Top is indeed already in love with uke, he has been from the start the only reason he's not acting happy about it with uke is because of his trauma. Basically his mom was mistress to his dad and his dad after some time got bored of her. she tried everything to win back his attention including making his son and herself look and act as refined as possible, however father was simply uninterested. after some time if i recall correctly mother died or killed herself, watching his mom acting so desperate for a man's attention taught top one thing that - if you want to keep a man you love by your side for a long time you shouldn't show him just how much you actually love him.
that's why top is so reserved in his reactions to ukes actions like removing ring, having/not having boyfriend . he thinks that if uke notices his feelings he'll soon get bored of novelty and leave him...
