Can I keep you? means to protect someone and have them protect you, it's when you've had nothing else to depend on and are longing for a companion. A quote made famous by the movie Casper (1995)

Usually in fandom. When a fan likes a character or actor/celebrity, they might say "Can I keep him?" implying that they wish they could take him home. Not necessarily sexual, but can be. Keep like a pet because he's cute.
