Rory watched the doctor talking to Kisa, his hand on her back, other hand in the air pointing to stars. They looked so close. As they probably were. They had traveled together since a little after Amy and he had joined the doctor, and even after they left. She has more time with him than most. The questions he had to ponder were what was their relationship? Would it affect his and Kisa's? Was there a relationship between he and Kisa?
"Rory, why don't you come join in the lesson?" the doctor called.
Rory stepped forward and the doctor put his arm around him.
"We were just talking about Jupiter," the doctor said.
"What about it?"
"The red spot, how it came to be," the doctor replied.
"And how's that?"
"Well, a species of alien tried to harness the planet, and instead of harnessing it, created the massive storm, and were killed," the doctor said.
"But doctor, you just said-"
"Shh Kisa, I'm talking," the doctor said.
She glared at him and Rory couldn't help but laugh. Her mad face was too cute. Her gaze sliced over to him and he gulped. What did he do now?
"And you, what are you laughing at?" she asked.
"Nothing, promise," he said, raising his hands.
"I say we grab a bite to eat and then leave," Kisa said.
She pulled herself from the doctor, as did Rory, and stretched, exposing a sliver of her back to the world. Rory wanted to touch the soft skin but restrained himself to looking.
"Where to?" the doctor asked.
"I know this great deli," Kisa said, "It's been here for years, they have the best ham sandwiches," she said, grabbing a hand of each man.
Rory and the doctor met eyes and Rory felt an understanding come over him. They were equally important to her, no one more wanted than the other. Rory looked down at the girl leading them and a smile slipped onto his face. He could handle this.
.
Kisa slapped Rory hard on the arm.
"What? I'm just asking," he said defensively.
"What do you take me for, a whore?!" she shouted.
"No!" he yelled.
He groaned and covered his face. He heard her move and hands grabbed his, pulling them from his face.
"Rory, I like you a lot, I wasn't just using you for a one night fling, I'd like for us to continue, and not just as sex partners, but as lovers, and maybe more," she said, her voice sounding unsure, "But there's something that might stand in the way."
"What?" he asked.
He felt dread coming over him as she looked over at the doctor.
"I want him too," she said softly, "Would that be a problem?"
"You want us both?" he asked.
She nodded.
"I mean, not at the same time, but some nights I'd spend with you, others with him," she explained, "I'm sorry, but I didn't want to lie to you."
He contemplated the situation in his head. Could he live with knowing she was having sex with the doctor too? Could he handle her being with both of them?
"What does the doctor say?"
"He doesn't care who I sleep with, it's not like we're in a relationship or anything," she said.
"Do you want to be?"
"What? In a relationship with the doctor?" she asked, surprised.
He nodded.
"I never thought about it, I've just accepted the fact we were lovers and nothing more," she said, "Like I said though, I really like YOU Rory."
"But you want to continue sleeping with him?"
She nodded.
"There's something the doctor has about him that makes everything unique with him, like you," she said with a soft smile.
"I don't know, I have my pride," he said.
Her face fell and he let a smile finally come onto his face.
"Just kidding Kisa, I think this could work," he said.
Relief flooded her features and she jumped into his arms.
"Ah, decided have we?" the doctor asked.
"You told him?!" Rory asked.
She blushed but nodded.
"There's no secrets here, no embarrassment between anyone," she said.
The doctor smiled and walked down to them.
"I'm glad you chose that path, Kisa here was really worried," the doctor said, patting Kisa's shoulder.
Kisa stomped on his foot and Rory noticed a look of pain on the doctor's face.
"Well then, I've planned a trip to Amsterdam for us, how does that sound?" the doctor asked.
"Really?! What era?" Kisa asked, turning around to face him.
Rory took that chance to check out her round bottom. It was just so perfect in her jeans, round and soft. He shook his head and the doctor met his eyes, winking. Rory blushed slightly and looked away.
"This era, there's something I wanted to show you," he said.
Kisa jumped up and down in excitement and squealed.
"Yay! Thank you doctor!" she cheered.
Rory smiled at her enthusiasm and came forward.
"Just what are we going to see doctor?" Rory asked.
"You'll see," the doctor replied ominously.
