#take my breath away – @chiaroscuroverse on Tumblr

A wild headcanon appears! Tentoo can't handle how breathless he gets during snogging sessions with Rose. He's used to a binary vascular system. She can't stop laughing, has to teach him how to breathe when they make out on the sofa. God save him when they finally have sex. GO.

OMG THIS! XD

When Rose starts her breathing lessons, he just pouts and grumbles that he’s been breathing for 900 years so he should be an expert. Then she starts the practical exercises and that stops his complaining for a while.

Tentoo does have to take things slow, despite the fact he really wants a full relationship with Rose. But he’s so much more self-conscious of himself than ever before. He’s so accustomed to a body that he has full control over. Now all it takes is one smile from Rose to get his heart pumping and his whole body starts betraying him at the most inopportune moments and it takes him ages to reign himself back in and calm down.

Rose is patient with him, letting him determine the pace of their physical relationship. She gives him the time he needs to explore and figure out what they both like and dislike. But the whole breathing thing remains an issue. Slowly but surely, he gets used to the whole thing… but not before he literally passes out on her the first time they make love.

He gets better after that.

Although… he does play this song whenever he’s in the mood. Or he did until Rose begun laughing so hard that she nearly passed out.

Send me your Tentoo x Rose headcanons

You want me to stop? Shall we address your tags then, hmmm?

#tentoo x rose#they’re engrossed in their books on the sofa and he’s got his glasses on#now she’s still a bit timid around him because they’re getting to know each other still but when he does stuff like this#reads intensely some impossibly dull anatomy book about some alien that she knows would bore her to tears wearing those glasses#it reminds her of all the times she wanted to jump the bones of the time lord#only this time she can do it#so she surges forward#throwing the book out of his hands and starts to snog him#terribly messy snogging where their hands are moving frantically over each other and their bodies are reacting to one another’s#and Rose is an expert at this by now#every time she lets his tongue slide into her mouth she’s nailed breathing out of years of practice and its a reflex now#but she’ll start nibbling away at his bottom lip and starts bursting into laughter because the poor sod sounds like he’s gonna faint#“you alright? You got this?”#“how the bloody hell do you lot do this? This a skill you’re taught in school?”#“believe it or not no - we’re not taught how to snog in school” but she leans in to kiss him more gently#and every now and then she’ll just say “breathe” and she hears him suck in a sharp breath#and just when they think he might have mastered it things get a little more heated at Jake’s party and they start getting handsy#she drags him outside away from the party and pushes him up against a tree#and he pulls her hips and spins them around and now her back’s against the tree and she’s hitching her legs up around his waist#and she starts unbuttoning his trousers and any progress they made has gone#and they have to start all over again from the beginning

Might I also add that he starts to practice holding his breath in day to day life. Like if he goes for a run, he tries going a while without breathing, and then some passerby has to help him to a bench and call Rose because he nearly did a purple-faced dive into the pavement.

He also nearly drowns in Jackie’s pool trying to build up his tolerance. That was an interesting conversation.

Rose just finds the whole thing adorable. He’s doing all of this so he can make her happy.

Also when he FINALLY gets a handle on it… Rose is REALLY happy. xD

Can you imagine the conversation between him and Jackie though?

“What the bleedin’ hell you think you’re doing? You tryna kill yourself now you’ve only got one life?”

“Jackie! No, I was… preparing for - well actually, now you mention it, there’s a swimming competition - I thought I might try my hand at swimming.”

“That’s a lie.”

“No! Honest!”

“Definitely a lie. Fess up, now.”

“I’m just… trying to build up my tolerance, that’s all! Just drop it!”

“In a pool? By drowning?”

“For God’s sake Jackie, I can’t kiss your bloody daughter without passing out, alright!”

And it’s of course at this point that Rose opens up a window upstairs and shouts down “Good one, love.”
