To be honest I dont feel like Kou really loved Kaiya romantically in the first place. I mean consider how his uncle treats him, that and the fact that he doesnt seem to have any one else that really cares about him in this story. I think he just clung to Kaiya because he was the only person that he felt gave a damn about him. Like imprinting but with no real romantic-type love there.
Also I can't say I much cared for Kaiya. Typically with sadistic semes you see some degree of "caring" for their ukes but Kaiya didnt seem like he really cared whether he "had" Kou or not.
Even though we have access to his inner thoughts of what he wants from Kou and what he wants to do to him he never really acts on them. Like he never at any point chases after Kou or shows Kou that he in any way how much he "cares".
Now I get that Kaiya is a sadist and they arent exactly "gentle" or "kind" but I wish he would have shown some more possessiveness for Kou. It felt like he only wanted Kou to chase after him and if Kou didnt then he would have cut Kou off and never bothered with him again (which he almost did). It didn't really sync with his inner thoughts very well.
