    Summary

    Outside, Tokyo’s early evening traffic thrums with urgency beneath heavy rain, and he knows if he trained his ear, he’d hear the city alive regardless with chatter and music. If he trained his nose, he’d smell the thickening, humid weather, the bay, the heady smells of gyoza and Takoyaki and tempura, cooking in spitting oil, but he doesn’t. No, what he does is keep looking at Lestat and thinking – not for the first time – that this has been a mistake. Thinks he has stayed too long here in Japan, even if it’s been just shy of two weeks.

    -

    It's been 18 months since they reunited, Lestat's on the cusp of fame, Louis' trying to be companion enough for himself, they're both a mess, but they both still want each other all the same.

    Summary

    Louis looks up from his newspaper at that, his beautiful green eyes passing over his form as though just noticing he was dressed in something other than his smoking robe. Once, Louis could scarcely keep his hands off a Lestat dressed in proper 20th century attire for a night on the town, and he remembers that many a plan had been postponed or outright forgotten for more carnal, intimate endeavors.

    “So if my considerable considerables continue to be squandered…”

    Lestat pauses a moment, expectant, but after a beat, Louis turns his remorseless gaze back to his research. Lestat feels the scowl tighten his face before he’s fully aware of it himself, takes up his jacket again, and crosses their loveless bedroom to meet his loveless lover down below.

    “Wait.”

    or: Lestat and Louis find common ground in episode 1x05 after all.

    Summary

    “Do you feel it now?” Louis asks. “Have you felt hopeless since that stormy night, in your shack?”

    “Quite the contrary,” Lestat admits quietly. “But then again, I have a tendency to feel a spark of hope when you show up in my life.”

    Or: The phone call that Louis has been waiting for (re)opens the door to something deeper.

    Summary

    “That’s the thing, Louis.” Lestat offers him a small smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes. “I finally understand why you couldn’t love me back. It wasn’t easy to accept, but it’s time for me to be selfless and do the right thing.”

    Louis can't stand the silence that follows. “What's the right thing to do, Lestat?”

    “It’s time for me to let you go.”

    Or: Lestat decides that it's time to part ways. Louis has a problem with that.
