Inspired by yet another dutch song from: Veldhuis & kemper .
Ik wou dat ik jou was / I wish I were you
MY FIRST TONY/MCGEE :D
Every day they sat next to each other at work, just being who they were. Sure they were friends, best friends not that either one of them had ever admitted it out loud. They would go out for drink after work sometimes, and when one of them was down the other would take him on a guys night out.
And so was it that they were together at the bar that day that their talk started.
"I am always the shoulder to cry on" McGee started
Tony looked at him not really understanding what he meant, when they got their beers he continued.
"Whenever Abby is down she always talks to me, like I am her little brother she can always talk to, just a buddy, never the guy she wants"
"I know what you mean, but I am always the opposite of you Tim. Sometimes it feels as if I cannot be anything ells then macho, I am never the nono"
McGee shighed "I wish that I could be you for a day Tony, just one time being you, being with just any woman. Not the pillow but the mattress was"
Tony let out a laugh a short one, and not because something was funny "You know, that is the exact thing I would like for a day. That I was you, just a day so-so was."
The first beer was finished and followed by a second and third before the subject came up again. Now by Tony.
"I wish I was you for a day…"
McGee finished him "just a day not myself…"
"being everything that you are" they kept finishing each other
"and that you are who I am"
"that us would still be us" Tony finished it.
The bartender smiled at the guys, he knew that the alcohol was beginning to take effect. They orderd another beer. He gave it to them but said that it was the last they both nodded. When they had finished their beer they left together. The bartender was wondering how their talk would end.
Tony and McGee had decided to take a walk and yet again the subject came up. Though you could notice that they had drunken a bit, they just started again where they left off.
"just a day free of myself you know. For once I do not have to be strong" Tony said to McGee as they were walking in the park.
"not the honey but the bee"
"not the mud but the clay" Tony said as they were walking though a puddle that still lay there after today's rain.
"wish I was not closed off to people but open to them like you" McGee admitted
"I wish that for one day I could be the parent and not the child you know." It surprised McGee to hear it from Tony. Never thought he sometimes did not want to be who he was, but be him. And in return it surprised tony McGee wanted to be someone ells, be him.
"or that I was Jim from Idols" McGee joked
"and I the fat one from the jury" Tony laughed with him "just a day not myself" Tony said with a sigh after the laughing calmed down.
"that I was everything that you are, and you everything I am"
"and that us woud still be us"
what did you guys think?
