( 'Kay I've never done a drabble tree, or a drabble, actually, so I hope I'm doing this right.There are nights, the darkest of all, when Fraser finds himself aiming toward Ray's apartment building. He doesn't mean to. That's not his intention, to torment himself with waking dreams about yet one more thing that unsettles him, makes him feel like an outsider. Ray is one more thing beyond Fraser's reach, yet obstinately, some nights, his running feet take him there before his brain can figure out that his heart is short-circuiting his survival instincts

Ray knows that Fraser's out there, somewhere. He calls the Consulate, and when the phone keeps ringing he doesn't hang up. He listens to the ring, hopes a little and then gives up, but lets it ring anyway.
That's what he's doing, waiting for Fraser, on the night that he hears someone out in the alley. Ray hangs up the phone, quiet and head cocked, listening for another rattling breath, another soft footstep. It's three floors down and fifty feet away, but somehow he knows that whoever it is is waiting for him.
Ray grabs his gun, clicks off the light, and settles in to wait. Whoever it is will have to come up the fire escape, and Ray's going to be ready.
