For those wanting a more detailed explanation as to why I removed Ho Yay from the YMMV page, here's the last paragraph of the description for Homoerotic Subtext, a similar but distinctly Non-YMMV trope.

This page covers only intentional examples, chiefly those lampshaded by characters, Word of God, laughter or awkward pauses. It does not cover fans' delight at or tendency to view any interactions as gay; for that, see Ho Yay. It also does not cover any Ship Teases or actual homoerotism, where the characters may indeed be gay or bisexual for each other.

Ho Yay is for when fans interpret scenes as homoerotic when there is no necessary need to do so and said scenes can reasonably interpreted as otherwise.

Homoerotic Subtext is when it is clear that the homoerotic interpretation of a scene is what was intended by the author, whether it be (as stated above) through Lampshade Hanging or otherwise.

After a bit of deliberation, I decided that both of the Ten/Taiyou examples that were up before were actually neither of the two and fell under the third distinction in the paragraph.

Chapter 19 falls more in line with a Ship Tease moment because it implies reciprocated homoeroticism from Taiyou with little room for alternate interpretation unless you're really stretching for it.

Chapter 95... well, for one, it's no longer subtext by that point. It's... um, text. If anything, I guess you can also call it Ship Tease since it isn't solidified.
