I need you forever

Notes:

This was inspired loosely of the time I fell asleep and sleep talked in Persian to one of my friends and called her my dear golden liver (quite the compliment actually). So different language and different scenarios and words but that’s what inspired me to write it.

As always I hope you enjoy.

Check end notes for translation.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Osgood figured that Kate only knew classical and Romance languages. It made sense in her head, she only tended to attend European summits and that she must have gone through language training when she had two young children so it made sense she’d skipped some. Perhaps she’d skipped languages the didn’t use the same alphabet. 

Osgood leans against Kate in the transport vehicle. Kate could die, so could she. She needs to say something and she looks down. 

“Я не могу без тебя жить, Кейт. Надеюсь, мы оба выберемся из этого живыми. Хотел бы я сказать это по-английски, но мне не хватает смелости.” She leans against Kate. 

“Хотите сказать что-нибудь ещё?” Kate places her arm around her. She looks at Osgoods wide eyes. “I’m the leader of a worldwide organisation, where do you think my language skills stop, моя любовь?” Osgood flushes and Kate laughs. “We’ll talk when we come back alive.” 

“Alright.” Osgood takes a breath as they roll over a bumpy part of the road and Kate’s arm pulls her closer, she feels totally and utterly safe. 

Notes:

Я не могу без тебя жить, Кейт. Надеюсь, мы оба выберемся из этого живыми. Хотел бы я сказать это по-английски, но мне не хватает смелости. = I can't live without you, Kate. I hope we both make it out of this alive. I wish I could say this in English, but I lack the courage.

Хотите сказать что-нибудь ещё? = anything else you need to say?

моя любовь = my love

(Also I know she has the male terms in some of her time speaking and I’d like to imagine that Osgood is just her Zygon version not realising that language can have gender and you can’t just switch mid sentence)
