KING LOVES HURRICANE.... A LOT. BUT ALSO, DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH HURRICANE. Because King talks about feelings as a sign of trust and the fastest way to make Hurricane clam up and shut off trust forever is................. talking about feelings. WEEMP WOMP
He's figured that out by now, at least, so he tries to avoid pressing Hurricane in any of those areas unless he finds it ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to do so (like the last team meeting). But it does mean he feels an emotional distance with Hurricane because that key area of bonding isn't there - it's how he got so close to Hiryuu/D.Va the way he did. And this far along he's kind of resigned himself to the fact that there may be no getting around that, and - has come to terms with it? It's fine as long as both he and Hurricane are comfortable and can be friends either way. It doesn't change how much he cares for Hurricane, and he was 100% not fucking around when he said he'd go to the Casino himself and murder Lilith if she kept him too long, but it does limit how much of himself he feels comfortable giving to Hurricane emotionally when he knows not to expect reciprocation.
So he just tries to stick with the silly/dumb stuff that he knows Hurricane likes, like plotting to bake a "thanks for not getting placed on another team" cake or doing a motorcycle race or what have you. And should really hit him up to do MORE of that stuff, and the only reason he doesn't is because a lot of the fun he has is when he's furious/upset and blowing off steam, which is when he least wants to subject Hurricane to himself, because see above: feelings.
Also from a morality standpoints he knows/fully believes Hurricane is a MUCH better person than him by every metric, and is very conscious of it any time they have to make hard choices. So while Hurricane's stances can sometimes lead to conflict/frustration, at his core King admires him for his ideals even if he knows he's picked the low road for himself. And respects him for it.
BUT HOW DOES HE MAKE YOU HAPPY AND COMFORTABLE, HURRICANE?!?! He doesn't know. Maybe he's not good enough to be the person to figure that out. Fishhands.
