The Doctor was sitting cross-legged on the floor, building who-knows-what out of wires and knick-knacks he found in his pockets. For a moment he paused and looked up at the sleeping figure on the captain's chair.

Rose. His Rose.

He blinked rapidly. Did he really just think that? He shook his head and went back to his invention, except it wasn't helping. His mind kept wandering off to Rose, he couldn't help it. The TARDIS gently eased into his mind. He couldn't exactly hear words but he could feel what she was trying to say.

Why?

He sighed again. He knew what the TARDIS was talking about. He whispered to the TARDIS, mostly because he needed to get the words out in the open.

"I can't if I admit I love her and if she lo…feels the same way, then…we'll be connected….and she's human and I'm Time Lord, and it just can't happen."

Yes it can.

"No it can't," he whispered, slightly irritated, "You know what happens when Time Lords fall in love, and she's human."

You know that she loves you too.

The Doctor was taken aback, "She loves me? Why would she love me, I'm just nothing. Just a stupid, broken, 901 year old Time Lord and she's a brilliant, beautiful, human."

That's not true. She loves you; she thinks that you don't love her.

"What? No never mind. I just, wow. What do I do?"

Talk to her. Tomorrow. Let her sleep.

"But we still can't do this," the Doctor said a little loudly, "I don't want to risk hurting Rose!"

So? She's hurting herself everyday when she looks at you and wants to tell you. You should hear her thoughts. She thinks that she's not good enough that you would never love her.

"Oh," the Doctor whined, "That's not fair! Fine, I'll talk to her. Stupid mind reading machine." The last part he mumbled, and in return the TARDIS sent a powerful electric shock through his mind. He flinched and dropped his invention. It clattered loudly to the floor, and Rose jolted awake.

"Oi!" she said, "Trying to sleep here, and-and what in the world are you building?"

The Doctor looked down at his invention, "I have absolutely no idea."

She snorted and stretched. She came over and sat down next to him. She rested her head against his shoulder and pulled herself close to him. He, to his dismay, blushed and his hearts picked up pace. The TARDIS really made him confront his feelings. Stupid intruding TARDIS, he thought, again he was rewarded with a shock from the TARDIS. Though this shock was more painful. He jolted upward, knocking Rose backward, who carried him down, too.

"Ow," both of them said, and in his mind, the Doctor could feel the TARDIS laughing.

"What was that for?" Rose asked.

"Sorry, the TARDIS keeps sending shocks through my head," he answered.

"Why?" Rose asked. The Doctor turned his head to look at her and shrugged.

"The old girl is probably having some fun," he answered, before he could stop himself his gaze slid down her body.

"What time is it?" Rose asked. The Doctor raised his eyebrows.

"You know what I mean!" Rose said slapping him on the arm.

He chuckled and said, "Earth time it is…around 8:00am."

"No wonder I'm hungry!" Rose said. She picked herself up, and headed towards the kitchen. The Doctor sighed and got up to follow her.

She woke up. Talk to her.

He sighed again and kept on walking. When he entered the kitchen Rose was already pouring herself a bowl of cereal.

"Want some?" she asked.

"No thanks," he replied sitting across from her. He watched as she ate breakfast.

"Why are you staring at me?" Rose asked.

"No reason," he answered looking down.

Talk to her. No, he thought back and for the third time was awarded with a shock. He jumped and Rose dropped her spoon.

"Will you quit that!" the Doctor said, loudly.

"Quit what?" Rose asked confused.

"Not you the TARDIS."

She nodded and went back to her cereal. The Doctor couldn't help watching her.

After a few minutes she said, "You're doing it again."

"What?"

"Staring at me."

"Oh, sorry." He looked back down at the table, swinging his legs.

Before she could stop herself she reached over and touched his cheek. He looked up surprised.

"I didn't say I didn't like it," she said. She screamed in her head; why did I just say that, he would never love you. He looked at her surprised and gave a slight smile. He hoped she couldn't hear his hearts pounding. Rose smiled back and realized her hand was still on his cheek. She blushed and started to slowly retract her hand, but the Doctor caught her hand with his.

"Sorry," he said letting go. Rose looked closer at him; she could see pink in his cheeks. He was blushing. Rose was shocked, the Doctor never blushed. He looked away, and just then the TARDIS lurched and rumbled. The Doctor and Rose where thrown out of their seats.

"Rose, are you okay?" The Doctor asked pulling himself up. He looked at her as she angrily picked herself up. She was covered in milk and soggy cereal. He couldn't help it; the Doctor burst out in laughter.

"Shut up," she said but she was grinning too. She got up and grabbed the milk carton from the fridge, it was practically empty, but it worked. She poured the contents of the bottle over his head.

"Hey!" he shouted jumping back. He shook his head like a dog to try to get the milk off.

"I'm going to get you!" he said, threatening. Rose smiled and ran out the door, the Doctor chasing after her. She made it to the console room when the Doctor's arms wrapped around her and picked her up.

"Whoa," she gasped. He laughed and swung in a circle; her legs kicking out wildly.

"Let me go," she said laughing.

He sat her down on the captain's chair and as she was getting to stand up the Doctor's lips were on hers. She sighed and relaxed, bringing her hands to get intertwined in his hair. All too soon he broke away.

She sighed, "Well."

The Doctor sighed, "I just wanted to say that I…uh…"

"What, Doctor?" she asked. The Doctor opened his mouth when a scream was heard through the TARDIS doors.
