Why this must be read:

Because the story holds more than meets the eye at first.

After getting through the annual two weeks assessments, Bodie enjoys a quiet night at home. He and Doyle have drifted apart, both wanting different things from their relationship. One of them is in love, the other isn't.

Doyle comes over to Bodie's place they discuss the assessments and finally seem to want the same thing.

The ending threw me of balance, but it definitely suits the story.



Doyle came into sight, climbing the stairs with the easy grace that was his. Bodie's breath caught for a moment as he took in his partner's appearance: tight jeans encasing long legs, red t-shirt moulded to his body, brown leather jacket swinging open and dappled with raindrops.

***

Bodie settled back comfortably, feeling a contentment spreading through him that had nothing to do with the whisky. This was what he'd wanted for some time now, sitting with Doyle, talking like they used to, without tripping over conversational landmines. He didn't want to be careful with what he said anymore.

***
He'd wanted Doyle almost from the beginning--reaching for the man who was always just out of reach; watching as the jeans grew tighter and the t-shirts thinner. He'd allowed himself to be played with, and teased, because it was a game he couldn't do without--and the prize was worth having.

***
This was it. He thought of Doyle's face, eyes closed in passion as he thrust into Bodie. This was what they needed.

I'm new to reading this pair. I don't think I've ever seen the show, but I'm enjoying the stories very much.

Great job at creating convincing characters (since I haven't seen the show, that's a big compliment)! Thanks for the read. :D

I'm so glad you like the stories. It's always difficult when the characters are unknown to you, but it's a pleasure to know that you like the stories I've rec'd here. Thank you!

This piece of litterary work is perfectly written and very powerful. I wasn't disturbed by the ending because I felt it was sreaming for a sequel. I was simply surprised about which is the loving part in this story. I am watching the eps just now and they gave me the opposite impression.

I think you are referring to Bodie's protectiveness towards Doyle?
I agree with you there, but if you watch Klansmen it shows you a different kind of Doyle, and sometimes it's just the little things that show it, a look in the eyes, or a gesture.

Sometimes it's also the personal interpretation of a writer.

I'm glad you liked the story en enjoy the show!
