See, if this was a girlxboy romance, it'd be easier to say it's past subtext. That doesn't necessarily mean their relationship is not as potent. It's just that there's a natural immediate tension that's a lot easier to pinpoint between a guy and a girl when they're alone together. This is also how Mophead put it in Their Story. Not to say there's no tension between them, it's just that since homosexuality has been shunned for years in the past, our natural instinct is to perceive that tension as friendship when it's between two girls or between two boys. This also means the alter for girlxboy relationships is possible. There may be some form of sexual tension at the start but it settles down and turns into friendship.
The tension between these two though has only been building up. Because of that, I think it's fair to conclude that this is more likely to end in more than just friendship... Unless there's an event that causes that tension to fall flat.
