Silence, by Girl Clone

(I haven't yet read any of the others, I hope I haven't accidently copied someone's idea or anything).


I've often wondered just what would happen if I just went ahead and told him. Would he kick me in the head? Would he laugh? Would he tell me “Thanks, but no thanks. When I said I'd try anything, I didn't mean that.” Would he smile that brilliant smile and say “Me too.”

I've spent so much time wondering what would happen if I told him, that I hadn't considered what would happen if I didn't tell him.

“Frase”, he says fidgeting, “I kinda have feelings for someone”.

And for the first time in my life I just cannot speak.

This is beautiful! Fraser's fear, his blind spot, the way you counterpoint the way he talks without saying anything with his silence here. Lovely.
