Work Text:
The TARDIS had landed with its usual soft thud, the familiar music of its engines slowly quieting down. The previous adventure had been quite intense, even by the Doctor’s standards, and even after being back in the safety of the TARDIS library safely tucked under a blanket on the sofa, you were still thinking about it.
It's been a while since you last smoked, you usually didn’t, except when you were with friends or needed to unwind, just like now. The Doctor had probably already found something to busies herself with, and the others went back to their rooms. So with slightly shaky hands, you light up a cigarette ,taking a deep drag and feeling the familiar burn in your lungs.
The calm doesn’t last very long. Just as you were starting to relax a bit , a voice you know very well breaks the silence that was present in the room.
“Didn’t know you smoked”
You whip around to see the Doctor, she was standing near the entry of the library, a hand on her hips, her expression a mix of curiosity and concern. Her gorgeous blonde hair reflects the soft glow of the TARDIS lights, making her look even more beautiful.
“I don’t," you reply, exhaling a cloud of smoke with a soft smile on your face.”Not usually.”
Your eyes are closed ,but you can hear her soft footsteps coming near you ,by now the Doctor stands right before you, and you sight because of the clear worry in her hazel eyes.
“Is it because of what happened today?”
Giving her a soft nod, not wanting to meet her eyes. ”Today was quite a lot... but I'm alright now, I just needed something to relax.”
“Mind if I sit down?” The Doctor softly said brows drew together.
“Of course not,” you reply, mouth curved into a smile.
As she sits down, you can feel her weight on the sofa, both your thighs softly brushing against each other, you feel her warmth slowly engulfing you. The Doctor gently takes your cigarette from your fingers, and you let her. She finds the ashtray near you and she puts out the cigarette.
“There are better ways to deal with stress, you know. ”The Doctor quietly said, brushing a strand of your hair away.
You sigh ,feeling a pang of guilt coursing through you, and you also feel your cheeks burn due to the close proximity with the Timelord."I know. It's just... sometimes It's overwhelming. Being with you, seeing the things we see, doing the things we do. I love it, but it's hard."
The Doctor nods, adjusting herself a little closer to you on the sofa,”I understand. More than you know.”
You turn to look at her, ”Really?”
She smiles softly at you, “Oh,I've had my fair share of moments like this. You know traveling through time and space isn’t always easy. But you, you are so strong, and much braver than you give yourself credit for.”
She reaches out, taking your hands in hers. ”And you’re not alone, remember? We're in this together.”
The warmth of her touch makes you go dizzy ,and as she rubs your palm softly while looking at you with a loving gaze, a comforting wave washes through you. You can feel the tension begin to melt away. ”Thanks Doctor.”
“Anytime,” She says,squeezing your hand gently
No one says anything for a while, you two are just basking in the presence of each other, the Doctor is lazily playing with your fingers and you can’t help but smile at the blonde being so touchy and quiet with you. Which makes you wonder if what you're going to say next is going to ruin everything.
“Can I hug you Doctor?” you say lifting your head,looking straight into her warm brown eyes radiating like a golden sun.
“Yes.”
Before you can even move, she pulls you into a gentle embrace, squeezing you like you're gonna disappear at any moment. You place your chin on her shoulder near her collarbones, maybe almost dying was worth it. If the Doctor was this clingy after, you thought smiling to yourself.
As you sit there, wrapped in each other's arms, the Doctor whispers softly in your ear, "You know, I would drown even the stars for you."
These words send a shiver through you."And I'd follow you anywhere," you answer without hesitation, your voice laced with adoration. You then laugh softly, a combination of relief and joy.
"You say that to all the girls, don't you?"
The Doctor pulls back a little, scrunching up her nose, clearly offended "Goodness no. Only the special ones."
You smile,feeling already a lot better than you have all day. "Well, I guess I'm a special one, then."
She smiles, her eyes shining with love and genuine affection. "Very special. The most special."
Suddenly your breath catches in your throat, as you look into her hazel eyes, your body acting on its own you kiss her. The kiss starts gently, and you can feel all the love you have for each other poured into it. But the kiss quickly deepens as your hands find their ways into the blonde hairs. At this the Doctor is pulling you even closer, at your soft whimpers, the Doctor hums seeming pleased with herself for making you make that sound.
The Doctor’s hands slowly and lovingly slides up your back, sending shivers to where her skin had met yours. Your grips on her blonde locks grow even stronger at this. A soft moan escapes your lips as her tongue brushes softly against yours, you can hear the Timelord literally groan at this.
As the kiss deepens even more, you can feel the Doctor shift pushing you down on the sofa, on your back giving her the opportunity to straddle you. Her body now pressed firmly against yours, you can feel both her hearts pounding in her chest. As she goes from soft little kisses from the face to the jaw to the neck, to hungrily leaving marks on your neck.
You cling to her like she is your oxygen, your hands gripping her shoulders, “You’re so warm, and it turns me on so much.”The Doctor says, voice dripping with lust.
“Fuck me,” you whispers harshly as you grinds down against her, chasing her lips, for another kiss. Which she happily indulges you, as she kisses you back with even more fervor than before.
Very out of breath, you pull back from the kiss, the both of you are panting, her eyes are glued to you. The Doctor's hands slowly cups your cheeks, her thumb oh so softly rubbing it.
“I care about you, so much,” she whispers quietly, her eyes filled with so much fondness and adoration.
“I love you too,” you reply, your voice also filled with very much the same infatuation as her.
Before any of you can lean for another kiss, the doors of the library swing open with a very loud creak. You both freeze, as you look up, the Doctor also turns her head towards the door.
“Wow.” Yaz says her voice filled with amusement, especially at the faces of absolute despair you and the Doctor were making.
Graham, who was standing beside Yaz, raises an eyebrow, a sly smile forming on his face. ”Well, this is unexpected.”
Then of course Ryan pops up chuckling to himself.
”Guess we missed the memo about the TARDIS turning into love island.”
You and the Doctor quickly sit up, cheeks flushing with obvious embarrassment at being caught. ”We were just…talking” The Doctor stutters, clearly flustered.
You can see Yaz and Ryan cackling with laughter at the Doctor's pitiful excuses. Then Graham shoots you both a knowing look. “No need to explain doc, We’re happy for you both.”
Ryan and Yaz both nod in agreement, “Yeah really, about time too.” Ryan adds
You and the Doctor exchange a sheepish smile, the Doctor reaches for your hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
“Thanks guys,” you say, feeling very happy about the outcome of the day. ”It means a lot, you know”
Yaz smiles, stepping back, going near the corridor.
”Well, I guess we’ll leave you guys alone. Just maybe next time think about locking the door? Before you know….”
As the fam slowly leaves the library, you and the Doctor suddenly burst into a fit of laughter together, you pull her closer, and she keeps you close,hugging you.
“Well, I guess next time we’ll have to be more careful,” you say, chuckling quietly still in her embrace.
The Doctor just hums softly, you both settle back on your previous spot on the sofa, you can feel yourself falling asleep in the Doctor loving embrace, as the exhaustion of today catches up to you.
