All of these wrapped up feelings, made more and more intense for sharing them. Daniel is clumsy with it still, but it's so earnest. In there is his white-knuckled insecurity, feeling it but trying not to dwell on it. Address and move on. That he senses no aversion from Louis doesn't mean Louis isn't just being polite, so he is also being polite, in offering an out.
And yet.
Tremors of uncertainty. Not just Louis' sensibilities to contend with. Daniel still thinks Jane Fonda is hot, but maybe he doesn't like himself very much. Maybe he hasn't in a long time. One thing to say you don't care about aging, it happens to everyone, and then watch yourself change out of your own control in the mirror. One thing to make peace with it because it'll all be over soon anyway, and then have nothing be over, indefinitely.
And then this, and— Danny, and Daniel is giving Louis' shoulder a hard, (still flat) bite. How very dare you.
"Start down the 'boy' path and I'm really turning the screws on you over shit you're into," is deliberate teasing in return.
Okok. He can do this. His boner, for sure, believes he can do this, and has no qualms about physical appearance. Get with the program.
