WHO: Jack Harkness, Rose Tyler
WHAT: More "girl" talk. Because things aren't going as they should be, dammit.
WHEN: Mid-day.
WHERE: Rose's room
RATING: TBA
STATUS: Active

When it came to Jack Harkness, there was no such thing as 'personal' space. At least, not when your name included Rose, Ianto or Doctor. As one was decidedly missing from their group, that meant two people were being subjected to one hundred percent of pure Jack. His eyes flicked towards the Labyrinth. He was getting ready to run it and knew he had support from the two, but somehow it didn't seem right to run the Labyrinth without the Doctor.

Soon, though. Soon they'd have to. Jack was reaching the stage of restless. Yes, it was fun to lollygag at the amusement park, but he still needed to do something. Be somewhere. Do something.

And so, Jack found himself at Rose's door. Yes, he should have gone to Ianto, but Jack was running out of ideas. Even before the dating hadn't been so much dating as doing work together after hours. Jack wasn't used to having to chase after somoeone. Usually, they came to him.

With a loud knock to announce his presence, Jack opened the door without waiting for her to give him entrance. "Rooose!" Jack sang out. "Guess whooooo!"

What else could she do? Rose smacked her forehead with the palm of her hand, then hid her face behind her fingers so he couldn't see the amusement begging to show on her face. "You didn't try and seduce him already, did you?" she all but whined. "Jaaaack! That's not what I mean!"

Pansexual or not, Jack still didn't get it. Why was it always men? Even men who were into men! And not that Ianto was a woman or anything, but he still deserved to be treated with a little romance here and there. As dashing and charming as Jack claimed to be, he needed to learn not to do so with everything that walked. And, she feared, some things that didn't.

"Jack... You know I love you, right? And I say this out of the kindness of my heart. You want him? You have to earn him. Not win him, he's not some prize. You've got to prove your worthy. And I don't just mean sexually. You know who he is as a person, not just a bed partner. Use it!" God, it really was like attempting to talk to Shareen all over again. Only Shareen had never been as pretty on the eyes as Jack was. Cute girl, not no blue-eyed, dimple-grinned beauty.

Why was it Rose had the ability to make him feel like a damned idiot? Well, the Doctor could too but as he wasn't here right now, Rose was the winner. He ignored the facepalm, sniffing haughtily. "I'll have you know that no, I didn't try anything. All I did was pounce in a purely excited way before taking him to come get you for the amusement park." Jack paused, unable to stop the grin from spreading across his face. "If other things came about due to a mutual accord, they were unplanned."

No, Jack understood all too well and that was his problem. Because he was stuck with the reputation, it was hard to justify the notion of 'settling down' with anyone and the romance that went along with it. "Do you think I don't know all that?" he snapped. Sighing, Jack drew in a deep breath, holding up a hand by way of apology. "Rose, it's because I do know who he is that I know I don't bloody deserve him."

That little declaration made her take pause. Rose studied him carefully, pulling her feet beneath her so she was sitting cross-legged. She turned to face him, dropping her elbows to her knees an her head into her hands. And for a long moment, she merely watched him.

"I think you do," she said quietly a few moments later. "I think you're absolutely brilliant. He knows it, too. All he's asking is for you to show you care." Tilting her head, she studied his face before sitting up straight. Rose reached up, touching his cheek gently. "You listen and you listen good, Jack Harkness. You've saved this world more times than I care to count. Well...maybe not this one," she added a second later with an annoyed expression. "But anyway. You've been a hero several times over. But more than that, you give a damn. About him, abou the rest of your team, about me and...and the Doctor," she added after a deep breath. "All the people whose lives you touch? You mean everything to them. And that person deserves to be loved."

It was an incredibly long speech for someone who'd barely been able to squeak out a word without sobbing the last couple of days. Rose exhaled, leaning back on her hands.
