#just to live in that aura of love together
a little detail i love about nicky and joe’s relationship is the amount of time they’re not glued to each other’s sides, the times when they’re sitting at opposite ends of the table or in different parts of the car, because they don’t NEED to be at each other’s sides all the time. they’ve been together for 900 years, they are INCREDIBLY secure in their relationship. it would’ve been really easy to make the mistake of having them be Super Affectionate All The Time to indicate how deeply in love they are, but they’re clearly past needing that, with the obvious exception being when they’re first captured and very frightened. the rest of the time it’s just a little wink, a forehead tap, banter full of private jokes, which conveys the depth of their love so much better because it all clearly says “i’ve been here for 900 years, you and i both know i’m not going anywhere”
