 The afternoon sunshine fans out over Ray's body as he lays, sound asleep,
in the hammock. Ben contemplates his features, sitting in a nearby chair.
Ray looks angelic when he sleeps (a thought that would get Ben smacked
were he to voice it to Ray) and the beams of sunlight dancing over his
sprawled limbs elevates him, in Ben's opinion, to godlike beauty. 

 The sun glints off Ray's ring, a dazzling flash that reminds him of the
vows that they had exchanged, just three days ago. And now, he and Ray
were enjoying two weeks at a private resort in Fiji before they headed to
Inuvik and Ben's new post. The trip had come courtesy of Inspector
Thatcher, much to Ben's surprise and Ray's happiness. Ray had been so
happy in fact that Ben had begun to worry that he would change his mind
about going north. But Ray sensing that had been quick to reassure him.
"Don't get me wrong Ben. I'm excited about Inuvik but it'll be nice to go
someplace warm and sunny beforehand." Ben was struck by just how much he
loved this man. Ray could always sense what he was feeling. He had been
going to say something to that effect to Ray but before he could Ray came
out with a remark that made Ben think of something else entirely. "And
just think, it'll be so warm we might have to take off all our clothes
just to stay cool." After that remark, Ben had no choice but to tackle
him, which led to a very pleasant afternoon on the loveseat.

 Ben would have continued to ponder on this, but for a voice that roused
him form his thoughts.

 "Ben you're thinking too much. C'mere and cuddle." Ray grumbles sleepily.

 So he crawls in the hammock and arranges himself around Ray, who purrs in
contentment and snuggles closer. Just before Ben falls asleep, he concedes
to himself that although he does prefer the Northern lights, the warm
sunlight of Fiji isn't too bad. Especially reflecting off Ray.
