Untitled Rating: PG Pairing: Fraser/Vecchio Spoilers: none, unless I missed one. Note: The moment in "Pizzas and Promises", when Ray is leaning on the hood of the Riv and makes just the briefest eye contact with Fraser, Frannie rattling on in the background.  Oh, yeah.  Another of the ANONYMOUS CHALLENGE fics from theCloset. Warnings and Disclaimers:  The usual - unowned but not unloved, yadda, yadda, yadda.  If they get dirty or overheated, I'll hose 'em off before I put 'em up.  Anything more than a friendly handshake is at your own risk, folks, just like real life. Feedback: yes, please.  Comments to mhhealey@iastate.edu *********************** Smile MHH A simple smile.  Gratitude, perhaps.  Mere thanks.  Understanding.  My mind stumbles a bit, shaken by the inadvertent scope of that uncomplicated word.  Ray smiled at me in understanding.  Complicity?  No, understanding did not extend so far.  Yet. I am content to wait.  More than that, I will be careful not to act any differently now that the strange pulse of my relationship with Ray has taken on a clear, inescapable form.  No accidental push of mine would overbalance us into haste.  Ray would reach the same conclusion.  In time.  In understanding. Every player has a part.  I await my cue.      Return to Archive
