He loves him, but the thing is, he didn’t consider him as a potential partner so Wako’s confession is that push that he needed. At least that’s how I see it, cuz seriously could you date a friend who suddenly confessed to you just to see if it will work out? U gotta be attracted to them at some point before you accept it like immediately. So yeah I believe he loves him just as much.
