He wants me.

I don't know why, but he does.

I mean, I can't figure it. If you could have anyone
you wanted - and believe me, Fraser could - why in the
hell would you choose a guy like me?

Not like I'm complainin' or anythin'. I've been gone
on him since day one. I was so scared though - that
he'd see it, that he wouldn't, that he'd leave me. I
was so busy being scared I never noticed.

It was hard askin' him if we were still partners. I
didn't wanna hear what he might say. But when he said
'if you'll have me', I knew it was gonna be okay, that
I could finally relax. If nothin' else, at least we
were a team. And I figured I could live with that.

But now, this adventure. It's only since we've been
out here, without all the distractions, without me
worryin' all the time that I finally saw it.

He wants me.

Now I ain't the world's brightest guy, but I know that 
look. When he fixes that blue stare on me...man, the 
hunger in it is so intense it makes my heart feel like
it's gonna explode. 'Bout knocked me on my ass the
first time I saw it. Thought I was losin' my mind. So
I watched. He's so careful of me, tries to hide it.
The more he tries, the clearer it is. The way he don't
just say my name, but carresses it. How he tries not
to touch me too much, but his hand stays too long when
he does. How he's always checkin' on me, makin' sure I'm ok.

He wants me. And it's killin' him.

See, it's like ice. The surface looks all solid, but
it's not always. Sometimes the pressure's been
buildin' and it's crackin' from underneath until all
of a sudden 'BAM'! It just breaks apart.

That's what'll happen to Fraser. If he don't get rid
of the pressure, he'll break right in half. But he
ain't gonna bring it up. Hell, if I was scared,
Fraser's petrified. I don't blame him, with his past.
That's why he won't say anythin' - he's afraid for the
both of us. He don't wanna let himself love me, 'cos
he thinks if he does, somethin' bad is gonna happen.
That he'll hurt me or I'll leave. 

So I gotta be the one. Gotta be the strong one and
tell him how I feel. Let him know that this is good,
this is right, that I'm not gonna go anywhere. Let him
know that the only thing that can hurt me now is
watchin' him break apart or walk away.
