Jewel(le)ry challenge response

This challenge makes me think of Adorned, by resonant8. Just thought I'd mention that.

Anyway, here's a wee contribution to the jewelry (jewellery?) challenge.


Bracelet


The leather is a thin strip of reindeer, stronger than it appears. The bead is granite, the hole bored painstakingly and just barely big enough for the thong to penetrate; it doesn't slide.

Fraser is fairly certain Ray will like it. Has imagined tying it around Ray's wrist, wondered which hand Ray would proffer, hoped that Ray's pulse might flutter beneath his fingertips.

He knots it loosely and slides it on. Tonight he will present it to Ray -- warmed by his own heat, his own heart -- and hope, against all logic, that Ray will know what is offered.

Yeah, but then it would've threatened to grow into a whole short story, and I really just wanted to write a drabble. :-)

Glad you liked it!
