Ten X Rose one shots

Struggling To Accept The 9-5

Tentoo X Rose, essentially the Doctor {tentoo} reacting to Rose having to work most days and adjusting to the new environment, mixed with a few other things towards the end:)

The photo above is what inspired the one shot, unfortunately I don't know who the artist is - I found this on Pinterest:)

Since being back in the parallel world, Rose hadn't been needed at work and nor did she want to go back just yet, she wanted to be with this Doctor and make sure he was dealing alright with the new world around him. And being high up in Torchwood and Vitex heiress, she got to do just that.

Those hours were also cut from them when Rose was needed back at work. According to her colleagues, the place was slowly falling apart without her input there. Knowing this was coming eventually, she made sure to savour her last morning with the Doctor for a while.

The morning she was needed back at Torchwood, Rose was up earlier than the Doctor, yet she found that this metacrisis slept a lot more than the full Timelord. She got ready quickly and quietly, not wanting to wake him. However as she wrote a note for him, he began to stir.

"Rose?" The Doctor murmured, trying to reach for her.

"Right here, Doctor." She said giving him her hand.

"Why're you out of bed?" His voice was thick with sleep, causing Rose to smile.

"I've got to go to work, they need me."

"Stay." The Doctor, now grasping her hand tightly, tried to pull her back down to the bed but she refused.

"I've got to go." Rose said solemnly.

"I don't want you to go."

Rose giggled and kissed his forehead, "Look, there are chefs downstairs, so just ask them for food if you get hungry or make it yourself. Everyone else will be home, so don't do anything stupid and be nice."

"Rose, I'm always nice." He murmured, slowly drifting back into sleep.

Rose shook her head, then left the room.

Later on that morning, the Doctor awoke again and was worried about Rose not being beside him - clearly forgetting the events of this morning.

The Doctor had never done domestics and still didn't, he liked it much better being in the Tyler mansion with Rose by his side - mostly because then he wouldn't have to speak to her parents by himself. Tony he didn't mind, he was alright for a two year old, but even after travelling through all of time and space, speaking to a woman's parents terrified him.

Realising he was going to have to eat sooner or later, he changed into some casual clothes, ones he wouldn't have even considered before but Rose had insisted so how could he refuse?

When he entered the kitchen, he was greeted by Jackie who passed him some toast and condiments. Taking it, he took a seat next to Tony and began eating it.

"Have you seen Rose this morning?" The Doctor asked, mouth full with food.

"She's at work, did she not tell you?"

"Work?" He repeated. "She works?" He asked in disbelief.

Jackie and Pete chuckled, "Did you really think she'd be able to stay at home all day after spending all that time with you?"

"Well..." The Doctor concluded that Rose wouldn't stay still, after all, she'd told him she would see if she could work for Torchwood.

"And one doesn't simply just find a dimension canon. Took us a while, but it finally worked, Rose helped massively, you taught her a lot, we could do with someone like you on our team." Pete offered.
