Pair of drabbles: Doctor Who

Titles: "Sweet", and "Bitter"
Characters: Ninth Doctor, Jack, Rose
Rating: Teen
Summary: Goes with Candy.



Sweet


The lad must be aware of the effect he has on people. On the Doctor.

Jack flirts with little glances, smiles fired off like projectiles. Very smooth. And very sincere.

When the Doctor doesn't want to resist anymore, he pulls Jack abruptly (gently) up, just long enough to take his mouth and let it go again, press himself against Jack's strong body, and savor his delicious shock. The way his hands clutch at the Doctor's shoulders.

It's wrong, a bad mistake, because he never touches his companions that way. But he won't regret it yet. Jack's lips were so sweet.





Bitter


Rose is too young, too innocent, and too human. The Doctor never lets himself forget all the reasons he's not allowed to want her.

He pauses outside her room one evening. The door is a heavy one, a solid barrier against him, but he can hear shrieks and giggles inside -- what are they doing in there? As if he couldn't guess. And he wonders at the hurt that he feels. He knows if he knocks, they'll ask him in.

He doesn't knock. He turns away, feeling his tongue curl behind his teeth and the longing in his hearts turn bitter.

These are very aptly named. The first one OS very sweet, and the second one is heartbreaking.

Thanks! Titles are tough for me, so that may be the first time I've ever heard that. *g*

*ggg* It's Nine! He can't help it!

It's not impossible that there would be more. But they haven't told me what happens next.

Silly Doctor. When do we get the part where he comes to his senses? (Or Rose and Jack bring his senses to him, as the case may be).

I finally got around to reading these, and now I wish I had read them far sooner; they're bitter-sweet, and so very, very true to Nine's nature.
