"You're real. We are. It happened and we know now, and the rest— You'll find it."
Earnest. Daniel believes this. If they can shake loose 1973, then Louis can find anything, everything he's looking for— even if it just turns out to be that nothing is missing, and he gains proof of that, and peace of mind. Daniel rubs Louis' cheek with his thumb. (Thinks about the kiss pressed to him, searing the center of his palm. Thinks about dreams.)
"And I'm not going to ever let you go quiet. I'll always be around to annoy the shit out of you and make sure you're here, and not reading our book, and rolling your eyes at me from afar. Or this."
Whether it's shouting at him from the other side of the planet or tracking him down. Stuck with each other. Forged in stupid ideas and drugs and misery and this lifeline they've drawn. Louis who prevented Daniel from dying in the next crack house, Daniel who prevented Louis from losing his free will permanently.
