great comment, just letting you know that it's entirely possible in a male to male relationship to say that in a serious way, without it implying you want a romantic relationship. Maybe not a very common thing yet, but throughout the years there has been a lot more tolerance towards this kind of emotional outlet for males and even for straight males such a thing can be a relief.

But I indeed don't think that changes anything in this case, it implies exactly that in Japanese.
