[She opened the door a moment later, the lack of background noise indicating she was alone.]

Whatever you were told, I promise it was probably Kon's idea.

I'm sure it was, but we'll go back to that in a moment. [No they won't. He knows he'd go crazy if he tried to catch up with all their shenanigans.]

I just need to- well. I wanted to tell you something. About Jo... you know we're friends, right?

[Several thing went through her mind in that single moment. He had specifically come to talk to her. So it must be important. His body language was slightly rigid, but there was no signs of distress or sadness. Whatever he had to say was good.]

[Then he mentioned Jo.]

[To say it fully clicked might have overstated her deductive abilities...but she very strongly suspected.]

So.

Is this the part where I remind you to leave space for Jesus too?

[Does he laugh? Does he blush? Does he scold her for not taking it seriously? He decides to go with d: facepalm and sigh as he tries to hide a smile.]

Yeah, that. I mean no, you don't have to remind me but your guess. Your guess is a good one.

[She'd be willing to accept that reaction.]

So I am right. You two hooked up!

I... [He's losing the battle against his blush, but at least he looks up from behind his hand.] Yes. Yes, we did, and I thought it was only fair to tell you all.

[He was incredibly adorable when he blushed; she could see where Conner got it from. (Kon very rarely blushed, so that comparison would be a bit more difficult to make.)]

This is true. I mean, we did make a point of telling you.

Do I get to ask the details?

You always get to ask, but I always get to answer only if I feel like it.

[But he grins.] There aren't many details to share, though. I was just... euphoric, I guess. Full of happiness and finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel when Conner got back and I realized I wanted to share that light with her.

So I kissed her, and after making sure we both knew what the other wanted she kissed me back. That's it, really.

[She couldn't remember the last time she'd seen him so happy. It was almost impossible for her to crack a joke.]

In other words, you kissed first and asked questions later. Why does that sound familiar?

[almost]

[He laughed, obviously relieved she was taking the news so well. No that he thought she'd be against it but these kind of things... could be intense.]

We have an alarming tendency to do that, don't we? Though I admit seeing Kon and Conner just go for it made me realize what I really wanted, what I had in front of me.

[Of course she would take it well. Jo was cool. Kal was happy. There was the slightest chance that he would have something to focus on besides ~~Jesus~~ worrying about them all the time. Maybe.]

In other words, you're telling me Kon has been a positive influence on your life.

[He presses a lip to his fingers.] He'd never let me hear the end of it.

[She laughed]

Assuming we even tell him.

Well, you two are dating now. Isn't that the deal? To share everything with each other?

I don't remember agreeing to that.

[...no matter how true it might actually be.]

That might be one of my 'Kansas' beliefs, then. [His excuse for being a naive idealistic sometimes. No Kal that's just you.]

I should point out that I wasn't born in Kansas.

Besides, that boy already knows enough about me. I don't need to give him even more potential blackmail material to work with.

As if he would blackmail you. ...Unless it was really fun? Or he was trying to get you to do something for him. Which. I guess is actually kind of likely.

[Thank you for proving her point for her.]

Like I said.
