After this.

The things he promised himself he'd never do.

1) Never fall in love with a companion
2) Never bend the laws of time so far they break
3) Go back to Gallifrey

Well, he was having a rather productive Saturday, wasn't he?

He watched Romana sleep for a long while and eventually left the bed to make them some tea. It wouldn't be so bad, once she got over the shock and the breaking of the timeline and the destruction of her home world...

He sighed as he put the kettle on. He should never have gone back. Never have pulled her from what she knew. But then again, if he did she'd be dead. And he couldn't lose her, not after everything.

He grabbed some toast and the tea and headed back towards his bedroom. She'd wake up soon (one could only hope) and at least she'd have some breakfast ready.

"Jealous? Me? No! I'm never jealous!"

Though he did feel the desire to purr again. One hand idly played with her hipbone as she toyed with his earlobe. The contact felt wonderful. Knowing it was Romana felt even better.

"I was just curious. I am a curious bloke at times!"

"You mean you're curious all the time," she corrected him with a roll of her eyes.

The hum and warmth of the TARDIS was both pleasant and comfortable. Even with how quickly everything had changed Romana still somehow managed to slip into the old, familiar pattern of her old life. Granted things could never go back to how they were, but still it was a life she could enjoy.

She was still rubbing his ear some when she asked, "When do you plan on stopping at Cardiff then?"

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

"Not all of the time," the Doctor said. He sniffed. "Sometimes I'm sleeping."

As for her question, he considered. "Well, I can always see if Jack's not too busy later on, we can swing by today? Next week? Next century? Whenever. Nothing's in my date planner at the moment, except to buy milk."

"Or fiddling with the TARDIS." Actually, she could think of a list of things he was prone to doing. "Could go on, really..." But that would have been a little redundant.

And they had so much time now. Already she could think of places to go - some old places, others she had always wanted to see but could never. Not unless she had some sort of politically-related matter to attend to there. she missed having the chance to travel so freely. "Today would be fine. Anytime at all."

"Today could last a week if we really wanted it," the Doctor agreed. He stretched and yawned. Not because he was tired, but because he was impossibly...relaxed.

"Then we could hit the beach. Take a trip to the Silver Devastation, the 15th moon of the Medusa Cascade...?"

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

The beach was certainly a lovely idea. It made her smile more, just thinking the idea over. "I wouldn't object to it," she said. "Though, you promise to make sure we arrive at the right season?" A repeat of Brighton was not something she wished for.

The massages and rubs continued---it was amusing to see him relaxed like this. It was rare, and adorable to see. Not that she would have said that out loud. She would have plenty of chances to tease him on other things. "My hands may tire soon."

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

"Well, when they do, let me know."

Was that a little smugness? It may have been. It felt nice, being pleasantly selfish.

"Where did you always want to go that we never went before you left?"

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

"Mhmm."

Oh, there was a number of places she could think of. So many were running through her mind - and this was even after taking into consideration of planets she had gone to during her Presidency.

"Well... I remember hearing that the meteor showers in Alpha Centari are a sight to be seen."

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

"Mmmmm, you know I've heard the same. And it's surprisingly not too far from here."

Well, everything in the universe was 'not too far from here' if you looked at it the right way.

He took her hand from where it toyed with his hair and placed a kiss on the inside of her wrist.

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

The kiss tickled against her skin but it was a nice feeling.

"Then perhaps we should add that to our list of places to go," she said. "I want to see as much of the universe as I can, Doctor. I feel as if I've missed so much because of my duties."

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

There was so much less now, he thought. And after Dorotina and Women Wept had gone missing, he'd have to think of a few more places to take her.

"Oooooh, I imagine we'll be able to see a good chunk of it. You and I."

[tastefulfashion.livejournal.com]

Leaning forward again she pressed her lips to his cheek, gently. "I hope so."

It was strange to think that it was just the two of them now. She had grown so accustomed to having more company even with the war. Leela never strayed from her side and she had maintained a tolerable friendship with Narvin. Things changed so quickly.

She could feel a slight soreness in her hands. Her motions became softer and slower to ease it some.
