    Summary

    "Did you just bite me?" He presses himself back into the pillows behind him, away from Nick, so he can look him in the eye. Nick, again, is smiling.

    "No," he lies.

    Summary

    Confused, Joe looks towards his husband to find him with his indescribable pale eyes already trained on him. The look on his face is as familiar as it is wonderful. Nicky’s jaw is a little slack, his cheeks blushed with an almost innocent tint, his eyes hold bottomless amazement. Joe's shoulders soften under the weight of the love on his gaze.

    “One of those days, huh?” he asks, tone light.

    Summary

    He counts Nicolò’s breaths in Arabic, and in Tamazight. Then he counts them in Sabir; he could not tell that story about his grandmother and the za’atar in Sabir, does not have the words for such things in the language of commerce, but he certainly has the words for quantities and prices. Then he counts Nicolò’s breaths in Greek, because that at least he can do in Greek, more or less, and it takes more concentration than the others, so he counts and counts and counts.
    Yusuf does not know how to count Nicolò’s breaths in Genoese. He wonders if Nicolò counted his breaths, when he was sleeping.
    _
    Another take on Yusuf and Nicolò, in Jerusalem back at the start of it all.
