The same anon here. I think when Nicky comes back to Germany, Erik would stay with his parents so they can have some time to get to know eachother again. If Nicky was really struggling to adjust he would get Andrew and Aaron to help him. It would take time, i think they would get married a bit later so they aren't rushing.
hello, anon, sorry this is a bit late! (previous post)
i think erik staying with his parents for a bit when nicky moves back could be a good idea, since it would mean they could go on a few dates and so before moving in with each other. on the other hand, they are kind of living together already? it’s erik’s apartment and nicky has left the us to live there because of erik. i also think nicky would be lonely living among all of erik’s things and knowing he could have erik right there, always, like he’s dreamt about for 6 years. maybe it only lasts a day lol
i could definitely see nicky getting cold feet/feeling regret just after having moved to germany and the twins having to step in to assuage him. when nicky works himself up about being so far from the twins or how life with erik isn’t exactly like his fantasies, i think the twins could help bring him back to earth. but i’d also like nicky to become more independent from the twins as time goes on
and i don’t know if you’ve read the ec, but nora headcanons them as marrying quite late iirc! i think it fits them well, and i wonder if they wait until 2017, when same-sex marriage was legalised in germany. i think they’d both like for it to be a marriage, and not a registered partnership
