Actually what is wrong with their Relationship having an easy-going in the lore? Maybe you are refering to our current society where homosexuality by any means is not full accepted yet and there is lots of bullying and all, but this here is a backround story of a fictional champion. It's not allways needed to project real-life problems into video games. In fact, it's better this way. Because in this lore, the relationshipp between two men i portrait as something (almost) normal and this should everywhere be the case. If their whole surrounding would have a problem with this, a gay relationship would be represented as something unwanted and something wrong. Instead they are accepted for the most part.

Also it's just bullshit that every gay-content in the media has the typical "gay"-topics attached. EVERY story revolving around a gay character is only about stuff like coming-out and bullying. Literally, all of them. And this implys that it's something unnormal and that gay people "should" be bullied and have to come out of the closet (radical spoken of course). The only way people start to take homosexual Relationships as normal is to present them as normal. And this means too, that there is a love story about two men, but without any hate or bullying. Just a normal romance that happens to be between two men instead of a guy and a gal.

And lore wise it kinda makes sense too, the whole honey-moon and the (almost) happy ending. Val and Kai aren't the ones who seek for Vengence, it's Varus. Val and Kai are portait as happyly-ever-after couple, because there has to be a contrast between them and Varus.

And let's be honest. Not all stories have to be full of Drama and Tragedy where everyone dies at the end. This is not Othello. I think, the danger of having Kai killed and freeing a vengefull Darkin to save him (and the whole country while they are at it) is Drama and "substance" enough.
