Everything you've said tells me the darker one is the alpha or leader of that pack. So far, he's been nothing but friendly, though I would make him get off you if he "hugs" you again, just to remind him that you are the boss when you interact with the dogs.
He's trying to say you are welcome in his pack, and the white one, as he should, follows the darker one's lead. They see you as a part of their pack or family. That's good, just make them stay with all fours on the ground, not only does it insure they can't knock you over and remind them you re the boss, it's bad manners for a dog to "hug" people and, doing so could get them in trouble with their owner.
If you ever decide to bring them a toy or treat, make sure you give it to the darker one first. He's the Alpha of the two and, by dog rules, he gets the good things first. He would take it away form the white one if he didn't get his share or get to hold the toy first. And do keep petting him first, thier rules say he has to accept you before the white one can.
