Are Matt Hagen (Clayface) and his "assistant" lovers in BTAS?

I'm currently rewatching Batman: The Animated Series and noticed in the episode Feats of Clay that the assistant (I couldn't remember his name) of Matt Hagen seems to be a little bit more affectionate than you'd usually see in a friend. I could be seeing things but I never noticed that as a kid.

If true that would make the story even more sad. But I guess good for him for getting out of that abusive relationship. Matt sees him mourning in the end and just laughs madly.

Now I wonder what else I've missed. I was wondering about Maven and Selina Kyle but they seem to be more distant. Not to mention Selina's open flirtations with Bruce and Batman.
