Edit - I can't read , disregard this
If the people you're around are Christian - the phrase "David's Friend Jonathan" can be a gay dog whistle , it's a reference to the bible , but ppl blasphemously muse that it sounded pretty gay when Jonathan died and David said his love for him surpassed that of a woman
2 Samuel 1 - 25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.
26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
NON RELATED GAY CRAP BELOW
Dunno if it's related , but the Japanese Yaoi movement can be pretty cute and emotional ~
Yaoi is an acronym / initialism meaning something like "no plot , no point (just spicy guy love) Also "BL" Boy-love
It's a genre started by underground female writers and comic artists writing gay fics for other ladies - comes in all flavours
But if you find art / fan art / comics or anime - there's the range of being friends , affectionate , new lovers, relationshipping ~~
The trope is that the author and reader are embodied into a young feminine looking guy , and there is some love interest thats more manly and dominant looking - and so they're being chased , kinda like man-woman gender stereotypes , but make it gay - There's often great emotional stories , drama/love triangles , spicy gay stuff ~ can be very cute and gay
