Jeez, if you wrote this a half hour, I can but wonder what fantastic result you'd get with a free afternoon. But maybe that's the joy of flashfic, eh?
The fascinating thing to me is how intimate this seems, and yet how distracted Fraser actually is. He's there, but he's not. I don't mean he doesn't want to be there, but I don't really think he's paying attention to what Ray says until "I want to go with you." So perhaps the lie is not that he is lying to Ray, but that he's not:
"You getting what I'm saying?" "Not a bit of it, Ray." "You're lying to me, Fraser." "Yes, Ray."
