nifra_idril asked for: Fraser/RayK, "It's not like you're *using* that leg for anything, anyway."

*****

Ray woke up on the couch to some stupid infomercial blaring on the TV, a crick in his neck, and pins and needles all down his leg.

"Ow," said Ray. He tried to move it, but it was pretty much asleep. Not to mention that Fraser was attached to it. It looked like Fraser'd scooched over and lay down as he fell asleep. Which fine, good for him, except it meant his whole entire weight was now pinning down Ray's entire right calf.

He tried kicking Fraser with the other leg, but it was hard to manage.

"Fraser!"

Fraser mumbled something but didn't move.

"Get off me."

Fraser opened his eyes and gave Ray a look.

"You made my leg fall asleep," Ray said accusingly.

"It's not like you're using that leg for anything, anyway," Fraser said.

"Well, not now, I'm not," said Ray. "Not with you on it."

Fraser sat up slowly. Ray tried moving his leg as soon as Fraser'd moved, but it still felt weird.

"It's all numb now. Why did you fall asleep on the couch, anyway?"

Fraser was standing up now, stretching his arms out behind his back. "I could ask you the same question, Ray."

Ray snorted and sat up. His leg felt a little better as he waggled it.

Fraser was still in his uniform pants and his undershirt, with his suspenders hanging down around his waist. He finished stretching as Ray watched.

Ray was still in the jeans he'd worn yesterday, but his t-shirt had gotten thrown behind the couch sometime before they drifted off to sleep and after they'd made a mess of it. "Hey, Fraser," he said, and Fraser looked over at him. "Next time we'll try the bed, all right?"

"That sounds like an excellent plan," Fraser said, and Ray grinned and hobbled to his feet.

This is not sweet. It is not cute. It does not make me say Aww.

But, I do love it! And I do love you! *snugs*

I love the ending especially.

You know, it didn't occur to me until reading this comment that this and the last one both had sleep couchness on them. Hmm. Perhaps I am in a rut!
