"You're more interesting than I am."

Daniel's just a black hole. Dragging in light, experiences, information. Answers to his questions. He was interested in Armand in Dubai, even when he was telling him to shut up. He was interested in Armand while he was being tortured, because every psychopath has a motive. He was interested in Armand even in the bar the evening before. A beautiful, strange man, a thousand miles out of Daniel's league, and his boyfriend was stepping out on him.

Why? How fucking nuts must that guy be, for Louis to be looking elsewhere?

Pretty fucking nuts, it turns out. Daniel combs his fingers through his hair. Selfish. Yeah, he can see that. He can see the way Armand rationalizes and makes excuses. But there isn't one for Daniel, is there.

"Something for yourself," he observes. Him, that's the something. "You said one hundred years, but then you missed my annoying ass, huh."

Also pleased with himself.
