Fic: The First Six Times

Author: Punk
Fandom: Due South

Summary: The rundown.


The First Six Times

The first time they slept together, it was an accident.

"Oh dear," said Fraser.

The second time, Ray was drunk. As Fraser was not prepared to incapacitate him further, and was actually mildly surprised at Ray's apparent excitement over the prospect of being restrained, Fraser shrugged and went along with it.

"Fuck, yeah," said Ray.

The third time, they were interrupted.

"Inspector Thatcher has dispatched me to inquire after the whereabouts of her dry cleaning, sir. Good evening, Detective Vecchio. Quite an interesting tattoo you have there. Did it hurt?" said Turnbull.

The fourth time, Fraser was drunk.

"Turnbull saw me naked," said Fraser. "Fuck."

The fifth time, they tried to come up with all the reasons why they shouldn't sleep together: There was a hockey game on; Fraser needed to iron his boots; Vecchio would kill them both; it was too hot; Diefenbaker needed to be taken out; Frannie would wear black and throw herself weeping across Ray's desk and they'd never get any work done again; Ray was giving up being queer for Lent; it was June.

"Oh yeah, like that--" said Ray.

"Ray!" said Fraser.

The sixth time they slept together, they stopped pretending it didn't mean anything, and admitted, quietly to themselves (Ray), and through the use of interpretive eyebrow rubbing and a story about two Inuit who opened a taco stand during the height of winter (Fraser), that it might actually mean something.

"Guess you should bring over a toothbrush. Extra shorts. That sort of thing," said Ray.

"Thank you kindly," said Fraser.

"Oh, you've been holding out on me, son. This closet is solid pine. Excellent joist work, and the lake! I always did want a summer cabin," said Bob Fraser.

"Do you hear that?" Ray asked, cocking his head. "Sounds like someone's singing, and...hammering?"

"Oh dear," said Fraser.

Ray was giving up being queer for Lent;

that's *so* the best line. But this whole thing is crazy charming. Woot!

[info]spainja

June 21 2005, 00:03:26 UTC 6 years ago

It's even funnier when you realize that Lent isn't even in June. Oh, silly boys and their silly rationalizations.

Clearly you're getting the hang of this. (:

I am getting better at this! I was going to ask you for beta, but it was so short that I thought I should just be brave instead. *g*

Oh, this is funny! And charming! And funny, did I mention that?

Hey, I'm funny! Twice! *g* Glad you liked it.

This is wonderful!

Thanks! It was fun to write something short and to the point. No worrying about, you know, PLOT or anything. *g*

June 20 2005, 23:03:50 UTC 6 years ago

Yep, that's exactly how I remember it.

[info]aclarar

June 20 2005, 23:15:44 UTC 6 years ago

mmuhhahahahaha.

incredible funny...the last line.

I like it a lot. thanks for sharing.

[info]aclarar

June 20 2005, 23:17:12 UTC 6 years ago

ok, all of it was funny, but I love the last line.
Wha? I like Bob.

[info]runpunkrun

June 21 2005, 05:22:47 UTC 6 years ago

Yeah, I was happy to get Bob into this one. I hadn't gotten to write him yet and he's so much fun.

HEE! An accident! The fourth time!

*chortles to self, rereads*

Fraser's definitely going to have to relax his stance on drunken sex now. Clearly it has its place.

[info]brooklinegirl

June 20 2005, 23:21:56 UTC 6 years ago

This is simply brilliant. God, I was grinning like a madwoman through the whole thing. I love every damn part of it - I can't pick just one line. I adore you!

[info]runpunkrun

June 21 2005, 05:23:49 UTC 6 years ago

Eeeee! Thank you. And to think I wasn't sure if I should post this or not. Apparently my judgment is just critically flawed when it comes to DS fic.

[info]mergatrude

June 20 2005, 23:34:39 UTC 6 years ago

You've made me giggle helplessly - wonderful antidote to all the angst prowling about the place.

[info]runpunkrun

Glad you liked it!

[info]joyfulseeker

June 20 2005, 23:35:13 UTC 6 years ago

Oh, this was in general hilarious. I am in awe of your ability to tell a complete story in such a small space.

[info]runpunkrun

June 22 2005, 04:50:05 UTC 6 years ago

I usually tell a very small story in a big space, so this was a new one for me. *g*

[info]boggit

June 20 2005, 23:38:48 UTC 6 years ago

CUUUUUTEEE!

That's the closest approximation I can give of my verbal reaction to this story. It's so great. So, freaking, great.

[info]runpunkrun

June 21 2005, 22:22:38 UTC 6 years ago

Thanks!

[info]raveninthewind

June 20 2005, 23:39:18 UTC 6 years ago

This is wonderful because it's whimsical and light-hearted and (yes) utterly charming and oh-so-right.

[info]maryavatar

June 20 2005, 23:45:52 UTC 6 years ago

Hee! Giving up being queer for lent! Dead!Bob! 'Oh dear'!

Laughing my little cotton socks off :)

[info]planetalyx

June 20 2005, 23:48:41 UTC 6 years ago

You are wonderful! This is wonderful! The Lent line, as many have mentioned, is delicious. As is "Vecchio would kill them."

[info]akite

June 20 2005, 23:51:27 UTC 6 years ago

Oh! That was great. I can't pick out just a line or two to quote, it was just that good.

So funny! So great! So cool that you're writing DS! :)

[info]runpunkrun

June 23 2005, 02:42:23 UTC 6 years ago

I think I'm getting the hang of DS. This is the first thing I wrote that I didn't have a nervous breakdown over.

[info]kijikun

June 21 2005, 00:24:39 UTC 6 years ago

I love Fraser's Oh dear.

And the "giving up being queer for lent..."

*dies laughing*

Great story.

[info]runpunkrun

June 23 2005, 02:43:26 UTC 6 years ago

I *think* Fraser's bookend "Oh dear"s were an accident. But a happy one. *g*

Thanks for the comment!

[info]burntcopper

Like everyone lse, I love Bob. And 'Giving up being queer for lent.'
