Summary: The *other* roles they play.  200 words.
Author's Notes: It's designed so that it could be either Randy or Gale talking.  Thank you to rromantic  for saying "aawww" (I only changed a few words) and to freakykat  for general support while I've been whining about not writing.
Disclaimer: I don't know Gale or Randy or much of anything, lol.

Roles

Sometimes I forget the roles we’re supposed to play, he and I.

Not Brian and Justin. They are completely separate. Perhaps surprisingly, that’s a line we’ve managed to keep very clearly drawn, despite some of our common activities.

I mean what versions of us we’re supposed to be. What versions we decided to be, although I don’t remember when we decided or if I even got a vote.

The ones who are coworkers and friends who found out they enjoy touching each other beyond what they get paid for and chose to do that. On the casual level, constantly. Deeper…

A few times a week. Once a week. Maybe once a month… Still very casual. When we feel like it. When we don’t have someone else.

Sometimes I forget that it’s not supposed to bother me when he has a real date. When he fucking brings somebody to the set. When he’s got an arm around them and their hand is touching his hip.

I forget not to be jealous. I forget not to want more.

I even forget not to wake up and watch him breathe… those nights that he is mine.

Sometimes I think… maybe he forgets, too.
