A/N: thank you so much to reviewers, it really inspires me to keep writing. Anyway, I don't own Doctor Who, blah blah blah…
Doctor's POV
She ran out of the TARDIS before I could grab my coat. It was summer, but still, I had to look good. I leaned against the now closed door of the TARDIS and watched her for a while. She was beautiful. The sunlight bounced off her golden hair.
"Welcome, Rose Tyler, to New New York. Well, it's actually the 15th New York since the original, so its New New New…"
"What's that smell? It's kinda fruity, like apples…"she cut me off. Just as well, I could tell I would be very talkative in this regeneration. I reached down and plucked some of the fine, springy applegrass that grew beneath our feet.
"Applegrass," I said, her shocked face made me smile.
I had been thinking for a while about what she said in the TARDIS, about our first date… I pushed it out of my mind as she sat down and removed her shoes and socks. I was about to ask her why she was doing that when she leaped up and started running around the field. I kicked off my new trainers and chased after her. This was fun, but when it got to be too hot and she took off her jacket, all I could think about was how tight her shirt was across her chest. I removed my coat and spread it on the ground to make a blanket for us to lie on.
We started talking of New Earth, I said, "We came to a New Earth for a New New Doctor!"
She laughed. It reminded me how much I loved her. This was a perfect moment and I didn't want to ruin it, but I couldn't help it. I rolled onto my side, leaning on my elbow as I looked down on her, smiling.
"What?" she asked, still laughing.
This was it, would she reciprocate my feelings or would she like the old me better? I leaned forward and brushed my lips against hers. For a second, I thought she would slap me, probably harder than her mother would. But then, just before I pulled away, she threw her arms around my neck and pulled me in for a more passionate kiss. This was unexpected, she seemed so tense in the TARDIS, like she didn't know how to act around me. She ran her fingers through my hair, I involuntarily moaned at this. She pulled off my jacket and I had to sit up slightly. When she took off my tie, I realized where this was going. I saw all the different scenarios in my head, I had too many enemies, I was too old, there was no good ending. I had to stop it, no matter how much I didn't want to.
"Rose, what are we doing? You're human, and I'm a Time Lord. There isn't a happy ending to this. We really- " she stopped me with a kiss. Her lips never left mine as she said, "You talk too much,"
I couldn't help but smile as I kissed her. I needed her closer, I placed my hands on her back and pulled her close, making sure she would never get away. I realized she was wearing far too many clothes, the temperature was rising, I began undoing each button in turn, slowly, feeling every inch of skin that became exposed. I noticed then, that she was struggling to unbutton my own shirt. I laughed inside and helped her. When our hands met, our fingers intertwined. I removed her shirt and she mine. I quickly undid the clasp of her bra, so as not to worry about it later. She immediately removed it. I kissed her collarbone and worked my way up her neck and returned to her lips.
I grabbed my jacket so we'd be covered if an unwanted visitor arrived… Minutes after doing this, someone cleared their throat behind us. We froze, our lips still locked, but eyes wide. I couldn't help but laugh. I rolled off of Rose, made sure she was still covered by my jacket, and leaped to my feet. It was colder now, without a shirt and away from the heat of Rose's body. But, we could get into a lot of trouble here. I had to think quickly, of course, I always do.
"Hello, officer. How can we help you?"
"Are you aware you are in public view?" The officer said
"I guess we are, didn't notice we were being watched".
"Yes, and are you aware there are laws about being intimate on city property?"
"Well, you see I just recently bought this particular patch of land from the city, so it's now private property belonging to me, Dr. John Smith. I can show you the deed if you'd like." I turned to Rose, asking for the psychic paper. I had gotten a message on it earlier that day; I could only hope that it was gone now. The police officer looked over the paper and I reassured Rose with a wink. The officer returned the paper to me; I slipped it into my pocket.
"Well, everything seems to be in order, umm, I just have to ask you to be a bit more careful and uh… please move this somewhere more, um, private. Put up some walls or something, please"
"Oh, yes, officer. We will, don't you worry!" I called as he walked away. I returned to our make-shift blanket and Rose began to laugh, I joined her. It had been a very close call. I kissed her once more and whispered in her ear, "We'd better get dressed. We have somewhere to be."
I handed her her bra and shirt and helped her get dressed without exposing herself. As I put on my own shirt and retied my tie, she asked me where exactly we were going. We put on our respected jackets and I said, ""I got a message on the psychic paper. Ward 26. Have I ever told you that hospitals creep me out?"
She laughed, having no idea how serious I was being. I took her hand in my own and we ran toward the hospital. As we reached the doors, she giggled and muttered, "You'll have to go shirtless more often."
I laughed, knowing we had all the time in the universe. "I don't want to be late! Allons-y!"
Meanwhile, in Ward 26, the Face of Boe looked out the window to see The Doctor and Rose running toward the hospital, thinking It's good to see you, my friends before drifting off to sleep again.
