Where is the line drawn for what counts as dating vs platonic interaction in games?

I was writing down some ideas for a choose-your-own adventure story project (or projects, depending on the size it may have to be split into multiple projects) earlier but I realized some scenes come off as romantic-ish considering most of it revolves around two characters (We'll call them character A and character B, they're siblings) and interacting with them. Mostly stuff that can be easily worked around or all together removed, just wanted clarification on what is and isn't okay

Scenes ideas I'm worried about are:
Cuddling / hugging (stated through text)
Character B teasing Character A about the player being their partner and Character A getting defensive over it
A scene where the player is talking with Character A about what their future plans are and the player asks if Character A likes anyone, and Character A refuses to elaborate (directly tied to scene previously mentioned)
A chance in an event for the player to accidentally fall asleep on whichever character they've talked with the most's lap (stated through text and implied to just be platonic)
Both character A and B have a small flag hanging in their room that will change between either the gay man flag, lesbian flag, pan flag, or simply not showing up based on the gender chosen by the player

So like I said before, stuff that can be worked around, I just want clarification.

  1. Hugging and cuddling is perfectly fine!
  2. uhhh…. not too sure about this one, don't include it just in case
  3. same here
  4. This should be perfectly fine!
  5. This is 100% allowed, and I'm confident. Many projects have pride flags.
