Author's Note: This probably won't make a lot of sense if you haven't seen the episode "The Girl in the Fireplace"

You stared in shock at the gaping hole in the wall, the one that the Doctor just jumped through.

All for her.

He left, to save her. Didn’t even look back as he rode through the glass, shattering his link to the ship. He had no way of getting back to you now. And he didn’t say goodbye, he didn’t do anything.

All for his dear Reinette. He just met her, and yet she was already more important than you.

You knew the Doctor wasn’t yours, you knew he never would be, but he just left you so easily. You thought you meant more to him than that, but apparently not.

You heart had shattered like the mirror as the Doctor disappeared through it, the wall closing up behind him. You sunk to the ground, clutching your knees to your chest as the tears started falling.

--------------------

The Doctor bolted into the ship, looking around for you. He beamed happily; he was going to take Reinette to see the stars like she always wanted! His smile dropped off his face when he spotted you, sitting quietly in the corner, hugging your legs to your body and face buried in your legs. Your shoulders shook, and the Doctor realized with a start that you were crying.

“What’s wrong?” The Doctor asked softly as he neared you, his hand reaching out to wipe your tears away. You flinched and scooted away from him, tears still dribbling down your face.

“Why don’t you go ask your precious Reinette?” You hissed, before standing up and hurrying into the TARDIS. The Doctor stared after you in confusion, before he made his way over to the fireplace, pulling on it and being transported to 16th century France.

---------------------

“Take me home.” You stated simply, leaning against one of the pillars in the TARDIS. You were done with, well, this.

“W-What?” The Doctor asked in confusion, spinning around to look at you. He was upset about Reinette dying, and now you wanted to leave him too?

“Take me home.” You repeated, eyes locking with his.

“Why?” The Doctor questioned in bewilderment.

“Because.” You said with a sigh, did he really not understand?

“No.” You narrowed your eyes at him, the sadness in your heart switching quickly to anger.

“And why not?” You asked dangerously, hands clenching into fists. The Doctor strode over to you, getting far too close for comfort.

“Doctor’s orders.” He said with a shrug, still getting closer.

“You don’t care about me, why do I have to be stay?” You asked angrily, getting seriously pissed with the man before you.

“Who says I don’t care about you?” The Doctor asked, bewildered once more.

“You do! You left me here for Reinette! You could’ve been stuck there, but you went anyway. And it’s painfully obvious you kissed her, who knows what else you two did.” You ranted, angry tears pricking your eyes. “I thought I knew how men worked by now, and I thought maybe you were different, but you’re not! You’re just as bad as them.” You huffed, turning on your heel and slamming the door to your room before flopping down on your bed.

The Doctor just blinked, taking in all that you said. It was true, all of it, but he didn’t realize it would upset you so much. Why should it? You weren’t dating, you didn’t li-

The Doctor almost smacked his forehead in stupidity; you did. You liked him, and he was too oblivious to realize it. The Doctor groaned at how insensitive he was before he rushed to your room and tugged on the door. It was locked, unsurprisingly, and he fished the Sonic Screwdriver out of his pocket and hurriedly unlocked it, throwing the door open immediately after.

He crossed the room quickly and knelt next to your bed, and you lifted your tearstained face out of the blankets just in time for the Doctor to slam his lips onto yours. You groaned in annoyance, attempting to get your lips away from his. The Doctor stayed firmly where he was, lips forced against yours as his hands cupped your face so you couldn’t pull away.

Eventually you stopped trying to pull away, but you didn’t kiss back, just stayed where you were, trying to figure out what the hell he was doing. He didn’t like you, he had already made that clear, what was he trying to prove?

He broke away at last, his forehead resting against yours. His brown eyes stared into your __e/c__ ones apologetically as his hand stroked your cheek gently.

“I’m so sorry __y/n__.” The Doctor said softly. “I’m an idiot. I pushed my feelings for you aside so you wouldn’t leave me, but all that did was drive you away.”

“It didn’t seem like you had feelings for me when you were all googly-eyed over Reinette.” You said bitterly, turning away from him.

“I wasn’t thinking- I don’t know. I’m sorry. And I know that’s not what you want to hear, and I know that doesn’t make up for it, but it’s true. I like you, not her. Please don’t leave.” The Doctor pleaded quietly, his fingers intertwining with your own.

“No more flirting? Or random hookups?” You asked cautiously, gauging his reaction.

The Doctor shook his head frantically, making his hair even messier. The corners of your mouth curled up slightly, and before he could even comprehend what happened, you had weaved your fingers into his hair and had your lips pressed lightly to his.

The Doctor responded eagerly, a smile etching onto his face.

He was an idiot, and a jerk, and you’d probably get your heart broken, but right now, he was worth every second of it.

End.  <3

I do not own Doctor Who or any of its characters, all rights go to their rightful owners. I also do not own the picture, all rights go to their rightful owners.

Honestly, the episode "The Girl in the Fireplace" made me really upset and I'm very upset with the Doctor right now. Writing this helped a bit though. Hopefully he's not too out of character?

Welp, I'm off to go watch more Doctor Who, bye!  :iconamazingheartplz:
