he's... well, he's not in love yet, he thinks. he's not sure. but god, does he have feelings for hal. he has such blinding affection for him it's hard to breathe sometimes. he's so glad that they've reached this point and there's a soft laugh as hal collapses into his arms, both of his going around hal to drag him into his lap and hold him to his chest as he presses his face to hal's hair. ]
... All I want is for you to try, Hal. That's it.
[ he presses a kiss to hal's temple and it's when hal makes the crack about j'onn that he pulls back slightly to raise an eyebrow at him. ]
