Pertinacious

Tony couldn’t believe how pertinacious Gibbs was being. How had they gone from lovers to this? Gibbs no longer talked to him. He was even more of a bastard than normal.

He’d taken giving the cold shoulder and avoidance to a level of artistry that if Tony weren’t in love with the bastard, he’d be impressed with. Apparently wanting an apology was too much for even a lover to expect. Tony had a feeling he’d be waiting a long time not only for that apology, but for Gibbs to stop being butt hurt because Tony asked for one.

He’d quietly moved his things out of Gibbs’ place as it was clear the other man didn’t want him around, right now. For some reason, which Tony couldn’t fathom, that had only made Gibbs even growlier and more bear like in his roars. Still Gibbs would need to actually communicate with words to Tony if he wanted something different.

Notes:

Prompts are currently open. If you'd like to prompt me, please do so here. Note you have to be an ao3 member to do this.

If you are not an ao3 member, you can prompt me here. Please follow the same rules as are listed in the above link. However, because this is a handmade prompt form(that thinks it's a poll), it is considerably more limited than what ao3 provides, so please use the ao3 form if you're an ao3 member. Please note the name option is for a name that I can say this is for so that you know it's for you. Since this is for non ao3 members it won't be true gifts, but you will be mentioned in the notes.

This is a new thing I'm trying, so please leave feedback here if you think it could be improved.
