f/k snippet for nif

Tiny ds thing for [livejournal.com profile] nifra_idril, because I adore her and want her to be happy like whoa. Thank you to [livejournal.com profile] lynnmonster for quick beta and smoothing awkward bits.

Nifra's prompt: F/K, belligerent.

*****

Ray yanked his shirt over his head, discarding it to the foot of the bed with a flick of his wrist.

He looked back toward Fraser, his expression something halfway between a glare and a challenge.

"Well? What are you waiting for?"

Fraser looked down at his own body, still standing fully dressed -- barely even inside the room -- and back again to Ray, kneeling in the middle of the bed, half-stripped, waiting and open.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Fraser said.

Ray ran his fingers through his hair and blew out a long breath. He rolled off the bed and stood up, and as he began working on his fly, Fraser found himself staring straight ahead at Ray's bare and ink-lined shoulder.

Fraser swallowed and unfolded his arms from his chest.

"What kind of question is that?" Ray said, as the trousers fell to pool around his feet. He stepped out of them and kicked them away, and then he turned toward Fraser.

Fraser gazed at the broad expanse of skin across Ray's arms, legs, chest, sides, all pale and lightly lined in the darkened room. When Ray took another step closer he almost reached out -- to touch, grab, have, take -- but he controlled the impulse, clenching his fist against his side instead and cracking his neck.

"I just don't think you've actually thought out all the ramifications--" he started to say, but Ray was still walking forward, closer and closer. Fraser took a step back in self-defense, but that merely brought him to the wall, a situation Ray immediately took advantage of, pressing against him, pinning him with the weight of his own body.

His warm body, freely offered, unimagined; Fraser stared back into Ray's eyes, feeling filled with something that was neither terror nor giddiness, but seemed to share some characteristics with both.

Ray's face was so close to his that Fraser could feel his breath as he spoke. "Fraser," Ray said quietly. "Do you got to fight with me about every single thing?"

For a moment, Fraser didn't -- couldn't speak. Finally he managed, "So it would seem, Ray," and he felt Ray's amused puff of air against his chin just before Ray's mouth came forward to meet his.

I love you so much it's ridiculous. People look at me, and they whisper behind their hands, "That girl loves Pearl-O so much it's ridiculous." And I can't deny it! Becuase it's trueeeeeeeee!

And I love this -- much like I love you -- like whoa. I love angry!stripping!Ray and Totallyintimidatedbythenaked!Fraser. *hmms happily and snugs you tightly*

I think you are forgetting all the people who are whispering behind their hands, "Eeeeeee, is that Nifra? The super cool Nifra! Eeeeeee!"

Dude, really, I am so so glad you liked this. I was all worried! Especially since belligerent is such a cool word and there's all this interesting MotB or assholey-Ray-and/or-snarky-Fraser stuff you can do with it, and I couldn't get it together.

I love you like whoa! Like so much whoa! A world of whoa!

Oh my god.

*falls on the floor, dead*

This?

He rolled off the bed and stood up, and as he began working on his fly, Fraser found himself staring straight ahead at Ray's bare and ink-lined shoulder.

Is the single hottest thing I think I've ever read. Whoa momma.

*loves on pearl*

I seem to be having this tiny compulsion to fetishize Ray's upper arms and tattoo as much as possible lately. I'm not sure quite what that's about.

*loves on you back*

oh! oh! I fucking adore Ray stripping belligerently! I love Fraser wanting so badly, but he can't even allow himself to move. I love this:

in such a meaningful way I can't even think on it too closely without breathing funny. Yay for pearl-o fic! *hearts*

You know, I almost didn't post this, just put it in a comment for nif, but I'm glad I did, because oh! Your unexpected feedback makes me so happy. Thank you so very, very much, my darling.

Whoo, go you!

I still love this

"Fraser," Ray said quietly. "Do you got to fight with me about every single thing?"

the best.

Love this. And this was gorgeous:

Yay! I'm so glad you liked.

Ooh, yummy. AngrySeductiveRay is a sight to behold - certainly in my imagination. Guh! And Fraser is just ridiculously adorable. *g*

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2004-08-23 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee, thank you very much!

[identity profile] resonant8.livejournal.com 2004-08-24 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh. I like that a lot. And not just for the shallow reason (naked Ray all pressed up against a fully dressed Fraser! [wipes drool away]) but because it's totally plausible, and I can just see Ray rolling his eyes and thinking, Great, we got to do the same thing as always only naked this time.

[identity profile] pearl-o.livejournal.com 2004-08-24 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Great, we got to do the same thing as always only naked this time.

Ahahaha. That's sort of the appeal of slash a lot of the time right there -- all the same things as always, only *naked*! Only, you know, with the actually getting-to-the-fucking.

Um, yes. I'm really glad you enjoyed; thank you!

Mmmmmmmmm so damned good. Woot for belligerent and woot for you! This is hot and wonderful, honey.

Yay! *snugs back*
