"Morning", the Doctor beamed at Rose, as she wearily came down the stairs.
"Morning", she replied her voice slightly croaky; it was obvious to the Doctor that she was still half asleep. She sat herself down opposite him and looked at him for a moment. It had been a couple of days since they'd returned to London and things seemed to be going well between them. They were taking things at a steady pace, apart from the moving in together of course, and she was surprised at how happy she was.
"What's up?" he asked her, realising that her gaze was fixated on him.
"Nothing, how you feeling about today?" she asked him, without hesitation.
Today was the Doctor's first day working at Torchwood, and he had to admit to himself if no one else, he was a little nervous.
"Yeah ok" he tried to convince her.
Rose smiled to herself before getting up, giving him a kiss and making herself a cup of coffee.
"I promise I'll look after you", she said to him when she sat back down.
"Thanks, but I don't need looking after. I'll be fine" he insisted.
Rose knew he was more than capable of looking after himself and she guessed that he'd find his job a doddle considering his experience in the field. But she still couldn't help but worry about how he'd react to working there. Time will tell, she thought to herself.
The Doctor stood in the hallway waiting for Rose to finish getting ready.
"Ok I'm nearly done just got to grab my purse" she told him, rushing down the stairs.
He continued to stand in silence. Rose rushed over to him, slightly breathless from rushing around. She looked at the Doctor and took his hand.
"If you get there and hate it Doctor, just say" she reassured him.
"Rose Tyler, you know me better than that, chasing aliens around London, now why would I hate that?" he said, and grinned at her.
She returned a faint smile, and then moved past him to open the door. Rose felt a sudden urge to kiss him as she was opening the door; she didn't really know why, still a novelty she thought, although she hoped that it wouldn't ware off. She turned to him, grabbed his neck and pulled him in firmly. The Doctor was a bit taken aback; he wasn't expecting that in the slightest. They both sank into a very spectacular kiss, which seemed to go on for ages; it didn't feel long enough though, they both thought as they pulled away.
"What was that for?" the Doctor asked
"Just a good luck kiss" Rose giggled.
The Doctor remained silent but grinning as Rose pulled him out of the house and into the car.
