I hate it when Tony calls Gibbs "Jethro" in fic.
We never hear anyone besides Ducky call him Jethro, and I'm very certain Tony wouldn't call him that. Gibbs's ex-wives probably called him Gibbs.
I just can't see it.
On the other hand, it would also be strange if Tony called him "boss" or "Gibbs" when they are in bed. I suspect that Tony is the type to call women "Babe" or something similar, but I doubt Gibbs is going to let himself be called anything like that.
Gibbs can call him Tony, no problem there. He does it a lot already, so it wouldn't even be a change. Of course, Gibbs being Gibbs, would also call him"DiNozzo!" in bed, when he is getting impatient.
He does NOT call him Anthony. At least not in any ep I've seen.
But I can't figure out a solution for Tony. The only thing I can think of is that Tony would ask Gibbs if he gets to call him Jethro now that they are slleeping together, and then Gibbs would get that suffering look on his face that he gets a lot with Tony and say nothing. So Tony would call him Jethro, and Gibbs wouldn't have to admit that he secretly likes it.
It still feels kind of wrong though.
I am giving this way too much thought, I know.
Then of course, I'm about to rec a drabble where Tony thinks of Gibbs as "Jeth", which is even worse, but the drabble is actually quite nice.
Two drabbles, both set in/around High Seas.
Drabble 1 Drabble 2Of course with NCIS you take what you get, so they may not be my usual standard.
This fandom needs more fic. Soon.
