Day Two: Cuddling
Woman Wept
Author's Note: Not much cuddling for day two, it's at the end. But I don't expect the Ninth Doctor to be the cuddling type and I always wanted to write something for when they visited Woman Wept. Please enjoy and give reviews please, it would be helpful. This the Ninth Doctor and Rose.
Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who, or my fantastic otp. So horrible.
"How cold is it going to be?"
"The more clothes you put on the better."
Rose nods and walks back to the tardis closet. The Doctor turns back around with a smile on his lips. He has a feeling Rose is going to love Woman Wept. A whole planet frozen to the core. The planet had two suns but one sun went super nova a long time ago, leaving the other sun left. Without two suns the planet froze, being made of mostly water it was easy to be frozen altogether. Some waves froze over causing a beautifully sight of large iced statues of waves over hundreds of feet high. She'll love it. He hasn't drove them there yet. He knew that Rose likes watching him drive the tardis. She was always so concentrated on all his movements like she was trying learn how to drive it. Not like she could just by watching, most of the things on the console are multi-purpose. He never thought of teaching her how to drive the tardis but the thought has come up. Maybe one day he will. He heard foot steps behind him and glances over to see Rose dressed up for the coldness. She is wearing a puffy pink jacket, zipped up to her colorful fluffy scarf. She is also wearing dark blue jeans with furry brown boots.
"I never felt more comfortable walking. What are these boots made of," Rose asks as she walks up to The Doctor's side.
He looks at her, "Made out of trees from Geeri. Don't worry though about the people there cutting them down. They only live for a day before falling to the ground. Many Geerions use the fur on the trees for clothing and other things."
She looks up in thought, "Trees with fur…" She looks at The Doctor, "So the Geerions have to keep planting trees everyday so they don't run out?"
The Doctor shakes his head, "When the trees fall they produce seedlings before dying. They plant themselves. Geeri being a rather cold planet the trees are good for the Geerions."
Rose smiles, "That's good for the Geerions." She then looks at her feet and moves them around, "And for me."
The Doctor smiles before looking back at the console. He starts the tardis up, his mind fills up with her song. He looks at Rose who is already holding onto the console. She grins at him, quietly saying she's ready for a bumpy ride. The Doctor nods and starts driving the tardis. The tardis shakes and they hold on for their lives.
Rose was ready. With everything she's seen before, she has always been ready for what was outside the tardis doors. The Doctor opens up the doors and goes out. Rose follows. Okay, maybe she wasn't always ready for what's outside the tardis doors. She gasps. In front of her is a whole ice land. It reminds of reading about the ice age in school. How everything was frozen. She shivers as she feels the wind pick up. She wishes she was the trees from Geeri but she had a feeling they would still be cold as well. Rose walks to The Doctor's side, "It's amazing."
The Doctor looks out, "Truly is."
Rose takes The Doctor's hand without knowing she did. The Doctor perks up at how cold Rose's hand is already. He digs in his pockets. When he pulls his hand out, he's got nothing. He hoped he had gloves in his pockets but he hoped wrong. He looks back at Rose, who's still looking out at the frozen planet. She then looks over at him and smiles excitingly, "Let's go look around." The Doctor nods. They both start walking, hand in hand.
"The planet's called Woman Wept," The Doctor says.
"Why," Rose asks as she looks around at all the waves above them. Her heart raced a bit because the waves looked like they would crash down on them any minute.
"The land were standing on is shaped like a grieving woman," The Doctor answers and continues, "The planet being mostly water, people call the waters her tears." The Doctor felt grief for a second before it disappeared. "Many tourists used to came here to surf among the waves and lay on the beaches," The Doctor takes a look around at the waves.
"How did it freeze over," Rose asks and looks at The Doctor.
"This planet used to have two suns but when one sun went super nova it left one sun to heat up the planet," The Doctor looks up at the sun as Rose did the same. The one sun didn't shine brightly enough to hurt their eyes. "This sun is weak, doesn't heat up as well as two of them. Woman Wept froze over after some time, making it inhabitable. Tourists stopped coming. Now it's an empty planet. No people just ice."
"No wonder why the planet weeps," Rose looks over at The Doctor, "It's all alone."
The Doctor looks at her, "You can say that."
"But now it has us," Rose smiles, her eyes smiling with.
"Yeah," The Doctor says, his hearts beat a tiny bit harder as he looks at Rose.
Rose looks up at him. She becomes warmer from his gaze.
They both smile before looking forward again. They walk awhile longer, each careful with each step, not wanting to slip. Even being careful with her somewhat slick boots Rose slips and falls. The Doctor wasn't ready and is dragged down with. She lands with a thud, another thud was heard besides her. She sits up with a groan. The Doctor is by her side, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Rose winces as she touches her side, "Might have a bruise tomorrow, nothing bad."
"I have medicine back in the tardis to help bruising," he helps her up to her feet.
Rose takes a quick look around before nodding.
The Doctor watches her, making sure she could walk, and they walk back to the tardis.
The Doctor has Rose on the couch in the library. The fire place in front of her is lit up. She had changed into more comfortable clothes after taking a hot shower. She's wrapped up in a fuzzy dark blue blanket. Her legs curled up underneath her. She's has a hot cup of tea and is sleepily listening to The Doctor read a book. She just listens to the tone of his voice, the way it sways back and forth from different voices he reads. She sets down her tea and moves over to The Doctor. She lays her head on his shoulder. Rose doesn't feel him tense up at the sudden touch. She looks at the book he's reading, only seeing a blur of words. The Doctor stops reading and looks down at her, forgetting that most of the medicine he keeps in the med bay causes drowsiness. Especially the one he gave her for her side. He feels her breathing relax and her arms wrap around him. He moves slightly to give her room. He doesn't know what to do. It is an unexpected action he didn't think of happening with her. She's cuddling with him. He doesn't think to give back the same action instead he wraps one arm around her shoulders and continues to read. He'll be gone before she wakes. He thinks they could do this more often but doesn't think about it till later. Until he's a new man.
