Summary
The truth is, he doesn't really like who he is right now, how angry or sad he feels all the time, so he can't really expect Nini to like him either. She'd always had big dreams for the both of them while Ricky had only flippantly tagged along, but he could be doing something more and Nini had seen it.
In a weird way, being dumped by Nini Salazar-Roberts is the best thing that ever happened to him. Yeah, he still finds himself wishing he could kiss her, or even just see her, but it makes him realize what he really wants is to be the sort of person Nini Salazar-Roberts wouldn't leave behind in the first place.

or, a semi-canon/canon divergent universe where the first rini breakup happens after the show, and nini leaves to go to the YAC. ricky has a lot of time on his hands to reflect.
