The TARDIS landed with a thud hard enough to shake the console. Rose barely managed to catch herself on the nearby railing, but the Doctor, occupied with the controls, was thrown to the floor, landing on his right hand. He tried to play it off with a laugh, but she noticed the way he winced as he got up.

 

“Doctor?” she asked, worried. “Are you all right?”

 

“Me?” he returned. “Of course I’m all right. Are you?” His voice was cheerful, but she saw right through it, especially when he grimaced as he tapped a couple of buttons with his injured hand. 

 

She moved closer to him and took his hand in hers. “Let me make it better,” she whispered, pressing a soft kiss to each of his fingers and then the palm of his hand. She watched as his eyes closed at her touch and a little puff of air escaped his lips. She cradled his hand between hers and his eyes fluttered back open.

 

“Thank you,” he said quietly, awed.

 

“All better?” she asked, gently running her fingers over his.

 

“All better,” he echoed, twining his fingers through hers and pulling her out the door of the TARDIS.
