I may see things that are not there, but didn't the whole interaction between Gabriel and Simon strongly imply that their former relationship had a very very special character?

The idea is that all the angels consider themselves "brothers" (though note theres no reason to believe all angels are male or even that they have a sex). A group of brothers living for at least millenia together in harmony. They would be pretty close.

I don't know. I had the impression they used to be lovers...

Your reading it wrong - they are asexual (hermaphrodites who the morgue doctor describes to the detection have organs that rarely work) and as spiritual creatures are above sex. It is a brotherly love and non-physical. Remember they have to assume humjan form on earth.

It's the purest form of love for them. Above and beyond brotherly, non-sexual, but very affectionate.

I thought they had brotherly bond but Gabriel became jealous of the humans and that destroyed their friendship. I didn't see anything sexual about it,
