It’s not sexual, textually

I wish it had been. Sex in a pool of blood, maybe, but with that show, it would have been way weirder, I'm sure.

But maybe the sexuality did make it into the text. That last embrace, to me, looked and felt like it expressed not only Will and Hannibal's fucked up emotional connection, but also an element of sexual/sensual/desire.

toxic masculinity in our culture makes people uncomfortable with gay men .... the true romance of the series doesn’t get a kiss,

Yeah. I think that's why there was no Will/Hannibal on the screen. Except for that last bit, which, hey, it's the last episode; might as well. What would the network do? Cancel the show? They should have put in more.
