This one-shot contains some of my head canons:)

Warning!! This does mention Jimmy Stone and the awful things he did towards the start, but this is not ALL about him:)

The Doctor and Rose get into a deep chat one night back in London...

It was a quiet night, only because it had gone 1am and they were still sat out there, huddled together on the rooftop. Being in the vortex had unknowingly tampered with her sleeping schedule, causing her to be awake when she was supposed to be asleep and vice versa. So the Doctor had taken them back to the Powell Estate to see if some good ol' Earth time might do the trick in fixing it.

Trying to force herself back into an Earth standard sleeping pattern hadn't worked and Rose didn't fancy just lying in her room, alone, for seven or more hours. So, she found the Doctor, who was fiddling with the different settings on the sonic, and offered for him to join her for a night time gaze at the stars.

Naturally, they ended up talking about anything and everything they could find. First it was the stars and constellations and the planets that lay behind them, so far away in the universe. New, new Doctor and new, new relationship with him. And still she didn't know everything about him, yet neither did he. They both had their secrets that, really, had no business being secret.

"So, Rose Tyler, all these people on the big ol' planet of yours and you've only fallen in love once?" The Doctor began, when she mentioned past relationships.

She blushed a little at this, technically, in a way, he wasn't wrong - she had only fallen in love once. But that was only because after meeting him, she fell in love so much harder and deeply than she had ever felt before. Then in a way he was wrong, she had fallen in love with Mickey - now she had fallen in love with him.

"Well yeah, the other times... I dunno, they weren't love, not as I know it now," She murmured the last bit.

"Oh really?" The Doctor raised an eyebrow at her, "Tell me."

Her eyebrows furrowed, "You really want to know?"

"Of course! I wanna know as much about you as I can."

Rose smiled at this, tongue between her teeth, the Doctor smiled just as brightly at this.

"Well go on," He nudged her shoulder with her own.

Rose blew air into the cold night, contemplating where to start. No one had ever really wanted to know this much about her, sure Mickey cared about her but he was more of a stereotypical bloke who preferred to watch the footy or go down the pub and her friends that knew were there when it happened.

"Uh, well, there was Jimmy Stone," Wincing at herself when the words came out her mouth. Starting off strong, are we? Her mind chastised.

Ever so slightly, she could feel the Doctor tense, "You've mentioned him before..."

Rose shrugged, trying to think of what she was gonna say.

"It was never good Rose, even your mother couldn't bare to speak his name," The Doctor looked at her full of concern.

She scoffed at this, "Of course she couldn't, he was the reason I didn't speak to her for months." Rose blurted out. Blimey how much sleep had she really missed? Saying anything and everything?

There was no need for him to ask, the question was right there in his eyes. She sighed. He'd been the one who wanted to know everything about her, Rose came to the decision that she might as well just tell him all of it. Really, it wouldn't do them much harm. Hopefully.
