Thanks to Armity for beta-read. Written for E.


The Doctor takes Rose to a planet called Valentine.

She laughs at the menu written in haiku. He buys her tiramisu just because. They try to speak only in rhyme for ten minutes. He somehow manages to say Raxacoricofallapatorius, pulchritudinous, and sacchariferous.

"Do you know your name spells Eros?" he asks as she's licking sugar from her spoon.

"What's that mean?"

"Intimate love and beauty." He grins

She scoffs. "Yeah. Right."

"I don't know." He dips his finger in cream on her plate, pops it in his mouth, looks away. "I think it fits."

Rose is speechless. The Doctor smiles.
