Elevator Music

I wonder what would happen if I did it?

I want to. I want to so bad, and I have for a long time.

And I could do it too.

I could press the little stop button on the elevator and to it.

But I would never do it.

He would kill me.

No doubt about that.

He'd pull out his gun and shoot me.

Or just strangle me with his bare hands.

Yeah, he'd get more of a thrill out of that.

Or he could be truly evil and just fire me.

That would be true hell.

But he'd definitely go with the strangling.

Yeah, definitely.

So I stay silent.

I let the elevator run its course and I never mention the things I want.

I never stop the elevator.

I never kiss him, even though my body is itching for me to.

I keep quiet.

And, for the moment, I can at least pretend to control my feelings.

For the moment, just working with him can be enough.

For the moment.

Author's note: I will eventually, at some point, write a fic in which Tony and Gibbs actually get together.Tell me what you think.
