Thank you for the great response for my first attempt at a non-crossover Castle story, The Guy's Night Out. This one is pure humor, and it will be several chapters with this one being the intro. I hope you enjoy it. As a side note, it is not slash. Gregg.

Esposito woke with a start, not quite knowing where he was. That wasn't the disturbing part, though. What was was the fact that there was a warm body curled against his back and an arm over his stomach, which he was holding firmly in place. Then he realized something. It was a guy! Oh shit! He shifted a bit, not wanting to beat the Hell out of someone if he could help it, but then he heard something that made him want to lose every meal hea'd ever had.
"Don't leave, Baby, it's too early to get out of bed," came the sleepy voice of his best friend and work partner, Kevin Ryan!
"What the Hell is going on?" he hissed, so sickened by the whole thing that he wanted nothing more than to rush to the can and hurl.
"That's what we'd like to know," a third voice rang out.
Esposito knew that voice and cringed. He got even more disturbed when Ryan didn't even wake up, but instead cuddled even closer. Opening his eyes he glanced to the foot of the bed. Yep. There was Beckett, and beside her, as always, was Castle. What was worse, though, was that Captain Montgomery was right there with them, a look of shock, and a bit of nausea on his face. Then he felt something poking into the small of his back and he lost it.
"Shit!" he shouted as he jumped out of the bed in his boxer shorts. "What the Hell is the matter with you!" he exclaimed to the now waking Ryan. He left off this customary "Bro" as he wasn't feeling too brotherly towards his former best friend right then.
"What?" Ryan asked, sitting up in the bed, looking around with bleary eyes.
"I think Esposito wants to know why you were cuddled in tight against his back and being all loving with him and calling him Baby," Castle answered the question, his amusement clear in his eyes.
"Anything you two want to come out of the closet about?" Montgomery added, deciding to get in on the humor of it all.
Ryan now looked a bit green around the gills. "I what?" he asked, praying that this was just a sick joke his friends were playing on him.
"And shoved your morning wood right in my back," Esposito growled angrily. "And there is no closet to come out of!" He sent up a prayer that no one in his family ever hears about this or he'd have a real nightmare on his hands.
"Just what are you guys doing in this closet?" Castle asked, taking in the very cramped surroundings, and the lone double bed in the room. Beckett and Montgomery laughed at the humor of it all.
"Ask Cuddles over there," Esposito said in a rather peeved tone of voice. This trip to the convention had turned into the trip from Hell! He was so upset that he didn't even notice the fact that he was still only in his boxer shorts.
"Yes, do tell..., Cuddles," Beckett chuckled, the twinkle in her eyes a dead giveaway that she was finding this absolutely hilarious and would be able to blackmail these two for years.
"Ooh, this will be perfect for the next Nikki Heat novel," Castle said excitedly as he took out a small notepad and pen.
"I am going to kill you," Esposito glared fiercely at Ryan.
Ryan just groaned and began to try and dig his way out of this nightmare.
A/N: There's the set up, and what follows is what happens that got us here. I hope to have another chapter posted before the Christmas. Gregg.
