Why this must be read: this was [livejournal.com profile] wihluta's entry to last year's ds_match and it's a lovely story. It's delicate and sweet and a wonderful look at Fraser and Ray as their relationship develops and evolves. So many truthful moments in their life together.

It's a also a great view of their relationship through the eyes of the other characters and that is something unique and fascinating.


The first time Ray kissed Fraser, it snowed.

They were sitting in Ray's apartment, and flakes of snow drifted in through the open window. Fraser could smell the snow, falling from the sky outside and melting on the window ledge, the smell of winter. But the delightful scent of Ray was stronger.

Ray was sitting next to Fraser on the sofa, staring at him. He looked confused and almost pained, and Fraser didn't know what to do to help Ray say what he wanted to say. Because, as much as Fraser hoped he knew what Ray was trying to voice, he was also terrified that maybe he'd perceived Ray's intentions wrongly. That his own feelings were clouding his judgment.
