I must say I agree. He didn't ful the son into a relationship, but before everything he told the truth after the kiss. And I also believe that he see him as a friend but he fell in love deeply with the Dad. It is so but to yearn for something that is next to you for years. And he didn't make the son loved him and then tell the truth so we can say "oh what a prick".

Unpopular opinion: I dunno if I lack morals or what but I honest love Daniel.
He's straight forward and tells it as it is and Logan while a bit silly knows what he signed up for after he came back to Dan so ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ besides while I get the feeling that Daniel may have seen Logan as a stepping after the drowning incident I believe he does consider him a friend. Ed looks more uke than top tho imo and Logan is a budding top/sadist. Too bad its PTR, would've loved to see how it ends but I'm broke af. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
