Sorry that this isn't an actual update of HSGA but here is a little one shot that has been bugging me for days and that may end up being part of the larger story arch.

"This is the future, isn't it? I've been to the year 5,000 but this is really seeing the future. You just drop us off and forget all about us."

"Not you Rose. Never you Rose." The Doctor said reaching for her.

Rose moved back and the Doctor dropped his arm a hurt look flashing across his face.

"Why not? What makes me so different from the hundreds of others?"

"Rose…"

"No. Don't just say my name like that and expect it all to become better."

"You're different Rose. Everything with you is different."

Rose looked at the Doctor. Her eyes filled with unshed tears.

"But why? You know how I feel about you. You know everything but every time that you start to get close you pull away and put up a wall."

"I can't Rose. I'm no good for you. I need you to understand –"

"No. You need to understand Doctor. I love you. I love you with everything I have but I can't continue to be half in half out. You either have to let me in or let me go."

"You don't understand Rose…When Gallifrey was destroyed…My wife and child…died." The Doctor looked towards the stars as though he was trying to scan the sky for Gallifrey, "I killed them. I killed all of them."

Rose put her hand on his face, the Doctor looked down and they locked eyes.

"You can't keep on blaming yourself. I know of the dark and twisty things you've done and I know what you blame yourself for. But you can't keep on living like this."

"I can't stop. I can't let go of this. You don't understand." He said pulling away from her.

"No, you don't." Rose said getting angry, "I didn't choose this. I didn't want this. You asked me not the other way around but now I'm the idiot who has feelings and wants moments and wants emotions from you that I know I'm never going to get. I left a good man for you –"

"I never asked you to leave Mickey for me." The Doctor said getting angry.

"I know!" Rose shouted. "I know you never and that's the issue! You never tell me what you want. What you need from me. What do you want?"

The Doctor ran a hand through his hair lightly tugging at the ends.

"Oh hell." He said pulling her towards him and kissing her hard.
