[ Roxy came to the conclusion a long time ago that they weren't as "meant to be" as she once dreamed. That didn't help assuage her feelings for him any, but it was a step forward in the right direction. She knows he can't help his sexuality any more than she can help hers, not to mention her feelings for him, and she thinks he knows that too?

Being this close to Dirk is actually cathartic. Her romantic feelings aside, she can appreciate platonic affection from him, more than satisfied knowing he feels love for her in some capacity. He doesn't have to say he loves her, either-- she just knows. You don't stick by a doofus like her unconditionally without feeling strongly one way or the other. And she knows how Dirk acts around people he doesn't like, what with his tendencies to decapitate enemies with his shitty manime sword. ]
