Honestly, I think their bonds are similar in nature.

Hinami saw him as a surrogate brother, and were together for the eight months or so of the series.

Saiko clearly sees him as a surrogate parent, and has similarly been with him for months. (She asks him to clean her ears, which in East Asian culture is something associated with intimacy. It's something a parent does for a child, or lovers do for each other.)
