[They could both be clingy together. Ray could settle for that. God knows he'd been jealous of Fraser enough times before today. He couldn't even bear the thought of his partner being near Vecchio half the time, even after numerous reassurances from Fraser about partnership and friendship and whatever else he tended to ramble on about. Every logical part of him already knew he shouldn't worry about it. It was him who Fraser had ventured off into the great white North with, him who Fraser continued to work alongside even after they returned and him who Fraser was currently attached to by the lips, but logic was a hard thing for Ray to listen to. It was much, much easier to listen to the self-deprecating, insecure and far too obsessive side that told him he wasn't good enough and that one day Benton would ditch him just like Stella had.
But that part of him could go fuck itself, because Benton was here, willing to be with him if today was anything to go by, and far more obviously willing to open up their partnerships to a few new options if that kiss was anything to go by.
Yes, Fraser does pull away, but its with such reluctance that Kowalski can believe it's legitimate. Maybe the Mountie does want to pursue this just as much as he does.
Continue this conversation.
That's one way to put it.]
I uh.
[Leaning back a few inches more as he mirrors the lip lick, his hands slowly and far too reluctantly starting to release their hold.]
I'd like that.
[And even as he starts to break away, Ray's offering Fraser a dazzling flash of teeth, a reassurance to himself and the Mountie that he's okay. He's more than okay, even as he slithers out from against the wall and ducks his head to arrange his shirt and jacket.]
You should... do the thing... [Waving a hand distractedly towards the door.

Shoo, Mountie. Go be with your other people.]
