Worth It?

Title: Worth It?
Character(s): Ten. Mentions throughout of Rose.
Pairing: Ten I/Rose
Rating: 12
Disclaimer: Not mine
A/N: Back to Journey’s End, I’m afraid. Canon compliant, too. Sorry about that.
Spoilers: Journey’s End
Summary: Was it worth it, in the end?

What was the reason you’d given yourself for not allowing Rose to stay with you? Oh, that was it – you’d wanted to keep a part of yourself back, were desperate not to lose yourself in her, because she’d wither and die long before you and you couldn’t bear to watch.

So you pushed her into the arms of the man who is you in every way except the one that matters – and, now you’ll never see her again, is the pain or grief any the less? Of course it isn't.

Was it worth it, in the end?

Was it, really?

Ooh, this made me hurt for Ten. Lovely writing as always.

Someday soon I hope to lose the urge to throttle Ten for acting this way. Love Rose, push her away, lose her. Repeat. Argh.

I liked it, its a good question, which I hope Ten asks himself every minute of every day (sorry, a little upset with him, lol).... and I'd love for a sequel?
