I was watching Mountie and Soul and just had to write this.

At Night by Lucy Britt

	"So what do Canadians do at night?"

	"At night? We sleep."

	Ray had almost burst out laughing when Fraser had come up with
that
little gem. But surely, he wanted to ask, occasionally even Canadians
must do something else other than sleep at night. He hadn't said anything
knew that Fraser wouldn't understand what he meant. Would only tilt his
head to one side in that oh-so-endearing manner of his and give Ray his
best quizzical look. 

	Things could have been worse, they had solved the case and Ray
didn't
feel exactly great about having got Devlin arrested but at least they
knew he wasn't guilty of murder and finally he and Fraser had got the
chance to actually sit down and eat something. 

	Chinese - well after all Fraser's tasting and licking antics it
had
to be really. Dief was under the table and Ray could feel his hot breath
on his legs even through his jeans. He was actually more than a little
uncomfortable having the wolf so close to, well to certain areas. Yeah
the only person he wanted near that particular area was Fraser. 

	Ray choked, a mouthful of noodles going down the wrong way, he
couldn't
actually believe he had let himself think that. But his concern over
his thoughts was slightly overtaken by the fact that he was about to
choke to death. 

	"Ray!" Fraser was looking at him with concern. "Ray?"

	Ray held up a hand, I'll be right with you Fraser buddy just as
soon
as I can breathe again. 

	"Ray!" Fraser was on his feet, circling the table, pulling Ray to
his
feet, putting his arms around him and dislodging the blockage. 

	"Thanks." Ray slid back into his seat but Fraser maintained the
contact,
one hand on either shoulder his face dangerously close to Ray's. 

	"There's no need to thank me Ray, you were having difficulty
breathing
so I.." 

	"Standard procedure?" Ray smiled. "Thanks anyway Fraser. Y'know
I'm
not quite ready for the big boxing-ring in the sky yet." 

	"Well I'm glad to hear it."

	"Fraser..."

	"Ray?"

	"I.. um.." Ray glanced down at his plate. Okay so he had been more
concerned
about choking to death than anything else but surely he hadn't mistaken
the hard-on pressing into his back when Fraser had had his arms around
him. 

	"Ray?"

	"You're gonna wear my name out Fraser," Ray was grinning at him.
"Look
you full?" 

	"I have had sufficient to eat thank you."

	"Great."

	"You have some after dinner entertainment planned?"

	"Yeah Fraser. I'm gonna show you what Americans do at night?"

	"Oh?" That big blue-eyed stare, man he had to be faking it, nobody
could
be that clueless. 

	"C'mon," Ray stood up and grabbed his jacket.

	"Will I need any special equipment for this activity?"

	"Naw Frase just yourself."

	"It's a solitary pursuit then?" The Mountie had to be teasing him,
just
had to be. 

	"Sometimes but it's generally best done in pairs."

	"Is it an outdoors activity?"

	"It can be most people stick to indoors though."

	They were outside the restaurant now, Fraser standing by the car,
waiting
for Ray to find his keys. "I can't imagine what it might be." 

	"Quit kidding around Fraser, you know exactly what sort of pursuit
I
have in mind." 

	"I do?"

	Ray growled, he couldn't take this anymore and he covered the
short
distance between himself and Fraser in record time and kissed him. Fraser
was struggling to say something but Ray just kept right on kissing him,
didn't ever want to stop, it felt so good, Fraser's lips on his, Fraser's
body against his and no, there was no mistaking the erection this time.

	Finally he broke away, allowing the Mountie to get some air and
Ray
looked away, wasn't sure what whiter than white Benton Fraser really
thought about this. His physical response was easy to read but... 

	"Ray?"

	"Frase?" Ray glanced up.

	"This night-time activity, does it need a lot of practice?" There
was
no mistaking the glint in Fraser's eyes, the suggestiveness in his voice.

	Ray grinned. "Practice? Oh yeah, the practice never stops."

	"Well then," Fraser took Ray's hand, "I suggest we go back to your
apartment
and start practising." 

The End (please feel free to let your imaginations run wild )
