Jack "popped the question" to the Doctor over the console of the TARDIS. A quirkily rational chap like a Time Lord required a quirkily rational setting for that kind of question.
"So, I've been thinking..." Jack started, laying on his back, head and shoulders inside an open access panel, as he jiggery poked with some of the innards of the console.
"Now there's a novel gesture from you," the Doctor replied, leaning over the console top, a few inches from where Jack lay.
"Hey, no time for you to get sarky: I ain't finished what I was saying," Jack snapped back, grinning up at him. "As I started to say, with you and me and Rose traveling together for as long as we have, I'm thinking it's time we three got honest with all of us."
"Oh, we're honest: we travel, Rose is explorin' places an' times she won't get to see otherwise, you flirt with everyone and everything, and I keep the lot of you out o' trouble," the Doctor replied. "Hand me that spanner."
"I meant a whole other kind of honest," Jack said, pulling out of the console and sitting up. "I meant, it's time we got serious, that we made honest people of each other. Because I've had my ear to the ground and certain people I know have heard about us and started to talk."
