Dedication: For requialexa.
Summary: Jack is the first person they visit.

After she comes back – when they're capable of keeping their hands off each other in public, and each is more-or-less comfortable with the idea of letting the other be more than a hand's-breadth away from them – Jack is the first person they visit.

Rose, because she hasn't seen him in – oh, so long. The Doctor, because he has something to ask of him.

When Jack has finished hugging Rose ’til she's almost out of breath, the Doctor puts his hand on his shoulder and asks if he might have a word. Jack nods, and the two of them retreat outside for a few minutes. When they come back in, Jack watches as the Doctor approaches Rose with a look in his eyes that he wishes was directed at him.

“Doctor?” Rose has noticed the look in the Doctor's eyes; Jack can tell, because her voice betrays her nervousness. And Rose is not the only one who’s nervous – the Doctor's hand has found its way to his head and his fingers are ruffling through his hair.

“Rose.” The Doctor's voice is like honey as his whole attention shifts to her; Jack doesn’t need telling that his presence is surplus to requirements, and he slips away unnoticed.

When he comes back some time later, the Doctor has Rose in his arms and is whispering something to her. Jack clears his throat to announce his presence and the two of them look up. Jack doesn't think he's ever seen the Doctor look quite so happy.

“So … I take it you two have something you want to tell me?”

Aww! Cute. Lovely fluff.

See, not everything I write is drowning in angst (just most of it)!

Excellent as always.

Thanks!

Aww. So sweet and lovely:)

Thanks! I’m giving fluff-writing a try, and it’s not as difficult as I thought it was. Might even try doing some more of it!

[maniacalshen.livejournal.com]

Awwww!

[bananasandroses.livejournal.com]

Awwww!

Ain’t it just the cutest thing?

I have an idea or two for a follow-up to this, so we’ve not seen the end of fluff just yet ...

[brilliantomega.livejournal.com]

Aww. Cute.

Where are you?!?!?!

[bananasandroses.livejournal.com]

Aww. Cute.

Isn’t it just? I quite like writing fluff after all; it isn’t as difficult as I’d thought it’d be.

I don’t often write Jack, and I write (like this) from his POV even less often. Hope it was reasonably in character?

Here's that icon again, for you :)

Oh, thank you! I really do love it.

[sej-1986.livejournal.com]

I don't know Jack too well, but from what I have seen, this seems about right! :)

[bananasandroses.livejournal.com]

Excellent; glad to hear it.

Where’s that icon from, by the way? I don’t think I’ve seen that particular expression on his face before (but that’s probably ’cause I’ve not been looking properly.)

You mean this one? It's from the new extended trailer, when Donna asks him if he thinks it's a good thing that Rose is coming back. He smiles and says "yeah" and it just makes me squee and melt *sigh*

This? This, is exactly perfect - just as it is.

...happy sigh...

[bananasandroses.livejournal.com]

This? This, is exactly perfect - just as it is.

I was looking for something that was in character but not too sweet. I take it I did OK? ;D

Thank you!

OH! That was so made of happy and sweetness! You do great fluff! I love all that you didn't say here, rather you presented their expressions, movements. It really is very well done.

Jack watches as the Doctor approaches Rose with a look in his eyes that he wishes was directed at him.

Loved that!
and this:

"Rose.” The Doctor's voice is like honey as his whole attention shifts to her; Jack doesn’t need telling that his presence is surplus to requirements, and he slips away unnoticed.

Honey? Guh.

And thank you <3
