Jack had once wondered if he could fit into the domestic life that the Doctor had built with Rose without realizing, but he had serious doubts from his observation of the couple's first dance. The fact that she had declined his hand and took the one that the man with ears like a monkey offered, spoke volumes about her preferences.

He had then wondered if they would make that rare and elusive fully stable three way relationship, but it took watching the two of them for a bit for him to realize that their love was so big, there was no room for him to squeeze in. He liked Rose, and he loved the Doctor in the slightly abstracted way that you could love something like a god to your profession, in his case, time travel.

But they loved each other with a passion and depth that Jack had never felt in all of his wandering ways. He saw the broken mess that had lost her and he held out that it was only a matter of time until she found him. If he was that messed up from her, and he'd seen no more than a passing fancy on the Doctor's side when he'd left, then she would be even worse.

What the Doctor didn't realize was the reasons that he picked his companions. It was for their ability to not panic when faced with a difficult situation, but to instead stand up and refuse to back down, doing what must be done. What the Doctor'd never realized about Rose was that she was brilliant, smart enough to keep up and be an excellent companion without any sort of formal education, no fancy classes, just understanding and learning as they went.

Years later, he would remark that he was looking for 'his Rose', and everyone jumped to the conclusion that he was looking for a woman, which was a lie. He was looking for an ideal, a partner that could complete him as easily as she completed the Doctor. Sometimes though, sometimes they directed him to a flower shop.
jack wandered in and knocked politely a couple of weeks ago. Today he charmed my pants off and I actually posted this, several weeks delayed.
