@cerulean-beekeeper ok but. More modern au where Elaine and RayV make Fraser a grindr account and that’s how he meets RayK. @jackymedan@wagnetic @ legit everyone else in this fandom pls fill in the details my shift is about to start.
RayK, drunk and freshly divorced, gets a Grindr to experience all the Queer Life he missed out on by getting married fresh out of highschool, because he is Over Stella and Embracing His Identity As A Bisexual Man and Thirty Six Isn’t Dead *sobs a bit into his whiskey*
He finds it… a bit of a disappointment.
*six different dick picks with just a ‘hey’ afterwards*
And when not disappointing, scarringnly bizarre
After about three months, the entire thing is a long learning experience in Men Are Scum (something he already knew because hello cop) but he keeps the app out of boredom, and it’s a welcome ego stroke when he’s especially depressed (Herself might not want me, but cchokemedady35 does! God he’s pathetic)
And then Ray finds… The Account.
oh my gosh….
keep going, please!
I know nothing about Grindr guys!
Buuut

It’s Ray Vecchio’s fault that Fraser has a phone in the first place.
“It’s 2018, Benny. The Pope has a Twitter now. You need a phone. You don’t want a gun? Fine. Stupid, but fine. But a phone is non-negotiable. If you’re my partner I need to be able to lay hands on you 24/7. I want know where you are at all times and the only way of doing that is a phone.”
They’re at the AT&T store.
“Well, if you insist Ray. These look acceptable and quite reasonably priced. And quite similar to my old one.”
“You’re looking at the flip-phones. The only people who use flip phones are drug dealers and hit men, Benny. No. Your old phone was an antique. It belonged in a museum. The purpose of today is to modernize you, Benny. No flip-phones. You my friend are getting a smartphone.”
“I don’t know about this, Ray. It seems… frivolous.”
“Are you the one paying for it? No, you are not. I am paying for this, therefore what you think does not matter here. And a smartphone is not frivolous, it’s a fundamental component of daily life.”
The clerk comes up to them with a customer-service smile that turns a bit more genuine when confronted with Ray’s Italian charm and Benny’s beautiful face.
“Hi, Leticia,” Ray says as Fraser hovers awkwardly in the background trying to erase his eyebrow with his knuckle. “I’m due for an upgrade, and I’d like to give my old phone to my friend here and add him to my family plan. Also, is there a way to activate that parental lo-jack? You know, that gps thing that’ll tell me where he is all the time? Also, is there a way to waterproof this? I mean, really waterproof. I’m talking a dive into Lake Michigan here, not I spilled some pop onto my screen.”
YAS QUEEN
There are a lot of things I love about this, but Fraser being on RayV’s family plan is actually taking the cake rn!
