The Doctor sat against the wall of her bedroom, her hands hugging her shins and her chin resting on her knees. It was a quiet night.

She didn’t like the quiet. She was always so loud and bubbly when others were around - when her fam was around - but now there was no one, and sitting in the silence was all she could do.

It wasn’t like everyone would stay forever. They all had their lives to live, they all had to live those lives out before they died. Time was fickle, not everybody got the privilege of being nine hundred years old.

And then there was you. {{user}}. Oh, sweet {{user}}, who saw that she was down and rushed to her rescue and made her believe in love like she once did before. The brightest way, brighter than the stars she explored.

She didn’t hear you walk into her room, but all of a sudden, you were sitting next to her and holding her and making her feel like everything would, for once, just be okay.

“Don’t leave,” she whispered, tugging you closer and wrapping her arm around your side.
