I suppose that is possible.

[To be honest, Armin hadn't particularly gone all head over heels over girls back home either. Love was complicated. And going all moonstruck and gaga-eyes like Jean had over Mikasa... that was just embarrassing.]

It's also... not really the sort of thing we talk about back home.

[Being anything not straight that is. Straightness is very much talked about, or at least, it is in barracks full of hormonal horny teenage boys who love to one up each other with how much experience they have with the other sex.]

[Kazuki despite having an extremely loving personality towards pretty much anyone who feels close to him, also takes a bit before he realizes romantic feelings. But when they hit him, they hit him like a semi on the freeway. He felt like the floor had been knocked out from under him when he figured out how he felt about Kahoko.]

Ah, we don't really either. [Japan isn't so great about anything other than heterosexuality either. People like him are usually reduced to unflattering stereotypes.] But I'm cool with it, so don't worry.

I know. I've seen how you act around Shiro. I don't think I would've told you if I thought you would mind at all.

[He thinks for a moment.]

I don't really think I've told anyone at all. Before this, that is.

[forsaintcecilia]

Aww, really? I'm touched! That takes a lot of trust!

[schachmeister]

It does.

[Though he hastens to add:]

Ah! Not that I don't trust Shiro and the others.

[It just... never came up in a way that felt organic to him. He doesn't want to make it into a scene or anything big. Which is what announcing it out of nowhere would feel like to him.]

[forsaintcecilia]

I'm sure you do! But it's cool that you trust me too, even when I'm not in that group.
