Miracles Challenge - Next Year

[chesamus.livejournal.com]

403 words. A dialog only story about miracles, the kind I want to believe in.



“God, Frase, I don’t think I can stand it."

"Just a little more, Ray. I promise you it will be over soon."

"Not soon enough. It’s too much."

"But Ray, you want it so desperately."

"I know what I said, Frase, but it ain’t gonna happen."

"Of course it will, Ray. You must have faith--"

"You have faith, I don’t. It ain’t gonna happen!"

"Ray, you’ve been so courageous about everything else--"

"This ain’t everything else, it’s too big."

"Nonsense, Ray--"

"It’s too big! I’ve been here before and I’m telling you it’s too big!"

"Ray, you just need to relax."

"I can’t relax!"

"If you don’t relax, you’ll start hyperventilating. I would hate to interrupt the proceedings by sticking your head in a paper sack..."

"Don’t you dare - I’m just telling you it’s huge, okay?"

"So you want to stop, do something else?"

"No I don’t want to stop! Didn’t I tell you what this means to me? Didn’t I tell you I been waiting my whole life for this! "

"But we could--"

"No we can’t. There ain’t nothing else! God, Ben, there ain’t nothing!"

"Then you shall just have to relax, Ray. Come now, deep breaths. In, out, in, out."

"I’m breathing, I’m breathing. I just - I just, I can’t!"

"I shall have to resort to serious measures if you don’t calm down!"

"I can’t, It’s too much - too much!"

[smack!]

"Oh. My. God!"

"Yes, Ray, Yes!"

"Move, move, you bastard!"

"Language, Ray."

"Fuck language, move! Faster, faster!"

"Ray, Ray!"

"Come on, we’re almost there, almost there! Move!"

"Ray, this is amazing!"

"This is a fucking miracle - oh, God, it’s gonna happen, it’s gonna - Ben, Ben!"

"Ray! Ray! Ray! Ray! Ray!"

"Ahh, damn, Ben! [Sounds of quiet sobbing] A lifetime, Frase, a lifetime. And I can’t believe it finally happened."

"Oh, Ray, it was just - I can’t remember anything so - so wonderful."

"Yeah, Sorry I kinda freaked out there at the end, Frase. It’s just - well, you know how long I’ve waited, we’ve waited. I didn’t think it would ever happen. I hoped, I dreamed, but it’s just been so hard, and for it to be with you..."

"I can’t think of anyone I would rather have shared this with, Ray."

"Me either. And I think if we can get another pitcher, I’m thinking the Cubs can win the World Series again next year, too!"


Note: inspired by a comment from estrella about smiting the Yankees and the DH, and sort of a request from Carlacoupe for some hot monkey sex. I know this isn’t exactly what she had in mind, but I’m hoping it will hold her a bit until I can come up with some!

Well, my hearty guffaw at the ending didn't *quite* replace the request for hot monkey sex, but I'm willing to wait. This was a real hoot, hon!!!

It's just that it's baseball season, you know? And miracles always seem to go the other way for Cubs fans...

[pixiecatfish.livejournal.com]

HEE!

[chesamus.livejournal.com]

Yee Hah! Thanks!

[lynnmonster.livejournal.com]

Hysterical! (And coyly naughty! Woo hoo!)

[chesamus.livejournal.com]

I can do coy, and I'm learning naughty. Thank you.

ROFLMAO

[neci-ouida.livejournal.com]

Perfect! I loved this dialogue only fic. Seriously funny and naughty all in one sweet package. Like a happy meal. with a shake.

Re: ROFLMAO

[chesamus.livejournal.com]

But no apple pie? I'll have to work on that, then. Thanks!

[akite.livejournal.com]

Cheat, cheat! LOL

[chesamus.livejournal.com]

It was just too tempting to resist!

[mergatrude.livejournal.com]

Very funny and very clever. Although I admit that, not being up on my sports, I initially thought Fraser may have gotten Ray to try curling!!

[chesamus.livejournal.com]

Something kinky about that - you can read all sorts of innuendo into curling...

[chesamus.livejournal.com]

The only thing you need to know about my poor Cubs is that they have as much luck as any red shirt on TOS. It's enough to make grown men weep in the streets...

*giggle*

have to admit i was thinking about sex too...

[chesamus.livejournal.com]

You were supposed to be thinking about sex, but then I know I always think about sex anyway.

[estrella30.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEEEEE!!

I love this! (And anytime my Yankee bashing can lead to a fic is good for me *g*)

[chesamus.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm sure there are some people in NY who like them, but the rest of the country has much better things to do! Thanks for the inspiration!

[kassrachel.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

This was wonderful. You drew it out just long enough before finally letting us in on the joke. Whee!

[chesamus.livejournal.com]

Thanks 1 I wanted it to be a light "ha-ha" rather than a hammer-pounding "groan"

[jenboo.livejournal.com]

My oh my!! Oh, wait, that's the Mariners. *g* Love it. Just love this! I think Ray would faint dead away with about half of Chicago if the Cubs won the World Series. Great slight of hand...I mean word. *g*

[chesamus.livejournal.com]

I was trying to think of a way of getting a host of angels singing, but the Angels already got their miracle.

[princessgolux.livejournal.com]

*laughs my Head of* I thought Ray was in labor and Fraser tryd to help him/her thru the bird. At:

> "Then you shall just have to relax, Ray. Come now, deep breaths. In, out, in, out."

I was *almost* sure.
Awesome dialogfic you have written there. ^^
