Mercury. Not exactly the most entertaining of planets, but certainly one of the most peaceful. With the atmospheric generator setting up a heat and pressure field around where he sat outside the TARDIS, it was actually quite nice.

He had two white wicker chairs and a table set up outside the TARDIS, with a pot of tea and two cups and saucers out.

After all, he had a date arriving.

Well, not really a date.

Just Romana.

Still! No reason not to put a little effort out!

"But if you're late enough," he wrapped his arms around her middle and pulled her back down. "Doesn't that make you early? Isn't that how it works? I was always good at thermodynamics, not really circular time logic."

"And yet if I am early, would that not allow us more time to spend together?" she tried once more to sit up, though this time was unsuccessful what with being trapped in his embrace. "Unless you would rather we stay here..."

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Part of him would. Part of him wanted to abuse time and just have her stay here as long as he could. But, that would take away from the other things he wanted to do and...oh, but he would've loved more time. He always wanted more time.

"Ohhhh, all right." He released her and sighed. "Venus, dancing, and Christmas. Not a bad date, I'd say."

Unable to resist, Romana brought her lips just close enough as if to kiss him again. A grin forming, lips brushing against his, she said teasingly, "Mercury, Doctor."

And there it was - the little moment to even the score.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

His lips parted to accept a kiss that didn't seem to be coming. Wait, what did she say?

Mercury?

His jaw dropped slightly, but only for an instant.

"No, I knew that, I was...just checking to make sure you did!"

His expression was priceless as always.

There was definitely no helping the giggle on her part - something that she had done when she was much younger! Again, she could blame it on him for bringing this side of her out.

"Of course you were," she eased his confusion with the promised kiss.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

This regular kissing, he liked it. He liked it an awful lot. He smiled against her lips.

"I was." He replied, with possibly a little pout to his voice. But only a little one.

He pulled away and fumbled for his trousers. Ah, the fun part of simply throwing them aside.

She was still holding the sheet to her chest when she leaned over the bed's edge. Reaching for her own discarded clothing Romana managed to grab them before sitting back up.

Without even looking at a mirror she had a feeling that her hair was going to need a good brushing. Fluffing it a bit before patting at it, "Now I'm wondering if I should have waited on that shower."

He buttoned up his shirt and draped his tie over his shoulders.

"I'm a little wrinkled myself," he admitted. "Still, sometimes, you know, with spontaneity, got to be a little wrinkled."

He hopped off the bed and all but bounced around, collecting socks and shoes and jacket.

Her fingers fumbled a bit with the hooks with the brassiere.

"Be that as it may, some of us do prefer to be a bit less wrinkled."

The t-shirt was pulled over her head and her hair pulled out from being caught in the collar. Easing herself off the bed she was able to finish dressing without the hopping about.

One he tied his last shoe, he offered a hand to Romana.

"Are you all right?" he asked. About several things. He knew she was certain at the time, but he couldn't help but worry. He cared.

Once she had tucked the necklace safely under her shirt did Romana accept the Doctor's hand.

"I am perfectly fine," Romana replied, squeezing his hand once with a reassuring smile on her lips. "Really, I am."

"Ready for Christmas and turkey, then? Mistletoe and ice skating? I wouldn't give you half a Christmas, you know."

He leaned forward and pressed a kiss to her lips. Lovers, now. Funny, besides the new intimacy, their relationship didn't feel very different yet. Maybe they had always been that way on some, non-sexual level before.

Perhaps now she would come to learn what exactly that made this sort of holiday appealing to the Doctor. Oh, she had certainly read a bit about it when first learning about humans. But then again being the studious she was Romana had much too much to learn during her Academy years to dwell on such simple notions such as Christmas.

"Well, I would hope not," she answered just before she felt his lips against her own. The kissing, it was something she found to be a little simple pleasure. She would miss this upon her return home.

"Never do things halfway, Romana. Got to have all of the fun, all of the excitement!" All of the danger and the heartbreak, sometimes. But she was wearing the locket he gave her. That meant that a good chunk of the heartbreak would be better.

"Come on! Can't miss the tree lighting!"

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

"Clothes first, Doctor!" Romana had to point out in a rush as the Doctor was leading her out of the room. Seeing as it would be Christmas, what with the snow and all, jeans and a t-shirt would hardly be acceptable. And he had mentioned that earlier.

"-- And shoes at that!"
