Summary: Dylan hates it when Hoechlin gets asked
to take his shirt off at conventions. Sure, he gets it.
Tylers a good-looking guy to begin with, and when all those
abs come out to play hes really, really, ridiculously
good-looking... All of a sudden the idea of Tyler being ogled by anyone,
in any way, doesnt sit well with Dylan at all.
A/N: thanks to my Supanova wingman for
suggesting a much better alternative to the "take off your
shirt" question.

Dylan hates it when Hoechlin gets asked to take his shirt off at
conventions. It always makes him feel a little... uncomfortable?
Sure, he gets it.
Tylers a good-looking guy to begin with, and when all those
abs come out to play hes really, really, ridiculously
good-looking. But its not like the fans cant just
watch the show if thats what they want to see. Watch it in
slow motion, on repeat, pause it for as long as they goddamn
want. Theres more than enough material there, Derek Hale
gets his shirt off practically every other episode. When
hes running through the woods inexplicably half-naked, or
working out unnecessarily, when hes wounded and his clothes
are ripped to shreds, or some woman is ripping his clothes off
him...
All of a sudden the idea of
Tyler being ogled by anyone, in any way, doesnt sit well
with Dylan at all.
He tries to ignore it, keep his
head in the game for the rest of the convention, but it bugs him
all day. Throws him off just enough that hes not even
surprised when Tyler shows up at his hotel room afterwards, his
ridiculously good-looking face all soft with concern.
Is everything okay?
Tyler asks when Dylan lets him in. You seemed a bit off
today.
Yeah
Its
just
It bugs me when people ask you to take off your
shirt, he blurts. Yes, youre
friggin hot under there, but youre more than that,
you know? Youre also smart, and kind - youre one of
the most genuinely nice guys I know. I mean, youre
ridiculously easy to get along with, and youve got a great
sense of humor, God I love your laugh-- Dylan cuts
off abruptly, inhaling sharply as Tylers ridiculous
eyebrows shoot up in surprise.
That wasnt exactly what
Dylan meant to say. I love making you laugh,
maybe.
Or maybe hed said exactly
what he meant.
Dylan looks away, a flush
burning across his skin at the sudden realization. What am
I saying? he huffs, trying to cover up the slip. No
wonder everyone wants more of you. Youre ridiculous.
Everyone? Tyler
echoes softly, stepping closer.
Well, its not like
anyones asking me to take off my shirt, and
Ive got a rockin bod, Dylan shrugs, struggling
to maintain his bravado.
I know, Tyler says,
softer still, but with a heat that makes Dylans faltering
gaze snap up again. And the way Tyler is looking at him now...
its like hes seeing right through the material
of Dylans shirt, his usually gentle eyes eating him up the
same way Tylers fans do when theyre asking him
to undress. Dylan doesnt even realize how close
Tylers gotten, until hes being pulled in, and
Tylers lips are crashing against his own.
And its ridiculous how
easy it is, the chemistry between them. Effortless, since day
one. So Dylan doesnt know how he didnt see it coming.
But it isnt long at all before Tylers hands are
traversing the same paths his eyes made earlier across
Dylans skin, first over his shirt, then all up under it.
And soon theyre both shirt-free, pressed up flush against
each other, and sprawling across Dylans hotel bed.
Look at that, Dylan
huffs breathlessly, eyes roaming over Tylers naked chest
and taking the opportunity to appreciate the view. And I
didnt even have to ask, he says smugly.
Tyler laughs, full-bodied and
loud, tossing his head back as that beautiful smile breaks across
his face, and oh yeah, thats why Dylan loves makes him
laugh. Its like seeing the goddamn sun shine.
Ive got a much
better suggestion anyway, Dylan grins. Take off your
pants.
