Title: Understatement.

Author: JForward

Summary: Started as a oneshot, I'm developing it now. Rose feels dizzy in the middle of the night and goes to find the Doctor, and he helps her. Bleh, rubbish summary. 10+Rose.

I don't own Doctor Who. Life is so cruel… sigh…

"Doctor?" Rose staggered out of her room, shivering in her nightie. She called his name without meaning to, but her voice was too soft for it to matter. She shivered again, stepping lightly on the cold metal floor, searching for the medical room. She needed something for headaches and dizziness. Her vision blurred and she rubbed her head at the pounding building up there.

She shivered again, wearing a short black nightdress In black, strapped and lines with pink. Tweety pie was outlined with several pink loveheart-shaped rings, and a few pink lovehearts floated next to him. Wuv bird, it said in pink below the picture. She rubbed her bare arms, leaning against the wall for a moment, wondering whether the TARDIS was doing this on purpose.

She stopped at a mahogany door. Every door in this bloody ship was mahogany! She pushed it softly open, and blinked in surprise. Inside was a powder-blue room, with a four poster mahogany bed, powder blue sheets, quilt and pillows. A mahogany wardrobe stood in one corner, a mahogany chest of draws next to the bed. She could only see some hair poking out above the quilt, but it was unmistakably the Doctor.

"Doctor?" she said, softly, and shivered again. In here it was icy cold. The covers stirred and a sleepy Doctor peered out, yawning. "Rose?" his voice was concerned, and he stepped out of his bed, walking over to her. She felt the carpet under her feet as she took a step forward, dizziness blurring her eyes. "Are you okay?" he was topless, wearing only a pair of what appeared to be jogging bottoms.

She swallowed, and he hugged her. She could smell his cinnamon-y smell. "No, I'm not. I'm dizzy" he was really hot, and she was surprised, especially after the coldness of his room. She leant against him. He led her softly back to his bed and they sat down, and she realised her headache and the dizziness were abating. He let go and leant back, holding her by the shoulders, looking into her eyes. She felt the dizziness return as he let go of her, and groaned. "Don't let go…" she whispered, and he smiled softly, hugging her again. "I only sleep once a month" he informed her. "Trust you to pick tonight" he grinned, and she closed her eyes, leaning against his warm chest.

"here" he said softly, pushing her back and pulling the blue quilt over her. "I can't sleep" she mumbled thickly. "my head hurts too much" he placed a hand either side of her head, splaying the fingers slightly and focused. Her eyes closed and she relaxed, her breathing evening out into sleep. The Doctor rolled his eyes at the TARDIS, knowing it was her doing, and got under the covers too at the other side of the bed, careful not to disturb Rose. He sighed softly, closing his eyes and slipping into sleep.

He didn't feel it as Rose stirred and rolled over, softly pressing against his side.

A/N: Dun dun dun…. To be continued. Doctor Who theme would be perfect here. Heh. Oh, yes, that IS my nightie xD
