Back in the TARDIS (after the Doctor got chewed out by my parents) I sat with the Doctor on a bed in one of the many rooms. We just sat their in each others arms for a long while.
"What all did you do while I was gone?" He asked.
"I started painting. Apparently i'm pretty good at it. I moved around a lot." I told him.
"Really?"
"Yea. I didn't want anyone to notice how I didn't grow old. I never moved to far. Just far enough to where no one would recognize me."
"Did you...did you ever...find someone else?"
"Never. I didn't even consider it."
"You were alone?"
"Yes."
His hold got tighter around me.
"My poor Riley Pond. I'm sorry."
"I forgive you."
We sat their a while longer. A red flicker caught my attention. It was my necklace. it was flickering from red and purple.
"Doctor? What's happening?" I asked surprised.
"Well...it's no ordinary crystal on a string, Riley. It's kind of like a mood necklace...for two people." He tried explaining.
I gave him a confused look.
"It connects two people's emotions the second it's put on." The Doctor said, "For example...uh...the person wearing it, and the person who put it on them."
"So our emotions are connected?" I asked.
"In a way. When I first put it on you it turned light blue. I was feeling guilty you were sad. Then it was purple. I was feeling love and you were still a little sad." He said.
"What about when it keeps changing colors?" I said watching the necklace flicker.
"We are both feeling love, which is red, but you are still sad. Even if you don't think so."
I nodded. We both moved to lay down next to each other. My head rested on the Doctor's chest, and my legs were intertwined with his. His arms were wrapped around me and his head rested on a pillow. It was a rare moment when he didn't have on his signature bow tie or his tweed jacket. His sleeves were rolled up and his muscles were very noticeable.
"I love you." I said without thinking.
It was silent for a few moments before I was pulled up to meet his lips in a kiss.
"I love you more." He said when we pulled apart.
We kissed again. more passionate than the last time. Most people would describe this kiss as sexy and there would be tongues fighting for dominance, but that is not true. It was awkward and clumsy. So basically everything the Doctor is with intimate situations. But it was also perfect. I didn't need a necklace to know what the Doctor was feeling. He put everything into that kiss.
Some how I ended up on my back and the Doctor was above me.
Smexy time later...maybe ;)
