No First Chance, Let Alone A Second (Ten/Rose, PG, drabble)

[preserved_ginger]

Title: No First Chance, Let Alone A Second
Characters: The Doctor
Pairings: Ten/Rose, implied Nine/Rose
Rating: PG
Notes: Not beta-ed. Sparked off something I saw in TCI the other day (yes, I am slowly starting to watch Ten again.)
Timeline: The Christmas Invasion
Summary: You can’t always get what you want.

He discovers very quickly what sort of a man he is where Rose is concerned. Regeneration didn’t change how he feels about her; he ensured that.

Sitting at the dinner table he could stare at her for hours and still not get enough. For a few fleeting minutes he lets himself believe that he could have what he’s craved for years: to be part of a family.

To belong.

But then Rose mentions Harriet Jones. Reality crashes back in, and yet again he’s forced to deny himself his hearts’ desire. The thing he wants above all others.

The one adventure he cannot have.

You realize of course I have to go write fluff for you to beta now, right?

I told you this was coming, last night. Finally made the words write themselves.

Fluff is good (I am rubbish at writing it, though ;D)
