He was right in front of me this whole time, too. [Tim smiles, halfway sheepish.] There were just ... circumstances, I guess.
[Things like Tim dating Steph, or Jason spending so much of the time absent or else trying to make Tim bleed. Even when they did work together, Tim often felt like a single wrong word would set Jason off on a rampage again, so he kept his distance. Didn't pursue anything more than he did. Didn't acknowledge his feelings about Jason, even to himself.
And truth be told, Tim still feels like he's one misstep away from making Jason vanish. It seemed like that was where they were headed for a while, after the shared dreams, after the confrontation Tim forced. Everything's different with Jason, but it always has been. Tim shrugs.]
