Welllll there aren't, since that house got destroyed.

So you are correct, I guess.

No, fine, you're still my idk bff.

Do you want me to write a fucking essay here?

In a platonic sense, you fulfill two purposes for me. You're sort of Bruce's age, but you act more like Dick. Your acceptance of me (though under nebulous, uninformed circumstances) eases the sting of being rejected by both of them, even though they would both try to save my life if given the opportunity. For me, that's not enough. I sometimes forget you don't know me as well as they do, that I've done a very good job of hiding the kind of person I am from you. Except it's less like "hiding" and more like "not mentioning anything unless directly asked". So there's a latent "be a family" urge underlying most of our interactions, for me. But that's very emotionally risky in a way I can't deal with 99.9% of the time.

If you were any MORE of a good person (like... Superman or something), I would have to hate and deride you, but if you were any LESS of a good person, I wouldn't really respect you the same way. As it is, I find it difficult to ignore the fact that you occupy a unique position in my life as someone I want in my "family", not just someone I am "stuck with" in my family (TIM) (okay, my feelings about him are pretty complex, too). You're charismatic like Nightwing, the same kind of person I'd want as an older brother, but you treat me like an equal despite the difference in our ages. You're kind to people, but not utterly without discrimination. Also, you can beat me up. I sometimes don't listen to people as much as I would have if they could. (And even then.)

This "essay" sucks. But whatever. I'm not really gay for you. That's because I don't have enough relationship experience (of any kind) to know what it means when you focus this much on an individual and attune yourself to them (well, I'd know if you were a girl). To me, this is the best friendship I've ever had. But I was still willing to risk it to maim the Joker. That... really says more about me than you. Still, there is no one I feel emotionally closer to, not in the City, not in my home universe (with the possible, alienated exception of Bruce). It's actually pretty scary/creepy the kind of regard I hold you in. Someday I will be able to properly face how strongly I feel about you and be able to recognize the capacity for something more. But that is a very new and different path for me to be taking, something I'm not ready for yet. Then again, when is anybody ever "ready" for something like that?
