[IC] The Universe doesnt care (Me and Lynxoynx04)

[Magic223]

Jack nodded and was looking at the Doctor "I want to make sure he gets better." He was very worried for his friend. He goes and gets a blanket and a pillow for the Doctor. He can see the time lord is laying there weakly. He puts the blanket over and gives him the pillow.
He hoped the Doctor will feel better soon. He knows the Doctor would prefer his own bed. But figures the time lord is too weak and sick to move again.
After he makes sure the Doctor is ok, he heads out of the room as he has paper work to do.
"I'll come check in on you two later." he smiled softly.

The Doctor was laying there. He coughed more. When he was finished his tea. He curled up in the blankets and stayed close to Rose. He had tears in his eyes. He didn't seem like he was going to get better that quickly.
The time lord knew he needed the time to get better. He was feeling quite ill.
"Rose... I...," He wanted to say he loved her in return. But those words were so hard to say.
He was also afraid of losing her. He cried harder. The Doctor's fever was very high.

[ladyonyx04]

"I dun need the words Doctor. When you're ready to say them, I will be more than happy to hear 'em." Rose said honestly clearing his cheeks from his tears a warm smile on her lips not all that tired even when she had a brutal landing in this universe. She had gotten the rest while out cold and she had a certain energy even if she wasn't using it. She grabbed the towel again and once more wiped down his feverish face knowing that he had liked her doing it. Gwen and Owen left the medbay to the two whose attention was to the other occupant in the bed.

[Magic223]

The Doctor lay there feeling ill. He knew she had gotten upset in the past when he didn't say it. "You used to want me to say it." He whispered. His throat was hurting. He stroked her hair. He was laying down as he felt so weak to stay upright.
He just smiled when she wiped his feverish face, It made him feel better. The Doctor was looking at her.
JAck was working on some paper work.
The time lord coughed and whimpered a bit from feeling miserable.
He didn't want to be feeling miserable either.

[ladyonyx04]

Rose smiles a predatory one. "Do not misunderstand me. I want to hear the words. From your lips. And I will get 'em. I just have to be patient. You're sick cause ya haven't been taking care o' yourself." She said as she soothe the cool cloth against his throat figuring that it was sore from his hoarse voice. She relaxed as he pulled a hand through her hair knowing that he needed the reassurance that she was there. "And besides I am stubborn enough to outwait you." She said willing to put that to the test wondering how many years she would have of her not aging.
Gwen, Owen, Toshiko, and Ianto were busy with their own things. Tosh was still teaching everything she knew to her protégé. Her replacement had to be convinced as well as everyone here that they weren't nutters or conspiracy theorists. But she came around as quickly as any of the others had, able to learn quick and having a pretty impressive memory for a human. Ianto was cleaning the area he used as well as making sure that the Pterodactyl was happy, giving her dark chocolate.

[Magic223]

The Doctor smiled weakly "I didn't think you would be patient for those words." He closed his eyes. He knew she got upset when he didn't say it. He ran a hand through her hair. He still spoke in a hoarse voice. He coughed more turning to his side.
The time lord cuddled with her. He wanted to say he loved her.
He whimpered some more and leaned over grabbing a bucket. He threw up. He seemed to be cursing in gallifreyian soon as he sat up again. He regretted eating. The time lord sighed and closed his eyes.
Jack finished his paper work and went to see how his team was going.

[ladyonyx04]

Rose rubs comforting circles on her Doctor's back knowing that in order to get better he would have to expel whatever bug was in him. Her nose scrunched up a bit only understanding one word there. Hmm. She wondered if this had anything to do with the fact that she was Bad Wolf for a time and what it had done to her. What would she be able to do? His language was starting to make sense even if it just was a word. Would it get better the more she was exposed to it? She had no answers to that. "Well who knew you had a sailor's mouth?" She asked with a slight teasing note in her voice. "I'm sorry, but I wanted you to have something to eat. You didn't have to have that much." She says apologetically, but figuring that this would have been a little worse without his having had something to eat. "I will be patient but even a priest has limits to what they will and will not take for long." She says knowing that adventures and other things would keep her mind off of his not saying it yet, but for now knowing that he did from his clone was good enough for her. How long that was going to last though, she didn't know that neither.
Tosh showed some signs of early Rift activity not that far from there -as if they ever really were all that far located from HQ.- It didn't seem to be another weevil but he had said to tell him when and where rift activity happened.

[Magic223]

The Doctor coughed and threw up. He groaned and lay a hand across his stomach. "I just hate feeling this way." He curled up a bit. He shivered. He was feeling really awful. "I didn't think I would throw up... but now I really regret eating."
His skin was so pale. He just rested his head on Rose. He coughed and gasped a bit.
The time lord was sweating. He closed his eyes starting to fall asleep.
"I L..Love you." The words seemed to just slip from his mouth as he fell asleep.
JAck seemed pleased with how things were going. He hummed a bit.

[ladyonyx04]

"Half delirious and burning with fever, and you finally say it." Rose says softly wiping down his sweating face trying to keep his temperature down. "I love you too my Doctor." She says placing a small kiss onto his cheek. She stayed awake to make sure he would be alright. Gwen took Owen and went to check out the activity saying that they'd be back Owen rolling his eyes but knowing to follow her since she was stubborn enough to drag him if needed.

[Magic223]

Jack was making sure that everything else was going well before he went to check on them "How is he doing?" he asked Rose. He knew the Doctor must be really sick and weak right now. He saw the doctor was coughing in his sleep.
He seemed be thinking.
The Doctor was breathing deeply. He wrapped his arms around Rose. He seemed to be as relaxed as he could be. It though didnt take long until the Doctor was distressed and having nightmares. He thrashed and was rolling around a bit.
"Rose.......!!" The Doctor cried out. He seemed very unhappy as he slept.

[ladyonyx04]

"Well, currently he's having a nightmare." Rose said as she made sure the Doctor didn't hurt himself by laying on him and once more her heightened mental senses brushed against his walls as if to reassure him that she was there. She drew circles on his wrists as she held him onto the bed, pretty much straddling him. "Not. One. Word. Harkness." She said not bothering to look up to know that Jack had a coy smile on his lips and was going to make a lewd suggestion of some sort. Years may have passed, but one didn't just forget who they were because of that fact. After all, Jack was still a flirt after waiting for the Doctor for one hundred years. She was grateful for that, but she couldn't afford to be distracted when she was doing her best at assuring the love of her life that she was here and safe.

[Magic223]

The Doctor was breathing deeply. He moved closer to her. He wasn't looking at all very well. He wanted to get better. He was looking rather distressed in his sleep. He calmed down with Rose's touch and just slept.
Jack was looking at her and grinned "You ruin all my fun Rose." The man said. He had been wanting to say something, He did hate it when the Doctor or Rose or even anybody cut him off from saying stuff.
"He really doesn't look well, I wonder how long hes been ill with no help. Hes avoided me awhile." He sighed.

[ladyonyx04]

Rose smiles her special tongue touched one at Jack. "Oh come off it. I knew you were about to say something lewd. And I know that you knew that I knew that. I have to take care o' this daft man, cause apparently when he's alone he forgets to." She said a thoughtful expression on her face as she continued her soothing touch on her Doctor's skin. "I don't think he meant to really, but he doesn't like to look back. I think its too painful for him. Imagine you are the very last o' your kind and had to destroy them in order to save the universe. And you don't think you deserve any kindness. What would you do if you found someone who made that deed lesser by being there? And then having that person ripped from you not once, or twice, but four times? Would you want to be around people?" She asks softly understanding the Doctor as only she could.

[Magic223]

The Doctor was looking pale. He breathed deeply and moaned a few times. He wasn't feeling too well at all. The time lord stayed close to Rose as he felt cold, though he was burning with a fever. He whimpered a bit.
JAck was looking at her "Still you ruin my fun." he laughed. He knew that they sometimes didn't tolerate some of the things he said and did. He was looking at the Doctor "Yeah I know... I just would have helped if he was this miserable."
He hated seeing his friend like this. "He must have finally wanted somebody to come here,"

[ladyonyx04]

Rose wiped down her Doctor's feverish face with the wet cloth handing it to Jack. "Would you mind cooling this down again with cold water? I hafta get this fever down." She asked nicely knowing that Jack didn't mind her cutting on his fun, as she had to remind the Doctor not to be rude, she had often had to cut Jack's lewd comments off a lot of times while traveling together. Lord knows what kind of trouble that mouth had gotten him into. And out of. If anyone could out talk the Doctor out of a situation, it was Jack. "I know you don't mind otherwise you wouldn't let me do so and still say what was on your mind anyway." She points out knowing that not even she would be able to stop him if he was serious about saying what was on his fifty-first century mind.

[Magic223]

JAck was looking at her. He goes and wets the cloth again with cold water. He was worried about his friend. "Here." He passed her the cloth. The time lord was very sick and Jack knew that. "I suppose." he replied.
The Doctor was coughing again and he groaned clinging to Rose, He was shaking.
"After all this time I am glad you two found each other again. He really needs you and I think hes been miserable since leaving you behind again and wiping Donna's memories I don't think hes travelled with anybody since."

[ladyonyx04]

"Oh no. I liked Donna. She was enjoyable. But I suppose that's what happens when a Time Lord consciousness and a human's mix. It's either that or their entire body burns. Literally." Rose said having had first experience with that. She would never blame the Doctor for doing something he had thought was right, but she still did owe him a slap for his stupidity, but that would come when he was feeling better and least expecting it. She once more wiped down the Doctor's face hoping that this fever would break. "He should never be alone. He knows that. Even if we weren't here, he should have someone being with him. But I'm here, and I will go with him through time and space in the TARDIS as it should be. And I will not let anything tear us apart again." She vowed her eyes glowing gold for a moment with her determination that nothing happen to her Doctor while she was around. She would tear apart the person who tried to separate them limb from limb, or casing through casing until she taught that enemy the true meaning of unadulterated fear.

[Magic223]

"Yeah she was a good friend to him when he really needed it. I know she cheered him up when he was down. Donna liked me I think," Jack smirked a bit. "But yes... he was devasted after wiping her memory but that was all he could do to save her. I think he'd rather know she was safe and alive."
The immortal said. He was looking at her. "But your right he always needs somebody and he really loves you, I doubt he will let anything else happen now."
The time lord was still breathing deeply. The Doctor was so sick.
"Rose..." He muttered in his sleep.

[ladyonyx04]

Rose smiles at Jack knowing that the Doctor loved her from his telling her so, just recently and once more clears off the warmth on his head. "What is it Doctor?" She murmurs softly in order not to wake up the sick Time Lord. It wouldn't do for him not to get the rest he needed. He was sick and needed it more than ever since she doubted that he had slept. He was silly that way, but she would take care of him as long as he wanted her there by his side to do so. As long as he realized that she wasn't the same Rose Tyler that he had met some years ago. She had to go through Pete's Torchwood training and it was grueling but she now could hold her own against several different alien species. She never killed though, that she had managed to do, beyond that Dalek when finally able to come through to this universe with the cannon. It hadn't been easy especially when in that parallel time line where Donna hadn't saved the Doctor and he had drowned. That had almost broken her beyond recovery seeing his dead body laying on that stretcher and hearing Donna saying that he was gone. She had to keep chanting that the time line was wrong in order to get her to normal functions again, and that had taken them precious months in Pete's linear time. Whatever he needed, she would willingly give to him, didn't matter what.

[Magic223]

The Doctor was still asleep and merely just mumbling in his sleep. He rolled over. He seemed to be muttering things from the past as well. He stayed as close to her as he could. The time lord was feverish and sick. He needed rest.
After awhile he woke up feeling miserable. He coughed and gasped a bit. He seemed so dazed and weak. He leaned over his bucket and he was coughing. He retched a bit and threw up. The time lord was pale and he shivered.
Jack was looking at the Doctor as he woke. He was worried and wondered what to do. He knew the Doctor was going through a lot right now. He wanted to help as much as he could. He did feel bad for not knowing any of this.
"Oh Doctor," He sighed, He goes to fetch the Doctor some water and medicine.

[ladyonyx04]

"And you wonder why I say not to constantly lick things." Rose says rubbing his back soothingly, her tone slightly teasing trying to get his mind off the fact that he was sick and miserable. She knew that Jack knew what not to get especially since she had warned Owen about it so trusted the immortal to get something her Doctor could take. After he was done, she once more began to wipe his face down, especially his lips her cheeks a little pink as she thought about kissing them. Perhaps later, when he was better and his teeth were brushed. Then she would.
