Summary
Their first Spring in the White House Donna comes in wearing a turtleneck three days in a row.
Josh doesn’t think anything of it until he overhears Bonnie asking if she’s not too warm; they’re coming into April, after all — and Donna just ducks her head, cheeks stained pink while Bonnie laughs and nods in understanding.
Donna gets flowers delivered to her desk the next morning, a beautiful bouquet that makes her blush and smile, and not even his pestering and teasing can stop her from humming to herself all day.
The next week he sends her flowers for an anniversary he’s just made up, watches from his office as she reads the accompanying card over and over again, a bashful grin on her face.

Summary
“Are you sure you don’t want to call Stanley?”
Josh startles slightly, eyes darting to where Donna stands in his doorway, her coat draped over her arm and her bag on her shoulder. He can’t quite identify the expression on her face in the dim light of his office but he can at least make out the furrow of her brow, the way she worries her lower lip between her teeth.
“I’m fine,” he insists, a reassuring smile on his face. “Promise.”
“Okay.” Donna chuckles nervously, her gaze lowered as she helplessly shrugs her shoulders. “Just because I’m not.”

Summary
He squeezes his eyes shut. “Did you, uh…?”
She clears her throat, picking at the comforter. “No.”
A beat.
“Oh,” he remarks, a stale taste in his mouth.
You fucked it up.
or: a re-telling of election day through transition where things are less than stellar. josh panics, as he is wont to do.

Summary
“Josh,” she softens with a fond smile. “The chances of that happening are infinitesimal.”
“Yeah,” he says with a shrug and an air of nonchalance that feels forced. “The chances of me being shot in Rosslyn were pretty infinitesimal too.”
Donna inhales sharply, not for the first time finding herself suddenly overwhelmed by a gut-wrenching sadness that leaves her aching and breathless.
“Yeah, she murmurs, closing the distance between them so she can help him up the stairs. “I suppose.”
// inspired by mikayla and her groundbreaking question: do you think josh and/or donna ever said i love you to the other before they were together? (spoiler alert: i do)
