Oooooooooh. I love how you expanded it! Pretending-to-be-dating scenarios are like one of my favorite fic tropes EVER and nnnnnnnnnnngh Brad just casually reaching out and touching him like that is so so perfect. His...mmm...economy of interaction so him, if that makes any sense. Like he's already figured out he wants Nate so he's not under any pressure to do anything but be his awesome self. I don't know. It's hard to explain what I mean but it's good! *L* I also adore Ray as Brad's fashion yenta. ♥
