Summary
“We are bound by our immortality. Our situation forced us together. If things were any different, would you still…”
Joe blinks big brown eyes at him. “Still?”
“Choose me?” Nicky finishes lamely. He feels silly for asking, in a way he hasn’t felt around Joe in a long time. Beyond that though, he really does want to know what Joe thinks about this, realizing distantly that this may be a bit of an insecurity he’s been harbouring unconsciously for a while.
Or: The dimension-hopping AU wherein the universes conspire to show Nicky that in every life, in every world, he and Joe would always find and choose and love each other.

Summary
“You have a lovely mole,” Yusuf said. Nicolò didn’t catch his last word. He looked at him questioningly.
Yusuf tapped on his mole gently as he rinsed his blade. “Mole,” he repeated in Arabic.
“Mole,” said Nicolò in Zeneize. Then he tried to imitate the Arabic word.
Yusuf smiled at his effort. His dimples were showing. It felt like a discovery every time Nicolò saw them.
Nicolò didn’t know what possessed him when he reached out to touch that spot and said, “Dimple.” in Zeneize.
“Dimple,” repeated Yusuf and of course he did perfect the first time. He said the word back in Arabic. Nicolò tried to repeat it. By the way Yusuf smiled, it looked like he did a passable job.
Then it’s all over too quickly. Yusuf scooped some water and rinsed Nicolò’s face, then used his own shirt to dab it. “All done,” he said.
Then their eyes locked and something else, something that in hindsight felt inevitable, shifted.
