If You Want

Summary: Tentoo and Rose have just been left alone on the beach in Norway. But what kind of life do they each envision “spending it with you” entails?

Notes: For a variety of @doctorroseprompts Tentoo x Rose prompts this week, but specifically “just after the beach, figuring things out.“

He had known this was coming. It was his mind in another body that had devised it, after all. But it didn’t make it any easier to see the pain and confusion on Rose’s face as she stared at the spot in the sand where the TARDIS had been.

She understood the explanations left unsaid, he knew. He didn’t doubt her clever mind had worked out the Time Lord’s intentions. But her heart would need more time. More time for what, he wasn’t sure, but his inner Donna told him to be sensitive and the rest of him was all too eager to put off difficult conversations if it meant he could keep her holding on to his hand for dear life as she had been since the dematerlization sequence made the blue box pulse out of sight. Feeling lucky (the luckiest man in existence), he had slipped his palm against hers and entwined their fingers. He’d held his breath until she made a move in response. Would she pull away? Shout? Cry?

No, she stroked his thumb with her own and met his gaze.

The sun set rather quickly on their walk to the nearest village. They were only a few miles out, but it progressed in bursts of questions from Jackie, which he answered as best he could, and carefully worded questions from him about this universe and their time here that received short, nervous answers from Rose. The whole thing was so out of character for the three of them that it was almost comical, but none of them dared comment on it.

They reached a seaside bed and breakfast with a (fitting) nautical theme just as their stomachs began to rumble.

“I’ll check in,” Jackie offered when they reached the oak captain wheel that served as a reception desk. “You two go on.” She nodded to the dining area where the other guests were gathering for the evening meal.

Rose checked the Doctor’s face to see what he thought, but he just shrugged and said, “After you.”

Chapter 8: Scintilla

On the road to the airport in Tempsford, Betty made a list of clues learnt from Albert Waters about the murder:

  • Belgian
  • Agent
  • Arrived in Autumn
  • Needed a lock picked
  • Rich?
  • Jérémie afraid, had remorse. Wanted out?

She read it outloud to Jean-François. He didn’t respond right away. Whether he was lost in thoughts or focused on the road she didn’t know until he clicked his jaw, a sure sign he was pondering the matter at hand.

“He might not be an agent,” he said.

“How d’you mean?”

“What is it Albert said? Only that he went to France, correct?”

Betty crossed out ‘agent’ on her list and replaced it with ‘went to France.’

“Could be a pilot,” she mused.

“Yes. Or one of De Gaulle’s boys. Their HQ is only a street away from ours.”

“And I thought Belgium had its own S.O.E. section.”

F-section was created before the Belgian one, so it could be a Belgian man recruited early on. Or a Belgian trying to pass off as French. Or Albert had lied to them. Or Jérémie had lied to Albert to protect his lover.

“God, we’re not getting any closer, are we?”

“Don’t worry. We will get there,” he said, possibly more to reassure her than out of faith in their success.
