Eventually Rose fell asleep.
After a few moments I slowly and carefully got up, minding not to wake her.
I leaned over her and slowly slid my arms underneath her and held her close as I picked her up.
She stirred slightly and looked me in the eye before mumbling a thank you.
I just smiled down at her and walked in the direction of her room.
"Hey Doctor, I think the sonic is poking me in the back", she said as I came to her door.
I blushed knowing full well that it was not the sonic poking her, "Sorry. I'll just put you down, I'm sure you can walk from here".
I put her down and made she she was steady, before giving her a rather sizeable hug, "Good night Rose".
Without thinking I gave her a light peck on the neck, hoping she was too tired to realize. I turned to walk away when Rose grabbed my wrist.
"What was that?", she asked, sleep no longer in sight.
"What was what?", I asked playing dumb.
"What you did", she said.
"What did I do?", I asked and put a confused face on.
"That thing", she said getting frustrated.
"What thing?", I asked.
"Oh never mind", she grumbled and held her arms out for another hug.
I stepped into her embrace and-
Wait. Did she just kiss my neck?, I thought.
I released her.
"What was that?", I asked.
"What was what?", she said cracking a slight smile.
"What you did", I said playing along.
"What did I do?", She asked with the smile getting slightly larger.
"That thing", I said as I stepped slightly closer to her.
"What thing?", she asked with a huge smile on her face.
"Rose Tyler, did you just kiss me?", I asked with a slight smile on my face.
"No", she said with a smirk.
"Okay, now I am confused because I could have sworn-", I was cut off.
"This is me kissing you", Rose said and pressed her lips gently into mine.
It took me a full second to register what was going on, before I started to kiss her back. I moved my lips in sync with hers before slowly rubbing my tongue against her lips. They parted and my tongue slipped gracefully into her mouth before becoming entangled with hers. We kissed slow, but passionately as I pulled her close against her body.
After what seemed like forever we broke apart smiling.
"So I have a feeling that it was not the sonic that was poking me earlier", Rose said glancing down before looking at me again.
I began to feel my face turn red as I folded my hands together in front of my zipper.
"Sorry", I said as I turned and began walking away, my head down.
A hand caught my pinstriped jacket.
"Where do you think you're going?", Rose asked as she turned me around and lifted my head to met her eyes.
"Uhh...", I said having no answer for her.
She just giggled slightly and pressed her lips to mine. I kissed her back and memorized how her soft tender lips felt against my own. I wrapped an arm around her waist, feeling the small of her back with my hand. My other hand rested gently against her face.
I could get use to this, I thought as I began kissing Rose's soft neck on instinct.
"Doctor", she said which brought me back to the real world.
When I realized what I had been doing I quickly back peddled a few steps and began spurting apologies.
