AN: Hey there! So sorry for the long wait, both me and my amazing beta were on vacation and didn't have a proper internet connection, so..
This chapter is basically the fluffiest fluff you could read, so be warned ;P
P.S.: This is one of the last chapters, maybe I have one/two more
Allons-y!
The Doctor was pouring a glass of juice; the eggs were already ready on the small table in the middle the kitchen. He was whistling an happy song, his eyes focused on the orange liquid dripping from the bottle into the pink glass in his hand.
Suddenly, he felt two arms wrapping around his middle and a head laying on his back, in between his shoulder blades. After a second of stunned silence, the Doctor's pleased sigh broke through the air.
Rose's warm body pressed against his colder one and she kissed him sweetly on the shoulder, making it hard for the Doctor to suppress a alien put the glass down, then turned around in the woman's arms. Fixing his eyes in hers, he spoke in a warm, low and husky voice.
"Woman, you'll drive me insane."
Rose smiled with her tongue-in-teeth smile. The Doctor leaned forward and kissed the smile out of her face. At first Rose was caught off guard, but then she opened her mouth and kissed her Doctor back.
When they parted, they stayed with their forehead pressed together, out of breath, one of the alien's hand cupping Rose's cheek gently, the other pressing lightly at the base of her neck. Rose's hands, meanwhile, were busy playing with the hair at the base of his neck. The girl's eyes were closed, but the Doctor's were staring at her face, imprinting the softness and relaxation on her face in his memory.
"I've wanted to do that since the first time I saw that smile." he said with an even huskier voice than before.
The thumbs of his hands started stroking the soft skin of the girl, while Rose's hand enjoyed the soft texture under her fingertips. The couple stayed in that embrace for a long time (not even the Doctor with his superior Time Lord mind would have been able to tell how long), until a growl broke them apart again.
"You cooked me eggs?" Rose asked, bewildered.
"Yeah," the Doctor answered sheepishly.
"You remember my favorite breakfast?" she asked, emotion obviously present in her eyes.
Instead of answering the Doctor closed his eyes and called Rose inside his mind.
Rose found herself once again walking in the hallways of the Time Lord's mind.
"Come with me" whispered the alien, taking her hand and guiding her through the labyrinth of his mind. Rose found herself thinking about all the times the Doctor took her hand, and how almost all their most exciting and beautiful adventures started like that. Truth be told, it all started with him taking her hand. This made Rose smile uncontrollably, and the Doctor turned around, smiling too because he had heard Rose's thought. Then he turned around again, leading her towards a door, one with her name on it, written in multiple colors and a star at the end.
"What's in here?" she asked curiously.
"You'll find out when you'll open the door." he smiled gently. Noticing the girl hesitation he incited her.
"Come on!"
Rose took a deep breath and opened slowly the door. The first thing that got to her was her favorite smell. She was overwhelmed by things she loved.
On a small table there was a dish with eggs, next to a cup of her favorite herbal tea; a comfortable looking armchair with a soft lilac blanket on sat in front of an enormous window. The view outside was one of a breathtaking rainy landscape and in the background she could hear her favorite song.
The Doctor, feeling Rose's curiosity, started explaining.
"This is the room dedicated at the things you love. This is how I remember them." he said with a sweet smile.
Rose was entranced by the things that surrounded her. Looking around she noticed a room on her left with her name written in black letters.
"And what is in there?"
"That's the room of the things you hate, the ones you fear," he said patiently.
Turning right she saw another door like the first one but a different writing: her name was written in italic, with multiple colors, but instead of a star there was a "D".
Seeing where her gaze was directed, the Doctor took a deep breath to calm his nerves, then answered her unspoken question.
"There are the things I love about you," he whispered slowly, with a worried looked towards Rose and her reaction.
Rose's eyes watered and she shuddered at the tone of his voice. Slowly she walked to her door and he followed her, putting a hand on her shoulder and stopping her.
"If I were you I wouldn't open it," he warned her.
"Why?" she asked, a little hurt because she thought the room was empty since the Doctor didn't want to show it to her.
The Doctor smiled knowingly but a bit sheepishly.
"Because things would fall on you because of how full it is..."
Rose was surprised of the alien's answer and couldn't believe him.
"R-really?"
The Doctor put a hand on her cheek and smiled sweetly. "Do you think I would lie to you?"
"No," instantly came the answer.
The Doctor's smile widened and he kissed her forehead, letting a hand slide from her cheek to one of her hands, taking it in his and putting it against the door.
"Can you feel the pressure from the other side?"
Rose, with her hand trapped between the door and the Doctor's hand, felt the pressure that was on the wooden surface, like a full wardrobe ready to open.
"You love so many things about me?" she whispered, her voice emotional.
"Of course I do! I...I love your smile, your smell, your voice, your eyes, your personality, but also the way your hand feel in mine, how you fit in my arms..."
Rose shut the Doctor up with a kiss, happily, feeling loved.
After a sweet kiss, Rose sank in the alien's arms.
"Breakfast?" she whispered on his shoulder.
The Doctor laughed and kissed her hair, then parted and they opened their eyes to the TARDIS' walls. Then he took out the chair for the girl and she sat, smiling, and started to eat. The Time Lord sat in front of her and started eating too, taking her hand over the surface of the table and smiled, one of his rare real smiles.
You know what would make me REALLY happy? A review!
