I'll disagree with you on that one. I think the relationship between David and Killian is just as Slow Burn, probably slower, than the Emma Killian relationship. But I think you do see signs of there being a real friendship between these two. For example, when Emma was trapped in the Ice, and Killians headstrong determination to get to Emma, I think that touched David, and at the end of the episode, when Emma went to Killian, he did not interfere.

I think the writers have worked on this relationship since Neverland. David and Killian were definitly at odds with each other at the beginning, but by the End of Neverland, after Killian saved David's life, I think the foundation had been laid to grow their development. and I think they have. Including all the awkwardness that should be there between a ladie's father and her boyfriend.
