That was delightful! I think the best part of this whole ds_flashfiction thing is that I'm discovering so many dS writers I didn't know of before...
It's full of lovely images, like Ray frozen in a glacier of surprise, and Fraser's short nails digging into his palm -- but even so, my very favorite bit is:
"Yes, Ray." The damnable tremor in his voice made Ray look up. Fraser sucked in a breath, as though he were playing hide-and-seek and if he could just stay quiet enough, Ray wouldn't be able to find him.
But he'd never played hide-and-seek, either.
He saw a flicker of recognition in Ray's eyes, and braced for the onslaught of disgust and opprobrium.

But instead, Ray...moved closer.
Lovely!!!
