* Abed is a bit of a HoYay magnet. In the fried chicken mafia episode, Abed seems to have seduced Shirley's dread-lock guy away from her. In "Mixology Certification" Abed spends almost the entire evening being hit on by a gay man at a bar. "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" has Abed, while playing an elf maiden, flirting with Jeff and refusing to [[ItMakesSenseInContext give him a pegasus]] unless he reciprocates. And tells him to go into detail. And created a character called Hector the well-endowed, ''for Troy''.
--->'''Annie''': I’m…Ew! Hector the well-endowed? Abed!
--->'''Abed''': I didn’t know you’d just grab one at random. I made that one with Troy in mind. (Abed and Troy do their handshake)
--->'''Shirley''': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE6kLeUG87s Yeah, I bet you did]].

* From "Politics of Human Sexuality"... Troy, on playing basketball with Abed: "It's impossible to guard you -- your eyes are too gentle and mysterious."

** In "Epidemiology," Troy is shunned by a group of girls who are put off by his and Abed's excessively nerdy Halloween costumes, and realizes how far he has fallen from his {{Jerk Jock}} days in high school. Blaming Abed for his loss of social status, he changes into a "sexy" costume and proceeds to treat Abed as an embarrassment and liability... however, shortly afterward the party is overcome by a zombie epidemic with Troy and Abed as the last people standing. They end up trapped in the corner of an {{Abandoned Warehouse}} with a window allowing only one person to escape. Abed sacrifices himself in order to allow Troy through the window, and in the last moments before Abed is overcome by the zombies, Troy looks back and says "I love you"... to which Abed responds with the classic "I know" from {{Star Wars}}. The whole moment is incredibly romantic and drips {{Anguished Declaration of Love}}, especially considering the fact that Troy has no apparent reference in mind when he chooses to tell Abed that he loves him. In fact, Abed turning the moment ''into'' a reference is the only thing keeping the scene from being a legitimate confession on Troy's part. Of course, [[LaserGuidedAmnesia neither of them remember it afterward]], but the point still stands.

** In "Epidemiology," Troy and Abed straightforwardly re-enact the "I love you" / "I know" scene from ''StarWars''.

** So, so much in [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/CommunityS3E19CurriculumUnavailable "Curriculum Unavailable"]]. Troy attempts to convince the therapist that his and Abed's adventures are "very manly"... while ''attempting to cuddle with Abed on the couch''. He then remembers himself and offers Abed a [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday hasty handshake]]. A flashback shows both Troy and Annie attempting to comfort [[CloudCuckooLander a distraught Abed]] during the Daylight Saving's time-switch with hugs and caresses... also, when faced with the prospect of Abed being committed to an institution, Troy tearfully breaks down and begs the psychiatrist not to take Abed away.

*** What amps up the homoeroticism even more is the fact that in the story right before Troy's, Jeff [[BridalCarry bridal-carries]] Annie like Troy carries Abed in his story.

--> '''Annie:''' "Troy... the other day, after Spanish, I thought he was trying to hold my hand, but... he'd just mistaken me for Abed."

-->'''Troy:''' Let's go film the sex scene.

** Their "Awesome Elevator" routine, in which they sink down to the ground and ''very'' quickly [[SexyShirtSwitch switch shirts]] before rising back up again. Troy follows it up with a somewhat suggestive "That was ''awesome''."

** In one episode Troy described Abed as his other half.
** Troy and Abed straightforwardly re-enact the "I love you" / "I know" scene from ''StarWars''.
** "They're just jealous."
** The 'Somewhere Out There' duet.
** It's heavily implied in their ''Kickpuncher'' tag that they've recreated at least one sex scene together.

** In "Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps," the study group is telling scary stories. Britta's, Abed's, and Annie's stories all feature two main characters who are involved in some sort of romance. The next story is Troy's, which opens with... he and Abed as Top Gun fighter pilots. Troy is carrying an injured Abed [[BridalCarry bridal-style]] through the door of a cabin. Then Pierce (a "crazy, old, racist doctor") drugs them, and they wake up under a blanket together on an operating table. Pierce pulls the blanket off and reveals that he's sewn them together. They proceed to look at each other and yell ''"FORCED TO BE TOGETHER FOREVER!"'' ... a situation they appear more than content with.

--->'''Troy''': It is now. (They hug, and the aforementioned girl walks past, giving them a strange look.) Ignore her.

** If their Kickpuncher project is anything to go on, they very well may have had offscreen stage sex at some point.

_--> '''Jeff:''' Hey Abed. Your girlfriend will meet you at the flagpole in ten minutes. Goodbye.

** The entire "Contemporary Impressionists"/"Digital Exploration of Interior Design"/"Pillows and Blankets" story arc. After Troy's sincere and loving defense of Abed's {{Cloudcuckoolander}} status to the rest of the group, Troy and Abed get in what is implied to be their first real argument (after Abed's childishness and irresponsibility crosses a line Troy isn't willing to support), and the storyline is played like a rift in a romantic relationship. This spills over into the rest of their interactions, until everyone from [[ItMakesSenseInContext creepy air-conditioning-repair magnates to evil goatee'd alternate versions of themselves]] are telling Troy and Abed to split up. This leads to a small disagreement over pillows and blankets causing them to sever ties with one another, only coming in contact in order to take out their hurt feelings on each other in the most dramatic and damaging way possible. Eventually, they are forced to acknowledge that they like each other so much that they are drawing out their "breakup" in order to delay the actual moment of separation, and begin to repair their friendship from the ground up. This is one of the most [[BetterThanItSounds heavy, angsty, and character-driven]] arcs of the season, and is played to display the full depth and impact of Abed and Troy's relationship.

And tells him to go into detail. And created a character called Hector the well-endowed, ''for Troy''.

** The episode "Physical Education" has a scene where Jeff has a pool match with his new billiards instructor. It features both of them getting naked and the instructor walking up to Jeff while both are still naked and then kissing him on the lips.
*** In the same episode, The Dean checking out Jeff's ass as he strips to his underwear and then carefully filming Jeff's naked pool match and going to give Jeff a congratulatory hug but stopping when he notices that he's sweaty.
** We also have the dream sequence where Britta and Annie are in very short Cheerleader uniforms and push each other into a pool of bubbly water.
*** And the episode where they get in [[LesYay an oily wrestling match]] on the quad with guys throwing money at them, which ''actually happened.''
*** And in the episode "Romantic Expressionism" the group discusses inter group romance, which leads to everybody looking at everybody else. Most notably Britta and Annie stare at each other for a few seconds as if they are contemplating a relationship. Annie gives a cute smile, and they quickly turn away from each other. PlayedForLaughs of course.

** In 'Biology 101' Troy and Abed officially state that they "have an announcement to make..." ''(cue uncertain looks from the rest of the group)'' ...They're moving in together. Later, we discover that they name their apartment Trobed. Seriously.

** ''Virtual Systems Analysis'' gave us Troy calling Annie just to check up on Abed because he worries about him. It also featured Abed's explicit unhappiness about Troy and Britta being set up on a date, and when he simulates the aforementioned date in the Dreamatorium, he has Troy wistfully say, "I can't wait to get home to Abed."

** And Troy and Abed.

*** In one episode Troy described Abed as his other half.

*** The 'Somewhere Out There' duet.
*** Their "Awesome Elevator" routine, in which they sink down to the ground and ''very'' quickly [[SexyShirtSwitch switch shirts]] before rising back up again. Troy follows it up with a somewhat suggestive "That was ''awesome''."
*** After Troy and Abed spend almost the entirely of 'Early 21st Century Romanticism' competing over a girl (in a way that they specifically designed to be a civil as possible so that neither would compromise the other's feelings), she eventually chooses Troy. Troy's almost immediate reaction is to ask her what she didn't like about Abed, becoming defensive when she implies that he was not a romantic option because he's "weird", and storming out to rejoin Abed and have a heartfelt conversation with him.

*** In 'Biology 101' Troy and Abed officially state that they "have an announcement to make..." ''(cue uncertain looks from the rest of the group)'' They're moving in together. Later, we discover that they name their apartment Trobed. Seriously.
*** After Shirley's pies burn in her timeline in ''Remedial Chaos Theory'', she accuses the rest of the group of being "horny toads who sit around all night just making googly eyes at each other". This prompts the rest of the group to give each other significant looks, the combinations of characters consisting of Annie and Jeff, Jeff and Britta, Britta and Troy, and Troy and ''Abed'' (complete with suggestive eyebrows on Abed's part). Also worth mentioning is the fact that apart from the latter, all of these pairings have definitively been canon at some point.
