Work Text:

Protagonist swallowed thickly as his finger hovered over the elevator button at his new office job.

After the nightmare he'd gone through with the elevator breaking down at his previous place of work, he felt quite a bit of anxiety around elevators.

But, he also had to get up to the eighth floor and he definitely didn't want to walk up eight flights of stairs first thing in the morning, especially while carrying his coffee and briefcase.

You've got this, he had to tell himself, working up the courage to click the button.

...Maybe the stairs aren't so bad, actually
