there have been prompts about members of the old guards' body parts growing back differently after a major injury, so say nicky gets a sword or grenade to the face or something along those lines and he revives and heals just fine, except his nose! its now smaller and straight, just your very average nose.
this shouldn't be a big deal but to joe it's DEVASTATING. perhaps before this incident he had complained about nicky's nose being too big, getting in the way of their kisses or something silly like that. but now that its gone his nicolo's perfect face is changed forever! many emotions to be had over this. maybe joe cries over an old side profile portrait he has of nicky - truly a "you don't know what you got til it's gone" situation.
but of course another similar face-related injury results in this strange error correcting itself and nicky's nose is back to normal. in the aftermath joe refuses to hear any slight against it, joking or otherwise. it features heavily in his sketches, maybe he even writes a poem about it. and for the rest of time joe absolutely savours the nose smush when they kiss or when he gets nuzzled by it in bed.
joe/nicky, nicky loses his nose!
