The Cold Anniversary
Somebody mentioned that no one had posted and Cold-inspired anniversary fic. This seems a total shame, so I'm going to try to finish a drabble in the next few minutes, but in case I don't make it, I offer a "translation" of the infamous "I feel terrible" scene that I posted on the keytuskids on the first anniversary. Some of you might even remember it!
JOSH: I'm sorry. Uh ... (he opens his mouth, then closes it) ... about this morning, it was ... (he shakes his head slightly, eyebrows raised) ... inappropriate. Translation: I'm sorry. I shouldn't kiss you because I'm your boss.
DONNA: Don't worry about it. Translation: Trust me, I don't mind.
JOSH: Totally inappropriate. I--I feel terrible. Translation: Except I really don't.
DONNA: Don't. (she smiles) Translation: Good
JOSH: Seriously. Translation: Cause I want to do it again.
DONNA: Seriously. (still smiling, she nods) It was bound to happen sometime. I'm going to call the White House, talk about Kazakhstan. Translation: Good. Because I've been wanting this for a while.
(she walks away and all he can do is stare after her, mouth agape)
JOSH: ................... Translation: You mean I could have done this YEARS ago???!!!!
