written for: @doctorroseprompts June prompt: Domestic Life in the TARDIS (yeah, I know, I’m late). I’ve always been intrigued by Rose’s statement to Jack about the Doctor’s shaving habits. Maybe this is how it happened.
“See you in ten seconds’ time, yeah?”

After saying goodbye to her mother and Mickey, Rose closed the door behind her and walked up the ramp toward the time rotor. The Doctor danced around the console flipping switches, pushing buttons, and finally pulling a lever that had the engines groaning. When she could feel the stability of being in the time vortex, Rose picked up her rucksack from the jumpseat and swung it over her shoulder.
“Erm…”
The Doctor looked up at Rose. “Oh! You’ll be wantin’ a room. Remember how to get to the wardrobe?”
Rose scrunched her brow trying to replay in her mind how she’d gotten to the wardrobe room the day before. “I…I think so.”
“First left, second right, third on the left, go straight ahead, under the stairs, past the bins-”
A soft smile appeared on Rose’s face at his exuberant directions. “Yeah. I remember now.”
“Okay, well go passed the wardrobe room and take the very next hallway. All the guest rooms are there. The TARDIS’ll let you know which one’s yours.”
“Thanks!” Rose gave the Doctor a quick hug and took off down the corridor to find her room.
