A/N: watching Journey's End...and I just had to...

ONE LOOK

One look.

All it took was one small look between two lone men.

Just one.

It's all it had to take, really. Time Lord brains were quick like that. Speedy enough to understand what was happening and extrapolate the possible outcomes. It helped that the two brains were really one brain. At least, they used to be.

One Doctor looked at the other. Dårlig Ulv Stranden. That name held weight. Promises and consequences and a whole universe worth of new beginnings.

And endings.

One had to stay. One would go. One would lose everything he had ever known. The other would lose her.

It was a look that lasted mere seconds.

No one else noticed. No one else had any say. No one else could have known what to say.

That one look said everything.

They would share the consequences between them. They would condemn themselves to go without the two things that made them the men they were. The universe, the great, vast universe and everything within it. Timelines, history, the stars and the planets, the very sky itself.

And Rose Tyler. One human.

It was nearly laughable that those two things could possibly be comparable.

But they were.

Oh how they were.

And it only took one look between them to decide on the compromise.

One would get the stars.

The other would get her.
