Brian dresses like a nerd

Okay, anyone remember this oldie but goodie?  I believe this was a challenge story, and there were two authors who submitted similar plots.  I just remember Brian works at Ryder but is quiet and isn't confident and keeps getting passed up on promotions.  He wears nerdy clothes.  Justin gets a job at Ryder, and he and Brian end up working together on a project and fall for each other.  I think Emmett takes Brian shopping and helps him to pick out cool clothes.  Also, I believe Brian is in the closet until he gets involved with Justin.  I remember the title being something like "The Guy In the Last Cubicle" or something like that.  Anyone have a clue who the author is and where I can find this story?

EDIT:  Found!  It's The Guy On The Last Cubicle On The Right" by Ashleigh Kinnerson.  The other story is Irish Hunk Has Logged On, by Daisy.  Link in comments.

You're very welcome! I have been skimming through the tags lately and I remembered seeing a previous post on this fic. Just lucky that I decided to eat lunch at home today and do a bit more skimming! :)

I don't remember if he dresses like a nerd or not, but Brian is really shy in 'My Only Critic' where he is a reporter and has to interview Justin who is an artist.

The other one that I think was done off that plot bunny is Irish Hunk Has Logged On (http://www.midnightwhispers.ca/viewstory.php?sid=705) by Daisy.
