I hope it's not queer baiting. Holding hands is indeed not conclusive but if they end up together that's awesome. They are a cute couple.

Oh, and for the peanut gallery in the back, who somehow make the leaps of logic that is romantic connection between two characters = sexual attraction = they are underage so it's bad, please stop projecting. You should get help. Either after this pandemic is over or at least use one of those phone services to talk to a professional. There is nothing unnatural or wrong with kids having feelings for each other. There is nothing inherent that indicates anything sexual. Kids have crushes on each other from like age 6 or something. It is completely innocent and you need to get counselling if you are immediately assuming something inappropriate.

They’re probably the crowd who got really triggered when Katara and Aang kissed in Avatar the Airbender. Probably frothed at the mouth the moment the Powerpuff Girls kissed the Rowdy Ruff Boys on the cheek. Folk like that are hilariously unaware to a painful degree, and I agree with you on your perspective.
