Why this must be read:
Is there anything sexier than Fraser reading Pride and Prejudice to Ray whilst out on the Adventure? No. There is none more sexy. And if it happens to parallel their lives, so be it.


“It’s just, if they are flirting, it doesn’t seem very, you know, sexy.”

Fraser felt heat start to creep up his neck again when Ray said that word, and this time it wasn’t a faint flush. Fraser found that he couldn’t answer.

“They don’t say much,” Ray continued. “I mean, they say a lot, but nothing really flirty, not directly. They’re always around other people. His scary old aunt is right in the room, for Chrissake.”

Fraser’s blush deepened, and he knew Ray couldn’t possibly miss it, even in the dim light. He tried to think of something to say, to keep the conversation normal so that his discomfort wouldn’t be so painfully obvious.

Ray looked up and stared at Fraser. “You think it’s sexy?”

Fraser looked away.

“All that tiptoeing around, dancing around the subject?” Ray chuckled. “Yeah, I should’ve figured you’d like it. Kind of repressed.”

Fraser, even though struggling to recover from his embarrassment, was quick to disagree. “Not repressed -- restrained.”
