Shopping List Challenge by Christine
I’m a new member, been reading a long while but this challenge just spoke to me… (And if it sucks just tell me so.)
Title: Unprecedented
Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
Rating: G
Summary: barely even a verifiable fact…
It was a little thing, barely even a verifiable fact, but it said so much coming from Ray that Ben couldn’t help but smile. Ray generally speaking lost shopping lists before he could make it to the store, they would turn up a week or ten days later, in the wash or on the floorboard of the GTO. Inevitably all the items but one, the reason the list was started invariably, would have been purchased during the scheduled trip, but the reemergence of the list, with its missed item, would usually prompt the beginning of a new list. It was a never ending cycle from what Ben had seen, and given that he was now spending four days a week at Ray’s apartment he saw rather a lot of it. So finding the list Ray had scribbled after breakfast taped to the driver’s side sun visor was quite unprecedented, and now that he was able to read the contents of the list, undeniably sweet. Six of the nine items were at least obliquely for him, of those three of the items would not have graced such a list as recently as twelve weeks ago. But as much as he appreciates the gesture he knows better than to point it out, so he simply re-secures the tape and slides back into the passenger’s seat, ignoring Dief’s comment about the still illegal parking job.
