"There he goes again! Running off with some mysterious blonde just like with River." Amy frowned crossing her arms.
"He seems to like her, Amy." Rory tried to console her.
"He doesn't just like her. He's in love with her." Jack corrected.
"What?" Amy asked in confusion.
"The Doctor, he's in love with her. Trust me, I know."
"Because you three go back?" Ianto questioned earning a nod from Jack.
"If he loves her then why did she leave him? Why did you leave him? He was so lonely when I met him." Amy frowned her tone clearing conveying that she accused both jack and Rose of abandoning the timelord.
"It's complicated." Jack replied.
"Speaking of complicated Jack you do still owe me that explanation." Ianto reminded.
"Of course." Jack agreed his hands placed on Ianto's shoulder. He kissed Ianto's cheek. "We'll talk in my room, I assume it's still here somewhere."
"You think the Doctor got rid of it?" Ianto asked in surprise.
"He doesn't tend to keep rooms he doesn't need." Jack replied as he lead Ianto up the stairs.
"Well worse comes to worse we could always just talk in the hall." Ianto suggested.
"No, my rooms better, more privacy, and trust me you're going to want privacy." Jack told him.
-meanwhile with Rose and the Doctor-
"I cannot believe you kept the swimming pool in the library!" Rose laughed as the Doctor shut the library doors leaning against them as he panted.
"Yes, well what's a pool without a library? You can't have a library without a pool that would just be ridiculous. Pools were made for libraries and I know a slitheen who would definitely agree." The Doctor shook his head clapping his hands together. "But that is a story for another time, Rose Tyler are you ready for your surprise?"
"I think so." Rose smiled thrilled at the idea of a present from the Doctor. How long had it been since she had gotten one of those?
"Good, now give me your knife." The Doctor pointed to her pocket.
"What?" Rose asked confused.
"The knife in your pocket, little switch blade with a pink strip down the side, possibly still having some dried on blood, gimme." The Doctor told her holding out his hand.
"But why do you want-"
"If you want your present you'll do what I say." The Doctor told her. "Cmon, hand it over."
Rose shifted uncomfortably for a moment trying to figure out what in all of the cosmos the Doctor could want it for, but she couldn't think of anything. After all the doctor hated knives though not as much as he hated guns. She hesitantly passed it over to him before he could ask again. The Doctor grinned in victory before chucking the knife into the fireplace.
"Doctor!" Rose snapped enraged rushing past him to the fireplace only to see her beloved knife was already melting away. She winced her nose scrunching. She loved that switch blade.
"Now, now calm down. Only an idiot carries around a knife and you, Rose Tyler aren't an idiot. I was rectifying a situation." The Doctor explained walking behind her placing his hands gently on her shoulders.
"That was my only way to summon, Bad Wolf." Rose glared. "I loved that knife, now I've gotta get a new one."
"No, you don't. What you think slicing your hand open with a silly little knife is the only way to get her to come out? I don't think so. Besides, Rose Tyler, this is my hand holding hand, I can't just keep letting you slice it open, it's far too important." The Doctor took said hand in his bringing her fingers to his lips placing a gently kiss there.
"Well, What other way is there?" Rose questioned.
"Close your eyes." The Doctor told her.
"But-" Rose went to object.
"Trust me." The Doctor asked turning her around to face him.
Rose took a breath and closed her eyes. She listened intently as she felt the Doctor's hands slide off her shoulders. She heard him ruffle through his pockets and mutter something that sounded gallifreyan.
"Did you just swear?" Rose questioned unable to hide her grin of amusement.
"No, yes, maybe, never repeat that, nasty word. Now shh, I'm searching." The Doctor told her and Rose bit back another giggle the best she could. Finally the noise stopped so he must have found what he had been searching for.
"Okay, open!" The Doctor told her his voice leaking with excitement. Rose did so only to be greeted with the Doctor holding up a silver tube like thing with copper wiring wrapped around it. It has a gold chain connected at the side of the device that looked somewhat like an antenna. The middle of the device was clear and then above it was nothing but gold.
"Alright, I give up, What am I looking at?" Rose questioned raising an eyebrow.
"Sonic screwdriver." The Doctor grinned pressing a button on the side. The middle of the device and the tip glowing with a pink light.
"Seriously?" Rose questioned. "But I couldn't have been gone that long."
"Are you doubting my brilliance? Well, if you don't want it I can always give it to Amy, River oh! maybe Sarah Jane gallifrey knows she -"
"No! No, way. Give it here. I want my present, Doctor. No trading it off to another girl you love." Rose took the screwdriver from him with a smile.
"The only girl that I love is you." The Doctor insisted kissing her forehead. "The others are just friends, good friends, but just friends."
"Alright want to show me all the fancy settings?" Rose questioned waving her sonic.
"I thought you'd never ask." The Doctor grinned pulling out his own.
-back with Jack and Ianto-
"Okay, Ianto you might want to sit down for this." Jack told him gesturing to his bed. The two men finally having found his room.
"I think you could come up with a better way of getting me into bed." Ianto replied.
"Just sit, please?" Jack questioned taking off his coat hanging it on the door.
"Alright." Ianto sighed sitting down on the bed clapping his hands together. "What did you do Jack?"
Jack bent down in front of him taking both of Ianto's hands. "First thing you should know, I'm from the future."
Ianto smiled down at him shaking his head. "I already knew that. 51st century pheromones are a dead giveaway afterall."
"That's not what I meant. The me that you saw lying there was me from 2 months ago. I tried moving on, to keep going just like I've always done when someone I've loved dies, but Ianto I couldn't do it. You were constantly in my head. I was seeing out of the corner of my eye everywhere I looked, and I couldn't so much as look at a cup of coffee without thinking of you."
"Jack-"
"So, when Bad Wolf showed up on my doorstep and told me there was a way to get you back, and travel with the Doctor again, I took it." Jack explained.
"Alright, so you stopped me from dying?" Ianto questioned.
"Ianto...I Made you like me." Jack admitted.
Ianto gasped.
