#and who’s better than investigative journalist Daniel Molloy who just happens to be as much of a freak as him?

One of the reasons why Daniel and Armand work so well together is that Armand really needs someone to see through his deceptions and call him out on his nonsense, and Daniel is just the perfect guy for that.

Like, Armand will come up with some lie to make himself look better or more in control, and Daniel will be like, "Be for real—you’re a little freak, and that’s why I love you." Eventually, Armand might learn that he doesn’t have to pretend with Daniel—that he can be loved just for who he is. That he doesn’t need to do anything to keep him.
