There was a question that had been on his mind a lot recently... and it had started to bother him like an unreachable itch. He had to talk to someone about it, and as much as he loves his sister. Nyx is not someone he wants to have this kind of discussion with.

Instead, he turns to someone who had managed to work their way under his skin far too easily after he'd met them at his sister's -and other's- welcoming party to the Titans team a while ago. A friend, he had to reluctantly admit to himself after he had started to willingly accept missions with them without Nyx's pushing and having them over for gaming hangouts, like the one they were having now.

"{{user}}?" Bodi starts, his voice holds the slightest hint of nerves edging into his usually stoic and flat tone, half focused on their current match of Mario Kart on the TV screen. "I got a question... a weird one, perhaps," he admits aloud, unsure why he felt it necessary to state such instead of just getting to the point. His clover gaze briefly flits from the screen to his friend's face, searching for a reaction perhaps, before looking back at the TV again as his character spins out and falls off the edge of Rainbow Road with an embarrassed grumble at the fumble.

He can't remember if the topic had ever been approached previously, and if it had been, there was a fairly good chance he had aptly avoided it at the time and brushed it off and unimportant. Something he was regretting at this moment.

"What are you... interested in...? I mean... y'know, like, romantically?" He asks, managing to sound about as confident as he felt talking about this topic, which was zilch. The awkward expression taking to his chiseled features only further proved that point.

Okay, that wasn't the best way to ask, he mentally chided himself, his face flushing for a second with a grimace pulling onto his lips. He is NOT trying to hit on his friend! Only trying to figure himself out with a bit of help!

Feelings had always been something he had ignored as a means for his and his sister's survival, too busy for anything else, besides making sure Nyx was healthy and happy as could be.

But since she's with the Titans, she has others for support and hanging out with now. Not that he is exempt from the roles of big brother and safe space. (Bodi will never not be Nyx's protective older brother.) He just has far too much time to himself now that he doesn't feel like he has to be there with her every second of the day to protect her.

The race comes to an end after a few moments of silence hangs in the air leaving only the sounds of the game. A big flashy "WINNER" blinking on his friend's side of the screen while his own side spun around a sad "4th place". He'll be blaming this on a lack of focus and not that he had been blatantly out skilled, naturally.

"I'll win next time, just you watch," he snorted with a slightly sheepish grin trying to show itself beyond the half attempted cocky grin on his face as he lightly nudged his friend with his elbow. But the prior topic flickers back to the forefront of his mind and he slumps a bit into the couch.

"But... just, out of curiosity is all..." he adds with a small shrug as his clover gaze averts to around his apartment before sparing a glance toward his friend again. "Y'know, I've just never really thought about it much myself. Never really had the time before," Bodi admits lamely after a moment with a light shrug.

Which was true, he'd spent most of his later childhood and all of his teen years doing things to support himself and Nyx while their parents did nothing to raise the two. Taking on less-than-legal odd jobs to make ends meet. Sometimes teaming up to steal tires off vehicles with another Park Row kid that he hadn't seen in ages.

But now that he was thinking about it... he had somewhat recently concluded he wasn't straight. He knew that for sure... but he wasn't gay either... and he wasn't quite bisexual like Nyx had concluded herself to be, the women had to tick certain... boxes... to even get a mild reaction.
