it goes without saying at this point but griffith doesn’t look like anyone else with these genuinely happy/relieved looks (i mean obv it’s canon that he loves him … but still, the visual proof is painful)
So I just re-read the chapter and damn, you’re so right. I’m half convinced it’s purposeful innuendo lol. I mean come on we start off with an ode to repressed (violent) lust, followed by possessed!Farnese grinding on Guts’ sword, followed by a joke about Serpico being a masochist (Puck pointing out his nosebleed after Farnese slaps him), followed by an exchange of glancing blows that imo reads suspiciously like a tease.
Anyway regardless of how much I wanna read into the innuendo here, Guts is objectively way more interested in Serpico than Farnese
