We see Ocelot light Big Boss's cigar and acting nice, and later telling Miller how he's supporting the real Boss. There's also what he says during Quiet's torture scene, where he implies he was in love with the legend of Big Boss. Snake Eater only showed a friendly rivalry between the two. Too bad we never saw their bromance blossom. That happens long before MGSV. In MGS3 even though there seems to be a rivalry between the two, at the end we learn, that Ocelot was in fact Snake's contact person ADAM, but couldn't let Snake know, without blowing his own cover to the fake EVA.

Also throughout the entire game he becomes quite a fan of Snake, trying to stick to everything Snake teaches him (e.g. using revolvers) and be as much like him as possible (learning CQC). Ocelot was still quite an arrogant rebel back then, since he was only a teenager, but Big Boss was by all means his idol from the moment he got beaten up by him the first time. Yea that's pretty much what happened in MGS3 through MGSV, but all I got from the story is that Ocelot is idolizing Big Boss, not falling in a bromance relationship with him whatsoever (althought he is known to have kissed Solid Snake in the cheek when fighting atop Outer Haven). Ocelot never treated Big Boss as a friend in Snake Eater. They had a friendly rivalry, they fought with each other, but they were not best buddies. Ocelot came close to shooting BB unarmed. That aspect of their relationship is missing from MGSV. It's can't be because Ocelot grew up. He acted the same in MGS1-2 as he did in MGS3, but with less meowing.

There's a friendship that developed there between MGS3 and MGSV that we never got to see. What's more, Ocelot says he WAS in love with the legend. Which implies he no longer loves or idolizes Big Boss.
