Summary
Joe is one of those people, Nicky realizes, who seems to have unlocked the secret that beautiful people have: how to carry themselves, how to exude. Nicky doesn't dislike his own looks -- yes, during his teenage years he'd been self-conscious of his awkwardly big hands and his inescapable nose, especially whenever starting over in a new place -- but as he's grown into adulthood, it's all evened out into an appearance he's more or less satisfied with. But he's never mastered that next-level, head-turning attractiveness that Joe has.
Or: Five times Nicky thinks Joe is one of the most beautiful men to walk the earth, and one time Joe looks objectively awful and truly wins Nicky's heart.Bookmarked by grandfatherfrog (ohgoshidontknow)

Summary
The plan goes thusly: he will find the busiest inn in all of Cairo, and he will ask for a room, and when they inevitably only have one bed to spare, he will shrug and say it can’t be helped, and then he will have Nicolò all to himself, within four safe walls. He will say, “Nicolò, you are the stars that light up my night sky,” or perhaps, “Nicolò, finding you has been like finding safe haven to one lost at sea”, and most crucially, “Nicolò, may I please kiss you?”
The plan does not work.
(In which Joe cannot catch a break or get a goshdarn single room at Ye Olde Holiday Inne)

Summary
A dam bursts inside Nicky, and he is so swept away in the tide of his relief he admits everything. “I meant it,” he says. “Of course I meant it, I’ve fallen in love with you. Let me keep you. Let me stay with you. Marry me, Joe.”
“I thought I would spend my nights in darkness,” Joe tells him, and Nicky knows this about him, too, that he will not give a straight answer when a poem would do. “I thought I’d live on a pale shadow of what you’ve made me feel. But you – your smile could light up the darkest night, Nicolò. Your heart is so sweet, my love, you’ve captured mine so easily. I’ll stay with you for as long as you’ll have me.”
Nicky would blame the wine, he would blame the summer breeze, the beautiful view, temporary insanity, anything, but it would be a lie and he’s an honest man. If he’s drunk on anything, it’s Joe. If anything makes him shiver, it’s Joe. If there is any beautiful view, it’s Joe’s eyes, bright with tears and smiling at him. If he’s insane, it’s only love.
OR: The one where Joe and Nicky get married after knowing each other for two weeks.
