Oh. Oh, this is lovely. You manage to give the reader that wonderful tight, breathless feeling right in the middle of the chest. Mmmmm.

I copied the same quote as the person above while I was reading it, because -- yes, yes, yes. The story is building slowly and quietly along, growing and growing, and this is the perfect point it's been building to; it's immensely satisfying.

"Fraser," he whispered, so close he could feel Fraser's breath against his cheek. "You can lie to me if you need to. If that's what you need."

Fraser opened his mouth, probably to say, Thank you, Ray. Ray interrupted him with a finger on his lips. He heard Fraser's sudden intake of breath.

"Or," he said, "you and me can lie to the whole goddamned world and tell the truth to each other."
