because he won't retire until Tony does and Tony would never let him go out without him, so he won't retire until STEVE does...
This just makes me think, "I'll do it if you do it!" "Okay, but you first!" "No, you first!" "Okay, on three..." *grins*
I can totally see several (SEVERAL) 'false starts' at retiring - they retire, something comes up, they come out of retirement. Rinse and repeat.
Oh yeah. It'd take a few tries. I figure the first couple of tries one of them would try to retire on their own, though. It's a lot easier not to leap out of bed for a crisis if your lover is there with you, nuzzling your neck and saying, "The kids can handle it. They can. We have to let them handle... Right?" *grins*
And dang, makes me want to color my hot-old-guys pic now :P Curse you!
*utterly fails to regret this* :-P
Of course, it makes me want to write it. But my brain can't decide if they're already lovers when they retire or if the act of retiring makes them realize just how entwined they are in each other's lives and how much they really only want to be with each other.
