The Centaurs are asked to do one of those sexy pin-up charity calendars and a photographer gets brought in to take the pictures.
The guys are goofing around, sitting in on each other's sessions and making jokes, and generally being a pain in the ass. The photographer has just about run out of patience when finally it's Shane's turn.
Shane, consummate professional that he is, locks in. It's a little bit embarrassing to be doing this in front of the guys, sure, but he's got a decade's experience here. He can easily compartmentalize.
The photographer is ecstatic that someone is finally taking this seriously! It doesn't even matter that the room his filled with hockey players wolf whistling and shouting "Looking good, Hollzy!" because Shane hits every pose and makes every adjustment and is generally just a dream to work with. (It also doesn't hurt that he's so easy on the eyes.)
Ilya finds the whole thing fun at first but his expression is stormy by the end and when Shane finally gets cleared to leave the set, he's positively pouting.
"What's the matter?" Shane asks quietly as soon as they're in the hallway.
"You liked that?" Ilya asks. "Taking his directions?"
Shane rolls his eyes. He can't believe he thought something was seriously wrong. "Oh my god, you're ridiculous."
"I was just doing my job. It's not like I was having fun."
"Could have fooled me," Ilya mutters bitterly. "You were being very good for him, doing whatever he told you."
Shane's cheeks go hot, a Pavlovian reaction to Ilya telling him he's good even though it's wrapped up in the pettiest, most stupid accusation.
"You know I've done this like a hundred times, right? There is nothing special about this specific photographer."
Ilya's eyebrows rise. "You would go to your knees for any man who asked you, as long as he's holding a camera?"
Maybe there had been a pose or two involving Shane on his knees. That doesn't make this tantrum of Ilya's any less stupid- although looking at him now, Shane's not sure if he's still just pissed or if he's talked himself around into being horny about it, too. Ilya does have a tendency to do that.
Shane really shouldn't be encouraging this. But then again, "Why don't you take me home and try it?"
Ilya curses under his breath, then grabs Shane's hand and practically drags him out to the car.
