same as before, I don't own anything. Here's chapter 3 :)
Rose could see there was something wrong as soon as she walked into the control room. Even though the doctor's usually not the happiest guy around, Rose could tell he was uncharacteristically sad.
"Doctor? What's wrong?"
She asked, as he mopily pressed some buttons on the TARDIS.
"You wouldn't understand. You're just a human."
He snapped at her. Usually she would snap back at him for being rude, but she knew he didn't realise he had been.
"Just try to explain. It'll make you feel better. It always helps me."
To reinforce that she really wanted him to feel better, she held his hand and stroked it with her thumb.
"I-I can feel myself changing. You won't understand until later, but I know my time as me is almost up."
He looked at Rose.
"You-you're leaving me?"
She stammered. "You're dying or something?"
He sighed.
"No, I won't leave you. I promise you. I'll stay with you. You make me better. I can't leave you, I need you too much, even though I don't like admitting it."
"Okay."
She stared into his eyes. "I trust you. Please don't leave though."
She playfully pushed against him. "I need you too"
He smiled sadly.
"I wish I didn't feel like this. I can always tell when I'm about to change, and the feeling is horrible."
He sighed, clearly going back into sulk mode.
"Cheer up Doctor. You've still got me!"
Rose smiled and stuck her younger between her teeth. She put an arm around his shoulders and gave him a squeeze from the side, and got up to leave. Before she did, she placed a kiss on his cheek.
There were the butterflies again in his stomach. He could feel himself perking up again and had a slightly bigger spring in his step as he powered the TARDIS back up. As long as he had Rose, maybe he would be okay.
