Summary
He’s known… well, not quite from the moment they’d first found each other again, because when he’d first seen her his brain had simply stopped, grinded to a halt as his eyes drank her in, and he couldn’t have focused on a single thing other than the repeated mantra of her name (RoseRoseRose) as he held her again with arms that he thought would never get to know her touch.
But soon after that, at least. He’s known since approximately then that eventually… eventually he would have to tell her about the room on the TARDIS that was somehow both hers from him and also his from her--hers from him in the literal sense, and his from her in that her very presence managed to comfort him within those walls, despite the fact that she’d never once stepped foot through the door, not physically. He’d brought her in instead, piece by piece, gift by gift, and with each one the memories of her and all of the feelings she evoked in him seemed to saturate the shelves and the walls and the floor until he could practically bask in them all, until he could simply rest in this place that had been created for them and let the nostalgia and yearning wash over him until he all but drowned in it.
