Chapter 2: the Reunion

Previously

'I won't let you go again without saying it, I swore to myself I wouldn't… Rose Tyler-'

Now

Everyone drew in a breath, waiting for the one thing they'd never heard him say before to anyone, the intensity of the last few minutes and the passion in his voice leaving some of them (in other words the girls) trying to catch their breath.

But before he could say it Rose held up her hand in a gesture to halt him and softly said 'no.'

Everyone stared in utter disbelief, stunned while the Doctor looked hurt and confused, obviously unable to understand such an order coming from her.

Rose smiled gently in reassurance before taking a deep breath. 'I don't think I could stand not being able to touch you when you finally say it Doctor,' she half whispered, 'not now that we have a choice,' before turning hurriedly away from the computer and walking out of the room.

The Doctor grinning again and also disappeared.

Rose stood on the outside of the doorstep, waiting. Her eyes darted over everything in the deserted street, skipping over the destruction and looking for the familiar and painfully missed blue police box, ears listening intently for the greatest sound in the universe.

She was faintly aware of the presence of Donna's family just behind her, waiting eagerly for her arrival but couldn't bring herself to care or be embarrassed that her and the Doctor would have yet another audience, she knew they would be preoccupied with welcoming her back anyway.

After that thought and not even a full minute of waiting there it was, materializing at the end of the street. She stopped everything; she stopped shifting from foot to foot, stopped fidgetting with her hands and biting her nails in anxiety that came with being away from him, she stopped breathing.

In the same second that the machine stopped shimmering in and out of existence (or so it seemed) they could see a red-headed woman being pushed gently but urgently towards the street outside, making her stumble just slightly, followed by the one person Rose knew she could never again live without.

When he saw her he stopped pushing Donna, who couldn't find it in herself to be annoyed when he was the happiest she had ever seen him, and simply stared at her for a second before spurring into motion.

She started running, dropping her gun onto the asphalt so that she could sprint faster towards him as he did the same, the wide grin she loved so much planted firmly on his face, a bubble of ecstatic laughter bubbling in her throat. She saw from the distance his smile widen even further when she let it loose... he always did like it when she laughed.

Neither of them saw the extreme joy on Donna's face; neither of them saw her features shift into those of horror when a Dalek rounded the corner and turned to face them, pointing its laser at the Doctor; neither noticed when Jack teleported in at just the right second and blew its top off and neither of them cared about anything else as Rose leapt into his arms, legs leaving the ground as he lifted her, playfully swinging her from side to side as they squeezed each other so tight they could barely breath, both making noises at the force of impact and giggling like schoolkids when they finally made the contact they so desperately wished for after so long.

As she stopped swinging neither let go, both afraid that when they did they would wake up from this dream they both had a million times before but realizing that their arms around each other had never felt quite as real or as strong or as perfect until now.

The Doctor buried his face in her neck and hair, breathing in her scent, committing it to memory and felt even more tears pool in his eyes out of joy, his hearts beating erratically as his breath was taken away by the extreme pleasure and contentment consuming his whole body at feeling her so close again.

She wrapped her legs loosely around his so that they were intimately entwined, her feet never touching the ground as her fingers combed through his still perfect and wonderful hair as she pressed her body even closer, lightly gasping air into her lungs.

Suddenly he couldn't resist and with her smell intoxicating him and all around him, the feel of her body as close and pressed up against him he allowed himself to be weak, just this once. In an almost unnoticeable move he finally let his emotions take control of his actions. He tilted his face towards her and ever so slightly pressed his lips against the nape of her neck. He suppressed a shudder of his own when he felt her shiver in response to his unexpected touch, her arms tightening around him just a fraction and tilting her head infinitesimally in invitation.

He lowered her back to the ground, taking a tiny step forward, not allowing any space to come between them while he cupped one side of her head in one hand, the other wrapped securely around her waist, and again lowering his head to the other, placing another light kiss in the same spot, relishing in her taste.

Rose tried to control her breathing and suppress the gasps that waited to escape her as every one of his kisses sent an electric shock through her entire body, her whole being still in somewhat of a shock that he had actually made the first move. But she found herself unable to hold back as he kissed her two more times, no more than a brush of his lips against her skin with the tiniest and most torturous amount of pressure.

Then he pulled back slightly he heard her moan and whimper of protest and smiled as he cupped her face between both of his hands to hold her away, although it pained him to do so.

She still had her eyes closed, relishing the sensation of his every touch. She felt his thumbs tenderly stroking her cheeks as her own hands slid from his back to clutching at the collar of his coat, desperately trying to pull him closer.

'Rose,' he demanded softly, 'look at me.' And she did, of course she did because she would never live without the sight of his amazing face again if she didn't have to. And at that moment, she definitely didn't have to.

He continued caressing her face gently, leaning closer so that his lips were a mere inch from hers. 'Rose Tyler,' the Time Lord said quietly, pausing in anticipation of knowing nothing would stop the words escaping him this time. 'I love you,' he whispered and no truer words had ever passed from his lips he thought as his mouth finally collided with hers, savoring the taste of her lips to remember it forever and thinking that he might go insane if he ever had to go a day without her and this again.

Her arms pulled him closer by his jacket before slipping over his shoulders and into his hair again. She moaned into his mouth as they deepened the kiss, his tongue sliding against hers erotically, without hesitance, in perfect rhythm and his arms clasping tightly around her waist, not leaving a breath of air between their bodies as she stood on her tip-toes to push even more towards him.

He released her mouth and kissed a trail down her neck quickly, needing to feel and flavor of her skin against his impatient lips for a second time.

'Oh God,' she murmured in a moan, her head falling back to encourage him, her hand on the back of his head urging him for more pressure as he nipped gently at her skin, before the need for him overtook her and she pulled his head back to hers and connected their lips once more.

He growled into her mouth, a sound that made an intense and warm feeling flow throughout her, making her entire being tingle in anticipation as he kissed her harder, hands going to her hips to pull her to him tightly, loving the friction between them and the quiet noises he could hear emitting from her.

Finally they both needed to breathe, his respiratory by-pass system not doing much good at standing up to the passion of the moment. He slowed the kiss, pressing his lips to her cheek and neck and sliding his arms back around behind her waist, pulling her into a familiar, if not slightly more intimate, hug, clutching at her fiercely, feeling her cling to him with just as much desperation.

'Rassilon, I love you so much Rose,' he murmured into her neck, reveling in the fact he could finally say those words to her as many times as he wanted.

When she responded her voice was shaky with emotion as she caught her breath. 'I love you to my Doctor… forever yeah?' and he thought those were the most beautiful words he had ever heard, surprising himself by loving the possession in her voice as she called him hers. Yes, he thought I'll be yours Rose, only you.

'Forever,' he murmured back at her, their old promise that meant even more now than it ever had before, because now they knew what it was to have that forever ripped harshly away from them and they knew within themselves, without any doubt at all, neither would survive being taken away from the other again.

'Sorry to interrupt but we do have a world to save,' Donna's voice broke through their cocoon suddenly and unexpectedly, both forgetting they had an audience as they were thrown back into reality.

The Doctor reluctantly pulled away from Rose but grabbed her hand tightly in his own, needing the physical contact to keep him sane enough to fight the Daleks yet again, knowing she was thinking the same as she stepped into his side and wrapped her other hand around the top of his arm.

'Right. Of course. Sorry!' the Doctor said, back to his old self as a bright, almost blinding, smile graced his features as they turned to face Donna and Jack who were now standing in the doorway to the Noble household with her relatives. 'Allon-sy!'

A/N So I hope you all liked this, I really have no idea what kind of a response I'll get from it but please be kind if you do review, which I really really hope you do :D I know the Doctor very forward and he would pretty much never actually do that but it just came to me and i had to write it down like that.
