Joy spreads over her face at the correction, and a light blush tickles her cheeks. How he has this effect on her, she still doesn’t know, but this fluttering feeling isn’t something she’s awfully keen to cease.
“O-Of course I do, Koschei, I didn’t think you’d ask me.”
His lips twitch at her reaction and the nerves calm.
“Yeah, i may have stupidly assumed you didn’t want anything to do with Gallifrey or it may have been me being stupid and thinking the normal human way would be enough… but then it hit me…
I don’t want to only be married in a human way, and Gallifreyan marriages are so much more than what humans have…. all they do is say a few words and sign a piece of paper… and by all rights, you probably didn’t even bond to river, did you?
Nah, i want the whole shebang, i want to be tied to you mentally, so that i know where you are, how you are feeling and know all of you, be completely yours and for you to have the same.”
I always had one foot out the door
I was always the one to run away
All they saw was my hard shell
and in return the word
heartless
was thrown at me
But they couldn’t
have been more wrong
I had been hurt badly many times
I was tired of giving
my heart away so easily
when all it did was break me
I started leaving before I got left
My walls were sky high
with thick ice surrounding me
Nobody broke through
nobody was willing to take the time
Until he stepped in my path
and I found the wall melting
Until there was nothing left
but the broken girl I had kept
hidden for so long
Instead of him running away
he pulled me closer
and for once in my life
I found myself realizing that
I didn’t want to run anymore
when running wasn’t an option anymore ||

Koschei smiled, happy that she was happy. He blinked a little hoping that he would last till the evening, having had little sleep last night because of the nightmare. He had been just content to lay there and watch her sleep.
“And are you going to tell me?”
She considered for a moment. “I think I’m going to keep it as a surprise,” the Doctor decides. It almost feels like maybe they are the same as they used to be, as kids, before the day of playground bullies, fire, and one particularly emphatic lie. Before the day of a bittersweet return that became a nightmare, that led to being confined in a cell and being mentally torn apart. Before all that, when they were younger, more innocent, when they were told that their prospects lay within the Prydonian academy, but only ever able to see the outside.
“No~ Come On, Theta~” he whines with a pout.
A flashback to the red fields of Gallifrey crossed him mind, where he was trying to convince the younger theta to tell him where the boy was leading him that day, having told him he had a surprise to show him.
That day he showed him that huge silver leaved tree and they had decided to build their own tree house on it, which also had dimensional technology which he managed to add to the inside.
“Hmm… somewhere quite and peaceful, no distractions, just you and me… no humans, no aliens, no chaos….” he murmured squeezing her hand gently.
“No aliens? I take it we’re leaving ourselves behind, then,” she teases, squeezing his hand back. “…I’m joking, of course. I have a good idea.”
Koschei smiled, happy that she was happy. He blinked a little hoping that he would last till the evening, having had little sleep last night because of the nightmare. He had been just content to lay there and watch her sleep.
There was still a slight fear in in his eyes, but he nodded.
“Yeah… I do…” he sighs and pulls her close.
“Say… do you want to go have a picnic somewhere and do some stargazing?”
You might expect her to be slightly more opposed to the idea of stargazing, but the fact is that she doesn’t have an inherent desire to burn the universe, but rather instead a willingness to go along with whatever would make Koschei the most happy. Some days, that’s destruction and death, and others it’s more tender romantic gestures. The Doctor folds her arms protectively around her Master, holding him close and smoothing down the back of his shirt, trying to chase the fear from his eyes.
“Okay,” she says, taking his hand in hers and leading him in the direction of her TARDIS. “…Where would you like to go?”
“Hmm… somewhere quite and peaceful, no distractions, just you and me… no humans, no aliens, no chaos….” he murmured squeezing her hand gently.
“Never,” she says, firmly, in a moment of seriousness – knowing she’s said it many times but needing him to hear her promise again. “Never – never ever. Nothing in the cosmos will ever take me from you, you understand?”
There was still a slight fear in in his eyes, but he nodded.
“Yeah… I do…” he sighs and pulls her close.
“Say… do you want to go have a picnic somewhere and do some stargazing?”
He laughed joyfully at her answer. “Oh my love, you are wonderful.” He pulls her even closer.
“I love this, I love that I have victory and that I have you, my most wonderful wife in my arms, so I can wake up to this every morning.”
Anyone can tell from the smirk that spreads across her face what she’s going to say before she says it.
“I know.” She’s comfortably settled in her husband’s arms, and yet again her smirk makes way for a grin. “I’m glad to be the one here, and not…some other strange woman. Everyone in this nation either wants to kiss me, kill me, or be me, and I’m more than alright with that.”
“Well, if any one try’s to kill you, ill kill them before they could even try.” he murmured pulling her up into a deep kiss.
“and ill also kill anyone who try’s to Kiss you as well… thats my job.” he winks and rolls onto his back, pulling her so she lay on top of him, his arms tightly around her. “As for the last one, i love having you and only you in my arms.”
“I love it, its very very nice.” she purrs stepping down next to her. Her eyes trail up and down her body, getting a good look at her.
“Oh i’m not, i was just surprised that you were breaking the rules, my dear…” Her words then registered.
“Oh my… i do like that idea… yes… i like this regeneration, yes i do.” She wraps her arms around her waist.
Missy’s ice blue eyes raking her up and down, taking in every inch of her.
The low, purring Scottish burr to the other woman’s words, so close to her ear that she can feel warm breath tickling the side of her neck; the words themselves.
Her oldest friend’s arms encircling her waist, pulling her in – not that she needed to, the blonde would always gravitate towards her Koschei.
“I’m glad you approve,” Theta is more grateful than she’d ever let show that Missy likes this face. Likes her even after she was irrevocably changed on the inside, too, by the things she’d gone through, that barely anyone would ever know. This change is most noticeable in the fact she’s here, now, something the former universe-preserving Theta would never have done.
“I more than approve my dear, i adore.” she smiled widely and nuzzled her neck, kissing it lightly, not being able to stop herself.
“Now, shall we run before Mr grumpy gets here? I think its almost time for our daily tea party.” Missy then smirks.
“And the faster we get back to your TARDIS, that faster you get to kiss me for as long as you want, with-out-interuption.” She boop’s her nose lightly.

Eyes unfocused; Wrists raw in the rusty chains that held him against the wall. He sat and shook, practically naked, stripped to his undershorts. He was cold, hungry and thirsty, not having been fed or drank anything for 2 weeks.
Whip marks that had only just healed like pink strips on his skin. Koschei was dirty and covered in his own old dry blood.
The TimeLord startled as the voice whispered that to him. It was familiar, but the Aliens that kidnapped him, had used mental torture and he was not sure if it really was her.
“But…. a-are you?” he croaked out, throat dry. “A-are you r-really?” he asked again, on the bring of tears.
