Warnings: Very slight angst???
Set: After Rose.
Summary: For all that Rose Tyler was not the world’s best girlfriend… Mickey Smith wouldn’t be winning any awards for the world’s best boyfriend.
Author's Note: "First" in my "On Rose Tyler" series. This one should have been written first, because it's chronologically first in the series but whatever, I do what I want. Major thanks to
tardismate for looking this over for me. ♥
I've seen Rose take a lot of flack for the way she abandoned Mickey in "Rose," but it always puzzled me, because I thought it had been fairly obvious that he wasn't all that great of a boyfriend, either. I think they both had their faults and flaws, and just figured that they were going to grow apart, with or without the Doctor turning up.
