Title: Josh and Donna, A to Z or 26 Alphabetically Sorted Facts Author: cantbesilent Rating: G Disclaimer: Not mine. Notes: So, this is an interesting little piece of fluff I've got going here. I was inspired by something else somewhat similiar, and since I can't come up with a story to save my life and miss these two like you don't even know, this is what I have! Starting a sentence with every letter of the alphabet, wow. Creative of me, no? Its cute, its fluffy, its happyfunnyfuture craptastic fic that is sure to send some people into sugar comas, just to be warned. And it might be slightly out of character at some point, but, you know, don't mind the crap. Sorry. Oh, and some of these letters were hard! So if it feels like I'm stretching, its cause I was. :) A - Although Donna doesn't sing in the shower, she hums, often not even realizing she's doing it. If Josh catches her he'll always start humming something else loud enough for her to hear, she'll get thrown off, sputter to a stop, stick her head out through the shower curtain and glare at him. B - By the fifth day of knowing him, Donna decided that Josh was very near the definition of incorrigible. Now that they share an apartment, a bed, and a checking account, she hasn't altered her opinion in the slightest. But for some reason that hardly bothers her at all. C - Casual about almost everything, Josh and Donna don't have a song. This was a deliberate choice. D - Despite how enticing the idea is, Josh and Donna have never been alone in his old office their entire romantic relationship. E - Every Thursday Josh and Donna eat lunch together, outside of The White House, at the same little restaurant two blocks away. They usually always order the same thing, and although they talk shop on the walk there and the walk back, once they sit down its nothing but nonsense, plans and laughs. F - Four to five times a year Josh reads a book of Donna's choosing. Its always fiction, always paperback, and always a stellar choice. She takes out a sticky and writes his name on it before sticking in his nightstand drawer for him to read at his pleasure. She does this as "therapy" so he won't go "nutty" reading nothing but work related stuff all hours of the day. G - Given that he reads the book she picks out without complaint, Donna has sat through many movies she could have happily gone her entire life without seeing simply because Josh picked them out and fair is fair. She has never sat through more than fifteen minutes of SportsCenter through, because she's never made him read an Oprah-like chick book, and there are some things she just refuses to do. H - However incompetent he is the kitchen, Josh makes the best omelets Donna's ever tasted in her life. It's the only thing he can make, but she doesn't care an ounce so long as he keeps making those things. On days she's craving them the most he always refuses to make them, so she is forced to heap copious amounts of pleading, praise, and kisses on him to make him give in. I - Its inevitable that, when they fight, one of them always ends up slamming something. A door, a drawer, their hand against something. Once, Josh slammed a door so hard a childhood photo of his grandparents fell off the wall and broke, original frame and all. Donna went out and bought a new old frame the next day and practically screwed it to the wall. J - Josh's mother is crazy about Donna, and tries to visit twice as often as she use to. K - Kissing Josh is one of Donna's favorite activities, and became so the very first time she experienced it. And she's not ashamed to admit that there are still times where he can make her stomach do a flip flop simply by smiling at her. Having suppressed that feeling for so many years, she's no where close to caring how corny it sounds. L - Lovingly but somewhat randomly, in the bathroom on a blas‚ Tuesday morning as she snapped her bracelet into place, Josh proposed to Donna. It was so off-the-cuff and informal he had to ask her twice, because the first time she thought he was joking and started to laugh. M - Memorial Day weekend during their first year together, Josh forced Donna to go to a major league baseball game, and that was the one and only time he has done so. He got the best seats he could pull and bought her a jersey just for the occasion. She wore it, along with a hat, while she sat in the rock hard plastic seats during a three hour rain delay. As punishment she tried to start the wave, embarrassing him to no end. He has never forced her since, although she has volunteered to go again on a sunnier day. N - Notoriously, when they fight, Donna leaves the apartment, even if its just to sit on the stoop. She's even more inclined to do this in the winter, in a weird wind chill masochism way. She thinks the cold air helps her come to her senses sooner. O - Of course, Josh and Donna don't have an anniversary. They have nine of them. P - Payback for the disastrous and wet baseball game was when Donna forced Josh on a trip to the free-but-never-visited zoo. It only took him ten minutes to bring out the first complaint, and, just to annoy him, Donna spent an extra long time in the crowded and smelly elephant exhibit. Q - Quixotically and fanatically, as if they were the objects of a White House fairy tale, a thousand and one people had millions of elaborate and, quite frankly, ridiculous ideas for their nuptials. Deciding to forgo all the pageantry their work afforded them, Josh and Donna were married on a Friday afternoon in front of 14 people. The bride wore a simple white frock and her biggest smile to date. R - Rosslyn and Gaza are two words that have yet to come up in conversations between them. Although both have recovered from the physical and emotional wounds inflicted upon them, Josh gets a particular look on his face when he thinks about Gaza. Donna gets the same look when she thinks about Rosslyn. S - Secretly, although he protests and will never admit it, Josh actually likes the redecorating she's done she they moved in together, and he really likes how much everything now smells of her. T - There's a rule that Josh isn't allowed to read work related materials in bed, regardless of how "convenient" it may be. If she catches him she will refuse to get into bed until he puts it all away. She's never has had to wait for more than a minute and a half. U - Understanding how to best to drive her crazy, Josh decided jestingly that they should go to Disney World for their honeymoon, and while she first dismissed this with a smirk and an eye roll, he harped on the idea so much she actually feared her was serious. She made all the plans quickly and by herself, and they ended up on a beach somewhere. V - Virtually all their fights can be broken down into one simple concept: time. There never seems to be enough of it. W - When they fight, one of them always apologizes before they fall asleep, and the other always follows suit soon after. Much make-up sex ensues that makes all the fighting worth it. X - Xenodocheionology, Josh now knows, means a love of hotels. He discovered this completely useless and insane factoid while stuck in traffic on 495. Donna stared out the window, folded up the book in her lap, and told him that, as if he had somehow been curious in the first place. When he asked her why there was such an incredibly long word for such a simple concept she shrugged and said she didn't know, but she was sure to find out. Y - Years ago, when Donna first started working for him, people warned Josh not to get involved with his young, blonde and pretty assistant because, well, you know. It'll be a tawdy affair that doesn't end well, they told him, and no one needs that. Besides, she was too special for all of that anyway. Now, when Donna falls asleep on their sofa with her head in his lap, he thinks about how incredibly right they all were. Z - Zealously but carefully, Donna tries to steal all the interesting parts of the Sunday paper before Josh has time to get it, leaving him only with the sections on how to cook a easy but filling meal for five and reviews of local plays. He's on to her though, and has taken to sneaking out of bed just minutes before she wakes up to beat her at her own game.
