newamsterdam IF YOU do slash, I would love him to fill the role of this guy's ex-boyfriend/BFF. short version: they were BFFs in HS, got together back in college for a few years, broke up for vague reasons, lost touch for five-ten years then reconnected when the BFF moved back to NYC. They realised they were better friends and have been friends ever since.
If you don't want to write him with that kind of history, I'd still LOVE to have someone close to Nolan's age in the game.
