Anonymous asked: GK, Nate/Ray: Ray has always been horribly annoying and obnoxious, but back home there’s just something about him that Nate can’t get enough of.

“Homes, you should totally read this book I’m reading,” Ray said, slouching on Nate’s couch and drinking one of Nate’s beers; his lower lip was full and wet as it pressed against the bottle, a distracted flick of his tongue as he read the pages.

Nate had stopped giving Ray that stern look when he called him “Homes;” somewhere along the way, Ray’s meandering stream-of-consciousness had started to be less background noise and more intriguing — he had this way of sparking these little gems of conversation, and Nate was continually surprised by the breadth of his knowledge on everything from politics to pop culture — and it was no secret that Nate loved smart people.

Nate slid onto the couch next to him and let his knee rest on Ray’s; he reached over and plucked the book — today’s fare was something on the environment, though it could have easily been the Kama Sutra — out of Ray’s hands and put it on the coffee table.

“Tell me about it later,” Nate said, dragging Ray on top of him and licking the taste of beer off Ray’s lips; he shifted his hips against Ray’s crotch and gasped.

“No one would believe me if I told them the LT was such a fucking sex fiend. Turning down straight-up discourse in favor of rubbing off on one of his men,” Ray laughed… until Nate pushed his hand down the back of Ray’s jeans and Ray’s laugh turned into a groan.
