It's a het ship to YOU. To ME, they are both incredibly bisexual.

This happens if you send Rinoa with Selphie's team to the Galbadia Missile Base and, more specifically, she's in the third party member slot.
This is such a heart-wrenching scene. Seeing Rinoa think that Squall sent her to the Galbadia Missile Base because he hated her, right when she's starting to like him, is downright gut-wrenching.
But, that's precisely what makes Squall's relief (later on in Fisherman's Horizon) all the more heartwarming.
Especially since two of the three dialogue options he has with Rinoa afterwards make it clear that he does, in fact, care about her, long before their romance is in full bloom in Discs 3-4.
Here's the first dialogue option. He's oblivious to her feelings — which, if you think about it, is actually a stark contrast to how he's fully aware of how she feels about him (and how he's fully aware that everyone in the main party ships them together) outside of Galbadia Garden after he rescued her a second time.
Here's the second dialogue option. He's more straightforward, although he clearly hasn't come to terms with his own feelings yet. It does match with how worried he was about sending Selphie and her team to the Galbadia Missile Base, wondering if they were all right and if he was wrong to let them go, and wondering how her team felt about his party member choices. Personally, I think it's the best of the three options, in terms of progressing their relationship:
And, finally, here's the third dialogue option. He's not as straightforward here, compared to the second dialogue option, but notably, he stammers during his confession and even scratches his head. It's actually really adorable. He's acting like a nervous teenager talking to his crush — which is precisely what's happening here. It's also a good option in terms of progressing their relationship, and probably the more realistic one.
I swear, these two can be such dorks around each other in Disc 2, if the player chooses to let their relationship develop.
P.S. — I know that the pictures are from two different videos. Not a lot of walkthroughs on YouTube have Rinoa go with Selphie's team to the Galbadia Missile Base; most of them have her go with Squall's team to Balamb Garden.
Here are the two videos where I took these screenshots.
