Like... not everything has to be straight or gay. Not everything even has to have anything to do with that kind of relationship. There might be no straight explanation, but that doesn't mean it's automatically gay. There's no straight explanation for the sun. Because straightness is totally unrelated to the sun. The same applies in some cases here. (Although I do agree with you for some of it)

That’s why he buried the letter he wrote expressing his feelings that he planned on giving to Havers with a grenade so if the letter/box was found it would be destroyed in an instant.

I really want ghosts to have another season in which we get to learn more about Cap’s death and also more about him and Havers. Like I want Cap to suggest to Alison to try and find Havers and she does and he’s a ghost in a cemetery or war memorial or something not far from button house and Alison talks to Havers and for it all to be super sweet when she goes back and tells the Captain how Havers is a ghost and how he came back to England after the war was over to reunite with their battalion (aka came to reunite with the Captain because they’re both fruity icons) but sadly died because of maybe like a disease before he could.
