Early days Joe and Nicky have started traveling together, they respect each other and like each other and they're not sure if there's more there yet but they both want there to be. Cue dozens of unfortunate situations of mutual pining and intense frustration, such as
- oh no, Nicky has been tied up by bandits, Joe has to kneel down in front of him to undo the ropes and Nicky has to pretend Joe looking up at him from down there isn't Doing Things to him
- Nicky wants to know more about Joe's culture and Joe ends up reciting romantic poetry Nicky doesn't even understand thinking about how much it applies to their situation
- bathing together and being torn between respecting each other's privacy and haha-we're-just-guys-being-dudes-who-cares-who-sees-who-naked except they really, really, really care
followed ideally by an explosive release of tension
