Honestly I just wanna post something but I can't get around to finishing my new Doctor's Daughter fic for the as of yet unnamed Doctor Who series so I'm going back to my roots and using the maybe prompt list
23) Don't call me that
29) I'm never leaving, I promise
You burned, your body burned away with a single realization, you loved The Doctor. But not just loved, you were in love. You were in love with The Doctor. The man who saved you and destroyed your world in one day, the man who showed you a glimpse of the universe and left you wanting more. The man in the old blue box.
When a Time Lord regenerates a lot of things can happen, one of which is a loss of consciousness.
When you opened your eyes both The Doctor and Martha were looking down at you. You looked at The Doctor, blinked and smiled, "looks like I won" You said with a lopsided smile.
"Ugh, new mouth, I hate the feeling of a new mouth" You grumbled and tried to bring yourself up but the Doctor's arms quickly surrounded you, helping you up carefully instead. He didn't say anything simply helping you stand.
You tried to take a step on your own only to stumble, your legs felt like burned jelly.
"Doctor" You said carefully and The Doctor kept to himself how much he missed hearing you call him love.
"Yes?" He simply said.
"I don't think I'm done regenerating" You said, fainting into his arms.
The next thing you know you wake up in your room in the Tardis. The feeling of your sheets beneath you and your books and journals lining the walls. Beside you, on a chair you know he brought from somewhere else sat the Doctor. His face was drawn and he looked lost in thought.
You looked over at him and smiled.
"Hello again" You said. He didn't look amused.
"Why did you do that?" He asked.
"What?"
"Why did you force yourself to regenerate?? He asked.
You looked at him trying to both remember what happened and answer, "Doctor—"
"Don't call me that." He said sternly.
You closed your eyes and sighed.
"Love"
"Why did you do it? Why did you put yourself through that? I told you to go to protect you" He said and you sat up, looking him in his gorgeous brown eyes.
"Because I refuse to leave you" You said and he scowled.
"Don't say that—"
"I never want to leave you" You said, taking his hands in yours. You admired the sight.
"Doctor, I love you and I want to spend the rest of my lives with you—"
"No, no, don't say that" He repeated but you held his hands tightly. You knew why he felt this way, why he reacted the way he did but your post regeneration mind still wasn't fully working.
"Do you not feel the same? If you don't, I'll stop—"
"No, I, I" He said. his eyes were tearing up.
"Doctor I love you, do you love me back?" You asked.
"Of course I do, I adore you" He said, "Y/N you light my dark starless sky. You make me feel whole, like I'm no longer alone. It's not that"
"Then what is it?" You asked.
"They always leave." He said solemnly, looking away, "In the end they always leave"
You moved one of your hands up to hold The Doctor's face. forcing him to look at you.
"I'm never leaving, promise" You said and you saw a tiny smile peak it's way through his expression.
"You are brilliant" He whispered and you smiled.
"I love you" You said and he smiled too, a true full smile.
"I love you too" He said.
There was a beautiful moment, the two of you just basking in the love and care you had for one another and then you burst out laughing.
The Doctor was taken aback, his expression only sending you further into your fit of laughter.
"What? What's going on?" He asked only to be met with more laughter.
"Y/N are you okay?" He asked.
"Yes, I—" You could barely control it but you did. You controlled it enough to say, "It's just, stars that was cheesy, I don't know where that came from" You said and you could tell there was a dash of shock and worry on The Doctor's face so you clarified, "I guess this is what I am now. A cheesy romantic"
The Doctor smiled, "There are worse things to be" He said and you nodded.
