Better (Prologue)
Title: Better (Prologue)
Pairing: Human Doctor/Rose, mentioning of Nine/Rose, Ten/Rose
Rating: Teen
Timeline: After Journey's End
Summary: The Doctor is traveling on new territory - a human body with a very human single heart, no Tardis, and no time & space. But there's Rose - and all the emotions that resurface with her return. All he wants to do is be with her - but it's not going to be that easy.
A/N: I'll have a bit more time to write now and this story has been on the back burner for quite awhile. It's my first time writing the human Doctor and I must say that I'm rather enjoying it. Can't say how often it will be updated - but I won't neglect it, I promise :)
Better
Are all people like this? So much bigger on the inside? - Idris, "The Doctor's Wife"

It had been a few hours since the scene on the beach with the Doctor and Donna. And the Tardis. The Doctor winced at the thought of her, but pushed it away for another time. It had been quiet since their departure and it was silent as they walked side by side to her flat. Once they had reached the building, he looked up. "This is different from the Powell Estate," he said, mesmerized by the elegance of it.
Rose looked up and shrugged. "I didn't want to live with mum and Pete. I didn't even want to live here." She paused for a moment and looked up at the stars above. "Then I realized I didn't want to live anywhere that wasn't..." she trailed off.
He looked over at her, looking up at the stars, "That wasn't what?" he asked her. There was fear in his voice, a slight tremble in his hands. He wasn’t used to the fierceness that came with his completely human emotions. He was always so skilled at hiding them when he was pure Time Lord. At least, he thought he had been.
Then, slowly, she looked at him, her eyes full of tears and pain and heartache. "That wasn't bigger on the inside."
