Summary
"Hey," Joe says. "You okay?"
"Sure. Yeah." Nicky nods, his gaze is a little distant at first, but then he focuses on Joe. "Just surprised, that's all. Hell, it wouldn't be a wedding without some drama, right?" His grin is very 'Nicky,' but it doesn't quite reach his eyes. "Sadly, this drama probably won't involve blowjobs in a parking lot. Which isn't to say we can't do that for fun." He looks around the room, seeming to notice for the first time where Joe is sitting. He's trying so hard to sweep this all under the rug. "You know, the last time you were in that chair—"
"Nicky." Joe squeezes his shoulder. By now, he recognizes deflection in Nicky's tone, in his eyes. "Now we ask," he says and watches the false cheer drop from Nicky's face. "So I'm asking. Are you okay?"
For a long time, Nicky stares at the wall just past Joe's shoulder. He's still looking at it when Joe slides onto the bed next to him and takes his hand. There's no rush; he can wait.
