Don't do anything with the subordinate. He went outside the chain of command. You'll get in more trouble if you initiate a conversation with him, especially since your manager gave you an unofficial heads up. You and the sub have a new normal now. Setup new boundaries and act accordingly.

Going forward, don't have a close relationship with your subordinates.

Oh yea, and people are crazy. Who knows why they do what they do.

^All of this. Your boss has given you instructions on how to handle this. They're sound. Follow them.

The POS will eventually realize he's messed up and will move on. Good riddance.
