everything about them makes me so happy. the way they hold me close when i need comfort and tell me everything will be okay. the way they laugh at everything i say, no matter how stupid. the way they smile at me, and the way their smile makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over. the way they talk when their sleepy is so comforting. the way they gently hold my face before they kiss me. the way they snuggle closer to me when im feeling down. the way that theyll always hold my hand when im anxious, no matter whose around. the way they get flustered when i kiss them on the nose or cheek. the way they always make me laugh, even when in sad. the way we can talk about what we want for the future and be excited to experience life together. the way we always giggle when we talk about getting out of our small town with my dog and their cat and living as a little family in the city. the way they always encourage me to take care of myself, but never getting mad or disgusted at me when i cant. ive never felt so connected to someone the way i am to them. i cant wait for us to spend our lives together.

Day 6 - Bless this love that heals me
It didn’t occur to Daniel that Lestat would send word back of the news that Marius had been found. That all of them had been found and alive. It didn’t occur to him, because Lestat didn’t send the thought back to him.
Only later would Armand let him know of the word Lestat had sent back to him, the news along with Lestat’s love.
Word Armand had then shared with Benji and Sybelle, still in his apartment with him.
Benji shared the news more widely while Sybelle continued to share space and privacy with Armand. Daniel only knew about any of it when others in the blood began to join him on the terrace, filling as well the salons and the ballroom.
“What is it?” Daniel asked to no one in particular, feeling lost among the sudden swell of a growing crowd.
Somehow, Benji managed to make his way through that crowd and to Daniel’s side, that familiar fedora perched atop his head. No amount of any number of vampires telling him that a gentleman didn’t wear a hat inside had ever convinced him to remove it.
Daniel’s expression was still confused, though he’d heard Lestat’s name mentioned several times. Louis’ as well.
“He found them,” Benji told Daniel, eyes shining.
“He…” Daniel trailed off, barely daring to hope. It was a completely different thing, as it turned out, believing someone was still alive versus having the confirmation of it.
“Alive!” Benji spoke the word, and Daniel just about thought his heart was gonna give out. He clutched a hand to his chest, just in case. “Lestat’s bringing them home now.”
Daniel felt his heart lift from his chest in the direction of his throat in time with his sharp exhale. He didn’t have anything to say, just, sometimes still when he was surprised, he would gasp in a breath. Marius had told him the habit would probably die away by his first century in the blood.
Marius.
Daniel looked away from Benji and towards the night sky in the direction so many others on the terrace were staring. How did they know which direction they were coming back in? Had Lestat also given that information when he informed others he was about to return?
Then, there. Daniel saw a vertical shape in the sky, and another one next to it, and another. They were still too far for Daniel to make out any features, but nothing human and nothing else could be mistaken for a vampire utilising the Cloud Gift. Especially not several of them flying towards Auvergne in a pack.
Lestat was the first one Daniel could recognise the face of. Maybe he moved faster than the others – or the others simply let him lead in deference to their Prince. In his arms was Louis. Lestat was gazing forward, as though checking their direction, or the number of his adoring fans, but Louis only had eyes for Lestat as he looked up to his husband’s face. Reunited again.
Daniel’s eyes moved from them to the person he next made out to the right of Lestat. Gregory. He too was carrying someone, and that was the one his eyes begged to see.
Marius.
Daniel would have stepped forward automatically then, with nowhere to go but down to the grounds if he didn’t gather himself for the Cloud Gift soon enough. It was still unpredictable in its use. Thankfully, the stone barrier of the terrace stopped Daniel from moving forward more than a step.
But his heart beat towards Gregory and Marius, moving ever closer towards him and the Château. Marius was clear eyed, and Daniel knew the exact moment Marius caught sight of him there against the barrier, for he shifted himself straighter in Gregory’s hold.
He then shared a quick word with Gregory, and Daniel could see the older vampire shaking his head at whatever Marius had to say.
When he glanced Daniel’s way again, Daniel was overwhelmed by the extremity and the number of emotions that took him. Fear, which he hadn’t allowed himself to feel since Marius had been taken. It overflowed in him now, causing him to gasp at breaths and feel unsteady. Relief, because he was there, Marius was there, right in front of him, alive and alive! Panicked, because Armand wasn’t here, and Armand should have been here for the reunion of all of them. It was important, and Daniel knew it. Impatience, because he both wanted and needed to be in Marius’ arms right then and this seemed like the slowest he had ever seen vampires move with the Cloud Gift.
And then Gregory was setting Marius down on the terrace, the rest of the crowd having stepped back to accommodate them, Lestat and Louis, and all the others. Gabrielle was there too, Daniel noted passively, but it was a stretch for him to look at anyone other than Marius.
He looked exactly as he had the night he had left. The dark red velvet robe he’d been in the night he was taken remained the same, only perhaps slightly more dusty. Daniel flung himself at him, not even pausing to consider whether Marius would be strong enough to catch him after his ordeal.
Of course he caught him. Caught him and held him tight in his large arms, laughing softly into Daniel’s ear as they just held each other until Daniel was ready to be let go.

If I was making the FNF Soft mod...
Benjamin would be trying to escape his parents alone.
The romantic aspect of Benjamin and Pico's relationship wouldn't be explicitly stated.
I'd remove Pico from the speakers.
I'd remove the fact that Benjamin is traumatised. (the abuse aspect stays).
Benjamin just has anxiety, low confidence, and the fear of going back home.
Week 3 would consist of Pico teaching Benjamin how to be confident, with the songs being Starcrossed and two other Pico songs. (with a few romantic undertones here and there.)
Benjamin would end up living by himself. (and who knows, maybe with a certain orange haired guy later on....)
Week 6 would involve a therapy session with Senpai.
