>>108359764There is an episode late in the original series where the main character is at his absolute lowest, with all of his friends some combination of dead, crippled, in a coma, or too busy dealing with their own horrible shit to support him through his. All of his authority figures are actually conspiring against him or caught up in a life or death spygame around said conspiracy. He is completely and totally alone.
Then some guy shows up and is the first person to be genuinely, unconditionally nice to him in the entire show, and the MC is so desperate for emotional support at this point and any kind of affection that while it is never explicitly stated it is commonly believed that the two of them fucked, even though the MC is the rest of the time shown to be a heterosexual teenage boy.
That relationship ends badly, but the point is that in the rebuild movies that relationship between the two of them is conveyed to the viewer by a tender, fumbling, incredibly gay piano duet montage. Its actually less obvious about them probably having banged than the original series was, but it was still really really gay.
