#im a devils minion lover till the end but louis and daniel...you know?

[my-tatteredwingsof-freedom]

I know that probably wasn't the intention of the scene, and it was never in the books from what I can remember, but there was something in the way Daniel's entire face changed when Louis asked, "Do you want to now?" Daniel is a man who has been through marriages and divorces, who knows the pain of loving and never being enough, of ruining things and accepting being alone. He's an old man, as he says several times. He's an old man and he's comfortable alone and he doesn't expect anyone to want him like that at this point in his life...but then Louis makes the offer and Daniel's face changes. The face of an old man that is suddenly faced with the fact that he can be wanted. He can be desired. He can still have sex with this gorgeous vampire like he thought he did all these years ago and I think for a second, it scares him to know that there's still so much life he can live.

Again, I know that most likely wasn't the intention of the scene but Daniel, especially in the show, is so dear to me that I couldn't help but wonder if there was something to the way his face changed like that.
