Drabble: Just Checking

Title: Just Checking
Author: Lindenharp
Rating: Teen, for vague mention of sexual activity
Characters: Ninth Doctor/Jack Harkness, Rose Tyler
Genre: drabble
Word Count: 100
Spoilers: none
Summary: You can't be too careful or too thorough
Disclaimer: The sandbox belongs to the BBC. I'm just playing here, in the corner, making little sand-TARDISes. Not making any money, not asserting any claims.
A/N: This is for yamx, who stumped me.  Her prompt was "Nine/Jack, checking".

 

The radiation storm overloads the TARDIS’s systems, leaving only minimal power.  They land on the nearest planet to make repairs.

Rose makes tea over a lab burner.  The Doctor and Jack gobble some sandwiches, then return to work.  “Got to check every system, make sure they're in good workin’ order,” the Doctor explains.

It takes two days.  Rose luxuriates in a hot bath.  The blokes collapse on Jack's bed; even the Doctor needs sleep.  He wakes to find Jack's hand stroking a very sensitive spot.

Jack's smile promises even more.  "Gotta check that every system is in good working order."

*coughs* Is that what Jack's calling it now?

He calls it a manual systems check, actually. :-)
