Written for my prompt table of Jack fics in doctorwho100 (link in my profile)
Rating
– The first one is R, the following ones are K+
Summary – Jack and
Rose have one adventure too many and now they may just have to pay
the price.
Disclaimer – Not
mine.
Note – I feel guilty
because this isn't a real fic, it's five drabbles. I may in the
future expand them into five 1000 word fics, but we'll see. Each
one is exactly 100 words – proper drabbles.

Prompt – 041: Human.
Oxygen burns in his lungs as his body surges into the soft flesh trapped between him and the wardrobe wall. Legs wrap around his waist, urging him deeper, harder, so he obeys.
They hadn't meant for this to happen, didn't want this to happen, but as the Doctor is so fond of pointing out, they are human – slaves to their bodies needs and lusts. In a situation like on the TARDIS with tension levels so high, it's hardly surprising that they would eventually give in.
Later, in the control room, cleaned and dressed, neither of them meet the Doctor's eyes.

Prompt – 015: Fear
"Your fault," she hisses to Jack, as the Doctor examines some important historical statue.
"Not just mine," he answers in an undertone. "You kissed me."
"You promised I wouldn't—!"
"No, I said the chances were less than one in ten thousand."
"Congratulations. You've just beaten the odds."
He feels guilty: this is much bigger for her than for him. "We don't know for sure."
She just shakes her head, biting her lip.
"Oi, you two, hurry up!" The Doctor's impatient, unaware of their discussion, staring in surprise as Rose flees back to the TARDIS, Jack hard on her heels.

Prompt – 082: If
Everything they need is in the TARDIS infirmary, and they choose a moment when the Doctor is happily occupied – and will be for hours – under the consol. Jack wasn't invited to help, because the Time Lord correctly guessed that Jack was the source of Rose's earlier upset. However, to Jack's relief, the Doctor doesn't yet know why.
A prick of Rose's finger is all it takes, and the small instrument blinks for a second, two, before revealing its answer. Shaking and voiceless, Jack passes the results to a frightened Rose, more than a little surprised when she bursts into tears.

Prompt – 060: Relief
Later, he brings her a cup of tea. Not his first choice of drink, but he knows she likes it, especially after a tough day.
She accepts it with thanks, and after a moment of silence, he shifts uncomfortably.
"I thought you'd be relieved."
"I am. It's just it was so big – I was so afraid. It was just a shock, y'know?"
