#They HATE each other but grow to have a sort of fondness. Mondo sees him as another parental figure who's trying–

For The Daikaaki brainrot:

What about the trope idea where Takaaki tries to accept Mondo as no longer just his son's best friend (boyfriend), but as (mentally) his own child due to his relationship with Daiya?

I love that trope. I mean, Takaaki (in my eyes) doesn't like Mondo but he does respect him and what he does. He does think there's more to Mondo than meets the eye. He just knows Mon as the little shit he used to arrest numerous times (along with Daiya. But ofc he warmed up to Daiya xndbeb.)

He tries to find some ways to spend time with Mondo, he knows they definitely can't see eye to eye on things, but they both have people they love that are related to each other and all they want is them to be happy. Plus, they'd have to get along sometime in life.

He grows to accept Mondo as his in-law, slowly but surely. They still have their moments of hatred or just silly disdain, but they both accept the other as "You're dating my relative, you're a good person. You're alright."

Now all we need is Taka to accept the fact Daiya is dating his dad and he def can't get rid of him/j.
