Romantic or platonic cclingyduo?

Donnttt make me do this Cupid, I struggle with this question enough as it is !!!!!

Because while I do love the idea of romantic cclingyduo and every post about them, I find it a bit difficult to imagine; somehow.

Platonic cclingyduo is much easier (in what way? I don't know) plus I feel like it has a lot of potential for pushing the idea of "deep and complex relationships don't have to be romantic (or familial)" and I always loved the relationship dynamics that could come from cbeeduo being together as a couple and cTommy being their mutual friend.

But cclingyduo being in a romantic relationship together just Makes Sense because of course they are!! It's cTubbo and cTommy! The two who stuck around each other no matter who tried breaking them apart. The two who were always by the other's side no matter how far away they were. The two that started it all and the two that ended it all. They were soulmates I tell you. SOULMATES. And sure it wasn't easy, it wasn't easy at all, but that didn't stop them. The miscommunication, betrayals, stress, trauma, and everything else didn't stop them from finding their happy ending together. I think that deserves some recognition, and also I think they should be able to kiss. As a treat.

A romantic relationship would not only be an easy way to portray that but it would also be what they deserve I think. But the reason I believe it's so hard to imagine is because I find it unlikely they would both be able to agree to being in a relationship. They both have very different coping mechanisms and overall personalities if you look at the details and the amount of things that are misunderstood or simply go unsaid makes it difficult to see them officially together. And I can imagine they'd pull the whole "our relationship is so fragile as it is, if i propose this idea it may make me lose one of the people most important to me and I don't know if it's worth that risk."

Anywho, I like best the idea that either one of them did (or still do) have romantic feelings for the other but it was never acted out on (except for a kiss at LEAST once) and their relationship and dynamic is so odd and Quirky that they single-handedly blur the line separating romantic and platonic in a way that confuses anyone but them.
