ the thing about supers is that they can handle a massive patrol area all by themselves, but it doesn't mean jon doesn't want to work alongside his family sometimes. ]
