Title: An Uplifting Opportunity

Prompt: 16: Teamwork
Rating: NC-17 
Length: Short
Brief summary: Ray and Bodie are in a relationship but forced to spend alot of time apart due to different assignments. When they do find a couple of minutes to spend together, they do some teamwork-out... In a lift. A really sweet and funny story. 

Bodie stared out the window of the office watching the single cloud drift across the sky. The sun was just gone. A line of pink outlined the horizon then blended to ever darkening shades of blue. He wondered if Doyle was watching the sky too. If he could even see the sky from where he was. Wherever he was. For the past four weeks Cowley had kept them working nearly nonstop. Separately. Not deliberately, just too much work for too few people. Everyone Cowley felt capable of working solo was doing so. The more experienced of the lads were working some jobs while supervising others. Bodie and Doyle had seen each other maybe six or seven times in the past four weeks. More if he counted the times he'd arrived at their flat and Doyle was fast asleep in their bed. He didn't count those times. The first time that happened he woke Doyle and they made love. It was pleasant - both men were too tired for more than that. After that time, Bodie was too tired to even try. He knew Doyle was too.

Brief summary: Another Bodie's-hurt-on-a-mission story. There's just something endearing about a suffering Bodie.... So, he's hurt and Ray's taking care of him. It's funny, how often this premise is used, and yet every writer takes it to a different direction. This one, for me, is all about the imagery of Bodie, sitting in the garden in the afternoon sun. 

What Bodie couldn't take much more of would never be known because Doyle simply stepped between the parted legs at that point, took Bodie's face in his hands before he could get up and kissed him.

It cut Bodie's wires as instantly and completely as nothing else could have done.

"I...the...your neighbours." He managed when Doyle let him go, the decibels he had been building to reduced to nothing.

Doyle pulled back a fraction, enough so that Bodie could focus on him without going cross-eyed. He clicked his fingers in a pantomime of remembrance, widening his eyes as he did so.
