The people who ship Armand and Daniel in the show are basing it entirely on the books and the fact the showrunner said their relationship will happen at some point on screen. It's likely some of the looks Armand was giving Daniel throughout season 2 had deeper meaning but nothing from Daniel’s side had anything to do with longing, lust, reminiscence or affection. He literally only knows Armand as the asshole who tortured him lol
Feels like a lot of people are shipping it from the show but maybe im wrong.
