Who: Maddy Kemp & Nerd [Joss]
What: After the after-party
When: Late night on the 23rd/early the next morning
Where: London
Warnings: Maddy's probably a little drunk, she might try to climb Joss like a tree [TBD]

Maddy felt like there was a buzz under her skin, and not even the cold London night could make it stop. She'd spent the entire after-party talking to people she'd only ever seen on television, and she'd managed to keep it together and not act like a raging fangirl. She tugged her coat a bit tighter over her dress, doing her best to keep out the wind. (She'd had the dress altered so there wasn't quite so much skin on display, but she still really liked the way it looked. There was just not as much of her stomach out there.)

She'd had some champagne (alright, a bit more than some, shh), and it felt like the bubbles and the alcohol had merged in her blood stream, making her feel happy and light. She grinned at Joss as they left the party, her arm tucked into his. "I had a really great time tonight," she told him.

Joss had enjoyed the after-party, especially getting to speak to all the companions from years past, as well as previous doctors and Matt Smith. It had been a wonderful party, and he had even liked the green cocktail he had been served by an Ood. He still made sure to stick to one so he didn't get too silly. He was afraid if he got far too drunk, he would find Steven Moffat and scream at him a little.

Through it all, Maddy had been with him and she was like a bright star even in the midst of all the Who-greatness. Every time she smiled it made butterflies swarm in his belly.

"I had a great time too! Seeing all those cast members there was amazing!"

	Maddy fluttered her hands excitedly. "It was, it was so great!" she gushed. "I felt like I was in a completely different world, and I'm pretty sure there was a big, stupid smile on my face the whole time I was talking to David Tennant, but I can't even bring myself to care."

"Your smile could never be stupid," Joss said with a shake of his head. "You totally charmed all of them. My UK self included!" The Nerd who lived between London and Cardiff had been going by William Lambert since early 2012 to commemorate both William Hartnell and Verity Lambert's contributions to Doctor Who. William was wonderful to be around and Joss was pleased he had been able to see him while they were here.

	"Your UK self reminded me of a teddy bear, and he was so nice," Maddy said. "And I managed to keep the 'holy shit, look at all these famous people' to a minimum. So that was a good thing. Even if my brain was mostly a mess of exclamation points." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's William for you," Joss grinned. "I still get that way even though most of them know of me even if they don't know who I am exactly. William works for the BBC so they tend to know me through him. But talking to them is just so cool!" he said excitedly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Right?!" Maddy agreed. "I got done talking to Matt Smith and had to turn and face the wall so I could pinch myself. I think I got halfway convinced this was all a dream, that I was going to wake up back in my apartment and hear Char snoring in the next room." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not a dream," Joss said, giving her hand a little squeeze. "But sometimes I feel that way when I'm with you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That sound he heard was her melting into a puddle of goo :D aspectabund 2013-11-27 10:18 am UTC (link)
	"I know what you mean," she agreed, smiling up at him. "My life has just...done a complete 180 in the past couple of months. From just...a complete low point, to stable and happy. It's pretty great." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He is so smooth sometimes, whoa. forgr8justice 2013-11-27 10:31 am UTC (link)
	He paused there in the middle of the footpath so he could face her and then he lifted his hand to caress her cheek. "It's been amazing to see you so happy. You're so strong, Maddy. It's wonderful." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She shivered slightly under his hand, not because she was afraid, but because all of the hairs on the back of her neck were standing up and reminding her that yes, this really was real life. "I'm pretty sure you had something to do with me being so happy," she said, smiling. "And I couldn't do it on my own, but it's nice to feel...almost normal again. It's a good feeling."

	"I'm going to kiss you," he said, just in case she wanted to stop him. Then he tipped her face gently towards his before leaning in to gently capture her lips in a kiss. (Reply to this) (Parent)
