Author's Note: 100-word challenge drabble for e-giggle. It's from Alex's perspective and, in case it's not clear, Ray's the one he's talking about (although I suppose it could probably work for nearly every other Evo character). I really did try my best, so… yeah. Let's hope that's worth something! Cheers.
Note2: Edited 05/16/09. Cleaned it up a bit with word choice and grammar and whatnot. No plot/story changes.

Hurt
by, Caliente
Watching him hurt just a little.
At first it hurt in a good sort of way. It was giddy and stomach-flipping, like a new crush ought to be. It was wrong. Wrong but right, in the best kind of way.
The good didn't last, though. It couldn't. It grew into more painful longing, making it hard to breathe. Hard to concentrate. Hard to do anything.
One day there was only hurt left. A crushing sort of pain that made it hard to breathe. He felt it all the time. Constricting his chest. Breaking his heart.
Watching him hurt a lot.
