"I love you," he breathed into her ear. His voice, haunted, deep, pained. His voice sounded so desperate that it was as if he had waited 900 years to say those exact words to her. His voice...that was all it took.
In one swift moment, Rose lost all her self-control. She had been very controlled when finally finding him, just hugging. Throughout their time together, despite how it ended, she had been very restrained, with just one hug and the occasional holding hands. He had been restrained too, just the one, "leave her alone." Now he has broken, and given in, there was nothing holding her back.
Grabbing onto his jacket, she pulled him close to her, and crushed her lips onto his. She desperately leaned into him, trying to close every possible gap between them.
Thankfully, he didn't say no.
Fusing his hands to her waste, he held onto her, tight. Never wanting to let her go he was too busy to savour the moment. Living for today, he furiously kissed her back.
Forgetting everyone around them, they were only interrupted by the closing of the tardis door. Pulling away from him, she watched as her old home vanished with the familiar groan for the final time. Suddenly, a familiar hand grabbed her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. She looked up to see a pair of well-known eyes on a stranger's body looking deep into her.
It was at that moment that she realised he wasn't going anywhere, and that he would willingly give her forever.
But right now, she didn't feel like she wanted, or deserved forever.
