#also to sort of parallel this post topic. I like how RayK asks about second chances to first impressions

I love the he was willing to lay down his life for her parallel to ray taking a bullet for Fraser.

But Fraser is the one who fell in love at first sight.

However, I don't think this breaks down the implications of the scene but it is just changes it to fit the situation (specially that I see in this point in time they are both in love). I know it is not what is really means but I always see love at first sight as more love at first meeting that start at the moment you see each other. So while I do believe that Fraser was intrigued with Ray at first sight I like to think that it was love the moment Ray took the bullet for Fraser. As someone like Fraser is willing to lay down his life to protect anyone he meets he can't really apply this willingness to love.

How about Ray? You might see his willingness to risk his life for Fraser motivated by love, especially as Ray often says that his is unwilling to risk his neck for others. However, Ray is a dirty liar who lies as he will absolutely risk his life for others and does this for reasons I cannot psychoanalyze to justice. So him taking a bullet for Fraser is his own willingness to protect others along side the fact he has less chance of getting a fatal injury due to his vest.

So where do I see the connections between the remark and the event? Fraser fell in love because Ray was willing to lay down his life for him.

I think that after all this time risking his life for strangers (to the point of exile and other negatives) that having a stranger risk their life to save him would open so many emotion for him. Coupled with what he has seen of Ray that day, how could he not fall in love?
