Rose rarely took out anger on her beloved hair but tonight was one of those times. Sitting cross-legged at the vanity she was conducting some serious mayhem upon her locks with her brush, swiping it hard enough that it would be impossible for her tardismate to not hear. Sensing the Doctor was finally standing in the doorway she stopped brushing and turned towards him.

She waved her brush at the Doctor like it was a sword then went back to using it on her hair. "Don't even think of looking at me right now, I'm very cross with you!"

The Doctor looked down at his feet, trying to avoid Roses's face. "Its just that I thought-"

"That I'd be happy? Look, you finally tell me you love me when we are in front of my mother and you think that I am going to be thrilled about it? I always dreamed you would tell me first, when we were alone."

The Doctor wasn't good at apologising but for Rose he was determined to try. "You're right, I should have told you first. I really am sorry and I do apologize. I should know by now how bonkers your mum is." He slid onto the bench that Rose was occupying and pulled her in close. "I love you and I'm sorry." He smiled then kissed Rose on the nose. Deciding to take a chance he glanced over to her nearby bed. "If it's okay with you I think that we should maybe make up now."

Rose couldn't help but lose her anger and laugh at his openness. The Doctor usually wasn't that direct when it came to matters of the bedroom. "Okay, boss."

The Doctor smiled for the first time that evening. "So, is it safe to say you aren't mad at me anymore?"

Rose finally put his brush down. "Yeah, yeah...I can't stay mad at you for long, you're just too cute."

"And you, my love are beautiful."

After a couple of hours had passed and they were safely snuggled under the covers the Doctor opened his mouth again. "Rose, what do you think about-"

Rose sighed and couldn't help but give the Doctor a dirty look, "for once in your life could you please shut up for more than five seconds?"

The Doctor laughed. "Only if you kiss me."

And Rose did.
