Well since this is a "romance" and "Yaoi" they probably will get together eventually; the question is how and when?
i can tell that you really mean the best for your friends in asking that but as a lesbian myself who has come out to a few friends its really the most demoralizing thing when they ask if you like them. for me at least, theres already enough fear just by coming out without having to worry if your friend thinks youre coming on to them, or have been "betraying your friendship"-yep, thats what my ex best friend said to me, even though i didnt like her-by having feelings for them. just as a psa but its really nice to see allies like you!

Something else which is quite sad when you come out is when your friend just go like "oh ok, and look I found this and did you know that it was some rare object and it cost me nothing !" and you just feel ignored even if it is not mean, like this is some serious buisiness and you should not just say ok...
I don't know if he really said it or if he thought he said it, he is so stressing and the papa is being such a good friend. Personally I never understood the friend who rejects someone if they are gay, bi or something else. My friends who have come out to me I would say "I don't like you like that, You don't like me like that do you?" if they say no, I say "then it doesn't matter. I will support you anyways." if they say yes (one did) I will(and have said) say "Sorry, but I don't see you that way. I love you, but I will never be in love with you. I hope we can find you a more fruitful love." I see the papa being like that, but he might like our teacher.
