The Shapeshifter's Secretary

All Tony wanted was a job that didn't make his life harder.

Being a temp should have made it easier by letting him pick jobs that he was comfortable with. But bills needed to be paid, and he didn't have the luxury of turning jobs down. So when his boss offers him what sounds like the perfect job, he's afraid to hope he's finally found his place. After all, the job is only temporary. They wouldn't want to keep someone like him. Right?

Taron was starting to think he was the problem. Why else would he have gone through three secretaries in a matter of weeks? Granted, he had issues staying put, and he was known to make the occasional prank, but he wasn't that bad! So, after Avery went out of his way to find someone new, Taron promised to behave. And when he meets the newest addition, he's determined to keep that promise. Tony calls to him in a way no one else has before, and for once in his life, he wants to stay put. But when a past mistake starts looking in Tony's direction, he realizes that behaving might not be enough. Right?

Zephyr would admit to no one that he was still in love with his ex. So when there's an opportunity to work with him, he makes up an excuse and pretends he's only there for the project. Except Taron has his eyes on another, and it only took one conversation to figure out why. Tony is sweet and earnest, and in sore need of being taken care of. It wasn't possible to have them both. Right?
