No, but I am suggesting that they're not secretly in love with one another so that it is only the shared experience of genderqueerness that could get them to this point (i.e., no stuck alone on a planet, no being in each other's mind, no AMTDI would make them even consider the other as potential sex object).
This much I agree with. The other, not so much, but that's more a question of how we view the characters, not the story. My point was that you seemed to be disregarding the friendship and trust without which I can't see this happening, which is why I brought up Kavanagh and not Zelenka. It's not just shared experience, it's sharing that experience with someone they already trust, someone they are already close to.
