I ONLY OWN THE OC'S THAT I CREATED! HANDS OFF IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE THROWN INTO THE VOID! THANK YOU! :)

Hello everyone! Yes! I have updated and let me say, things are heating up! First, I just wanted to write Rose's and the Doctor's POV first before Third Person to get their views and because I haven't done theirs in a while. Also have you heard about David Tennant's new short film called, "96 Ways to Say I Love You"!? The short film is produced by Georgia Moffett who also plays the part of Olive. She also seems to be the love interest of David's character! I can't wait but a release date hasn't been confirmed yet. Was supposed to be shown at a film festival next week but was withdrawn by the filmmakers sadly. Sorry for the long A/N but thank you so much for reading, I appreciate it! So without further ado... ENJOY! :)

Chapter 25: You Know I Love You, Let Me Show You

Rose Tyler's POV

Now the Doctor can be a lot of things but romantic is not one of them. At least that's what I thought when I first met him. When he wore black leather and his ears were...

Well anyways, he did a fine job at hiding his romantic side from me. And for a long time, I thought "The Oncoming Storm" didn't have room for love in his hearts, despite being equipped with two. Telling myself he wasn't staring at me that way or hugging a little longer than necessary. But the day has finally arrived.

The Doctor was madly in love. And with me.

Now about how I feel him is complicated. Now being a young adult, I have had my share of boyfriends but never this serious.

I've been in a few relationships, Jimmy Stone, Mickey... And they all failed, miserably I might add. I still consider Mickey a great friend so that relationship didn't turn sour. But Jimmy however... I have no idea how on God's green earth on why I dated that creep. Or why me mum didn't beat the crap out of 'im when she had the chance.

So after many years of love and heartbreak, the Doctor might be the one to heal me. Finally I feel that I can commit to someone wholeheartedly and expect them to reciprocate.

I'm still not one hundred percent sure if the local fairytale is true but it shouldn't hurt to try. And for the Doctor, I'll do anything if it means I can man I love for the longest time possible.

My clever, passionate Doctor.

The Doctor's POV

Right now, my mind is going in a million directions. Incredibly enough, they all end with Rose. Something about that pink and yellow human ceases to amaze me.

Her compassion, her wit, the way she smiles... I can count more reasons of why I love her than they are stars in the sky. Everyday I find more reasons on why she is the most perfect and important human in my (long) life.

After many years of travelling and saving defenceless races from their oppressors, you get tired. Tired of the pointless killings, injustice and cruelty. My life has become a deep dark pit of disappointment and regret.

Until, a bright and naïve girl came and changed it all, made me better.

Rose.

But that's the thing. The kicker. Rose was naïve. Rose was untainted by all that happens in the galaxy everyday while the rest of Earth goes on with their short lives. The one thing I never want to happen to Rose is still a reality.

I could corrupt my pink and flower shop girl with my lifestyle. Adventure by day, and life-threatening danger by night. The line between right and wrong is blurred. Rose knew this when she decided to come away with me. But I love her too much to just lose her. Or worse...

I could be holding her lifeless body in my hands again. Except she could be dead, permanently.

Even if my ingenious plan proves to fail, Rose would get the message I was trying to come across. That I love her so immensely that this experience today will become a symbol of our undying love.

Cheesy I know. Just regenerate me already.

But we should shift soon, it's getting late. Sort of forgot the sun sets in irregular intervals in this part of the solar system. My bad!

Third Person's POV

The Doctor hands over one of the smooth rainbow rocks to Rose. She slightly smiles to the Doctor, noticing how sweaty the rock was. "The poor man was nervous", thought Rose.

"Ah Doctor, no need to be nervous. If it works or not we can't be sure, right?", assured Rose.

"Of course we wouldn't know until we get separated somehow but for now, yes we don't know," the Doctor said matter-of-factly.

"And by the way," que knee-breaking grin, "I was a bit hot around the collar, not nervous. But my rugged looks tend to have that effect so I don't blame you," said the Doctor cheekily while playing with his collar.

"Oh, I bet you do, Doctor. But this'll be the last time I fuss over you," hearing this made the Doctor chuckled. Rose grinned and so did he.

"That's nice to hear. Then I won't fuss over you. You can forget romantic dinners, foot rubs or anything!"

Rose started to worry unnecessarily. "Doctor, you know I was just joshing around, right?" The Doctor can evidently see the worry in her eyes so he decides to change the subject.

"Joshing around. That's practically in my job description," joked the Timelord. "But," said the Doctor on a serious note, "we have to get a move on soon or we'll miss the Akarso's vigil," reminded the Doctor.

"Yeah. Almost forgot about 'em for a second," half-joked Rose. The Doctor could easily see the pain and sadness behind her eyes.

"Remember, there was nothing we could have done, OK? Just live everyday for them. Remember, their sacrifice was and will not be in vain," spoke the Doctor softly. He gathers Rose in his lanky arms and holds her there for a minute.

With her hands on her chest, Rose looks up at the Doctor and speaks. "Without the Arkarso, we would never had the chance to be together. There is no way I could forget them."

The Doctor lightly chuckles before he leans in to peck Rose gently on the lips.

While still in each others arms, they skip the smooth rainbow-colored rocks together into the calm river.

And with that finally done, they quietly, and contently make their way back to the TARDIS. As Rose chatted away about what she was going to wear, the Doctor couldn't help think about something.

They crashed land on Eterno Fiori as platonic friends and will leave as a couple.

Nothing warmed the Doctor's hearts more than this one thought.

Wow! How cute are Rose and the Doctor!? Anyways, please remember to comment, favourite, whatever! I'll give you a cookie and a virtual hug!
