Hello Whoniverse! This is my first Doctor Who story and it's very AU. I made a video trailer on youtube, link in my profile if you wanna check it out. Sorry though, it got blocked in Germany :P My wonderfully Scottish friend Anneliese(who doesn't have a FF account) edited this since it takes place in England and I'm from America.
The white snow danced from the sky as pink slipper clad feet stepped out of the flat. She was wrapped in a dark blue blanket as she walked down the outdoor hall. Coming across the familiar numbers on the door, she reached into the pocket of her dressing gown and unlocked the door.
The flat, belonging to John Smith, was dark and void of anyone but herself. Her name was Rose Tyler. Rose turned on a light and closed the door, becoming embraced with heat. She dropped the blanket and went into his kitchen where she put the kettle on. She got two mugs out of the cabinet, one read John and the other read Rose. They were gifts from each other the previous Christmas.
The current date was the 23rd of November, 2007 and it was near 1 in the morning. Rose was preparing a snack for John, who would be home soon.
By time John arrived at the flat, he saw Rose placing his snack on the coffee table in the living room.
"Surprise!" Rose said, greeting him with a hug and kiss. He gratefully returned both.
"Just another reason why you're amazing Rose," John said.
"If you're not too tired, we can watch a movie and sleep until noon," Rose said.
"I'd love that, but let me get into my pyjamas," John said, gesturing to his hospital scrubs. He gave her a kiss and went to his bedroom.
Rose looked at the collection of movies he had and reflected the progression of her relationship with John. 2 years ago he moved into the Powell Estate. They never really talked, just a random hi if they passed. It was a year ago when they ran into each other in a coffee shop. They ordered the same drink and reached for it at the same time. He let her have it even though it was his. That morning they talked for a while. It soon turned to a lunch date the same day. A week later they went out for a movie. That night he kissed her and asked her out. Ever since then they've been together.
"Rose?" John said as he walked in.
"Harry Potter fine?" Rose asked.
"Mhmm," John said as he ate the banana Rose put on the table for him. He picked up the blue blanket Rose had set down and covered himself and Rose.
"How was school?" John asked. He convinced Rose to go to a university to become a nurse and even showed her some things first hand, their favourite being mouth to mouth resuscitation.
"Eh, y'know, school-y," Rose joked. He chuckled and rested his head on her's. She yawned and shortly after he did.
"We're not doing good staying up, are we?" John asked. Rose shook her head, resting on his chest.
Fire. Everything was burning. He even felt like he was burning. The two hearts in his chest felt like they were being torn out of his chest. Gallifrey was burning and it was his fault.
John's eyes shot open, his breathing heavy. The wall clock read 4:07. John looked around to find that he and Rose fell asleep on the couch. He turned the TV off and gently moved Rose off of his chest. He got up and picked her up. This made her wake up.
"John?" Rose muttered.
"We're just going to my room," John said.
"You had a dream again, didn't you?" Rose asked.
"I'll tell you in the morning," John said. He always had the strangest of dreams about an adventurous man known as the Doctor. The dream that awoke him was just the latest. He told only Rose about them.
"Okay," Rose said, too tired to try and get it out of him. John laid her down and joined her in bed. "I love you."
"I love you too," John said before drifting off again.
"-that magnificent planet full of brilliant people, just dying because of me, or the Doctor. I can feel the pain deep in my chest, like my hearts are being ripped out. Oh, and I have two hearts in these dreams," John said as he and Rose sipped on coffee the next morning,
"I've done enough sleeping on your chest to confirm you only have one," Rose said, placing her mug down.
"When are we gonna tell your mum about...this?" John asked, gesturing to themselves. "We've been together for over a year and I'd love to have a real Christmas dinner with out, not just Chinese take-out on Boxing Day."
"Better than shopping with mum," Rose said, "I'm just afraid of what she'll say about you."
"Like what?" John asked.
"Just that you're older than me by ten years, which might as well be 1000 to mum," Rose sighed.
"Age is but a number my dear Rose," John said, a serious, yet funny look on his face. She couldn't help but laugh.
"We'll come around to it. She's out though, visiting some friend until tomorrow evening," Rose said. John smirked,
"So the Tyler residence is free of your mum, huh?" John said, his tone slightly seducing, "Well Miss Tyler, are you finally gonna let me have my way with you?"
"Depends Dr. Smith," Rose said, just as seducing. "Can you be a good boy until tonight?"
"For what it's worth, yeah," John said, leaning in for a kiss. Rose stood up and walked in the opposite direction.
"Until then, we can stay here and be lazy, or we can go out and do something, anything. Take your pick Johnny," Rose teased, walking into the bathroom. John sighed.
"This is gonna be a long day," he groaned.
Apparently, I'm the Queen of short chapters today :P I just REALLY wanted to post this soon. Oh, and it may be confusing at first, but I clear stuff up in the next few chapters. Feedback is nice, I wanna know how I did.
