Summary:
There is desperation in the Doctor’s kiss -- aching, yearning hunger. The rain pouring down does nothing to quench the heat that is building between them… or the fire that is burning the structure behind them. Rose shivers with anticipation as he pulls her into a gap between two buildings, yanks the skirt of her dinner dress out of the way and makes fierce and passionate love to her against the cool brick wall.
In just a few minutes, the sound of sirens will fill the air and the street will be filled with people. But right now it’s just the two of them, celebrating surviving an unexpected alien threat in this way. It’s such a human thing to do, making love after escaping the threat of certain death, but it’s still something he’d once said he wanted, even as a Time Lord. The faint echoes of other survivors reach them but all they are aware of is each other. They devour one another, each so happy the other is alive and unharmed, other than a few scrapes and bruises. His lips brush the side of her throat, her fingernails dig into the flesh on the back of his neck. By time they hear the approaching sirens in the distance, they are both trembling and softly calling the other’s name as they come together.
They lean against the brick wall for long moments, catching their breath, foreheads resting against each other. Rose grins suddenly and asks, “You did pay for dinner didn’t you?”
The Doctor shakes his head. “Thought you got it.”
“Was too busy evacuating the building,” Rose replies softly.
“I was too busy being impressive and getting rid of an alien threat,” the Doctor says.
“Guess this means we should just go home then?” Rose asks, grinning cheekily.
“Sounds like a good idea, considering the place is now on fire.” He slips his hand into hers as they ease out onto the street. Rose feels her heart flutter with love as they share a secret smile before surveying the relief crew that has come to put out the fire. “Our work here is done I suppose.”
Rose nods and grins. Then they walk together towards the brand new shiny Lexus 400h they had just purchased and which had been the cause of that evening’s celebration before it was rudely interrupted by alien invaders, their linked hands swinging happily between them as they go.
