imagine nicky and joe discovering they’re 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 doesn’t disappear immideately, so he rushes to tell nicky from where he’s 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 they’re staring at each other, eyes wide, their world as they’ve known it for 900+ years shuttered, but instead of freaking out joe just says softly
“we can adopt a baby now”
FIC. I NEED A FIC RIGHT NOW.
i thought you’d never ask
(tw: blood, mentions of violence)
It’s 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 “normal”.
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.
They’ve 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 that’s why they’re in one of their safe houses somewhere in the Bologna hills.
(Andy and Nile are still keeping busy, instead. They’re in London doing something concerning the environment, they didn’t give him too many details. They promised they’d contact them if their help was needed, but Joe isn’t sure they’ll actually do it if it were to come to it. They’re both too proud and too stubborn, and they’ve seen Nicky slowly losing faith in the world in the last mission, and that’s a rare sight. One that makes you wish peace for your friend. For your family.)
