Songfic? idk. I'm just listening to music and this came on and its TenRose AF so I wanted to make a thing for it. its gonna be a short little thing but there will be fluff. also, in this fic, they've been dating for a while. let's say six months. and I know that imagine dragons isn't the original band for this song, but I'm listening to stuff that they've done and this is in the playlist. so that's that. ready? begin.

Rose's POV:

The Doctor and I had just gotten back from an adventure. We saved some planet that I couldn't even pronounce the name of. I almost died, which was scary. Even though I had just helped save the planet, according to their laws, a female must have her hair covered at all times. Punishment for breaking that law was death. The Doctor barely got there in time to save me from being executed. He had some words and was fairly angry. But anyways, we left to go back to the TARDIS, and after a very tight and longer than necessary hug, we went our separate ways. Him to his room and me to a much needed shower. I stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel to dry off. I dried my hair and then my body. I got out into my room and put some clothes on, and just as I finished tying my shoes, I heard very loud soft music reverberating through the TARDIS. I got to my door and opened it, just in time to hear a very loud voice begin singing. The voice was soft and gentle, and a nice tune was with it. I walked towards the sound, and found myself standing outside the Doctor's door. The door was shaking from how loud the music was, but I could still him singing the lyrics at the top of his voice. Which was very loud. His voice, oh my. His voice was perfect. It sounded sweet and gentle and gravely and demanding all at once, and it was the most beautiful voice I had ever heard in my life. And have you heard Ed Sheeran? Still better than that. His voice stopped, and a guitar solo began. I opened the shaking door to see him playing an electric guitar, with his eyes closed, and a look of pure comfort and love on his face. The solo ended, and he opened his eyes. He saw me immediately. I wanted to run away, but I couldn't move. He began singing the rest of the lyrics, and motioned for me to come closer. I did so without hesitating. As I was walking towards him, he took off the guitar strap and gently set the instrument on the ground. He held out his hand for me when I was within reach, and I grabbed his hand. He pulled me closer, and started to move to the music. mind you, he was still singing, but it was gentler now, soft and soothing. Loving, almost. His eyes, oh his eyes. They held something that I can only call pure love. We were dancing, and he kept moving his head closer to mine, until he was almost whispering the lyrics in my ear. The song ended, and he kissed the top of my forehead, and pulled me into a hug, more tender than any hug ever before. He released me, but I didn't move.

"What are you doing here, Rose?" He asked in a low, calm voice.

"I heard the music and came to see what was going on, and then I heard you singing. Then, you started playing the guitar, and then you know what happens from there." I quickly explained. He chuckled gently.

"Yes, I do. Rose, I wanted to ask you something." He suddenly turned nervous, and fidgety.

"You can ask me anything, Doctor. Anything." I said to him as I held him just I little tighter for a moment. I moved so we could see each other's faces, but also so that we were still holding each other.

"Rose, I love you, you know that? Of course you do, I'm being daft. But what I'm trying to say is, you make me feel whole. You make me feel loved, like I'm worth something. I don't ever want to be without you. my life without you would be as empty as a Cyberman. I love you terribly, and I would do anything for you. Anything in the universe, just to make sure you're always safe. I love you so much. I want you to stand by me for the rest of our time together, so, Rose Marion Tyler, will you marry me, by both of our cultures?" He asked, pulling out a box and opened it as he got down on one knee. I smiled and nodded, grabbing both of his hands as I got down on both of my knees. His eyes began to fill with tears and fear. I leaned forward and kissed him to drive away any bad thoughts he could be having. He closed his eyes, and twin tears fell from his eyes. I broke the kiss and swiped away his tears with my thumbs.

"Yes, Doctor. I will marry you, by both of our cultures and any other culture you want me to marry you by." He grinned and stood up, pulling me up with him. He slipped the dark blue band around my finger, and kissed me more affectionately than he ever had. Later, we had our hands bound together at a wedding like those on Earth, and we finished the bond later that night. Whenever he has one of those moods, I sing him that song, the song that we proposed to me to, and all his fears get washed away. And we have remained faithful, and I will stand by him until my dyying breath.
