Summary
Daniel and Armand reach a breaking point that one of them no longer remembers.
“I am sorry,” Armand leaned into placation. He always looked so young like that, wet-eyed and frustrated. You could almost forget what he was. “Daniel, I apologize, please let's forget I said—”
“No no no, let’s not ‘let’s forget,’ let’s dig in on this!” Daniel focused in on those big wet eyes, those beautiful liar’s eyes that always made him want to curl around Armand, burrow into him, eat away at him, destroy him from the inside and never leave again. What a hypocritical asshole.

“Your hair was brown?”
“‘Course my hair was brown! What other color should it be?”
“Well, white!” Vax laughed and, taking a whiskey-brave risk, mussed Percy’s bright white hair with his fingers. Percy seemed to be fine with it, judging by the way his eyes closed and he got that tiny half-smile, but then it fell.
