    What? He too scared to fucking talk to me?

    He said you didn't want to talk him? What's wrong?

    Summary

    “You are three years old.” Armand murmurs, picking up the mug of coffee with both hands. "A child, Daniel. My child. To withstand the sun, you will need my strength.”

    “Your strength.” Daniel repeats, hoarsely, “You mean your blood.”

    Armand teaches Daniel to walk in the sun, and Daniel, over time, softens to him.

    Summary

    It felt like an ice-cold bucket of water was being splashed on Daniel as he realized just what the fuck Armand was trying to quietly imply. There were only the three of them in Dubai. If it wasn't Louis, then he meant…
    "You're not fucking serious. You? Love me? ME? I've heard a lot of bullshit cop outs in my day. Trust me, pal. I'm an expert at that shit, but you should know that you can't play a player," Daniel angrily answered.
    "Daniel, I do mean it, though. I swear to you. What all do I have to do to prove it to you?" Armand insisted.

    Armand slowly attempts to permanently earn his place in his fledgling's heart. An interpretation of the in-betweens of Daniel and Armand's developing relationship in IWTV/TVL.

    Summary

    "I want to be very honest with you, Mr. Molloy," she says. "I have worked with Mr. De Romanus for about six years now and… I…" She sighs, looking hesitant. "I don't want to disparage him or scare you off but Mr. De Romanus is very difficult to work with. He has a very specific way of doing things, he tends to become volatile and moody if things are not how he likes them. If… If you think that you cannot keep up or learn his way of things, then, well, I think maybe I should keep looking—"

    "I'm old," Daniel says. "But I'm a quick study. I don't want to prostrate myself but I do need this money."

    -- in which Armand de Romanus, an ambitious, young, and reputed to be difficult executive, hires the retired and cantankerous Daniel Molloy to be his personal assistant, after unknowingly spending a vulnerable evening with him in his New York penthouse. As Daniel navigates the chaos of Armand's demands, he quickly learns that the line between professional and personal can blur the more Armand surrenders control.
