Gonna be so genuine.. this was a short read, but other than the fact he got excited for being called mom, everything else was fine? He wasn't attracted to the kid, he was attracted by the thought of being a supposed 'spouse' to his unrequited crush.
He never saw the son as a potential love interest, but a kid that he wished he had with his friend. Everything dawned on him when he got aroused, that what did was unhealthy and wrong. He didn't want to ruin his friend's family anymore, so he left.
Even after reuniting with the ml, he tried to be the same uncle he was before, but seeing how the ml was trying to seduce him, he went with the 'indifference' method. Which you don't see very often in these types of bl tropes.
I think what I liked about the story is the ending. The convo with his friend is SO good actually. The dad rejected his friend after finding out his feelings and the guy finally had the weights off his shoulders. Even then, he decided to leave them again. But ml still pursues him on his own volition.
(It was freakin weird tho that he just let the guy he babysitted since he was a kid to just...idk kiss him. But then again, he was already a college student so.. I guess they were both consenting adults?? He also wasn't aroused and dind't want to be until the ml used his kink as a weapon. Idk man)
Idk where all the incest and or grooming came from tho cus there wasn't any of that??
