imagine nicky and joe discovering theyâre no longer immortal through something very basic - like, joe just wakes up one day and knocks his head on a cupboard door and gets a bump on his forehead. only, it doesnât disappear immideately, so he rushes to tell nicky from where heâs shaving in the bathroom and nicky jumps when he hears the door burst open and nicks himself with the razor. only, the tiny cut does not close itself in a matter of seconds as it should.
and so theyâre staring at each other, eyes wide, their world as theyâve known it for 900+ years shuttered, but instead of freaking out joe just says softly
âwe can adopt a baby nowâ
FIC. I NEED A FIC RIGHT NOW.
i thought youâd never ask
(tw: blood, mentions of violence)
Itâs a normal, chilly morning the day it happens. Or, well, as much normal as a morning can be in the life of an immortal being. But Joe has witnessed mornings full of war and hunger, blood and mayhem, so he guesses that waking up next to his thousand-years-old husband, with no near threat to either of them, can be considered ânormalâ.
Nicky is still sleeping when Joe gets up to make breakfast. He does it quietly, as to not wake him up, god only knows Nicolò has earned some rest.
Theyâve been traveling through East Europe for the last three months, investigating and then successfully shutting off a human trafficking ring. Not the best three months of their lives, to say the least. Nicky wanted to have some peace and quiet after that, and Joe agreed, so thatâs why theyâre in one of their safe houses somewhere in the Bologna hills.
(Andy and Nile are still keeping busy, instead. Theyâre in London doing something concerning the environment, they didnât give him too many details. They promised theyâd contact them if their help was needed, but Joe isnât sure theyâll actually do it if it were to come to it. Theyâre both too proud and too stubborn, and theyâve seen Nicky slowly losing faith in the world in the last mission, and thatâs a rare sight. One that makes you wish peace for your friend. For your family.)
