"Hey, hey, hey, wait up!" Rose yelled breathlessly. The Doctor turned to see Rose hanging over the railing of the stairs, a few flights above him. He grinned weakly at her.
"What are you doing?" He asked her as she ran down the stairs to join him
"Coming. With. You." She replied before coming to a stop in front of him. He shook his head fondly at her.
"What?" Rose cried at him a twinkling look in her eye "If you had got lost wandering around I would never have gotten to see you again would I?"
"No, I suppose not." The Doctor pondered. "Anyhow, you can show me around."
"Yeah," Rose grinned at him grabbing his hand and pulling him down the rest of the stairs. The Doctor tried to ignore how perfectly it fit there, how even in a new body Rose seemed to be able to fit every nook and cranny of him, body and soul. He watched as she talked about London and showed him the sights and building that weren't there back on the parallel Earth.
"Come on," Rose said dropping his hand and walked forward a bit "I want to show you the Park." With that she took off at a jog moving forward quickly before turning and rushing back to him.
"Oh by the way, nice bowtie. Bowties are cool," She grinned at him before pressing a kiss to his cheek and running off. The Doctor stared after her completely baffled before grinning the biggest smile his new face had smiled. He sprinted after her, catching up with her and relishing in the feeling of running with her alongside him.
Rose came to a stop inside a huge park and the Doctor stopped beside her both them breathing heavily from the running. The park was very long and very wide, in fact it was bigger than a football pitch. Trees and wild flowers were dotted around the place and children weaved their ways in between the trees and shrubs, laughing and playing. Rose walked forward and came to a stop underneath a large oak tree. She leant her head against the bark and stretched her legs in front of her.
"This is my favourite place to sit. I used to come out here when a mission got to tough and I couldn't think of a way around it. I used to sit here and think of you, what you would do in that situation. It used to be quite helpful." She finished and smiled up at him.
The Doctor looked at her for a while before sitting himself next to her. He picked a few strand of grass from the floor and played with them in his hands.
"Why did you join Torchwood? I mean, why? You used to hate everything they stood for. Everything they did. They were the ones who separated us." The Doctor murmured slowly.
"I know. I was shocked out of my mind when John suggested it. I refused to for a long time, but the thing is Doctor I missed the excitement to much. You can't show me aliens and planets and then expect me to go back and work in a shop."
"And I thought I could change it for the better. When I told them my knowledge of the Daleks, The Shadow Proclamation... You, everything changed. Suddenly Torchwood wanted me as much as I wanted them. But I refused to work for them until they worked under my rules. It was months before they came to a decision about it, but eventually I got my way." Rose grinned at him, turning her to look at him.
"I'm sure you did," The Doctor laughed. It was a nice laugh, Rose decided. A laugh she wanted to remember.
"And you, still travelling I take it?" Rose asked knowing the answer before he spoke it.
"Yep, still travelling." The Doctor answered anticipating the next question.
"You, err, you still own your own?" Rose asked softly avoiding his gaze.
"No, I'm with erm Amy now." The Doctor answered watching Rose's face.
"Oh, Amy." Rose replied bitterly scowling a little.
"Yeah Amy... and her husband." The Doctor added.
"Her, her... husband." Rose repeated as the words sunk in "Oh you little," She reached forward and tried to slap The Doctor on the arm but he caught her hand.
"What?" The Doctor asked innocently.
"You could have mentioned that before, stopped me getting..." She trailed off and blushed.
"What?" The Doctor replied biting back a laugh "Jealous?"
"No," Rose replied too quickly, drawing out the o. She tried to pull her hand away but The Doctor stayed firm. Her intertwined their fingers and locked eyes with Rose. They stared intensely at each other, The Doctor reliving her face. The face that he had memorized so well, searching for anything new to add to the memory. Rose's eyes slowly took in The Doctors face, seeing his old self buried deep in his eyes. Even with the new eyes, new hair, new lips, ears new everything he was still him. Still her Doctor.
They both leaned forward, closing the gap between them as their lips hungrily merged together. As The Doctor bit gently on Rose's bottom lip Rose moaned and moved herself closer to him, needing to feel his body, not wanting to have any air between them. Without breaking the kiss Rose gently straddled him and pushed her body down on his. The Doctor groaned deeply in his throat as his hands tangled in her hair. After a couple more minutes Rose pulled away and stared at The Doctor.
She ran her hands over his face and relished in the feeling of his new skin. The Doctor saw Rose as his angel, his saviour. The sun behind her sent her a golden haze around her body, and with her flushed cheeks and swollen lips The Doctor thought he had never seen anything more perfect.
