19th century gay couples often had a great age and class difference (and definitely less romantic notions that we today think are necessary for a relationship), so for me at least it's not entirely unconceivable that Sherlock Holmes had a much younger working-class lover. Billy certainly is very attentive of Holmes, and Holmes does care for him. :)
