Is Giles' relationship with Sundrop creepy because he's really an older man not a boy?

Is Sundrop also a child in mind? Do they have this sort of relationship? I got the impression that it's rather harmless PG-13 hippie stuff like trading flowers, singing kum-ba-yah and smoking pot. 
(figuratively speaking)
I don't really remember all details of his arc, though, because it's so, to put it kindly, "fleeting" in S10.
When he made the moves on Olivia while in his child body, that was creepy (luckily for Olivia too).
But well, even if it's this sort of relationship, it's not "creepier" than Willow doing the nasty with a snake or Buffy boinking dead corpses. It's not the first time that they took controversial subjects like rape, bestiality, necrophilia, even pedophilia and many others, then twisted it into something relatively "normal" or for comic relief and called it metaphors.
I think it's no big deal compared to all this other stuff.

And I guess I'll stand by you fighting for necrophilia. Wow, that looks so much weirder written down than it sounded in my head.I agree with everything else you said, but I'll defend Willuwyn till my death.

And I thought to put the word creepier into quotation marks sufficed to make it clear that I was being ironic and don't think it's bad, just like Giles hanging out with Sundrop isn't bad.
Aluwyn surely had "advantages" which were "appreciated" by Willow and vamps don't need to breathe...

@DoktorRock what's life with out a bit of "creepy"? Probably a whole lot less interesting.

Given that Giles has now moved on to Roux (apparently) did he break up with Sundrop sometimes in S11? I have no clue and was wondering if anyone remembered.
