We could be here together till the end of time if the stars align

The doors of the Tardis shut slowly and River Song leaned against them. She sighed, sinking into herself, as she watched the Doctor fiddling with buttons on the console. Another adventure over, another crisis adverted.

Traveling with the Doctor and his companions was beginning to wear on her, but she'd never let him see that. Her back ached, she had a slight ankle sprain and she could feel a nasty bruise starting to form on her leg from pushing Amy out of the way of an incoming gunshot. She was tired and in need of a good shower, but time with her Doctor was precious. She wasn't going to waste it.

"Well then sweetie, what should we do now?" She asked pushing herself off the doors. She bent down and took her heels off, placing them by the door, bare feet colliding with the smooth cold floor. She silently crept up behind him, waiting for his response.

The moment the Ponds had stepped out, he had done everything he could possibly do to not look at River. That was only three minutes ago, and he could feel every second of it. It was a rare moment when they were truly alone together. It was all adventures and running, being the hero, saving the day. Yet here they were, no plans, no impending disasters, just them. It terrified him.

"Sweetie?" River whispered against his ear, her voice low and seductive. The Doctor jumped at her sudden closeness. When did she get so close, and why did she smell so delicious?

He had gotten used to her gentle touches, her quick kisses. He had gotten used to it, but still every single time she made his insides go all ooey-gooey. She made him feel things he hadn't felt in a very long time.

Rivers arms wound around his waist, and she leaned into him, sighing. The Doctor felt his hearts quicken at her touch as her hands clasped together, palms flat against him.

"Uh, River..." The Doctor started as he gently removed her hands from his front, maneuvering out of the circle of her arms until he turned to face her. He held her hands in his, not wanting to break the connection fully. "I have to do some repair work, do you need a lift anywhere?" He asked, rocking back on his heels nervously.

"Are you trying to get rid of me Doctor?" She asked lightly, smiling, trying to cover the hurt. She pulled away, freeing her hands, and backed away from him, crossing her arms.

"I know how busy you get. So many Stormcage guards to terrorize, so little time." He replied with a smirk.

"It's a tough job, but someone has to do it." She smiled in return taking a small step back towards him.

" You just love being a bad girl don't you? No wonder you do it so well." He replied taking a step toward her, the distance between them shrinking.

" I do a lot of things well. If you're lucky I might even show you a few of my lesser known talents one day." River un-crossed her arms.

"One day? I'm free now." He said taking a step closer to her. His hearts were pounding in his chest as he boldly reached out and ran his hands down her arms, placing them on her waist.

"Don't you have repairs to do?" She asked shakily, glancing down at his hands resting on her middle.

"Ah. I suppose I do." He said, closing the gap between them completely. His fingers grazed her side softly, his thumbs stroking across her ribs as he held her tight against him. "It's a tough job, but someone has to do it."

The quiet settled between them. The question lingering in the air. Where do we go from here? River reached both hands up and ran her fingers through his hair. She caressed his neck with one hand, while the second lightly traced the line of his jaw before they rested against his chest. She could feel his hearts beating fast beneath her hands. "Do you really want me to go?" she asked softly, pushing them back until the Doctor was pressed up against the console.
