Are friendships ever an obvious journey to begin with? :P But no, if you're worried about it being OOC, just look over things from a broader perspective. What kind of interactions has he had with other men, and is what Zelos defining as a "friend" in the Lloyd category or just something else entirely? Is he struggling? Is it for appearances? Does he need to be a little more flippant about things simply because of the new reality of having male acquaintances?
I'm rusty on Symphonia canon so I can't really offer a "HERE GO FIX THIS" line of thought or whatever. Just, if you're worried, dig around a little. Zelos is a complex character anyways, and just coming from one of those male CR peeps, he's still pretty aloof and avoidant and awkward sometimes. So it's not like he's suddenly attached to the hip with other men (I'd be really concerned about OOC matters in that case).
IDK, give yourself a little more credit, and do some fine-tuning if it really does bother you. Make it an exercise in exploring Zelos more, rather than "FUCK I'M DOING IT WRONG". :)
