WHO: Rose and Jack
WHAT: A hug and a chat
WHERE: Library then who knows
WHEN: After his post
STATUS: CLOSED
Rating: TBD

Rose had never been happier to see someone arrive when she noticed Jack was here. She barely even wanted to give him the option to say no to her, she was already shoving her trainers on when she started talking to him. She wanted to see him as soon as she could and when he offered to sit and listen, she jumped at the chance. She usually talked to Sirius about everything but he probably needed a break from it all before he exploded. Grabbing her bag, she headed out of the TARDIS, shouting a quick goodbye to the Doctor just in case he was in there. Not that she would know, she barely saw him anymore and she wouldn't be surprised if he didn't notice if she just stayed in the house they had. The house he barely went into.

Running from the TARDIS, she just enjoyed the moment of freedom that running gave and soon she noticed that she was near the library. It didn't take her long to spot Jack and she didn't even stop running. She just kept going until her arms were flung around him and she lifted her legs, clinging on tightly.

"God I'm happy to see you."

He was pleasantly surprised to hear that-- good, about time the Doctor started verbalizing it-- although Rose hadn't answered the real question about the two Doctors.

"Thanks. Back in a jiffy." He gave her a playful salute before taking the money away with him to get them a fresh order.

After a few minutes to do that and give time to think, he returned and set the tray down. There was a fresh row of shots, plus two cocktails. "I asked the bartender to come up with something that tasted great and went down easy but would punch our lights out."

She wanted to run, she really did. It was hard to explain her relationship to others and sometimes it was hard to explain it to herself. A lot of the time it was hard to explain it to herself. She smiled a little when Jack came back, nodding at his explanation.

"Sounds perfect."

She picked up a shot straight away and threw it back before her eyes fell on Jack again. Sighing softly, she played with the empty glass.

"Our Doctor, the one with two hearts, he's...I was with him long before the other turned up. I feel incredible with him. And then there's my future when I get home. Sometimes this place updates your memories in a way. To how things would have been for you by this point in time at home. And he has left me on the parallel universe with the human Doctor and...I'm married to him with a child. I have a future with him waiting for me, but the Doctor I was with first...I'm going to lose him."

"If all goes well, I should be carrying you home soon enough. You just might have to steer me a bit."

It was very clear how little Rose wanted to talk about this, but she should, get these things out to someone who hadn't been involved in the situation yet also deeply cared about her; venting to a bartender wouldn't cut it.

"Ah, you were? And then in the future..." He kept the surprise off his face fairly well, though he couldn't help the empathy. "Do you remember, then, what it's like having a family with him? Or just sort of know the facts of it? See... the one you aren't with, he doesn't remember being dropped off, or any of that, hasn't happened to him yet. So I wonder, how's he left feeling? And how do you feel around him?"

"If you want to take me home when I'm that bad your best bet is to call Sirius. He knows where my house is and the TARDIS is normally near."

She nodded at his question, downing another shot. She didn't care if she wasn't giving him many, she wanted to be as distracted as possible from this entire conversation and getting bloody hammered would be the only way to do it.

"Yeah. It's weird, I haven't actually done it but in my head it's like have. And no, he hasn't been left behind yet and my Doctor doesn't know I have that future with a family ahead of me. I just feel...Awkward. Because I know how he feels."

	"Right, you did say him before. Yay, the drinking's starting to work!" Although he'd need to drink more than her if he had a chance of being as drunk as her, he wasn't going to keep it away from her. Like he said-- designated walker. "Hmmm... complicated, even for us, huh?" He reached over for her hand to squeeze it in empathy. "Being the one loving from afar?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"He's been drunk enough with me before." She picked up the cocktail, making a face at the strange mixture of tastes. But it didn't take her long to accept the taste and she took another sip, larger this time. "Wow that drink is..." She shook her head then looked to Jack at the squeeze of her hand. "It's just...weird and complicated." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So if you crashed on his sofa, it'd probably be returning the favor?" He wasn't surprised that Rose went right on back into the cocktail; she was more after the alcohol than anything else, after all. "See, if the three of you thought more like me..." He lifted his glass, like it was something worth a toast. "Threesome! Everyone wins!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Pretty much," Rose replied with a nod, taking another large sip of the cocktail. Okay, she had to admit, she was really feeling it now. She wasn't a light weight but she had been drinking these things very fast with not much of a break between. "Try telling them that," she responded before giggling a little. "Doctor sandwich."

In other circumstances, he might encourage Rose to pace herself, have some water, eat something... Another time. Not like he was really pacing himself, either. He started staring down morosely into his drink, then picked himself back out of it to focus on Rose.

"Maybe I will! Look! Look at this beautiful girl, and you both love her, and she loves you, and ehhh you can get past the not-loving-yourself bit, because hey, Rose filling! They can't beat that, can they?"

Rose burst out laughing at that, only just avoiding spilling alcohol all down her. So this had to be one of her best ideas ever, going to Jack for a few hours to get over her problems. It helped. It really, really did.

"Thank you," she said fondly after she managed to stop her giggles. Dropping her head to his shoulder, she nuzzled at him a little. "Thank you for this."

	Getting Rose to laugh like that was definitely the best thing that had happened here. He'd hold on to that, and hope that damn Collector brought Ianto soon. In the meantime, making Rose feel better was fantastic. "You're welcome, Rose." He smiled and rested his head in her hair, then nearly (manfully!) giggled himself. "Still coloring your hair?"

	"Shut up," she muttered when he commented on her hair. "It's blonde underneath all this just not blonde enough." It was true. She had been blonde as a child and then it had slowly become darker as she grew up. A more dirty blonde than the light blonde she made it. She just preferred it like this.

	"Awwww." He stage whispered to her, "I've got grey hairs now." [OOC: I myself am a blonde-who-went-dark-blonde, though I haven't gone back as light as Rose! XD] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blaidd_drwg_ 2011-09-01 12:30 am UTC (link)
	"Never!" She mock gasped. Well, a slight mock gasp part of her still felt shocked to hear that. Moving her head away from him, she glanced at his hair. "You're kidding." {OOC: hahhahah Rose likes the blonde XD} (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's true! Would I lie?" Of course he would, but he was telling the truth. He moved his arm off her shoulders and combed his fingers through his hair, trying to separate it in the general area where he knew he had a grey hair. "You might not be able to see any in this light." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blaidd_drwg_ 2011-09-01 12:37 am UTC (link)
	"Yes you would," she said straight away before shrugging. It didn't bother her, not at the moment anyway. Usually it did annoy her that he lied to her as well as the Doctor pretty constantly. When he began to move his hair she was instantly there, trying to find a grey hair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Awww. But not as much as you might think I do!" He snickered at the way she immediately went on the hunt through his hair and got his hands out of the way to let her search. "It's like you're going to delouse me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blaidd_drwg_ 2011-09-01 09:08 am UTC (link)
	"Trust me when it comes to you I think that is the least of my worries," she replied with a grin as she continued going through his hair. But then she had to laugh. "Found one!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	timeaftertime 2011-09-02 04:18 am UTC (link)
	"What? What about me could possibly worry you?" He asked it in a joking tone, not seriously wanting to ask if something about him bothered her. "I've never left dirty socks all over your room, have I?" He gasped in exaggerated horror. "Nooooo!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blaidd_drwg_ 2011-09-02 10:23 am UTC (link)
	"Everything." She laughed at his exclamation, nodding her head. Messing up his hair, she fell back onto her seat with a grin. Oh she loved Jack, he had the ability to make her happy no matter what. "Sorry, love. You're getting old." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Nooo! What'll I do? Dye my hair? Get more beauty rest? Rose, your mum did hair, you gotta know a few tricks."

He laughed as she mussed his hair and reached over to scrub his hand over her hair. See how she liked that with so much more hair than him!

"Bahhhh... c'mooon, better drag you home while we're still mobile."

[I figure with the new missing Doctor development, best wrap this thread up since they'll have that issue to deal with! Poor Rose :( ]

	"I do but I think I'll let you suffer." She protested as he ran his hand against her hair, batting him away and just about fell from the chair in the process. When he said they should go she couldn't stop the pout but she quickly downed the drink left. "Fine." {OOC: Sure thing} (Reply to this) (Parent)
