any fandom, male character, he sort of expected that coming out as bi would be hard and that some people would react badly. What he doesn’t understand is why the girl he’d been dating and falling for is suddenly unwilling to see him and convinced he’d been leading her on (and she’s not even homophobic or anything!).
War and Peace, Anatole Kuragin (het and slash parings0, the only terms Anatole's society has for describing him are "promiscuous" when he's with women and "sodomite" when he's with men. So how's a bisexual homoromantic boy to deal in a world where those terms don't exist and won't for another ~couple hundred years?
War and Peace, Dolokhov/Anatole, "Gay" doesn't exist yet and liking someone the same gender is a sexual perversion. But Dolokhov can't deny the fact that he just doesn't like women but IS desperately in love with Anatole. As for Anatole...he's bi and completely unwilling/psychologically unable to deal with the fact that he returns his friend's feelings He'd rather focus on the fact that he likes women (too). Commence angst and the biggest mistake of Anatole's life (trying to run away with Natasha).
War and Peace, Nikolai Rostov (Nikolai/Sonya, Nikolai/Dolokhov, Nikolai/Alexander I, etc), Nikolai's passionate "platonic" infatuations/romantic friendships with other men never cross the line of "decency" but he can't help but notice that his feelings for men are so much stronger than for Sonya and that when he does have flashes of desire for her it's when she does something masculine (like the fake mustache she wore in that one scene in canon).
