    Summary

    It’s probably not his first choice, in terms of how he’d imagined this finally happening.

    Not that he’d imagined this exact scenario, per se, only maybe he had in that he’d always imagined he and Rose as more. More than companions, more than partners in crime, more than friends.

    He’d imagined the kind of more that led to things like fighting for blanket space and casual kisses and, yes, sharing a bath. That right there was an action that was firmly planted on the “couples” side of the relationship divider, something that would define them as properly together and not leave them stuck in the weird sort of limbo they’d somehow fallen into.

    Summary

    "As Rose stares back at him and more seconds pass slowly, almost sluggishly, the potent energy that comes with their most recent ‘I’ve almost lost you’ scare pulses between them, embedding them both with a pull that feels almost magnetic.

    Rose blames that pull for soon finding herself in his arms again, her forehead pressed to his shoulder, his embrace as strong as it’s been every other time he’s hugged her today. She doesn’t mind this mutual clinginess, all too happy to reciprocate, even if her feet don’t leave the ground, this time; there is no laughter either, only the tight hold of his arms around her, her fingers clenching the fabric of his jacket, revelling in that tangible proof that he is here."

    After 'The Satan Pit', Rose and the Doctor comfort one another.

    Rose refuses to leave the TARDIS on Bad Wolf Bay, travelling back to her universe with the Doctors instead, where she hopes to resume the 'carefree' life of adventures they had before Canary Wharf.

    After years apart, and with two Doctors instead of one, that's easier said than done.

    Summary

    His eyes drifted back down to the box. Really, she was horrible at packing. There was no rhyme or reason to any of it. Granted, he didn’t know a lot about packing - it’s not like he’d ever actually had to do it - but still. Maybe he could help her. The Doctor was pretty sure that generally all of the clothing should be in it’s own spot, not mixed in with tangled jewelry and frayed earbuds and the little mirror she always kept in her purse.

    Absentmindedly he picked up the mirror. His face appeared to be much more pale than normal, and the visage was not improved by the tiny crack he noticed running through the reflective glass. Rose’s hand suddenly covered his and the mirror. He jumped slightly and looked up.

    “What’s going on? Really?” she asked and he didn’t understand how she couldn’t already know. Sure, he sometimes missed the subtleties of this kind of thing, but Rose normally excelled in this area.

    How could she just … not acknowledge the fact that she was leaving? And how was he supposed to say something about it if she wasn’t? If she didn’t think it mattered?
