complete, day 5, rose tyler, the doctor

Who? The Doctor & Rose
Where? The TARDIS, then hiking and hot-springs.
When? Day five, late afternoon.
What? Just chilling and chatting.
Rating: PG-13 to be safe. Nakedness within.
Status: Complete, threaded.

Stressed didn't quite cover it. The TARDIS was stuck, it was undeniable now... and not only was she stuck, but with every day that passed the Doctor was convinced she was losing a little of her glow. Sometimes, when he let pessimism take over, the Doctor was almost prepared to accept that she might be dying on him. He couldn't let that happen, not like this, not because of some stupid planet that got bored.

He'd been fiddling about with the circuits for a good couple of hours, and still he had next to nothing to report. Sliding the floor panel back into place he moved somberly to the control panel, his face feeling a little naked without its trademark cheshire cat grin and his hearts feeling heavy in his chest. He ran his hand affectionately along the top of the panel, sighing softly before he started to start up yet another systems test. "Come on, love. I only want you to move forward five minutes in time, and five metres to the south," he practically whispered to the unusually unresponsive ship. The engines purred, seemingly trying to soothe his anguish and assure him that she was trying her best. "I know, love," he said, as if he were really talking to a close companion, which in many ways he was.

The central column light up, the familiar whirring sound of the engines groaning into action. "That's it, beautiful... come on!" he encouraged. "Yes! Almost there! Come on!" he yelled with a little more enthusiasm, yanking levers with a certain amount of eagerness. "I'll settle for one metre! Please! You're so close!" he insisted, gripping the side of the console in suspense, that grin slipping onto his face just for a second. It quickly faded as the lights dimmed, and he glanced over to check the time on the scanner. "Never mind, love. We'll get there," he insisted, leaning to press a wet kiss against the metal surface.

"There's never a lack of variety when you're around," Rose said, nodding. "And yes. Well. I don't suppose some people would classify what we do as fun, but I love it. But you know that!"

"We'll have to see it. Even if we don't go in-" Though Rose was pretty sure that once she got there she'd want to try it, just to see what a bath in warm milk was like; she'd never tried it before- "and no, I don't have hayfever." She lifted her head, an amused smile on her lips. "Though it's nice to know you're thinking of my well-being."

"Yeah, well, I know a certain Queen who was not amused," he pointed out, letting his legs swing back and forth in the water in a rather childlike manner.

"Yeah. Well, if the thought of floating about in dairy products doesn't appeal, the sand is unbelievable. I don't know why I didn't suggest it before!" he admitted, although he had a feeling it probably had something to do with the possibility of needing to remove a lot of his clothing. Apparently that wasn't so much a problem anymore!

"Your well-being? Nah, I just don't want to be the freak dragging around a puffed up snot-face," he teased.

"Not at all," she replied, laughing. "Oh, but it was fun! Well, the werewolf was rather terrifying but we got out of it!"

"The sand? What's so special about the sand?" She wasn't entirely sure why he hadn't before, either, but then again...It wasn't exactly like they'd ever discussed hanging out in places where they needed to get naked. Not that they were even discussing the nudity bit now, even.

"Oh, gee, thanks," she retorted, rolling her eyes. "I see how it is. You wouldn't want me around if I were ugly, would you?" She stuck out her tongue, only teasing him and then leaned back and closed her eyes.

"Still, we got knighted out of it, so it couldn't have been that bad!" he added.

"Oh, it's just that really white sand, almost silver, and it's the softest sand you'll find anywhere. Really, like walking on feathers. Or clouds." He sighed softly; talking about the places they'd go to in the future was about his only chance of staying sane while trapped on the planet.

"The truth is out! You're a trophy companion!" he laughed, sticking his tongue out at her in return. Of course, she was so much more than that, but he couldn't help but tease her.

"No, I suppose not," she replied with a laugh.

"Really?" she asked, smiling as he talked about it. She hoped they were able to make it there; she didn't even want to think about the possibility of being stuck there forever. She couldn't even get through to call her mum; much longer and she just knew that Jackie would be worried.

"Trophy companion!" She scrunched up her nose and shook her head. "I can't believe you'd say that to me."

"Yeah, beautiful. We need to start going to beautiful places. I mean, Earth is great, but we do seem to be making a habit of it. And satellites orbiting it. And new versions of it. Next stop, Florana," he insisted, giving a decisive nod. "Although... yeah, best call your mum on the way. I don't fancy another slap!" he added.

"Awww, you know it's not true," he insisted, leaning to place a few kisses on her cheek in quick succession.
