Indeed they are

Boyfriends

I always loved Arashi no Yoru Ni :3

There is no way the true deep love bond that both guys shared between themeselves could have been so utterly narrowed into just pure friendship alone between themselves in all!! Not even children were so blind neither close-minded in denial as the older and conservative audiences the 2005 movie had to ´please and fool on keeping safe about that cover that actually barely disguised anything there, eventhough all was very safe and family friendly anyways too!! The bond between them was so pure sincere and sweet that it shouldn´t have mattered if they actually were more than just mere close friends between them!!
