what if taehyuck dated...

taehee is jeno in the gif okay

i could see hyuck having a small crush on taehee during mmc

so he was like :// whenever they would fight

and really :DD when they make up

it would disappear during debut ofc cause u gotta stay focused!!

but then i guess his feelings came back during ‘boom’ era

at first he thought that he was only missing her bc she’s not in dream anymore BUT

she came over while they were in the waiting room with some food after they performed

so they were just talking and doing normal teenager stuff and catching up

and hyuck was staring at taehee with like heart eyes that renjun had to snap him out of it

casually, he pulled taehee to his lap and placed his chin on her shoulder

all of them were like “yeah this is normal�� and carried on with the conversation

so hyuck decided to just do a l i g h t scan of her face

like very quick

but he took his time looking at every. feature.

like the sweat dripping of her forehead bc the ac isn’t on

the way her eyes go slightly big when she got interested at what jaemin was about to tell her

or how her fingers play with his hair at the back of his head out of habit

“were her lips always this cute? they look so soft. i-“

and then it hits him like OH NO I LIKE HER OMGNRJFKSJ I LIKE TAEHEE NOONA

“excuse me, i need to go to the bathroom”

so taehee gets off his lap while still talking to jaemin

while hyuck goes to the bathroom to calm down

inhale exhale inhale exhale

boom he’s back to liking her again

but stronger (부딪칠수록 더 stronger)

i feel like dream would know

like renjun would be the first to notice, then it would be a slip of the tongue around jaemin and jeno

and then i feel like jaemin would tell chenji like it’s no big deal

“BUT YOU HAVE TO BE QUIET OKAY”

“wait let me text noona real quick-“

“HEY”

so at this point dream knows

and hyuck’s contemplating whether or not he should tell mark hihi

okay mOVING ON TO TAEHEE

i feel like she does have feelings for hyuck

but she doesn’t acknowledge it

like i said, she doesn’t think about what it would be like to date the members

but then hyuck’s got a MASSIVE crush on her so i think she would pick up on it

like recently, he’s super flustered around her and that he couldn’t come up with a proper come back during playful banters

or that he’s super clingy than before but now he won’t admit it

“haechan, you’re so clingy nowadays. you like me, don’t you?”

“huh??? what, of course not!! why would i,” then he stands up and walks out of the room without another word

and that she keeps catching hyuck staring at her before quickly looking away

she’d find it cute, maybe a little funny

i think she would talk about it with mark bc she was suuuuuper curious

but in reality she just wants to know bc deep inside,,,she liked him too

“mark?”

“hm?”

“do you think,,haechan likes me?”

“of course he does! why would you ask that?”

“no no,,like ‘like like’ me. you get it?”

“oh? i don’t...i haven’t thought about it. why? do you ‘like like’ him?”

“....maybe- i don’t know :((“

and mark’s like :00

“oh okk, don’t worry. i gotchu”

taehee: ?????

lowkey got scared bc mark acted weird

but she trusts him enough that he won’t do anything out of the ordinary

so later on, mark texts hyuck bc he has a mission

mission: find out if hyuck likes taehee

to lee donghyuckie: hey

to lee donghyuckie: are you not telling me something?

from lee donghyuckie: i don’t know what you’re talking about ...

to lee donghyuckie: do you like taehee?

mark had to wait for a few minutes before hyuck sent a reply

from lee donghyuckie: hyung

from lee donghyuckie: i really really like her.

from lee donghyuckie: what do i do?

then he sent something similar to a rabbit crying sticker, making mark laugh

“cute~”

“who’s cute?,” taehee asked

“uhh oh nothing”

to lee donghyuckie: if you really like her that much, then i think you should go for it

to lee donghyuckie: you know well enough about how your decisions could affect the both of you

to lee donghyuckie: but i think the both of you would be careful about this

to lee donghyuckie: whatever your choice is, we’ll all be here to support you

on the other end of the line, hyuck was so touched

he’s so greatful for his members he was really moved

so bc of mark’s encouragement (+ a bit of jaemin’s pestering), he finally made his decision

from lee donghyuckie: okay then. i’ll go for it. what should i do?

so after talking with mark and the rest of the dreamies over food and drinks

“noona do you want to come-“ “JISUNG!! SORRY NOONA ITS BOYS NIGHT”

their plan was just for hyuck to go along with taehee’s antics bc she’ll cave in eventually (according to mark)

“but what if she doesn’t?”

“then you do it!!! stop being a coward- OW”

lmao renjun u try confessing to ur crush ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ

so for a few damn weeks

hyuck went along with whatever taehee’s got under her sleeve

and they flirted back and forth

they’re never not joined by the hip during schedules together

cheek kisses became more frequent

hyuck kept cooking for her and then they would eat together <3

a way through a woman’s heart is truly through the stomach

i feel like whenever taehee would be affectionate towards the other members hyuck would get jealous

so when she’s ‘free’ already, he goes to her and sticks beside her for the rest of the day

hyuck was about to give up tbh bc it seemed like there wasn’t any progress

“just wait,” mark said

so he did

they were playing games one time and hyuck kept on getting distracted he wasn’t doing as well as he’s supposed to

“haechanie!!”

his heart skipped a beat at the nickname even if he’s heard her call him that a thousand times already, “hm?”

“you’re not playing well! is something bothering you?”

“...no”

she doesn’t bother him after that for the rest of the game

while they were waiting for another round to start,,,taehee decided that she’ll do it now

she’ll confess and hope that hyuck wasn’t playing with her all this time and that he was genuinely interested in her

taehee’s nerves got the best of her so her character died in the game

“noona!!! you left me all alone”

“good luck then. i’ll be spectating you, don’t worryyy”

she said it in a really cute way that it made hyuck press a wrong key and almost die

minutes passed and they were about to win yayayay

but taehee hasn’t said anything yet

so she takes a deep breath and sends a text to mark

to markly <3: i’m gonna do it

“ʰᵃᵉᶜʰᵃⁿⁱᵉ”

“m?”

“i...really...like you...like a lot-“

hyuck freezes

“and i don’t know if you really mean what you’ve been doing and saying for the past weeks...or if you’re just going along with me. i was trying to make it obvious so i’m wondering if you wanted to go out with me....?”

“game over”

“HAECHANIE WE JUST LOST WHAT WERE YOU DOING?”

“YOU DISTRACTED ME HOW CAN I FOCUS”

their monitors go back to the lobby as silence lingered on both ends

“lee donghyuck, say something!! my pride’s already hurt...”

.....

“ah i knew i shouldn’t have-“

“noona”

“hmm?”

“i’m kinda,,,bummed out”

“w-what why?”

“because you asked first”

taehee felt a smile creep up her face before letting out a small laugh

“noona, do you want to go out with me?”

“hEY! THAT’S NOT FAIR!! I ASKED FIRST”

hyuck can sense her pout through the speaker so he gives in instead

shut up hyuck ur just whipped

“okay okay!! i’ll go out with you~”

their first date was in a secluded movie theater

like you know that movie theater idols go to for dates? that one

and then they ate out after

HIHIHSISJDJSJ

i feel like all the members and managers would know

especially because the pair’s so smiley and clingy and in jisung’s words, lovey-dovey around each other

so when each of them got home the members teased them

johnny to hyuck and markwoo to taehee

I FEEL LIKE THEY WOULD KISS A LOT LIKE A LOT LOT as if the cheek kisses aren’t a giveaway

their first kiss would go like this

they were playing games and you know they’re both competitive

so like they strike deals

the “if i win you do this that blah blah”

so hyuck was gonna ask for a kiss (*^▽^*)

and taehee was too

but she couldn’t help herself

so mid-game,,,she put her phone on the nightstand and grabbed hyuck’s face to connect their lips

hyuck was surprised at first,,,then he eased on to it

like “wow i’m finally kissing the girl of my dreams”

they lowkey forgot about the game

lowkey made out on hyuck’s bed

hyuck got so smug istg

when they pulled away to catch their breaths, the first thing that came out of hyuck’s mouth was

“you couldn’t resist me, couldn’t you?,” earning a slap to his chest

but hyuck made up for it with more kisses!!! (≧∀≦)

the members would find it SO cute whenever hyuck was a lil jealous

“ahh you guys keep going out,,we never see you both anymore,” yuta chuckled as he put an arm around taehee

“hYUUNG!”

yuta chuckled as he pulled his arm away, “ah right right,,she’s your girlfriend now (＾ν＾)”

“MY GIRLFRIEND”

but he doesn’t get like jealous jealous dw it never gets out of hand it’s just for fun

i feel like the members would help them on dates too,,esp taeyong

i could see taeyong be so into this like he’d go

“OH IF YOU WANNA GO OUT YOU SHOULD BRING ALONG THE OTHER MEMBERS SO IT WON’T LOOK SUSPICIOUS AND THEN YOU COULD GO YOUR WAYS SEPARATELY AND THEN-“

“TAEYONG OPPA SLOW DOWN”

but then there’s this moment where he just sits in between them and puts his arm around his shoulders saying, “you better be careful, okay? (⌒▽⌒)”

hmm i imagine taehee asking hyuck to do her eye makeup

bc hyuck’s eye make up is so pretty sHUT UP

so he’d do it in taehee’s room

eventually leading to them making out again

“OH MY GOD”

from then on, mark makes it a point to knock before entering a room

when they were recording kick it,,hyuck was waiting for his turn in the studio alone

it was supposed to be taehee’s but she wasn’t there yet bc she had to help produce for other groups

and it was cold cause it was JANUARY OKAY

so when taehee came in the studio wearing a shirt, jeans, and a thin jacket

hyuck’s like, “why are you wearing that? it’s cold”

“my friend gave me this i wanna wear them :((“

so hyuck took off his jacket in exchange for taehee’s

it was his anyways

he would wait for her to finish recording and would take her out after

“what do you want to eat?”

“chicken!!!”

“anything for my babyyy”

taehee would love holding his hand

like the feeling of his fingers in between hers just makes her heart go boom boom

bonus points if hyuck squeezes them from time to time and let’s her play with his hand

he found it cute when all of his rings transferred to her fingers

“you know i have to return that to the stylists, right?”

“yeah but this one’s yours so :>>>”

hyuck gets them matching rings for their five months anniversary

dude i think they’ll just be plain out obvious

like there’s so many moments of them during kick it era that czennies think of it as ‘out of context moments’ but it wasn’t the case to taehyuck

like taehee straddling hyuck on the floor of their practice room

mark: oKAYYYYY

or whenever they shout randomly about each other off-screen

“JUNGWOO HYUNG SHE SAID NO :((“

“IT WAS JUST A JOKE- OW TAEYONG OPPA HE BIT MY NECK”

but czennies just brush it off as like “tHey’Re bOtH aFfEcTiOnAtE fRIeNDs”

some of them really really really want to date

don’t worry, they are, they’re just not ready to put it out there ;))

taehee was hyuck’s #1 supporter during reload era

would compliment his facial expressions when they were recording their reaction for their mv

“HIS EYES LOOK AT HIS EYES KFKSKFKSKD”

‘quiet down’ being her favorite song bc hyuck sounded so sexy

when hyuck came home after ridin’s first win the first thing taehee did was kiss him sweetly

hyuck pecked her cheek when she pulled away (*´꒳`*)

jisung and chenle: EWWWW T_T

if johnny’s not in the room they would dance together

but then there are intimate moments where they’re just swaying to the music, taehee’s arms wrapped around hyuck’s neck and the his arms around her waist

would kiss the side of her head from time to time

and when their feet get kinda tired,,they get ready for bed and sleep next to each other

there are times where hyuck falls asleep first and taehee would lie awake, adoring him

and vice versa

THEY’RE IN LOVE OKAY (>_<)

most of the time taehee would be the small spoon

vlives with just the two of them would be their thing

i mean it already was,,anyways

hyuck decided to be dangerous in this one vlive

he would tuck a strand of taehee’s hair behind her ear

would kiss his fingers and boop them on taehee’s nose

would interlace their fingers together

markleeswatermelons i want to confess to my crush but i don’t know how. what should i do?

“‘i want to confess to my crush but i don’t know how. what should i do?’ ahhh noona is really good at that!! right?”

then hyuck found it really funny bc taehee’s looking at him like ‘wtf are you doing’

“come onnn!!! tell them!!”

“....”

“you have to help czennies!! hihihi”

taehee took a bite of her sandwich in reluctance

“hhhhhh uhhh,,you should just go for it, honestly. make sure you get to say everything you want to tell that person, and don’t be afraid if you think things won’t go your way. it’s part of the process,,you’ll find the right person one day :)) but if it does go well then congratulations!!! we’ll be cheering for you hehe”

the whole time hyuck’s just looking at her with heart eyes it melts mah hart <//3

taeheesunshine taehee please take care of me!! >.<

“‘taehee please take care of me’, of course i will take care of you? did you eat yet? i’ll cook for you :>>”

“noona seems like the one to take care of us and to baby us all the time,,but she really really really...”

hyuck takes a peak at taehee’s nervous expression and laughs

“she really really likes being babied. really-“

“WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD SAY AFTER THIS”

“IT’S TRUE HAHAHAHA....don’t worry, it’s cute ;))”

hyuck tops in this relationship

in conclusion, taehyuck would be the couple everyone would adore and take care of!! the members tease them from time to time but nevertheless supportive of them!!

“just know that we played a part in this”

“CHENLE!!”

“yeah, haechan was a chicken so we had to rely on you”

“H U A N G R E N J U N”

although they’re a very outright and clingy couple, i feel like no one from the outside would suspect 

sure there are those suspicious fans 

but they’ll still hide it really well :>>

hyuck finally gets to spend a lifetime with his first and last <33

“yes”

“yes..?”

“you said you’re gonna marry me in the future,,,,i gave you my answer already”

hyuck chuckled and kissed the corner of her mouth 

they really do love each other 

“you’re so cute,” he says, before capturing her lips in a sweet kiss

DW Inbox Buddies daily prompts

I suppose you could say that I took @dwinboxbuddies daily prompts and ran with them - I wrote something for all but 3 days.  Each was an individual, unconnected story, but I’ve consolidated them here and formatted as they were meant to be.

Gifts for @starry-nightflyer

9/1 - Run

It was the most romantic kiss of Rose’s life.  Even with an audience of 200, the Doctor still poured all his love for her into it, and she responded in kind, despite the wolf whistles.  Pulling back, he searched for the perfect word to start their new life.  In the end, only one could do.  His right hand took her left, and her eyes sparkled as she understood.  “Run.”  He whispered, and they dashed from the altar, down the aisle, and out into the bright sunshine of the rest of their life.

9/2 – Stargazing

Lying on the mansion roof watching the stars twinkle above her, Rose wished for home.  It had been years, now, and her human mind was starting to forget; forget the exact shade of brown his eyes became in the privacy of their bedroom; forget the precise sound of the TARDIS landing.  As she did every night, she picked a star, closed her eyes, and made a wish.  Looking up at the stars, she bolted upright.  Did that star just go out?

9/4 – Holding Hands

The grief and devastation was so unbearable, it was difficult for Rose to feel anything other than the profound sense of loss.  It is not until later, after Norway, after ‘no touch’, after ‘Rose Tyler-‘, that she realizes what she misses most.  Having a hand – his hand – to hold.

9/5 – Sweet

Rose laughed, watching the Doctor and Tony compete for the bigger milkshake moustache.  Soon enough, Tony was declared the victor, and he ran off to claim his prize of time on the playset, leaving Rose to soothe the Doctor’s pout.  The sweet taste of his kiss had nothing to do with the remains of his banana milkshake.

9/6 – In the TARDIS

“It’s going to be all right, Rose,” the Doctor promised.  

“We’re quite literally strung up like a pig at a luau Doctor – how is it going to be okay?!”

“The sonic can cut through these ropes in about ten seconds.”

“Well, then, use it, would you?  We’re running out of time!”

“Uh…”  “Please don’t say it’s broken!”

“No, it’s fine – it’s in the pocket of my jacket.”

“And where is that?”

“Um, in the TARDIS?”

“Doctor!”

9/7 – Cooking a meal

A gentle nudge from the TARDIS woke Rose.  “What is it? What’s wrong?”  She asked the ship, who gave off a slightly alarmed hum followed by a muted imitation of a smoke alarm.  

Grabbing her dressing gown, Rose shuffled to the galley to find it filled with smoke and her husband coughing by the oven.  

He looked up to see her, arms crossed and frowning, and chuckled weakly.  “Happy birthday?”

9/8 – Break

“Doctor?”  

“Yes, Rose?”  

“So, I’ve been on board for a few weeks now.”  

“Yeah?”  

“Is there anything, I dunno, else?”  

“Else?  Rose Tyler, what more could you possibly want?!”  

“You’ve got a timeship.”

“Yeah.”  

“Unlimited credit anywhere but Earth.”  

“I do.”  

“Do you think – can we take a break?”  

“A break?  From what?  Why?”

“Because, Doctor, I want to go shopping on an alien planet.”

“Fine.  But we’re going to America’s Black Friday, year 4263. Worst ever.”

“Challenge accepted.”

9/9 – Ocean

They stand side by side, staring out at the ocean.  “The house is nice.”  Rose tells him.  “Torchwood’s not bad, not with Pete in charge.”  

“What are you saying?” He asks.  

“Just that it’s not a bad life.”  She looks up at him.  

He smiles down at her, offering “Better with two, though?”  

She laughs. “Yep.  Know why?”  

“Cause there’s you?”  

She takes his hand, reaffirming, “Forever.”  

“Stuck with you – that’s not so bad.”  He tells her, and she can’t resist; she kisses him.

9/10 – I can’t believe you’re back here

“I can’t believe you’re back here.”  Rose found her new husband hiding in the kitchen, downing handfuls of nibbles.  

“Needed a breather.” He shrugged.  

“Well, how about instead of the kitchen where we’ll be found, we take a very large slice of our wedding cake and go sit outside and stare at the stars?”  She suggested.  

“Brilliant, you are.” He told her seriously as she plated the cake.  

She got a good grip on the plate, and held out her hand.

“Run?”  

“Run!”  He agreed.  

They ran.

9/11 – Kiss

They kissed in all kinds of ways now, for every possible reason.  Hello.  See you later (never goodbye).  Good morning. Good night.  Light pecks, passionate snogs.  Rose’s favorite, she quickly discovered, were the ‘just because’ ones.  Especially when the Doctor initiated.  Nothing made the butterflies take off like when he would pull her close and give her a sweet kiss.  If she questioned it, he would simply shrug and say, “Because I can, Rose.  Because I can.”

9/12 – Angry

One of the side effects of being part Donna, he’d noticed, was being far quicker to anger when he was dismissed out of hand.  Centuries of being the smartest person in the room meant he used to ignore doubters; now, he had a tendency to start shouting.  Many times, especially in his first six months, Rose would have to pull him away before fisticuffs could start.  After every instance, he would grieve for his best friend, and all she lost because of the metacrisis.

9/13 – On an alien planet

One foot out of the TARDIS, Rose stopped to stare, transfixed.  “It’s beautiful,” she breathed.  

The Doctor smiled down at her.  “Glad you like it.”  

“An alien planet.  My first alien planet!”  She bounced on the balls of her feet.  “Thank you!”  

She threw her arms around him, and he reciprocated automatically, admitting, “Anything for you.”  

“So, where are we?”  

“S’called Woman Wept.”

“It looks like it’s all ice and snow.”  

“It is.”  

“Can we ice skate?”  

He smiled in response.

9/14 – Getting arrested

“I’m sorry.”  

Silence.  

“Rose, really, I am.”

Still no response.  

He keeps trying.  

“It’s not like this is the first time we’ve been arrested.  And, actually, this is one of the nicer jails.  I remember one time-” and off he goes, trying to talk the stony glare off her face.

“Doctor?”  

“Yes, love?”

“I don’t mind getting arrested for a good reason – breaking a law, as protest, what have you.”  

“But?”

“Never again get us arrested for stealing bananas.”  

“Yes, dear.”

9/15 – Again

He was regenerating again. Rose could barely bring herself to watch, hoping this new, new, new Doctor would still want her, still love her. Face half hidden in Jack’s coat, she waited to see who he would become.  Just as suddenly as it started, the golden regeneration energy stopped and she stared in awe that he was still the same.  Dizzy with relief, she threw herself into his arms, clutching him as tightly as he was her.  Finally, she was home.

9/16 – Moon

Sitting on the Tower wall with Amy, waiting for news on the cubes, the Doctor stared resolutely at the moon.  Every time he thought of the Ponds’ future his time senses went haywire, and there was a heavy ball of dread in his gut.  He knew this feeling far too well.  For Donna, when he realized she had Time Lord knowledge.  Martha, at the Master’s devastation.  At the Olympics, the grief for his pink-and-yellow love that time has not dulled.  Soon, he knows, the Ponds will join that list.

9/17 – You can trust me

Later, after the snow has melted and after two weeks in Egypt, Donna remembers that skinny, weird alien who begged for her trust.  He’d been so sad, in a fog, like her mum after dad passed.  Watching Sylvia put her life back together, Donna regrets saying no.  He needs someone to keep him going, to stop him going too far.  He needs a friend to boss him around.  Eventually, she decides it should be her, and resolves to find him through strange happenings.  Why are the bees disappearing?

9/18 – Hug

She doesn’t like it when he hugs her.  Never mind the paper cuts she gets (HOW is he so skinny??) it’s just not them – they banter and tease, they don’t do sentiment.  Hugs mean something’s wrong.  Hugs mean danger, and sadness, and weariness.  Pompeii.  The Library. Midnight (the planet, not the time). So when both versions hug her tight within ten minutes, her new, part Time Lord brain starts running calculations. He’s hugging her, and that means something’s wrong.

9/19 – Anxious/Nervous

He shifted nervously at the altar, a small part of him worried his bride would not show.  They loved each other, he knew, and wanted to be married, but at the eleventh hour, who knew what could happen?  Then the trumpets blared, and a vision in white made her way down the aisle, beaming at him.  He took her hand from the father she’d never (always) known, and they giggled together as the preacher began to speak.  “We are gathered here together to join Amelia and Rory in marriage-”

9/20 – Past or Future

He stands there so smug, offering her the choice of backwards or forwards in time.  It seems like a simple enough question, but it felt like so much more.  Backwards or forwards – past or future.  To her, it seems like her choice would be obvious.  She’d been choosing backwards – the past – for years now.  Moving home after Jimmy, getting back with Mickey. But this, now, being here to even get the offer – to her, that said it all.  Letting out a shaky breath, she says “Forwards.”

9/21 – First meeting

It was a perfectly boring Thursday afternoon, the kind he had railed against so frequently as a full Time Lord.  He’d known (hoped) this was coming in the three weeks they’d known, but now in the moment, he felt his heart stop, and then expand.  “Hello, little one.”  He whispered aloud to the fledgling mind brushing against his.  Rising from his desk to find Rose, he promised himself and this small, new life he and Rose had made that he would never curse Thursday afternoons again.

9/22 – Change

Objectively, he knows they’ve both changed in the years they’ve been apart.  She’s obviously flourished here, building the dimension cannon and saving Donna from that artificial parallel universe.  He’s changed as well, shaped by his time with Martha, then Donna, never mind the Master’s torture.  And yet, as they lie wrapped in each other’s arms in Rose’s bed at the mansion on his first night there, he thinks that the most important things haven’t changed.  They still fit in each other’s arms.

9/23 – Smile

After meeting Rose, he thought he’d never see a more wonderful smile.  Now, smiling down at Sarah Jacqueline’s beaming face, he knows he was wrong.  

“You do realize it’s probably just gas, right?”  An exhausted Rose reminds her husband.  

He shrugs, never looking away from his new daughter.  “I don’t really care.  I’ve seen incredible things in my life – stars being born, stars dying, all of time itself.  But this, her – it’s a thousand times better than all of it.”

9/24 – For once, I was wrong

“Okay, okay!”  The Doctor grumbled, as a triumphant Rose smirked. “Fine.  I admit – for once, I was wrong, and you were right.”  

“Haha!”  Rose crowed, pumping her fist in the air.  “See?  S’like Mum always said – sometimes less is more.”  

The Doctor gave her his best glare, though he was easily distracted by the whipped cream on her nose. “I suppose.  But, I hope you know you’re the only one I would share a banana split with, Rose Tyler.”  

“Better with two.” She told him happily.

9/25 – Cuddle

It was petty.  She knew it, but she couldn’t help the thought. In the ways that really mattered, this tall skinny bloke was the same man as her Doctor.  Protecting her, defending the Earth, that smile when he saw her – it was all there.  She still felt guilty though, especially sitting across from her boyfriend, wondering, hoping, that their cuddles would still be the same.  Although, she thought, feeling his hand on her knee, there seemed to be a possibility they would be even better.

9/26 – Happy

It hits her out of the blue one day – she’s happy.  Stopping dead in an alien marketplace, she considers her situation.  In truth, it’s as terrifying as she originally feared. But, she’s found, it’s also amazing. She’s seen some truly awful things, but that gives her a chance to save the day.  To matter.  Because the weird, skinny alien showed her she did.  Speaking of – “Don-na!”  He reappeared in front of her.  “Allons-y!” He’s off again, and she follows. It’s nice to be needed.

9/28 – Pillow Fight

“Oi!”  Jackie barged into the room, eyes squeezed tightly shut. “Do you mind?  Tony can hear you!”  

“Sorry, Jackie.”  The Doctor said sheepishly, before asking, “Uh, why are your eyes closed?”  

Rose laughed, and Jackie carefully opened them to find the couple kneeling on their bed in pajamas, still holding pillows, feathers littered around them.  

“Are you having a pillow fight?”  She asked, incredulous.  

The Doctor blinked. “Of course we are.  What did you think we were doing?”

9/29 – Mine

Objectively, she knows she’s far from the first.  She’s met Martha and Sarah Jane, and knows all about Rose.  But, she can’t help but think, for right now, while she’s on board? The ship, the universe, and yes even the weird alien pilot, are hers.  Only hers.  She knows it won’t last forever, especially if Rose ever returns, but here and now (wherever and whenever that is) it all belongs to her.  Maybe this life isn’t so bad after all.
