Yours and Mine
Title: Yours and Mine
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Pairing: Doctor/Rose
Summary: We share a lot here, but some things belong only to me, and only to you.
Notes: This was inspired by Challenge 28 at then_theres_us. It doesn't conform to any of the prompts, which is why I haven't looked into posting it. Hope it pleases!
The jar of grape jelly-
Concord, dated 1998,
That I picked, boiled, and made on a whim
(before I met you)
In the cabinet on the right, next to the bowlsThis is mine.
(You can have some if you like, but please ask first)
The pink nail polish-
You brought from home
A shade almost luridly bright
You like to paint your nails on the jump seat when I’m not in
(You’ve never spilled, but I can smell it)This is yours.
(Please stop trying to paint my nails)
The book with the heavy gold binding-
(The one that you’ve only seen me put back on the shelf)
It smells like dust
I told you not to touch it and you apologized
This is mine.(I’m not ready to read it to you yet)
The purple scarf with gold brocade-
Found in a bazaar after you wandered off
(and scared me)
That you tied around your waist for the walk home
Swinging your hips so I had no choice but to walk
Behind you
This is yours.(But I like it when you drape it around my neck before we go out)
This beautiful ship
With all it’s rooms
And mysteries
(The golden glow and ethereal hymns whispering in our ears)
Sailing everywhere and whenThis is ours.
(Forever and ever)
The glimmer at the corner of your lips-
A blossom that yields the fruit of your smile
That tantalizing hint
Saying I’ve done something right and made you happy
(Something I treasure)This is mine.
(I guard it jealously)
My hearts-
Small,
Cracked,
But beating-
(Warming at your touch)These are yours.
(Always were)
