The Doctor couldn't help but grin like an idiot. How many times had he dreamt of this? This life? How many times had he lay awake when Martha or Donna were sleeping and wished for this? All that had been on his mind the past few years was Rose, what she had been doing, how she was, who she was with. But he was here now, with her. Her and him. Him and her. Romeo and Juliet, literally, star cross lovers. And they were back together, and he was never, ever going to let her go again. He didn't care what he had given up, it was all worth it- he didn't have a TARDIS (though he had one growing in the basement- Rose had decided it would be the best place to 'plant' it.) and he didn't have hundreds of years ahead of him without the thought of dying. But he did have her. Rose Tyler. Defender of the Earth. He grinned again, but it fell a few seconds later. He knew he still had to gain her faith in him again, and he couldn't blame her. He wasn't….the man he had fallen in love with? But he was! And he wanted nothing more than to try and prove it to her, but he knew he couldn't, and she would have to realise it on herself. Things were going well, though, and things would get better. They would make it through this, and soon, he thought to himself, he would be able to give her the universe again.
'You know, there's a better view of the city from the roof.'
The Doctor turned from the window, his hands in pockets, to see Rose standing in the doorway, her hair up in a ponytail on the top of her head and some clean jeans and top on. She gave him a small smile.
'I know….was just, thinking, and all.' He smiled back. She walked to his side, looking out the window.
'I guess this is going to be a boring life for you now, eh?' She asked suddenly, her eyes peaking up to look at his face for some sort of reaction.
He looked at her with a frown. 'Boring?' He repeated, 'Boring? How could any life, half human or not, be 'boring' with Rose Tyler around?' He grinned and so did she, both of them tuning back to the window.
'I meant like…not being able to travel around, and, well, not being able to like, save lives and-' She was cut off by the look he was giving her.
'Rose, please. Saving lives and running for my own is nothing' He leant closer to her, 'Nothing, compared to being able to be with you.'
She looked at him, her eyes full of compassion and affection, the love she knew that was in her heart burning brilliantly. She really could get used to this Doctor. 'Really?' She whispered,
'Really.' He smiled, and they looked out of the window together once again, towards the sky, towards their dreams, and towards their future.
A/N: Yeah…well,things are going to be longer than this from now on~ this was just sort of, trying to get things staring up between them again. And things will go up and down from here for them, some tears will be shed, some issues will rise and they're going to have to cope! Enjoy for now until I update tomorrow if I can, and please review!
