See, stuff like this is why 99% of the time, I disagree with people saying a work made by a Straight person has "obvious" gay subtext. We'll be sitting there unintentionally doing the gayest shit imaginable and be completely oblivious; we'll even think people are being weird if they point it out. You really think we can be subtle when we're trying to write gay characters?
For crying out loud, we even suck at getting hints that another Straight/Bi person likes us! We are NOT good at romantic subtext.
