#louis couldn't deny the adoration even as he tried to relay the story with hindsight

ty for the timelines!!!!

they're so lovely 😭 the chats, shopping dates, opera dates, and walking around at nights. even with his tightly shut closet and some whispering about them, louis really always chose lestat's companionship.

"He was in love with my city" "Paul says it to my face but I know my mother and sister think it." (not verbatim) oh louis... be loves lestat sm 🥹

lestat is really the gentleman doing all the courting step by step. you're so right about him nit wanting to fuck it up because? the scene with his family tells you everything. he plays nice with mama dulac and can probably hear her thoughts. he is worried about causing offense to them when they leave. got all dressed up to meet the family. oh 🥹🥹

I don't know why people assume lestat's 'I love you' at the altar is rushed? they've been unofficially dating for a while at that point, had a very intimate encounter that louis describes as awakening deep feelings. they took their time with the fall, I'd say.
