#thinking about that sketch i made #of boxer joe #with cookbook editor nicky #who spends all his time trying out the recipes from the cookbooks he edits #bc while he loves cooking hes not so imaginative at it #but he has a great attention to detail and so he landed on this job #and we get an ER meetcute bc joe wholeass broke his nose (not the first time but concussions are Serious yall and it was just during an imp #and nicky sliced his hand open because his cat startled him while he was cooking #so theyre both in the ER with relatively minor injuries that just need to be cleared by a doc just to be safe #and joe's face is buried in an old shirt he keeps in his locker to quell the bleeding and even opening his eyes Hurts but he hears this man #and so he looks up and sees this adorable bookish man in desperate need of a haircut clutching his hand to his chest wrapped in a red check #and an apron that reads 'your opinion was not in the recipe' #speaking italian in a low confident voice that belied the sheer amount of blood soaking through the towel #then he sits heavily next to joe (whos still a little starstruck and thinking his concussion must be really bad if hes hallucinating beauti #and looks over with a tilt of his head like #'broken nose?' to which joe responds 'probably' then shifts and feels the bones move painfully and says 'definitely' instead #and nicky nods 'i can relate. i used to play football' #joe frowns thinking of this slight nerdy man as a linebacker then realises he meant soccer #and joe asks about his hand and nicky explains #and then they start having a whole convo until one or both gets called back #and joe (ever the overconfident asshole inside the ring but markedly more subdued outside) shyly asks nicky for his number #and nicky (who sat next to this man for a reason that wasn't ALL to do with the obscene bulge of his biceps and the peek of bare pecs in th #and down the line we get joe who plays up his aggression in the ring to make for a better show #getting so goddamn soft at the thought of his thoughtful boyfriend who brings him his homemade creations at the gym because hes worried joe #if anyone wants to actually write this please feel free #if i start another wip rn i swear my sanity will snap in two like a kit kat bar
