Okay I don't know if anyone cares but sorry about the delay in update – blame laziness (have been off from uni for two months now have been barely motivated to get out of bed) Facebook and Twilight (like I needed another obsession! :P I have read all four books at least 3 times in the last month) and it's SO hot here where I am! All of which exasperated some dire writer's block. But seriously please let me know what you think.

Rose wrinkled her nose in that very cute and distracting way the Doctor loved as she spoke,

"Other Rose was a bit of a pain Doctor, I mean I know she was me and all but we were just so ... different, plus I think we must spend a lot of time together in the future, she—I well was doing that mysterious stranger bit that you like to do."

Young Rose Tyler held the Human Doctor's arm and gaze with endearing earnestness. The Doctor indeed did actually understand what she was trying to convey.

"Having had met myself of a number of occasions I can honestly say I know what you mean," He assured her with some amount of chagrin, even though until his coming into existence in the last 24 hours this had always happened with different bodies there was always that awkwardness of both knowing yourself but also being a stranger and having been on both sides of having and not having future knowledge he understood perfectly if Rose had been somewhat standoffish with herself.

He waggled his eyebrows suggestively, "Mysterious stranger... Rose Tyler?" She blushed slightly, their time apart increasing the affect that his quietly intense flirting had on her; She visibly had to shake herself out of the stupor he had been close to inducing, not quite brave enough yet to return to the pattern of escalating matters in a slightly childish way to either diffuse the situation or ramp it up, the latter had not yet been the outcome of that game.

"Okay basic facts Doctor, me today was future me, don't even know from when, can confirm it was me not some imposter ," she was very careful with her choice of words there, she didn't want to use the words clone or copy with any flippancy around him, from her limited contact with her enigmatic future self she knew that the doctor she would see today would be something new, still very much the doctor but also in a new skin, he was now something entirely foreign to himself and she did not want him to dwell on something which no doubt cause him some dilemma which would seriously take some of the shine off of her long awaited reunion; happy now; there was time for philosophical matters later. "She really wouldn't tell me much enough for us to trust her but she said the rest was for us to figure out for ourselves, what were her words now? Wouldn't want to spoil the book by skipping right to the end, lose all the fun of the journey." Rose and the Doctor both liked that sentiment it was freedom really the future Rose left them with enough information that they would be able to avoid catastrophe of the reaper kind raining down on their heads but left the future enough of a mystery that they were allowed to make their own choices, the life they decided to live would be that of their own making not one according to a script or predestination.

"Ourselves," The Doctor wrapped that word around his mouth and mind, "Rose, I like the sound of that," he shifted in his seat in the tiny caravan bringing his body into closer contact with hers, there was a new light in his eyes it was very hopeful but there was a hesitancy and shyness which was incredibly reminiscent of their exchange in the snow-ash the first Christmas they shared with this face. Rose shifted her body as well, closing the last vestiges of space between them, there was a new shyness to her that he found incredibly endearing in his little flirt, it added to the seriousness of the moment they had been apart for years and to suddenly be together and pushing away the emotional boundaries that were carefully erected between them since the word 'run' was almost overwhelming. Rose lifted her palm and placed it gently on the Doctor's face feeling the slightly hot and rough texture of his form, her eyes were shining bright, the doctor bought his palm forwards and mimicked the move on her smooth cheek, the blush it incited making his palm burn slightly hotter. "Yes, Doctor I like the sound of that too," she breathed "I..." She faltered slightly her breathing quickened and the Doctor knew what was coming, Older Rose had to force both of him into a stand-off to bring those words to the bear on the shore, but they now played on his tongue merrily something he didn't have to force himself to swallow in the interest of self preservation, these words were now his salvation. He moved his open palm from her cheek to the nape of her neck and bought his lips to her ear "My turn I think Rose Tyler, I love you."

She pulled herself out of his embrace only slightly, not creating any distance between them just seeking out his eyes, hers were sparkling, shining with joy and unshed tears, when they met his eyes which burned with such gravitas and intensity there was no doubt. She held his gaze with no hesitation then, "I love you!" She exclaimed with such freedom like a weight had been lifted off. She then launched herself back into the Doctor's embrace, climbing onto his lap and settling herself there. He wrapped his arms around her body and pulled her closer still, tightening his grip, he wanted to hold her so tight that it hurt him; that it would somehow fuse them into one being so they could never be parted again. Rose shared that sentiment and clung to him tighter in reciprocation she took in his scent and had never felt more at home, for the first time in years she felt complete.

The doctor buried his nose in her neck and revelled in the feeling of having the woman he loved crushed in his arms, feeling her body pressed against his so intimately, she shifted slightly and in doing so grazed her lips along his slightly stubbled jaw line his heart thundered in his ears and he adjusted his position so his lips would meet hers. The kiss was not like the one he had received on the beach. This one began with gentle contact, it felt like a warm electrical current had replaced the blood in his veins, the build up was gradual warmth, pressure intensity building at a steady yet increasing pace mimicking the actions of his one heart. Their mouths moved together in the manner of a sacrament this was a prayer this was a promise, this was everything.

Thanks again for your time  - really please let me know what you think I could use some help I think.
