Tingling. Yes that was the best way to describe it.

Rose Tyler was slowly regaining consciousness and so were her muscles, apparently. She moaned a bit as she opened her eyes slowly trying to readjust to the lighting conditions.

"Rose…"

It was that voice. The Doctor's voice. Why did it sound so pained?

She strained herself even more to open her eyes and found herself lying in the Doctor's arms with her heard being supported by his arm.

"What…what happened? Why am I on the floor?...I remember we landed…we…we were –"

She cut herself off as she felt herself blush as she remembered exactly what they were doing, or about to do. The Doctor noticed the colour returning to her cheeks and couldn't help but smile before explaining.

"The TARDIS for some reason set off one of its defence mechanisms when an intruder is detected. But that's what's slightly confusing. No one got in or out of the TARDIS." The Doctor spoke but didn't seem to have much interest with what he was saying. He was too busy obviously looking down at Rose and thanking his luck that the level of defensive was low.

Rose sat up and began to try and stand with the aid of the Doctor. He gripped her tightly around her waist and leaning her against his chest as he pulled her up.

"You alright? You sure you want to stand?" The Doctor asked worriedly.

"Huh? What yeah I'm fine! I mean it's not like what ever happened was over done or anything- hang on… what exactly did happen? I mean what is this defence mechanism you were talking about?"

The Doctor was just holding Rose against him as they were standing there. Rose was still trying to readjust and regain the feeling in all her muscles so he wasn't trying to move her.

"That mechanism is something which is activated by myself when I think someone has entered the TARDIS. What happens is that the TARDIS sends out a high energy electromagnetic wave which paralyses anyone or anything which isn't a Time Lord on the TARDIS. I really should have retuned it when you started travelling so that your DNA is recognized and so protected from the beam." The Doctor stopped, Rose waited for some sort of continuation, some sort of insult to the human race but nothing came.

Rose immediately recognized what was happening and so slowly pulled back from his chest trying not to move too fast and make herself even dizzier than she already was. She was looking at his face and the sight she was faced with proved she was right. He was blaming himself.

"Oh no you don't, this wasn't your fault Doctor!"

Slightly taken aback by her sudden burst of energy he began to grin and for once believe what she was saying.

"You are too good for me Rose Tyler…too good but what ever you may say I still should have fixed these mechanisms right when you began travelling with me. This could have been avoided."

She slowly raised her hand and cupped his cheek. "Doctor please, don't blame yourself because you're not only hurting yourself. You're hurting me too. These things are things we can't see or predict! If you knew this was going to happen you'd have stopped it before it took place, but you didn't! So how can you fix somethin' that you don't even remember setting up!"

The Doctor was going to reply that he really should have seen this coming but he noticed something. A slight frown from Rose.

"Rose - "

But as soon as he started he stopped as Rose's legs gave way and she slumped with her back arching and her head falling sideways.

Rose breathed in a large strangled amount of air as the Doctor pulled herself up again against his chest. Rose this time clung to him with her arms around his shoulders and her head leaning against the side of his.

They both laughed at the situation, because they knew if they took this kind of stuff seriously they'd die of fright out there in the real universe.

Rose once again began to feel her legs give way.

"Doctor…" was all she managed to say but the Doctor knew what was coming and swiftly in one motion lowered her slightly and wrapped one of his arms under both her knees and lifted her in his arms.

"Doctor!" She said in a slightly higher pitched tone than she intended. As Rose wrapped both her arms around his neck and squashed her face into his shoulder.

"Rose!" The Doctor mimicked back in a high tone.

She used one of her arms and batted him against his chest whilst the other clung around his neck.

"It's obvious that you're not quite in a walking state so what else am I supposed to do? Leave you lying on the floor? No I didn't think so!"

She didn't reply but all she did was snuggle her head in between his neck and shoulder and let a small smile spread across her lips. The Doctor felt this and he too smiled. A smile that reached his eyes and his heart.

As he reached the corridor he carried her in silence towards her room. The echo of his steps filling up the space of where laughter would normally be. But right now they both knew silence was needed. For Rose to regain her energy and for the Doctor to savour this moment with no strings attached.

"Jeez Rose you'd think that you'd loosen the iron claw grip you've got around my neck, I mean it's obvious I'm not going to drop you!"

"Sorry, its just Mickey used to try this and well he tripped up one too many times and I'm just kinda frightened of falling again." She mumbled.

Annoyed that he brought up Mickey he mentally hit himself for not expecting another thing that will bring Rose more pain. But he knew something that would comfort her. Rose needed to know she wasn't alone. Because of him she has been ripped away from the two most important figures in her life. Her mother and Mickey, and even if her mother is within reach, she isn't here now. Rose Tyler needs someone to hold her, comfort her and be there for her when the going gets tough.

"I'd never let you fall." He replied in a deep voice laced with such emotion that Rose was so overwhelmed to how deep he meant it. She grinned and blushed. The Doctor turned his head slightly and grinned down at her, happy to see her smiling once again.

"Well of course I could accidentally drop you…then it really wouldn't be my fault…"

"Doctor…don't you –"

But Rose was cut off as he suddenly let her fall and she screamed. But before she hit the ground he grabbed her once again and was laughing out loud.

"Don't you ever do that again! You scared me half to bloody death!" She replied whilst lightly hitting him on his chest.

The Doctor was still laughing and did a repeat of before except the this time round he was laughing so much that he couldn't get his footing right and felt them falling to the ground. Instinctively he turned so that his back would hit the ground first and Rose wouldn't be squashed by him. He actually did weigh more than he looked.

They hit the ground harshly and Rose's eyes were shut and she was clinging to him. It was only when she noticed she was lying on the floor and she had felt no pain that she quickly opened her eyes and pushed herself up slightly.

She was lying on top of the Doctor. Their legs were entwined and she struggled even to lift herself up a few inches.

"Oh my God! Doctor! Are you alright?!" She panicked as she reached for his face with both hands trying to regain his attention. "Doctor!" She said louder this time as slowly she began to think the worst.

Then she noticed it, a slight quiver in the corner of his mouth. That cheeky…

"DOCTOR! Why you! I thought- ! … You let me think that - ! …ARGH!"

The Doctor had now given up his charade and was laughing as he looked up to a dumbfounded and annoyed Rose Tyler.

"I knew you weren't blown out cold, I mean if you were I'd say you'd be pretty weak. I mean you gallant around the Universe saving it from deadly aliens but the mighty Time Lord can't even handle one human falling on him. Very manly…" Rose knew exactly what she was doing; she was getting him right where it hurt. His pride and manliness. Insulting that was probably an equal payback for his dumb role-play.

"Oh really! So you think that didn't hurt? Hmm?"

In one sharp fluid motion Rose was now pinned on the ground with a beaming Doctor watching her struggle to get him off. Rose immediately grew tired and the Doctor realised she still hadn't full recovered. He quickly removed some pressure off of her and watched her exhale and smile up at him. He was grinning back down at her.

Looking from afar anyone would have thought they were intruding on a rather intimate moment.

The Doctor still hand both her hands pinned either side of her head and placed both his knees either side of her legs. His body was slightly elevated but not enough to refrain parts of their body from touching.

As he looked all around her face trying to take in every detail of her the Doctor slowly lowered his head and planted a kiss just on the edge of her mouth. As his lips lingered against her cheek Rose turned her face so that she could try and get her lips beneath his. But he pulled back. For a moment the Doctor thought he saw disappointment in her eyes, but soon set his priorities straight and stood up. She was still lying on the floor with her hair sprawled out everywhere. She looked like a fallen angel.

As he stooped down he lifted her again into his arms and began walking to her room.

Soon they reached her door as the Doctor gently lowered her on to her feet. One hand was still wrapped protectively around her waist while the other opened the door. Once the door was open the Doctor slowly helped her walk into her room on to her bed. As she lay down she looked up at the Doctor and whispered, "Thank you"

Before the Doctor could reply he noticed her breathing pattern change as she fell into deep sleep. He gently stroked her face and picked up a loose strand of her hair attached to her pillow before he got up and left her room heading to the control room to fix the defence mechanism and engrave her DNA into the system forever.
