Kon is a simp.
Kon and Tim are not dating. They’re best friends, and they have been for years. Kon is fine with it. Until he’s not.
See, usually, Kon is happy to do whatever his Robin says to do. He would literally drop anything for him. He doesn’t realise it’s anything other than platonic.
It goes like this—
Tim: *absentmindedly* Hey, Kon.
Kon: *smiles like he got gifted the sun* Hey, Rob. Do you need help with anything?
Tim: Hmm? Not really, after the case I just need to wash my uniform from that—
Kon: *speed cleans his uniform*
Kon: *holds it up for Tim* Here you go!
Tim: *his zesti halfway up to his mouth* Uh, thanks. You’re a lifesaver, Kon.
Kon: *smiles again*
Cassie: *watching this whole thing, pulls aside Kon*
Kon: Cassie? What’s up?
Cassie: Has anyone told you what a simp is, Kon?
Kon: Uh, yes? Why?
Cassie: Well, you, my friend, are a simp.
Kon:
Kon: For who?
Cassie: Tim, you idiot!
Kon: Haha, nice joke, Cassie. I’m no simp.
Cassie: What the fuck? Did you not see yourself just now?
After Kon walks away from their conversation, it gets him thinking. He thinks of all the times he did something for Tim, and he thinks of all the times he’s felt woozy after Tim smiled at him.
Slowly, he admits he is a simp.
This changes nothing.
Now that he knows he likes Tim romantically, he tries even harder. Tim obviously notices the difference, but doesn’t say anything.
Kon does everything for Tim now. Not fighting and all that, but little tasks, like getting some paper, gifting him some food, anything really.
And since Tim doesn’t say anything about it, Kon subconsciously thinks Tim likes him back, or Tim likes the things Kon is doing for him.
Tim brings Kon somewhere private for a conversation.
Kon: Hey Rob, what’s up?
Tim: *sort of serious* Kon, what’s been up with you lately?
Kon: *thinking Tim found out about his crush* Wh-What are you talking about?
Tim: I just think you really buttered me enough. Tell me already!
Kon: *confused* tell you what?
Tim: What you want from me! You’ve been doing favours for me, to tell me what you want.
Kon: I- that is not it at all.
Tim: *eyebrows furrowed* Then what? Is it someone controlling you? Or someone trying to force you to do something?
Kon: No! It’s none of that. I thought you would figure it out by now, Rob.
Tim: Uh, I don’t know anymore.
Kon: I have a crush on you, Rob!
Tim: Oh.
In the end, they are both idiots.
