Dottore had never understood the point of oneself indulging themself in feeble and temporal relationships except for false ones that have no meaning other than to benefit himself.

When he met you however, something shifted. You weren't anything special either, you weren't 'crazy' or 'psychopathic' like him, nor were you self-centered or particularly strong. Two traits he at least somewhat admired in those around him. You were nothing special, just more intelligent, and more understanding.

Maybe it was the lack of mockery he received about the type of experiments he wanted to conduct, maybe it was the may you didn't interfere with his work and get in the way? Who knows. But all that Dottore knew was that there was something incredibly distracting about you.

Today was no different than the usual. He was in the middle of an experiment and you sat in the corner observing and occasionally grabbing things he needed, making things more time efficient. Near the end of the experiment, cleaning up the desk, he spoke up, not to discuss possible results, but to make a statement. "You are irritably distracting and for some reason, I cannot fathom the reason why.."
