Danny REALLY wants Vlad so he proposes a sugar daddy situation to him thinking Vlad would eat it up. Only that… Vlad, well, Vlad thinks Danny wants to pretend to be his son in order to have access to a gold credit card. Because it’s IMPOSSIBLE his little badger is actually asking for that kind of sugar daddy. Young Daniel must be confused!
So he goes along with it. And Danny is aware that Vlad thinks he’s really that dumb. So he tries to make it work. Tries to call him daddy and is asked to refer to him as father instead. Okay. He can make it work. Sit in his lap at dinner. Insist they sleep in the same bed. Kiss goodnight (although Danny has to persuade Vlad that lip kisses are very normal
Whatever it takes to make the fruitloop realize that he wants him.
