One of those 'yeah whatever' death scenarios, for Daniel. A car crash could also kill a mortal. He should be compassionately euthanized by now, and this is borrowed time. Free years. The mindless fun afterparty. He doesn't give a fuck about dying.
(... Doesn't he? Sometimes he thinks about how long Armand waited to make a fledgling. Maybe he would just compartmentalize Daniel's demise away like he has everything else, if there was even very much to compartmentalize. But maybe it would be bad. Bad enough that Daniel wouldn't want to risk it.)
A smile, then. He knew Armand would accept, but it still feels nice.
"Deal."
He doesn't lean in, but shifts just slightly, like he might be about to. Like he might be considering closing the gap of space between them and stealing a kiss. He doesn't. A tease, or indecision? The world will never know. He slides a hand onto Armand's knee instead.
