It was brilliant [Of course it was. This is Rose and the Doctor we're talking about.] In our flat. In the living room. It's happened loads since then. What is it 'bout you not checkin' your voicemail?
[Rose hesitates a moment, not in an attempt to conceal anything but more in order to give herself time to come up with the proper descriptions. She's aware that Donna is almost as pro Doctor/Rose as Rose is.]
Cold shower loads? Well one night in particular cold shower loads. The other days more...flushed and flustered loads.
[And then another pause.] Too many details? Not enough? M'not sure how many details you want to know.
[ Donna knows what it's like to be totally in love with someone she won't ever see again. Even if he wasn't real...that's not a feeling she'd wish on anyone. Even Naris. ]
Never enough details, Rose-- this is. This is. Oh, I can't believe he didn't-- no, I can. I can totally believe he didn't tell me.
[ Which is totally why she's also texting while talking to you. It's possible, shut up. ]
Are you two exclusive? Do I get to call you Roctor? Er, Dose, maybe. Dose might be better...
The texting!! So hilarious \o/ AT&T lets you do it!iam_thebadwolfOctober 17 2011, 22:13:25 UTC
[This is why Rose adores Donna.]
It's been a bit of a whirlwind? [There's a very big grin here, Donna. It probably gives you the answer to your question.]
Yeah. He's my boyfriend. Don't know how I feel 'bout Dose though. Kinda fits I guess. Doctor-Dose--Guess that'll be all right. Sorta just like TheDoctorandRose though.
Oi! Hey now. My taste is just fine. [She really can't work up the ire to be properly irritated at Donna. It's all teasing.]
We have to have a name?
[If her silence and that blush is any indication...]
We're takin' things a bit slow. [And she's not going to tell Donna that a couple of times a week they sleep together in the hammock because it's just sleeping and it has more to do with nightmares and the Doctor getting a decent sleep then it does with sharing a bed]
[ This is Donna giggling. Because c'mon, Rose is freaking gorgeous and she can only imagine the record amount of stuttering that naked Rose would induce in the Doctor. ]
Well...only if you want to see his great noggin explode. I get it, I really do, Rose. Long as you're happy, I guess. It's scary, I suppose?
I sorta like his noggin how it is, y'know? Fairly sure I'd burst with happy if I got any more so.
[Then she sobers a little and nods.] Yeah, terrifyin'. I keep waitin' for the Universe to pry us apart or for him to decide my whole life'd be better off without him.
It won't. I won't let it. I don't care if they shave my head and turn me purple, I will have a very serious talk with the deities if they try to pull anything saucy.
It's really great hair. [There's a little bit of a squeal here.] And now I get to run my fingers through it all the time.
[Which you know she does. All the time. Without asking. Just because she can. Rose takes a moment to get over the whole hair thing. She takes a deep breath and gives Donna a grateful smile.]
You'd look good in purple. [Which is thank you with more gratitude behind it than Rose can accurately express.] Figure I might be the only person in the City fightin' to get back in if they muck things up.
You would not, but I'll call you crazy all the same.
[ Donna's satisfied sigh is probably perfectly audible over the phone. ]
Rose, I'm really happy for you. He needed you so badly. So, so badly. As much as I'm not a fan of this City, I think I can make an exception because of you two.
He kissed me.
Or I kissed him then he kissed me.
We're goin' to do it again even.

[ HUFF. NOT the time for snark, Donna. There is gossip to be had, and you didn't smell it out as soon as it happened. For shaaaaaaame. ]
Anyway, I've got it now and I'm so not letting you go until there are more details here. How much is loads?

Oh, and please tell me you're not still in separate beds.

[ Oh, Donna's totally on the teasing train. ]
Slow? Rose-- it's always been slow. Slow is sort of like your kryptonite. We've had enough of slow, get on with it!

[Rose laughs a bit and shakes her head.] Alright, yeah but I can hardly prance in his room stark naked can I?

[ Donna can follow suit with the sobering. ]
