It feels more like a shonen ai to me but the difference is this; Shonen-ai's are typically lighter versions of yaoi. Where there might be implied sex but it never shows anything. Also, relationships in shonen-ai's are less sex-based.
In yaoi's however it has much more graphic sex among other things. Also features rape, molestations and other..."unpleasant" things.
For example Gravitation and Loveless are shonen ai's but Sensitive pornograph and Okane ga Nai are yaoi.

Thank You For Answering! I Thought I'd Never Get An Answer! Based On What You Said, I Love Shonen Ai But I'v Read Many Manga Classified As Yaoi That Was Light Too! So I Guess There Isn't Much Of A Difference! I KNew That There Was Hard Yaoi And Light Yaoi, But I Wasn't Clear On What Shonen Ai Was, So Thanx ^_^!
