Cass fell first. Cass - god, Cass fell immediately. He fell the same way everyone seems to fall for Rod, who had that jovial, charismatic way of making you feel like you were the most interesting, important person in the world when his attention was on you.

They were young when they met. Classmates. And they should have been peers, at least at school, but there was always a divide. Not that it was ever spoken of - the closest they ever came to acknowledging it was Rod telling people they knew each other because "Our fathers do business together" and somehow the kindly meant half-truth makes Cass all the more aware of the gulph between their respective social stations than if Rod had stated plainly "his father works for mine"

But the initial blush of infatuation faded over time. Their friendship deepened, and Cass came to know the side of Rod that most people didn't get to see. His affection for Rod endured past the shine wearing off, but paired with other feelings. Frustration. Anger. Jealousy. Resentment. Obligation. Cass has never been sure if Rod is as genuinely obtuse as he puts on, or if he just feins obliviousness to get out of being required to acknowledge inconvenient truths.

Rod fell slowly. Truth be told, Rod couldn't even say when he fell. Cass, for many, many years, held no particular place in his heart. He was a game old boy, a solid chap, someone whose company was Rod always welcomed but rarely sought out (though, it should be noted that in order to seek Cass' company Rod would first need to experience his absence - a rarity in their school days especially)

The truth is that Cass' gradual disenchantment with his place in Rod's life occurred more or less simultaneously with Rod's slowly dawning realization of how essential Cass was to him.

Neither of them has ever once spoken honestly to the other about what they feel for one another.

Sigmund Freud: Unequivocally, yes.

Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates, after murmuring amongst themselves for a few moments: we have a few questions

Plato: Did you at any point express that naming him in your will was a manner of ensuring you would always provide for him?

Aristotle: Did you cycle through an endless parade of high profile but emotionally empty relationships with women to cement your reputation as a cad who was unwilling to settle down while he, subject to far less public scrutiny, seemed to always be romantically unattached?

Socrates: Did you sabotage his professional prospects to ensure that he was dependent on you for his very livelihood and would therefore always remain by your side?

Rutherford "Rod" Boddie: I'm afraid, my dear fellows, that the answer is "yes" to all three questions.

What other actor could POSSIBLY portray the simultaneous extremes of logistical competence and social obliviousness required to adopt a child he has no prior biological, social, or legal ties to based on nothing but his gut reaction to watching the boy's parents plummet to their deaths AND THEN believably portay the awkwardness of over-identifying with that child to the point of projecting his own maladaptive coping mechanisms for the loss his own parents onto that child while also not having the first clue about childcare, resulting in a genuine belief that it is a good idea to let a child (whose safety and wellbeing is now his responsibility) run around the city in a cape and mask fighting criminals in the night?
