And look, I even have an icon for them now. ;)

Oh boys. Boys, boys, boys. See, you leap right in there with the hot and I'm all ' ... wuh?' ;) But since that's a good thing.

I cannot get over my mental impression of Josh-in-disguise! Hee! Silly, lovely Josh. Though I guess he would need to not be really obvious when going to randomly have sex with a potential felon ...

All good intentions that go to waste when he pins you, in a way that cannot be comfortable for him either, like two strangers against the wall.
I'm getting the worst pictures of Josh Lyman's deviant pre-politics sex life here, you know. Cruisin' around, working out his anxiety and tension with random guys ... or is that another AU I want to write? ;) In any case, it's very hot. Not least because, although I know he's taller and more muscular than Toby is, the image of *anyone* pinning Toby really makes me go to the bad place. ;) And Josh's nervous, semi-broken, angry S7 energy is a strangely compelling contrast to more than semi-broken S7 Toby. (See, now I'm getting to the J/T place. *g*)

He only stops talking

The kiss. *sigh* They kiss, they kiss. Sweet boys. And: The brother-urge, a symmetry, like he is your reflection and twin both. As if you could take some comfort in his successes, if both of you would only stop this shadow-boxing. If you would stop seeing his success as his weakness, if he could stop seeing your pride as yours.
Wow. That's ... them. You get this better than I ever will. And this is beautiful language, particularly the last sentence. Thinky in the best way.

“Don’t go to prison,” he says, and you shove him away from you.
Oh, Joshua. I think I love you right now. (And Toby? Stop being a jackass, kids and everything.)

“And if you lose?” you ask, returning to the topic, Sam being off-limits for both of you.
That made me smile. You know why. :)

He lies back down, head close to yours, still laughing to himself, and you find yourself with an arm curled above his head in something close to an embrace.*sigh* I love the peace at the end, them falling asleep and the world continuing on. Toby's fondness, Josh stealing paper for

*g* I can see that. (Poor Sam..., you know it was Sam)

See? Yes, yes it is. Josh is just falling apart there, and while I agree that Sam fixing it is nice (see Twice into the River) I think there's an interesting dynamic with Toby there. The burden Leo&Jed put on them with the "you are the party" stuff. Toby who does his thing because of it, (running away from it? Or doing something he thinks is worth more?), and Josh who ends up so driven by it that it nearly breaks him. Chah. Hence the twin/mirror stuff later.

Okay, biting? Yes please. More of that.
Oookay. I can do that. (Did I know that was a thing? It seems like the sort of detail I should have known)

I so want my story to be all about this. That okay?
:-) That would be fine by me.

Wow. That's ... them.Thank you ♥ I love them muchly. Which does not explain why this is
