1st Installment - The Universe Was In His Arms
The Doctor caressed Rose's cheek and smiled brightly.
"You look absolutely fantastic," he said, running his thumb across her cheek bone.
Rose giggled softly and wrapped her hands around his neck, tracing small shapes on his skin.
"You don't look all that bad yourself, Doctor," she admitted, smirking.
He leaned in and kissed her nose tenderly.
"Where do you want to go tonight?" He asked, pulling away slowly.
"Mmm...," Rose hummed contently, "surprise me."
The Doctor quickly swooped in for a kiss before running to the TARDIS's controls. He moved as he usually did, violently pulling levels and grinding buttons. Rose watched in amazement as he pulled off a series of intricate patterns.
I wonder how he does that.
When he finished and the TARDIS was in motion, he swiftly returned to Rose and grabbed her by the waist.
"You're going to love this. I just know it."
She smiled wildly and gripped his face, kissing him all over the mouth. She pulled away and blushed, for there was a small ripple in the Doctor's trousers.
"Now why have you gone and done that?" She asked jokingly, laughing softly.
"Don't ask me! You did it!"
"Well I don't suppose I'm that exciting"
The Doctor smirked.
"Oh, but you are."
He placed his hands on the sides of her ribs and pulled her closer.
"Doctor…," Rose whispered.
He silenced her with a kiss that was so strong, so passionate, she melted in his grasp and she let him take control. Lip-locked, he walked her to the wall of the TARDIS and felt his way up to her neck, holding her face gently with his two forefingers. Caught in the moment, Rose fumbled with the Doctors belt buckle, attempting to get it undone. Then, the TARDIS stopped and the Doctor removed himself from Rose.
"We're here," he said with a soft, seductive smile.
He turned from her and opened the TARDIS doors. Where Rose was standing, all she could see was an extremely bright light emanating from the air before him, but she couldn't move. She was still recovering from the Doctors eager tongue.
Rose finally managed to pull herself together. She made her way to the wooden doors of the TARDIS and opened them slowly. Awestruck, she dreamily exited the machine and stood beside the Doctor.
What stood before her was something she had never seen before. Well, not up close, anyway. Its' pure beauty was enough to leave Rose speechless. Her jaw hung slightly as she stood, starring into the steaming ball of light in front of her.
"The sun," the Doctor announced.
"It's beautiful," replied Rose.
The Doctor turned toward Rose and held her hand.
"Look around us," he said to her.
She did. They were standing in a room made entirely of glass. All around her, she could see the faint pin-pricks of light that she could only assume were other stars. She glanced down at her feet to see she was standing on glass. It looked so clear he panicked slightly at the sight, only to be reassured by the Doctor.
"No need to fret, love. The glass around us is eight feet thick and protected from radiation and space junk. I wouldn't take you anywhere I thought your beautiful little body could be harmed," he said with a matter-of-fact sort of tone.
Rose relaxed slightly and stared delicately into the sun. Stared into the-
"Why doesn't it hurt when I look at the sun?"
The Doctor gave her a half-smile.
"We're in the year four billion, my dear. Technology has advanced. This glass blocks most of the sun's brilliance.
"Oh."
Rose lowered her head into the Doctors chest and placed her hand beside it. She could hear the beating of both of his hearts. Steady, powerful beats that she felt in her own chest. She could listen to them pounding forever. As long as they kept going, Rose would be happy.
The Doctor moved his hand to her head, stroking her golden hair. His soft expression indicating he was deep in thought.
"Rose," he muttered softly, barely moving his lips, "you are my everything. I want you to know that. I love you more than anything that has or ever will exist in this universe. Being with you has changed me. I never thought I could love after what happened during the Time War, but then you came along and…" he trailed off.
Rose pulled back slightly to look him in the eyes. Her emotions were swelling in her heart. She was fit to burst.
"I love you too, my Doctor."
The Doctor's expression didn't change. He stood there examining Rose with adoring eyes. He shifted to his knee, and there in front of the sun, surrounded by the entirety of the galaxy, he took Rose's hand and managed to pull out a sparkling jeweled ring.
"Marry me, Rose Tyler."
