The Marmalade Days
Drabble with the Doctor, Rose and marmalade
Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own Doctor Who
The Doctor lent back on one of the cabinets that lined the kitchen of the Tardis, he had his fingers in a marmalade jar groping for more of the sticky orange substance.
Rose walked into the kitchen and sighed at him like you would at a naughty child.
'If you're going to do that could you at least use a spoon?' she moaned. He glanced up at her grinning, his fingers now covered in marmalade and making their way to his mouth.
'Impairs the taste' he told her before licking the spread off his fingers, he moaned in pleasure as he ate it which sent Rose into a fit of giggles.
'Then put it on toast or something!' she scolded him still grinning. He looked up to meet her eyes, his own twinkling in delight. He sunk his fingers back into the pot
'Nope – doesn't taste the same' he told her as he swirled his fingers around trying to get a nice big lump of it.
'Well that's the last time I use any marmalade from this kitchen' she told him as she tried to find an unopened jar that she could use. Every jar she picked up had an unscrewed lid and finger marks in the top
'Can't you use one jar at a time?' she asked him exasperated. He grinned like a school boy
'Nope – the best bits at the top – I don't like the bottom' she shook her head at him and his childish ways before she leant on the cabinet next to him watching him eat the orange jam like substance. It suddenly seemed very tempting to her, she wanted to just stick her hand in and get a great lump of the zingy orangey freshness. She stared at the jar her gaze unwavering, she was sure she was drooling – very likely on the Doctors' shoe. He saw he looking and grinned, he dug his fingers into the pot and pulled them out covered in marmalade – he held them up to Rose who obliging ate it. She grinned at him and they both stuck their hands into the jar, for the marmalade days of time travel were the best days.
