Whose Bed? by Darby Brennan (PG)
Fandom: The Professionals

Why this must be read:
Because Darby Brennan manages to create a Bodie and Doyle who, despite their toughness, still are real human beings who suffer and have emotions and feelings that can be hurt.
This story, I'm very proud to say, was written for me, but even if it hadn't been, I would still have chosen this one, because it is a strong, vibrant story.
A Doyle, who is in love with Bodie and finally explodes as Bodie tells him of yet another soon to be one night stand. He runs out on Bodie, who's is thrown by Doyle's behaviour and decides to have it out with him.
It goes from bad to worse, they argue and Doyle throws Bodie out of his flat.
A jealous Doyle, a bewildered Bodie and a very determined neighbour, who could have been Cowley's mum, make for a great story.
"Just some bird?" Ray echoed, his mouth sprinting into action before his brain could stop it. "Just some bird? Is that all she is? Some bird? Doesn't she even have a name?"
***
Putting his feet up on the desk, Bodie pondered the electric golly's behaviour. His partner had turned forty less than a month ago, could it be that he was finally thinking about settling down and getting married? Bodie could hardly credit it, after all, his partner wasn't dating anyone, not seriously - at least not that Bodie knew of. But what if . . .
***
He took a step closer to Ray, deliberately accentuating the inch-and-a-half height difference, which given that Ray was shoeless and Bodie in his heeled boots, was now more like three-and-a-half inches. He loomed over Ray and stared down at him, the look one of utter contempt mingling with disbelief.
***
In the shadowed corner Bodie also waited, holding his breath and attempting to merge into the walls. No matter how upset Ray was, no matter how angry or in pain he was, Bodie knew that his partner would not leave his elderly neighbour standing at his door.
