This is one of those mangas that I don't mind if they stay just as friends, I mean I'm one of the avid shipper buuut the friendship is just so beautiful; the story itself is heartwarming, beautifully written

I get what you mean. Their friendship is so beautiful! And at this point of the manga what Yamato needs is a friend, not a lover to complicate things further. But when they eventually /do/ jump into romance I hope it's done with the same caring/slow-burning/consideration they have with each other in their friendship.
You go baby!!!! YOU DO YOU
