Work Text:

Rico stands at the altar next to Sonny, the place of honor as his best man, watching Sonny marry a woman he’s known for all of a week.
He forces himself to smile as he meets his partner’s eyes, summoning the part of him that wishes for nothing but happiness for the man he…the man he loves.
Rico knows it could never be, knows it’s impossible, but the thought enters unbidden anyway; in another world, or a kinder future, where love is enough and is honored in all its forms, things could be so very different: it could be him.
