Wait...You're Superboy?
(This was a reader insert that was requested on my Tumblr yj-imagine)
Conner was never much for civilian lifestyle..he only felt it necessary when he was going to high school and college. He never did hang out with the 'regular people' he managed to make friends with too much until he met you. Wendy introduced you two one day after classes and he was smitten ever since. Ever since his relationship with M'gann fell through you've been there as a comforting shoulder for him to rest his head on.
But heroxcivilian relationships rarely work out without bumps. He couldn't count on his two hands the amount of times he's had to cancel or leave in the middle of dates, but you never seemed to be concerned until he invited you to talk on this little bench outside of your favorite parks.
"What's up Conner?" You said, holding his hand and messing with a few of his fingers.
"I have to talk to you [Y/N].."
"What is it?"
"I haven't been entirely honest with you.." He said, looking down and holding your hand in both of his.
"What's going on..." You said, your voice faltering in slight concern.
"I've been giving crap excuses for leaving..so I figured I'd just tell the truth...I'm Superboy.."
You pulled your hands away, nearly laughing at the statement. "And I'm Vixen"
"I'm serious [Y/N].." He said, frowning and almost glaring at you. Not in anger, just in concern.
Your smile faded again as you looked over his features. "If this is some kind of joke it isn't funny Conner.."
He ran his fingers through his hair. "It's not a joke..it's a long story so please just..listen?"
You nodded, really hoping this wasn't just some kind of elaborate joke.
Conner started going through everything. CADMUS, the incident in Santa Prisca, the truth about M'gann and him, everything. Every incident where he'd leave in the middle of dates, every time he canceled, every time he rescheduled.
"That's why I had to leave all those times [Y/N]...I'm sorry"
You looked him over, it was probably the saddest you've ever seen him. "Conner..why didn't you tell me sooner.."
"I didn't want you getting hurt because of me..I'm sorry"
You were mad that he kept this from you..but at the same time, you were happy he trusted you with all this. After all the stories he's told you about his trust being broken, it couldn't have been easy. You leaned closer and hugged him, leaning on his shoulder.
"Don't apologize...I know now and everything's okay...I'm sorry all those things happened to you"
You felt him kiss the top of your head. "I love you [Y/N].."
"I love you too Conner.."
