Follows this.

When the Doctor woke, he was prepared to feel stiff and uncomfortable. Usually, when reaching that point of exhaustion, he usually found himself on the floor or on the console, in some sort of an awkward position that left him sore for the next day. This morning, however, he was out of his clothes and stretched out on his bed, under the covers with a heating blanket.

A breathing heating blanket.

He raised an eyebrow and looked to where Jack had an arm around him as he slept. The previous day came rushing back. Pearl Harbor, the goodbyes, the return of Gallifrey, being captured by the Shadow Proclamation, and finally nearly killing Jack. They came so very close. Too close.

Without really thinking about it, the Doctor found himself wrapping an arm around Jack's shoulder. Jack, who was ready and willing to die the previous day. And the Doctor was willing to give him that. He had been willing to give him that. Not anmymore.

Where could they go, now?

Onwards, of course. It was the only way they could go.

The TARDIS wasn't moving anymore, and the Doctor slowly extracted himself from Jack's embrace. He grabbed his trousers and shirt and threw them on quickly, heading towards the console, hopefully before Jack woke.

"Protector of Boeshane," Jack repeated, "you know, I kinda like the sound of that." He smiled, because that was good. There might be some things that weren't. Some pretty terrible things. But some that were pretty brilliant too.

He looked back to the city, one last look at his childhood home. It looked a little gloomy with the darkened clouds ahead. Must be rain coming.

Time to go.

"Oh I think I can stretch to that," he said with a smile. "Treat me nice I might even buy you dinner," he added, shooting a wink in the Doctor's direction.

He waited at the door, ready to step in behind him.

"Goodbye Boeshane, hello Milliways 5!"
