the uncle was saying he wasn’t getting married because he was hiding that he was gay, while the kid was saying it because he liked his uncle the whole time. i don’t think the translation was very good because it was definitely seen as creepy when it’s not supposed to be, the uncle wasn’t thinking of him that way at the time, just as a sweet little kid trying to be like his uncle.
The translation may be off but I still didn't find the physical closeness of the two to be normal especially when we see them as a couple later But yeah I understand the kid as a romantic partner back then
he didn't see the kid as a romantic partner back then**
i definitely agree lol
latest chapter was so weird/creepy...He was still a kid there
