Shooting the Breeze

Ch 2: Naked

Disclaimer I don't own anything from Glee

Author's note: I did use the dialogue from some of the scenes in the show though I did change them up a little.

"That really sucks that Sam bombed his SATs. How's he doing?" Ryder asked. He was at Blaine's house watching an independent horror movie his brother had sent him. It was called Bloody Mary. It wasn't really that scary but Ryder wasn't above using it as an excuse to cuddle up to Blaine. His head was resting on Blaine's shoulder and Blaine was holding him close with an arm around him.

"I don't really know. He was really quite for the rest of the day. Brittany wouldn't stop talking about her perfect score…I think that just made him feel worse." Blaine said as he ran his hand through Ryder's hair.

"Hey is it just me or does that Paul guy look like Finn. A Hotter way younger Fin." Ryder asked as he stared at the screen. Blaine stared at the screen for a few minutes in stunned silence before answering.

"You're right it looks exactly like him."

"Are you sure Finn didn't go away and star in a film?" Ryder asked.

"Definitely, look there's no way Finn did this; he would have fallen over trying to kick the soccer ball like that." Blaine said.

"Yeah you're most likely right. Anyways, Sam shouldn't feel bad. He's Dyslexic right, the SATs a written test and pretty tough already. I think he had a pretty good reason to bomb it. God knows I'm going to terrible on it when I have to take it." Ryder said snuggling deeper into his boyfriend's arms.

"You're right. Sam keeps his Dyslexia hidden so well that I kind of forget he has it sometimes. Now I feel like crap for not pulling him aside today."

"Just talk to him tomorrow and everything will be alright." Ryder said.

They sat there in silence enjoying the movie and the alone time when a scene came on that made Ryder's mouth drop and had Blaine yelp and cover his eyes.

"Oh my god I am never going to be unable to unsee that." Blaine yelled.

"Wow, Finn has a really nice butt." Ryder said staring at the movie in fascination. Blaine finally uncovered his eyes just to cover Ryder's.

"Hey no staring at other guys butts." Blaine said as he watched the Finn look alike get killed on screen. When the scene ended he finally removed his hand from Ryder's face.

"I am never going to be able to look at Finn the same way again." Blaine said.

"I know what you mean. Who knew that all those baggy clothes were hiding such a killer body? Do you think Finn would be open to having a threesome?" Ryder asked and quickly ducked as Blaine swung a pillow at him. The movie was forgotten as a pillow fight started.

Blaine was hanging out with Tina and Ryder at his locker talking about picking up costumes for the calendar when he looked up and saw something that stopped him in his tracks. What the hell did Sam think he was doing? It was January and he was walking around in board shorts and a pair of winter boots.

"Oh sweet merciful Lord!" Blaine muttered as he closed his locker.

"Sam what are you doing its January?" Blaine asked as they walked over to meet him.

"What do you mean it's hot out there? Sun's out its like way over freezing."

"Are you sure you're not overcompensating a little?" Blaine asked.

"Overcompensating for what?"

"Your SAT scores, we all heard that you tanked, but don't worry there are retests."

"You know what dude if you choose to be jealous of my hard core rocking body that all on you." Sam said getting angry.

"For the record Blaine has an awesome body and a perky and delicious behind that looks like it got baked to perfection by some sort of master chef." Tina jumped in to defend him.

"It really does, doesn't it?" Ryder asked. Blaine looked back at the two trying not to fidget as they both stared down at his butt.

"He also has this really nice treasure trail that goes down into…" Ryder started to say.

"Alright guys thanks for that." Blaine said before Ryder could say anything else about his body. While they haven't seen each other naked yet, Ryder has had his hands on certain places on his body he didn't want commented on.

"Sam I'm trying to look out for you. I'm trying to be your friend." Blaine continued trying to ignore the heat in his face.

"Then put down the hateoraide and come to my seminar this afternoon."

"Your seminar?"

"Yeah for the men in McKinley calendar, it's a one hour course titled 'The modern centerfold techniques to work for today young hot posers' three thirty, locker room. No chicks." Sam said walking by.

"Oh and bring your new boy toy." Sam yelled over his shoulder.

"Oh my God I feel like I'm going to die." Ryder moaned as he collapsed into Blaine's passenger seat.

"I know what you mean. That was intense. Though the mash up went really well, I thought your part was particularly hot." Blain said sitting in the driver's seat trying to get the will power to lift his sore arms.

"No offence man but your friend has lost it. He has become some crazy Nazi work out guru, an amazingly hot crazy Nazi work out guru that has some killer abs but still crazy as hell." Ryder said.

"What is with you and checking out other guys lately?" Blaine asked with a displeased look.

"Oh don't get jealous babe. If you happened to miss it I was checking you out the whole time the Cheerios were spraying us with that nasty tanning spray." Ryder said reaching over to rub his hand over Blaine's chest.

"Do you really have to shave your chest? I really like running my finger through your chest hair." Ryder asked with a pout.

"Sorry, but I think if I don't shave, Sam might actually have a nervous breakdown." Blaine said finally starting the car.

"Oh I see how it is now. Sam's mental health is more important than my pleasure." Ryder complained, his smile contradicting his words.

"Ahh don't be that way I'll make it up to you. How bout we go to my house and order some pizza and watch a movie. I'll even let you pick the movie." Blaine said as he started to drive them to his house.

"How about we watch Bloody Mary again?" Ryder asked with a smirk.

"No way in hell. I've barely gotten the image of Finn's butt out of my head." Blaine said shaking his head. He finished driving home with Ryder's laughter filling the car like music.

Ryder was leaning against Blaine in the choir room and couldn't keep the smile in as Blaine put an arm around him. They were listening to Jake serenade Marley with a really sweet love song. It was fighting for the number one most romantic moment Ryder had ever seen in his life. He was glad that Jake was taking his advice. Marley was a sweet girl and deserved to be happy, not to mention that Jake was his best friend and he would do anything to make him happy.

As the song ended Jake told them it was for Marley but completely chickened out from telling her that he loved her. After that glee practice ended and Blaine walked him to his Locker to get ready for the photo shoot.

"Hey guys I was wondering if I could talk to you about the Calendar?" Tina asked walking up to them.

"Sure Tina. Is something wrong with one of our months?" Blaine asked as Ryder put his backpack into his locker.

"Well I was talking to Kitty and we started thinking that it would be a really good idea if we did February as a sexy hot picture of the two of you together. It is the month of romance. Also we asked around and every girl we asked said they would buy the calendar if there was a picture of the two of you getting your love on." Tina said with a smile.

"Umm I guess I wouldn't mind if it's okay with you Blaine." Ryder said giving him a shy look. Blaine sent him a smile that lit up his whole face.

"Sure if you really think it would help us sell more calendars." Blaine said.

"Great! Kitty went and bought you guy's sexier costumes. She said something about I must be color blind or mentally retarded. I stopped really paying attention once she opened her mouth." Tina said as she bounced away in excitement.

"This isn't going to be good is it?" Ryder asked as they slowly walked towards the locker room.

Blaine couldn't tare his eyes away from his boyfriend. He was wearing American flag boxer briefs with a top hat and was flexing his chest muscles making his Pecs stick out in an amazing way. The underwear was showing a nice sized bulge that Blaine couldn't look away from. He suddenly wanted to do very bad things to him.

Blaine finally looked away even though it took some effort. He needed to calm down. Even though he had finished the shoot for January he still had to take February and December.

"Alright that's great." Tina yelled out as she stood up.

"I think we should do February next." She continued.

"That means if you don't want to see some man loving going on you should exit stage right." Kitty said with a smirk. The others grumbled and looked uncomfortable but none of them left. That was great. That meant they would have to do this in front of all their friends. They quickly went and changed into their new costumes before coming back. Ryder was dressed in only a pair of red silk boxer that was barely long enough to cover everything important. Blaine was dressed in boxers that were black with little red hearts on them; they didn't cover much more than Ryder's.

"Alright Blaine I want you to lean against the locker with Ryder in front of you." Tina said. They quickly followed directions.

"Ryder lean again the lockers with your left arm." Kitty ordered. Ryder lifted his arm and leant against the lockers. Blaine felt like he was being pinned to his spot even though Ryder wasn't touching him. Blaine's right hand went and rested on Ryder's lower back while his left hand fell on his bare thigh lifting it a little. This caused Ryder to lose his balance. His right hand fell against Blaine's chest to keep from falling. Their faces were so close that he could feel Ryder's breath against his face. His breath smelled like mint chocolates. Blaine watched as Ryder's head slowly lowered like he was going to kiss him and felt himself stretch up to meet him.

"That's perfect." Tina said in excitement shocking them out of the moment. They both turned to look at Tina just in time to be blinded by the flash of the camera.

"I think we have our shot." Tina crowed as she looked down at the picture. Ryder head fell against his chest and muttered that he couldn't wait till the shoot was over. Blaine couldn't agree more. He looked around and the rest of the glee club to see how they had reacted to their little show. Artie and Joe looked very uncomfortable while Jake and Sam were looking a little flushed and embarrassed.

"That was so hot. That just gave me masturbation material for the next millennia." Kitty said with a smile as she looked down at the picture. Blaine really couldn't wait until all of this was over.

They ended up selling enough calendars to pay for the buses and have a hundred bucks left over. Right after they had finished signing the calendars, which seemed to never end, they went to the auditorium to sing This is the New Year. They all laughed in excitement as it ended. It had been a chaotic week and they were all happy it was over. They all left with smiles on their face.

"You know that was a really nice thing you did." Ryder said as they walked to Blaine's car.

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about the video you made for Sam. You helped him realize that he was more than a test score or an amazing body and in my opinion that was pretty awesome." Ryder said nudging his shoulder against Blaine's.

"I was just doing what anyone would do for a friend." Blaine said as he ducked his head to his blush.

"Oh don't try to be shy. You're a really good friend and an even better boyfriend." Ryder said as they left the building.

"I was thinking we could invite Sam and Jake to my house and we can have a best bros night." Blaine said as he stared up at the slowly darkening sky.

"That sounds great." Ryder said walking ahead of him. They almost got to his car before Ryder said in a light voice, "Like I said…best friend ever."
