This is absolutely perfect. Nicely done!

Lovely! It's very IC, and the episodes fit neatly together - I like the bartender's reasonsing: “Oh trust me, honey. He’s your boyfriend whether you know it or not.” SO TRUE

And this:

They sleep in the same bed that night. Nick finds out that Monroe snores. Monroe finds out that Nick hogs the covers.

is just beautiful.

Poor Monroe has to find out from the bartender that Nick's his boyfriend. I can see that actually being the way it happens.

This was great. I love how the two of them fall into place as this progresses.

This bit was particularly striking:
A part of him wonders if this is it, everything his life has been reduced to: A dangerous hunt or two a month that leaves him with doctor’s bills he can’t afford to pay on his frozen salary and a dysfunctional personal life that has him sharing a bed with somebody who, by all accounts, he would never look at twice on the street. He doesn’t go out anymore, doesn’t even try to be friendly with his coworkers who all look at him like he’s carrying the plague, and, by all accounts, he’s the most miserable he’s been in his entire existence.
Poor Nick.

And this: Monroe leans in, brushes his mouth against Nick’s. It’s not really a kiss, not like the one in the kitchen, but Nick leans into it until he can’t breathe.
--lovely.
