For Kon

Cassie felt good. Her head felt light and her cares felt...like nothing! Her movements felt free and she did she mention she didn't have a care in the world. Stupid boys. Who needs them? Except she was a boy, so did she need herself? She bursts out giggling instead of answering it, because it seemed like the thing to do.

A small part in the part of her brain registered the fact she was drunk. Or at least that was her best guess since she'd never had alcohol before. Though she wasn't sure if she had any tonight, since all she remembered Eric giving her was pineapple juice....ooooh! Alcohol pineapple juice! That must have been it! So she had to be drunk. Because this is what she imagined being drunk felt like. Why did people say it was bad? It felt so good!

She wondered what it would be like to fly drunk.

Giggling to herself again, she approached the Titans Treehouse, weaving slightly as she walked, only her still remaining reflexes putting one foot in front of the other.

What he was doing out on the beach in the wee hours of the morning, Kon wasn't sure. Maybe it was just that he was feeling guilty for letting Cassie down about the date or still weird over the fact that she was a he and his two best friends were shes. Or maybe he just wanted to go on a midnight swim. When he came back, he was wet, a little salty, but in a better mood.

And then he saw Cassie, clearly not walking in a straight line and giggling.

"Cass?" he called hesitantly. "Everything okay?" He picked up his pace to go meet her.

At Kon's voice, Cassie turned sharply, almost falling in the sand, and beamed. "Kon! Hi Kon!" She was very glad to see him. She liked Kon. She liked Kon alot.

Kon stared. Cassie couldn't be…but clearly she was. "Hey, Cassie." Drunk. Wonderful. He moved closer, slipping an arm around her waist, ignoring completely for the moment that she was a guy. It was Cassie and he could smell the alcohol on her breath. "Let's get you home, huh?"

Cassie'd been on her way home, she knew that. But now that she'd found Kon, she didn't want to go home. She wanted to stay here with him. Things were so much better with him. She shook her head. "No, I don't want to go home. Let's stay here." She wiggled against his grip on her waist, wanting to be let go.

The wiggling would have been so bad if Kon hadn't moved a little when she'd started moving to get a firmer grip. "Uhh, Cassie?" No, that was wrong. His voice wasn't that squeaky. He cleared his throat and tried again. "Come on. Pretty soon you're not going to be able to climb upstairs and do you really want to sleep down here?"

"Will you sleep down here with me?" She asked with a laugh, turning into him despite his tight grip. "Oh that would be fun! A sleep over on the beach! And one can give us those weird looks since we're both boys!" Oh her logic was perfect and she began tugging Kon towards the beach.

Right. He was definitely never, ever getting drunk. Not if it made people act the way Cassie was. He was tempted to humor her, but he was pretty sure that she'd feel awful in the morning and he was definitely sure that he wasn't going to be able to carry her back up to the treehouse.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wouldn't you like a nice, comfy bed?" He was going to hell for this.

Cassie's nose scrunched as she deeply thought about this. Beach! Bed! Beach! Bed! Of course, her smile got bright as something else occurred to her and she wrapped her arms around Kon's neck, ignoring how kinda of awkward it was in their current situation. "Will you come with me?" She attempted a purr but it just sounded more like she was suppressing a giggle.

Oh god help him. Was Cassie trying to...no. He had to be misunderstanding her intent. She just wanted company, right? Someone to stay with her until she fell asleep. He tried to ignore the lingering doubt about how he might keep her company.

"'Course I will, Cass. Didn't even cross my mind to do otherwise."

Cassie practically beamed! She tugged him closer. "Of course you will. Because you are Kon and I like you so much." Then she totally forgot anything about gender and kissed him happily and fully. It was nice and normal and nothing like the kiss with Eric.

Kissing him. She was...he was... Kissing him.

Kon struggled to ignore the fact that the kiss pretty much seemed like any other kiss he'd had with her. If he ignored it, he could ignore the question of whether it was just Cassie that made it seem normal or whether it was her...his...body and that kissing guys was just as normal as kissing girls.

"C'mon," he muttered, pulling back a shade too quickly, hoping she didn't noticed. "Let's head upstairs."

Thankfully, Cassie felt too good at the moment to notice how fast he pulled away. She still clung to Kon since for some reason her feet were beginning to not cooperate with her anymore. Silly feet.

She just beamed at him. "Yes okay, let's go!"

Kon breathed a sigh of relief. Good. He could get her upstairs and he could get her into bed and maybe she wouldn't remember any of this the next morning. Because he couldn't believe that he'd kissed Cassie when she was a boy. That was as bad as kissing Tim or Bart or something. Wasn't it?

Cassie followed Kon upstairs willingly, if slow from dragging her heavy feet. Silly boy feet, getting in the way. She even didn't protest as he got her into her bed, especially since she was suddenly feeling very sleepy, like a light switch was turned off in her head. But she still gave Kon a sleepy smile before he could go. "G'night Kon."

"'Night, Cassie," Kon said softly, glancing at her one last time before shutting the door.

Cassie woke up the next morning...and wish she hadn't. Her head was pounding, her mouth was dry and her whole body felt like a lead weight. She just lay there for a few long minute, crawling her way to consciousness so she could figure out why she felt this way.

She struggled to sit up...and it came to her in a rush as she did. The party. Eric kissing her. Her obviously getting drunk. Her kissing Kon as a boy. She groaned and stopped trying to sit up, instead curling into a ball. She felt horrible and now it wasn't even the hang over. Kon had already been freaked out by the whole boy thing. Kissing him might have been the last straw. What had she done?

A small part of her brain noticed that she had her own body back. Which was a small plus.

She still wasn't moving from this spot.

Hangover, hangover, what to do for a hangover?

Well, somewhere in his head, he knew that the cause of a hangover was dehydration, so he got a large glass of water and some of the painkillers that were left over from his concussion and knocked softly on Cassie's door. He resolutely did not think about last night and the fact that she'd kissed him. That he'd kissed him. It was too weird to think about.

"Hey, sleepyhead, you up in there?"

Oh god. It was Kon. Cassie just pulled the covers over her head and hoped he went away. All kinds of awful scenarios were going through her head and the fact that she felt all gross wasn't helping either. She just wanted to die.

Kon frowned when he didn't here her. Damn it. He should have stayed inside and made sure she was okay. Slept on the floor or something. He knocked again, a little harder and faster. "Cassie? Are you in there?" If she didn't answer this time, he was going to open the door. Just to check.

The harder knock made her flinch but Cassie still didn't respond. She hugged her knees to her chest to fight back the queasy feeling in her stomach from the hangover that was just multiplied by the stress. If Kon didn't go away soon, she was in danger of throwing up in her bed, but even that wasn't enough to make her consider moving and facing him.

Sometimes she dropped all of her fronts and stopped trying to be brave all the time. This was one of those times.

Kon opened the door carefully, making sure not to look at where he knew the bed was. "Cassie? I have some water. And painkillers. I thought that might help with the hangover. Do you...mind if I...you're there, right? Or are you asleep? I hope you're there and I'm not talking to thin air because that would be really embarrassing."

Not that he really thought that Cassie had managed to slip by him with a hangover.

Cassie'd managed to stay still for a pretty long time, holding her breath as he asked if she was there. And she almost made it except her stomach picked that moment to roll and she gripped her tummy with a short moan to stop herself from throwing up in the bed. While she succeeded in that, she knew she had alerted Kon to her presence, but she still refused to move.

A moan. A very bad-sounding moan and not one of the...well, no, he wasn't going there. But also a very female-sounding moan. Kon sucked in a breath and turned to look. "Cassie. There's water. And whatever painkiller they have on stock. Just...take it? Please?" Or else he'd even feel worse about everything that had happened the last few days.

It was the pleading. She felt bad enough after everything else so she gave in and crawled out from under the blankets, sitting up with her arms still hugged around her middle. Cassie didn't look up from the blankets as she just miserably held out her hand for the painkillers.

"Thanks Kon." She said softly, "You didn't have to do that."

Kon moved a little closer and sat on the bed next to her. His hand brushed hers softly as he poured the pills into her open hand and he held the water out for her to take when she was ready. "Of course I did. I've never had one, but I've heard that hangovers are pretty nasty and I wasn't going to leave you to deal with it yourself."

And if he was lucky, she didn't remember the kiss at all.
