Wow. Not only have I responded to a challenge, but I've also written my first ever drabble...
Bodie remembers when necessity sometimes decreed that they should share a bed. How he’d awaken with Ray draped around him like a human blanket; how Ray would wake with a mumbled “sorry” and shift slightly, while he mumbled a “’s ok” in reply. And it was ok. More than ok.
Bodie wonders if Ray ever saw through the half-truths and staged situations that made the sharing necessary. If he did he never protested, so it must have been ok with him.
Nowadays Bodie doesn’t need subterfuge. Nowadays Ray shares his bed every night. And that’s ok with both of them.

But I have to admit, this was rather satisfying. Very nice!

Same goes for me really, although I do like short stories too - just prefer the longer ones. Probably why I'd never even attempted a drabble before.
Pleased you liked this one, anyway!
