Summary: "Don't make me kiss those pouty lips of yours…"


It was the sound of a rather loud sigh and shifting that caught the Doctor's attention, drawing him away from the magazine he was reading.

"Something wrong?" he inquired almost innocently, glancing over at his companion who was sitting against one of the inner walls of the TARDIS.
"Yes, the fact we are randomly floating around in time." came the blonde's answer.
"We always float ar--"
"Oh shut it. We do not usually 'float' in time. We usually zoom through it to our next destination." she interjected, glaring.
"Ah...well, not my fault the TARDIS has been having issues lately."
"Well if your ship is having issues, why aren't you fixing them?"
"I tried."
"Oh yeah, for a whole 5 seconds."

"Some things you just can't fix..." there was silence, "Rose?" more silence. With a sigh, the Doctor shut his magazine and stood. Setting the magazine on the chair, he padded over to his companion, who was glaring at the air. "Rose." once again she didn't respond. "Oh come on...you know I hate this silent treatment..." more silence Sighing once again, he crouched down beside her and grabbed her chin, gently bringing her to look at him."Ah, there, now you are glaring at the correct grouping of atoms."

Her narrowed eyes bore into him, and he weakly offered her one of his wolfish grins. "Aw come on Rose...don't look at me like that..." his brow quirked as she remained unwavering, "Don't make me kiss those pouty lips of yours." he couldn't help but smile at the sudden, confused gleam in her eyes, "Ah yes, I said it. Don't make me kiss you." she stayed silent, but her glare seemed to almost vanish.

Now this hadn't been his expected reaction. He thought she'd pull away, maybe shove him, but instead she was just watching him with those eyes...almost daring him to follow through with his threat. Almost...pleading. Without really thinking, he suddenly leaned in and simply pressed his lips against hers. The Doctor watched her eyes slide shut, and felt her return the kiss.

The moment it started though, it ended and the Doctor was up on his feet, grinning down at his dazed companion.

"I better get working. Gotta get this old hunk of metal up and running." seeming unfazed by the kiss, he meandered away.

Rose just stared after him, her fingers coming to brush over her lower lip, before she smiled.

That was her Doctor.
