I was thinking of the Titans after seeing the latest episode too.

Most notably, Virgil's "I need a girlfriend"/seventh wheel refrain makes absolutely no sense unless Bart and Ed are a couple. There's also that hug at the beginning which was somewhat more intimate than the ones Bart gave the others.
Also, Greg has just retweeted this: https://twitter.com/azgizmo/status/1146561910243917824
All that being said, I would really like to see a same-sex relationship getting depicted equally to the opposite-sex ones. If Devastation can call Simon "baby" and we can have three couples kissing in the space of seconds at the end of Nightmare Monkeys, then they can damn well show a couple of guys at least holding hands or something.
Two possibilities:
1) Ed has no romantic interest in Wendy, he simply sees a lot of himself in her and wants to help her. She may be interested in him and misinterpreting his interest in her, and it may lead to conflict when she finds out he doesn't like her that way. (Isn't Windfall sometimes a villain in the comics? Maybe she doesn't handle rejection well.) This may also explain why the relationship is depicted relatively subtlely - so it isn't too obvious to Wendy, and perhaps to surprise the audience alongside her.
2) Ed is bi and attracted to Wendy while also being in a relationship with Bart. Love triangle time.
Both of those make more sense to me than Virgil complaining about being left out as one of THREE unattached guys in a group of seven.

That is interesting and would make for a great introduction of Windfall as a villain. Maybe have Livewire, Mist, and Windfall be a new Villainess trio.
To me, it just looks like Bart is being his overly friendly self. Nothing seemed "romantic" between them, just friends. Reminds me of how my friend and I behave around our other friends, we're very affectionate ppl. But despite what it might appear to be, we are just friends with our friends. But you can't do certain actions or express yourselves in affectionate ways these days without ppl jumping to the assumption of you being romantically involved. Which is pretty annoying. But that's what people jump to.
Could Bart be asexual? I like to interpret him as so. I would love it if he were, God knows we need the representation in media instead of getting orientation changed (looking at you Riverdale). I doubtbit, but its not wrong to hope is it? Wishful thinking on my part ?
Then why was Virgil a seventh wheel with two other unattached guys there? Even if they were both in relationships we don't know about, they were on their own at the fair and paired off in the same way as Gardita and Jaime/Traci. And we would expect Virgil to be closer to Ed than anybody else there, so if anything Bart would have been the odd man out.
I think you are reading too much into it. I've been this "seventh wheel" in the group. Yes, I've felt loneliness creep up on me while the friends I was paired up with chatted away about some boy group and their "smexiness". I swear they forgot I was there until we hit the Disney teacup ride. I also been paired off with couples, notably when I had to chaperone one of my younger siblings dates. It's awkward being their with the google eyes, and kisses, but some stuff to embarrass them later. I've also been the one to ignore a friend when I start chatting up with a newer friend. It happens, it's not weird or defining someone as in a relationship. I can see how it may appear in our culture now as any small thing that could hint at romance is jumped on, but it isn't always the case.
One of my guy friends explained to me once that its a feeling of feeling lame and bizare being seen hanging around a group of single guys/girls in public. Especially if you're in a group where the other two, or four, are immersed in a topic you know nothing about, have no interest in (me with the boy group conversation), or they make you feel as if you are intruding on their friendship. It happens. Or you in the group with the one friend, or friends, that does a lot of embarrassing stuff so if they do something that is funny but no to you you may feel scarlet by association. Double points if its a popular dating place and one of your friends brings their partner. They're going to want to focus on their date, despite saying you can hang. Feeling like your intruding, or embarressed, and seeing all these couples makes you want somebody. According to him. Also according to him, your friend bring his date to your friend outing is like a rub it in your face moment. But he had just come off a bad break up and was in a mood when he ranted to me about his feelings, we got paired up because he wasn't really in the mood for the games and I wasn't feeling spectacular that day so we just hung out at the picnic tables while everyone else played flag football. But, I'm oversharing, it's not improbably Virgil could feel something akin to that.
Isn't this just what you are reading into it? And your reading requires a way larger stretch of the imagination and includes straight up ignoring half of the episode. They're dating. Whether they're h, b or p we don't know.
