Joe and Nicky have been together for a number of years before they meet Andy and Quynh. Joe thinks Nicky has worked through his religious guilt and homophobia, but when they finally meet Quynh and Andy, Nicky starts pulling away from Joe. He prays more, becomes more devout, and spends more time with the women while avoiding Joe.
None of them can figure out why, until they realize Nicky thinks two immortal men + two immortal women is God's way of saying that Nicky is meant to be paired with Andy or Quynh, not with Joe. He thinks he misinterpreted God's plan for his soulmate, and feels punished.
Bonus points for:
- Nicky oscillates between being distant with Joe and avoiding sex, to desperately initiating sex and wanting Joe closer, closer, closer. - Nicky being jealous whenever Joe spends time with Andy or Quynh, or upset that Joe is happy about finding the women. - Nicky struggling to do the right thing (I want him to get along with Andy/Quynh, not hate them. Maybe just resigned to them). - Joe being extra gentle and kind while he tries to understand what is going on with Nicky, but also extremely hurt when Nicky rebukes him (or even breaks up with him). Idk what Joe is thinking, but lots of miscommunication angst. - Extra EXTRA bonus points for Nicky giving Joe a blowjob (which he's struggled with in the past, as oral sex was considered the greatest sin in early Italian culture). Basically Nicky trying to show how much he loves Joe, and trying to break the Religious Rules.
