Don't let werewolf romance books fool you, blutbaden don't actually have any particular mating instincts. However, as Nick and Monroe discover after Juliette leaves and their friendship starts to get a little closer, it turns out grimms do.

im rewatching Grimm again and like,,,, nick and monroe have 100% explored each others bodies. just saying.

Nickroe where one of them has an abusive relationship in their past. Could be very recent, not long before they met or a good while back. Maybe the person turned back up out of the blue or they just stumble over old emotional baggage trying something new in bed. Could also be helping to heal the wounds shortly after the break-up/escape. Just think patience, tenderness and trying so hard to make the other person feel safe and loved.

It makes sense that Nick's hearing was the most boosted when he was blinded, but all of his other senses should've also increased. It seems to me that Monroe could help him test that with more than just playing fruit ninja in the woods.

Aunt Marie told Nick to trust his instincts, but she might not have done if she knew his instincts would tell him to not just trust but stick close to, protect and care for a blutbad. Grimms instinctively recognize potential mates they're strongly compatible with, often before their conscious minds catch up.

Nick tries to court Monroe the blutbad way, but the information in his books is outdated and not altogether accurate...

Monroe may be a wolf man, but it's Nick who howls in the night...

Monroe has never had anybody stand up for him the way Nick did at the Lowen games and all he wants to do wrap him up in blankets and coddle him. Monroe only got caught up in the games because he was helping Nick and no one should have to go through what he did, especially on Nick's behalf. All Nick wants to do is wrap him in blankets and coddle him. There's already been too much fighting tonight. Why can't that stubborn grimm/blutbad just sit still and let himself be cared for?
