Joe and Nicky meet like they do in the movie, but after that, Joe never sees Nicky again. Then he runs into Andy and Quyhn, who ask him if he knows Nicky because they keep having dreams of him
They explain that the Crusaders found out Nicky is immortal like them and that he was into men so they crucified him to make an example of him
+Joe sees Nicky being nailed to the cross as well as Andy and Quyhn; he's praying in Italian but since they don't know Italian, they don't realize he's praying for Joe to come save him despite having only seen him once
++By the time they find Nicky, he is hanging on the cross alone, as his batallion had moved on, and Joe is beside himself with worry because for days and nights on end all he's seen is Nicky's scared blue eyes and hearing his prayers whispered in his ear and he vows as he helps Nicky down that he will stay by this man despite their differences
+++They make camp and Joe helps clean Nicky up and kisses his injuries despite the healing
