a/n: I cannot even begin to explain to you all what a mess I am now after finding out the Ponds are leaving soon oh god, my Rory feels. But here's a little thing to perk up your night!

Warnings & Disclaimers: I don't own Doctor Who, blah blah blah. I also know the song that I used for this piece is so cliché I almost punched myself in the face but it just wouldn't leave me alone. I only own the mistakes, I'm afraid.

This is the second day of Giftmas for the ever-so-wonderful, Sara. :)

'with drops of jupiter in her hair'

'And tell me, did you fall for a shooting star;

One without a permanent scar,

and then you missed me while you were looking for yourself out there?'

To most people Amy Pond is the girl who waited, the girl who was the Doctor's best friend, or even the girl who helped saved the planet multiple times. But really, the unsung hero of these things is him; the Last Centurion, Rory Williams, or more aptly, the boy who waited.

Rory didn't mind waiting, especially if Amy was involved, because she's always been the best he could do and he's known that ever since he can remember. He started waiting for two or three hours at a time when they played hide and go seek, but somewhere this snowballed into two thousand years with nothing but a madman's word and hope that she would be okay.

But mostly his waiting was spent while she was off with the Doctor, because what else could he do besides make the love of his life happy? Sure, going off for a long expanse of time with another bloke who was infinitely more interesting and exciting than her fiancee troubled him a bit, but he had to trust she would always come back to him.

And she always did. No matter how long it took or how impossible the obstacles seemed, they always ended up back together.

And really, that was enough for him to be going on with.
