egalitarianmuse. Prompt: Any, any, "I kissed a girl and I had seriously ambivalent feelings about it." This prompt amused me to no end. Probably set later in the 'verse where Jason and Connor were Robin and Speedy together. (It's

Connor was being fidgety. Jason knew that wasn’t normal for his roommate, so he flicked him in the forehead to get his attention. Connor snapped to attention and gave Jason half-hearted glare.
“What was that for?” Connor asked, rubbing his forehead.
“Something’s up,” Jason gathered. “What happened while you were in Star City last week? Did Ollie say something because I’ll-”
“No, no, it wasn’t Ollie...” Connor trailed off. “There was this girl, and Roy said she was hitting on me...”
Jason bit back a frown before motioning for Connor to continue. “So, Roy being Roy, he called the girl over to the table were sitting at,” he continued. “We talked some then she had to leave, so she...planted one on me, as Roy would say.”
Trying not to scowl at the thought of some random chick just kissing Connor like she knew him, Jason just raised an eyebrow. “And? Is that all that was bothering you?” he asked, knowing there was a bit more to this.
Connor was chewing his bottom lip, the way he did sometimes when he was nervous. “I kissed a girl, and I had seriously ambivalent feelings about it,” he admitted in a rush. “And I think... There’s someone I like...a guy.”
Jason’s eyes widened at that admission; not the part about Connor being gay because Jason, like any good best friend, knew that before Connor did. “Yeah? Who?” he questioned, hoping the guy was someone he could just scare off.
“I can’t...” Connor trailed off. “Promise you won’t get mad?”
“Is it Tim?” he asked, definitely dreading the answer.
“Tim? What? No!” Connor replied. “I meant you!”
Jason blinked. “Me? Why?” he asked bluntly.
“Because you’re you,” Connor replied. “Isn’t that enough?”
“Really?” Jason asked incredulously.
“Yes, really, and since you’re not running away in disgust, I guess you won’t mind if I...” Connor trailed off then leaned over to press his lips to Jason’s.
Jason tensed for a moment in surprise but quickly caught and kissed back. When the kiss ended, Jason’s eyes fluttered opened, and he wondered when he even closed them.
“Me, huh?” Jason asked in a bit of a daze. “So, why did you think I’d be mad?”
Connor smiled. “I just worry too much, obviously.”
“Yup,” Jason replied before pulling Connor into another, proper kiss.
