“A present?” River pretends that she sounded calm instead of surprised. The hint of a smile curves her lips. “Do I have to close my eyes?”
“Well~ You can, if you want to.” The doctor grinned with a cheeky smile and pulled out a Medium sized velvet box.
The blonde had been stuck on what to get her wife for their wedding anniversary (tho being in a time machine meant that the date wasn’t always consistent) and had been trying to think of ideas, when she realised that the best thing, was to get something that would have had meaning.
So, she decided to steal a well known necklace from a well known Queen and give it to River as a gift… and this one, despite the effort that it took to get it, was perfect for it also had a TARDIS blue gem in the middle of it, reminding the woman of her home and River was part of that home.
The blush that appeared on those very same cheeks, was quite the spectacular colour of Pink.
No matter the regeneration, whether its the floppy haired idiot, The angry owl scott-man or the sunshine blonde of her current self… River Song, never failed to make their spouse blush bright red.
“Hello River” She managed to finally get out. “How are you today?” She cleared her throat, hoping to collect herself even a little bit.
Missy glanced up, her brow arching somewhat severely as she shot the Doctor a piercing look.
“Yes. I did. And this surprises you? Really Doctor, I thought you knew me a bit better than that by now.” Letting out a soft, rather tired little sigh, Missy’s hands settled on her hips as she moved a few steps closer to the other woman. It was almost a shame, even Missy could see that — a shame that this was their little dance — The game they played time and time again. Broken trust; but never without reason.
“But since we’re being so terribly honest; if I had told you the truth… would you have come?? — Really, can you really say you would have? I rather doubt it.” he shook her head. “Some things never change.”
She sucked in a breath, trying to force herself to NOT let this effect her. But try as she might… this- this HURT.
–I wish they would– Her mind whispered.
“I- I might have… I- I just still don’t fully understand the situation that is happening here…” she said turning her head away, so that Missy didn’t see the tears that were forming in her eyes….
Why was she taking this so hard?? It wasn’t the FIRST time Missy had Lied to her or betrayed her –not that there was any betrayal in this situation– It was as if nothing changed.
Theta Bit her lip and cleared her throat. “Right, How can i help?” she asked turning away from the woman, looking at her surroundings, hiding her face and her emotions. She may as well help her best friend, now that she was here.
“What have you gotten into this time? Who do i need to convince to not kill you? Or is it Pardon? Perhaps something else?” She Listed off in a off handed way, clearly distracting herself from what she was feeling… they were irrational feelings anyways… them and the love that would never be returned.
Sue let out a little squeak of surprise, jumping slightly as she felt a pair of arms wind gently around her middle. Eyes wide, her head snapped round in order to see who it was. Almost immediately she recognised the small delicate hands and the soft blonde hair which brushed lightly against her cheek.
Realising it was Annie, something in Sue’s stomach did a kind of a flip, and she felt her heartbeat flutter excitedly. Spinning round to get a better look at the other woman, Sue met Annie’s gaze with a grin.
“Well! Good Morning Doctor Baker!! Is this how we’re saying hello now? because I am definitely approving…”
“I guess it is…” Anita had definitely NOT expected the woman to turn around when she had hugged her from behind, and now they were quite close together… dare she think it, close enough that if she was to lean forward their lips would touch- Nope, not the time!
First ask the woman out- THEN kiss her…. Right? or was she allowed to have it in the other order??
She licked her lips, not pulling away just yet and then blurted out… “will you go to the Bar with me….” she coughed a blush appearing on her cheeks.
“Tonight… will- will you go out- with me– to the Lagoon bar? There- There’s Karaoke…” Annie bit her lip and went to pull away, feeling a little self-conscious all of a sudden.
(EvaGreenMissy) “Oh my Beautiful Idiot, What ever shall i do with you?”
“Dote on me endlessly?”
Amused laughter rang from the raven haired woman, before she wrapped an arm around the blonde’s waist and kissed the Doctor’s cheek.
“Yes, i’m sure that can be arranged, M’dear, Quite easily in fact.” she winked. “Now, What are the Plans for today? Or is the Day open for suggestions?”
“I see you’re back again!” Archieva smiled at the blond behind the desk and took the book from the pile next to her to scan into the computer, ready to be put back on the shelf.
The library wasn’t busy today, so she had time to be able to talk to the mysterious woman who had been popping in the last few days and had been looking for something among the history books.
Archie was proud to say that she had helped Cardiff’s University library grow its collection of books, and they even had some rare books among the common ones.
“Think i could help you today? You seem to always be looking for something and i know my Library like the back of my hand.” she beamed.
The Doctor, quite honestly, was surprised. But he was always up for a little adventure. Granted it was a little… mundane.
“Sounds a little mundane but sure,” he chuckled, “You know, if you wanted to go on a date you could asked ages ago and I still would agreed.”
The Master grinned and chuckled. “Its only mundane, if we make it… I mean, we have a physic paper, we can pretend to be a lord and a Lady, make them fall over with the effort to please us…” she laughed.
Eyes red, nose running, Archieva – thats pronounced Ar-H-ee-va – was standing before the mirror, in the public bathroom, shaking hands holding lipstick.
She was actually going to do this… Well she had NO choice, its either do this- or… Or nothing, she couldn’t allow the planet to be destroyed…. Not even for one man.
She took a deep breath and locked the emotions behind a steel door, before applying the lipstick, Carfully, making sure to not eat any herself.
Once Done, she put it away and saw the man, her target and followed him out of the bar, down the empty ally and then spun him around and kissed him, passionately, making sure that it was the bestlast kiss he would have, tears falling down her face as she pulled back.
“Im- Im sorry… Im so sorry… I- I had NO choice…” She cried, hands gripping his shoulders “It- it was either you… or- or the planet… there- there isn’t really a choice…” she sobbed, and she carefully helped him to the ground, The poison in the lipstick, fast acting, unconscious in 3 minuets, death in 5 minuets, but with no paralysis, she thought that would be too much… He was handsome and she had tried to do everything to lessen the pain of death.
All she could do now was listen to his last words and hold him as he died. She would never forgive herself, especially if the monsters that held her family still went on to kill them and the planet.
Koschei smirked as he watched his best friend, who once again had his nose in a book, he had noticed that his friend had become a little bit more touchy with him and decided that if The’ wasn’t going to take the first step…
Then HE was. And so he pushed down the book, not even listening to his friends protests and pushed is lips against his to shut him up.
