"Course you're not," Jack said almost flippantly. "Only one guy gets that and that's me. Unique as they come, Doctor, in every way."
If Jack were truly honest, he supposed that in a way he did like the fact he was one of a kind. It certainly appealed to some sort of vanity. And no, the Doctor wasn't forever, and this Doctor wasn't forever, but he was closer, and still, a happy day could mean as much as anything.
He was surprised by the touch, about the last thing he'd expected then, but it was nice, and he curled his fingers in a little against his chest.
"I know you're not forever," he said quietly, "but that doesn't mean you're not worth it for now. And whoever you become? Well I bet you'll be great then to. But now? You're you, and I don't think you should waste that."
He kept his hand gently over the Doctor's chest, and he lifted his gaze to his eyes.
"And how do you want to go on? Here, in your heart?"
