Kon lives each day knowing things will turn out okay.
He hasn't told anyone about it. Besides the requisite "things will be okay." But he honest-to-Rao believes in happy endings.
When he and Cassie had been dating, he'd figured that they'd end up getting married someday. He hadn't told Cassie, hell, he'd barely thought about it, but he'd always assumed that one day it'd happen.
When they'd started dating Tim, he still thought that he and Cassie would end up married one day. He thought Tim would move on or something. It took a while for him to fit Tim into his happy ending. But it could work. Tim sitting reading the newspaper before work. Cassie flying home through the window. Even a kid or two. Kon didn't have names picked out or anything like that. It wasn't really a plan, just a picture. The three of them. Happy.
But he couldn't mention it to Tim or Cassie. They'd give him that look, the one that made him feel like he was really five years old instead of just chronologically, and say he was being naive, that they couldn't know what the future would bring of if they'd even live that long, and wasn't Kon proof of that?
But Kon had come back. Everything would end up okay.
They had problems. Tim seemed more and more like he was becoming Batman, and Kon worried that if he let go Tim would fall entirely. Cassie wouldn't talk about what was bothering her even as she tried to fix everyone else's problems. And Kon... Kon had to tell himself that Cassie and Tim were not going to decide that they didn't need Kon and leave him alone far more than he should. But these were just obstacles. They'd overcome them. They'd overcome so much already. They loved each other. They had Bart and Cissie, Steph and Cass, Kara, Donna, Dick, and plenty of others.
And Kon could still see it, that happy future, and he knew for certain that they'd make it there.
