Tenrose One-shots

Rainy Day

Hello everyone! This is sort of my introduction area, if you're not interesting just skip past the bold. I would encourage reading this, however, if you plan to be interactive.

First things first: I'm one of those authors who enjoys sad endings. It's just me, I suppose, so don't be surprised if a few of these are sad. I'm not at all saying they all will be, because most of them will be happy, but a few... Well, anyways

Second: I really enjoy feedback, so let me know what you think.

Third: I leave a lot of allusions and internal references, so if you spot one, point it out :)

Fourth: I'm always open to prompts! Just comment.

Fifth: I will do a few of Tentoo and Rose because I like the domestic side of things

Sixth: hi, that was all.

Thanks for reading!

Rose sighed, hand wrapped around a warm cup of tea. She was a little bummed, and the rainy weather outside the little cafe was not helping. Earlier that day, The Doctor parked on a friendly planet and said he had to do some repairs. She normally would've waited with him, helped if she could have, but he'd been distant lately and she was scared if she pushed things he wouldn't want her on board anymore.

She took a sip and gazed at the seat across the tiny table in front of her. She wished he was there.

She'd had feelings for The Doctor a long time. When he regenerated, they only increased. She knew he didn't feel the same way back. She highly doubted it, anyways. Sure, they held hands and he would give her those looks occasionally, but whenever anything more or hinting to more happened, he pulled away and hid. She sighed.

She wished she should grab his attention in some way, but she wasn't sure how and if it would be received warmly. She didn't want to do something drastic then find herself back in London with her mum, where she began. She couldn't do that again, however much she loved her mum.

Thirty minutes later and she still sat there moping. Suddenly, a figure took the seat across from her. Her head shot up, somewhat expecting The Doctor. It wasn't The Doctor.

A light haired man with green eyes had taken the seat. "Anyone sitting here?" He asked, voice deep.

"No, but I'm not interested." She mumbled. He didn't respond, just sat there and looked at her. "Can I help you or something?" She finally managed.

"You look sad." He commented.

"What does it matter?" She sighed, taking a sip of tea to calm herself.

"Why?" He asked, leaning forward. She considered her options. She could just leave, but she had a feeling this guy wouldn't leave her alone until he had an answer.

"Well, um, it's this guy I travel with." Rose said. His eyebrows raised.

"And?" He pressed after a moment of silence.

"He's been distant lately. It's just I try to get him to properly see me and it feels like he ignore it. Like he ignores me, and I don't like it." Rose found herself spilling out her personal feelings to a stranger. It was surprisingly relieving.

"And you like him?"

"Yeah..."

"Then go tell him!" The man said.

"I can't. He'll leave me at home."

"Isn't it worth finding out if you mean anything to him?"

"I guess so." Rose mumbled, taking another sip.

"Go! Do it now, before you lose courage." Rose smiled, feeling emboldened. She grabbed her jacket to protect her from the rain. Before she left, she threw a "thanks!" Over her shoulder.

She hurried through the foreign rain towards the TARDIS and found it where she'd left it. She took one final deep breath, then pushed the door open. The Doctor was fiddling with something at the console.

"Hello, Rose!" He called. She didn't respond, just closed the door behind her and approached him. He looked up at this and she was soon in front of him. "Rose?" He asked, bewildered.

Before either of them could make another noise, she pressed her lips to his. He stiffened and she felt fear corse through her. Before doubt could spread and she could pull away, however, he reacted by wrapping his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.

Somewhere in there, she thought to herself, finally.
