Yes, exactly. If Fraser wants it, if it feels good, then it is obviously wrong. Poor Fraser. Thank god he's got the fangirls to make sure that his life doesn't suck completely (well, except for Kat Allison, bless her). An excerpt from the longer version I am working on verily as we speak:
"You'll forgive me, Ray, if 'better than drinking snot' and 'preferable to being shot at' don't strike me as resounding endorsements. I appreciate your attempts to make me feel better, I really do. It's rather touching, actually, that our partnership means so much to you that you'd be willing to attempt to set aside your clear and historically established heterosexuality. But I don't see how engaging in what amounts to coerced sexual relations could do anything but damage our partnership and our friendship."
"*Coerced*?"
"While I certainly understand that one might undertake actions, perhaps even frequently, that one finds unpleasant to a certain degree in the name of principle without any feelings of resentment - I myself, for example, have a slight fear of heights which has never gone away despite the admittedly exceptional number of leaps I have executed from high places – I am old fashioned enough to feel that such pragmatism has no place in more intimate circumstances and furthermore, Ray, I have to confess that I find it marginally disquieting to imagine that you would believe that I would acquiesce to such a scheme."
"Wow," Ray said. "That might be the longest sentence ever spoken in one breath in the course of human history."
I am having so much fun writing their arguments about this!
And you're very welcome on the feedback. My pleasure. More than.
