“I went deeper and deeper in with Lestat’s remains, though why, I did not know. And finally, when I could barely see the pale space of the road and the sky which was coming dangerously close to dawn, I let his body slip down out of my arms into the water. I stood there shaken, looking at the amorphous form of the white sheet beneath the slimy surface. The numbness which had protected me since the carriage left the Rue Royale threatened to lift and leave me flayed suddenly, staring, thinking: This is Lestat. This is all of transformation and mystery, dead, gone into eternal darkness. I felt a pull suddenly, as if some force were urging me to go down with him, to descend into the dark water and never come back. It was so distinct and so strong that it made the articulation of voices seem only a murmur by comparison. It spoke without language, saying, ’You know what you must do. Come down into the darkness. Let it all go away.’”

Louis de Pointe du Lac - Interview With The Vampire [Anne Rice - 1976]
"The rage in me grew stronger, ever more dangerous. Was Louis somewhere near in these very streets? I clenched my fists, struggling against this rage, struggling against its helpless and inevitable expression.
Marius, you turned your back on me. That came as no surprise, really. You were always the teacher, the parent, the high priest. I don’t despise you for it. But Louis! My Louis, I could never deny you anything, and you turned me away!"

"`Now listen to me, Louis,’ he said, and he lay down beside me now on the steps, his movement so graceful and so personal that at once it made me think of a lover. I recoiled. But he put his right arm around me and pulled me close to his chest. Never had I been this close to him before, and in the dim light I could see the magnificent radiance of his eye and the unnatural mask of his skin."

You know, I’m not used to have a non-canon pairing.
My first real OTP was Lestat/Louis from Vampire Chronicles, what is totally canon (I’m not kidding. Everyone is bisexual or gay in Vampire Chronicles. In the first book, in the first night where Louis became a vampire, they slept (just slept, but come on!) together in the same coffin).
After this, I had my obsession with Velvet Goldmine, and my master OTP, Curt/Brian, what is massively canon, too. Lord, they kiss for a freakin entire minute in the movie. What a kiss, lord.
And then, I started to watch Queer as Folk; EVERYTHING is gay and nothing hurts.
So, I fell in love with Star Trek, and for fuck’s sake, nothing will ever convince me that Spock/Kirk is not canon. Even Gene Roddenberry (the creator of Star Trek) made a new word just to describe the relationship K/S.
But well, don’t matter; I love all my OTPs, and all my fanon OTPs are canon in my head.
