On a very rare occasion, the Doctor needed a rest. Not a long one, just a little sit down. Amelia Pond was similar in this way. Sometimes their exhaustion fell in synch.

This was one such occasion as the Doctor and Amy sat in the lower level of the control room. The Doctor had moved in an old mattress he had found to the floor of it for them to sit on. They sipped tea.

Amy sat cross-legged, hair unkempt, telling the Doctor about the first time Rory had tried to kiss her while sipping on green tea. The Doctor wrinkled his nose at its smell. To say that he disliked green tea was an understatement. A big one.

Amy paid no attention to the face the Doctor was making at the chipped cup in her hands, she was getting to the good part.

"And then…!" she inhaled sharply between laughs "he missed! He closed his eyes too early...(laughter and gasping)...and his mouth ended up on my neck!" she giggled, twirling her slender fingers around in a circle towards her neck as a gesture.

The Doctor laughed at this, but it was short and singular. He glanced at the smooth, white skin of her neck and then he moved his eyes reverently down to his black tea. He imagined his own mouth on her neck, and thought, much to his own dismay, that such an occasion would be anything but accidental.

Amy stretched out slowly, leaning on an elbow, sighing wearily. The Doctor moved a bit closer. He covered it up with a laugh.

"Do you miss him?"

Silence.

"Sometimes…I'd be a monster if I didn't, wouldn't I?"

She wasn't asking.

More silence.

Their eyes met.

"But then…" she grinned and tucked a lock of hair behind an ear, "…I look at you. With all your little quirks, and your little bow tie, and somehow, I just can't imagine being anywhere else."

The soft orangey light shimmered through the glass of the floor above them and fell across her and made her hair glow like a halo. The Doctor brought his cup up to his mouth and sipped through his smile.

Sooo, I think I like this. Haha, I think I'm more of a one-shot kind of girl ;) They will all be set in one universe, of course, and all will be fairly linear time wise...I think haha we'll see how it goes!
