Chapter 18: GI: Ambrose Is A Flirt
Glitch/Ambrose might be (is definitely) gay but flirts with women too, Cain (actually) isn't gay at all, and everyone thinks they're both gay.
The best part is that it's not like anyone is wrong or stupid for assuming they're in a terribly-hidden secret relationship: a high-level noble and an ex-Tin Man that are physically affectionate and flirt regularly, yet adamantly deny they're together?
To anyone that does not know them both very well, pretty much the only reasonable conclusion is that they're hiding their relationship out of some misplaced assumption that they wouldn't be accepted because of classism or whatever. XD
Ambrose was formal and arrogant, but charming and social as well. This particular combination lent itself well to his habit of casual, playful flirtation.
Glitch is a massive flirt. It takes Cain a while to realize how much Glitch flirts with him, and it takes a while longer for him to realize that the Zipperhead doesn't actually mean anything by it (thank Gods, as no-one gets to have his heart but Adora).
It takes him another long while to catch himself meaninglessly flirting back.
AKA: Glitch does things like ask Cain to dance and Cain does things like call him 'Sweetheart', and while the affection is sincere they both know the flirting doesn't really mean anything.
It takes them a very long while, after the kingdom is restored and Glitch is Ambrose again, to realize that other people don't necessarily know that fact.
AAKA: Ambrose and Cain are mistaken for dating because the already-a-giant-flirt Zipperhead found a favorite target for his flirting and the not-a-flirt-but-plays-along-with-Glitch Tin Man only ever flirts with Ambrose. Convincing anyone beyond their closest friends to the contrary proves hilariously futile.
