This could have ended up being the kinkiest shiznit on earth but I remembered I cannot write lemons lol.

You eagerly waited on your toes at the main doors of the manor, waiting for your peers to return. You heard they'd be going up against that wax man, but he was relatively new so there was still some getting used to.

"If you wait out here for this long you might catch a cold"

You turned to see Emily walk out with a blanket wrapped around her shoulders and a lantern. "I'm hopping on my toes so I'll be f-fine!" You smiled, and she shrugged to walk forward. "I'm sure they'll understand if you're not here to greet them (Y/n)." She looked into the darkness, winter coming so even in the afternoon did it get dark quite early. "But the match is running late, I'm just worried."

The Doctor glanced to you, your eyes glued onto the darkness in front of them. Matches would run late all the time, wether their peers were being slugged or the hunter was giving them a hard time. It was nothing new when it came to matches. Nothing besides the fact that a certain Seer was in this one. Everyone else had experienced a match like that besides Eli, this was the first time he ever took so long to come back, so she knew it was him and only him, the reason you stood in the cold.

But she wouldn't say that out loud of course, she knew you were to gentle to speak about such a topic. "Well, can't you at least wait inside?" She asked, and you sighed, the cold getting to you before you nodded. You succumbed and shown your shivering form as you now rubbed your arms, following the woman inside.

She closed the door and you sneezed, inclining her to take the warm blanket from herself and throw it over your head. "I'm going to bed, Eli's the only one still in match right?" You recalled greeting the others as they moaned and groaned about the intense match, desiring only to get patched up and rest as soon as possible. You nodded, and she smiled softly. "Then you can take care of him when he returns, if it is a tough match I'm sure he'll need some help."

Your eyes widened and you frantically watched her glide up the stairs. You? Take care of Eli? You grasped the thin blanket on your head and held it to your face. With the woman gone you burried your face in the cloth, feeling embarrassed of your tingling cheeks. You had no doubt they were red, just by the heat you felt on the back of your neck. The thought of taking care of the Seer... it made your eyes relaxed and your pupils grow large in imagination of being so close.

"(Y/n)?"

You didn't notice the sound of the door, or the thump of boots come up behind you until a blurry figure was leaned down to see your lowered head. Only when you heard your name and looked up, did you focus onto the Seer who stared at you. Oh. "Oh-! You're back!" You jumped away from his close proximity and he stood up straight, no longer needing to bend down to see your flushed face. "Yes, I'm back. Have you been waiting all this time?"

How embarrassing to answer! But- surely he didn't see it in a romantic way, otherwise why would he even ask? The Seer was kind to everyone, overly kind even, so it was hard to see if he even actually favored anyone in his heart. "Y-yes but I wanted to so it's no trouble." You smiled as he tilted his head to your behavior. "You look cold, did you come from outside?" He began to walk towards you while fiddling with his scarf, something you weren't too big on right now-

"Yeah but- Emily came to get me so it's fine." Your eyes couldn't stand the anticipation as he walked closer and closer, so you looked away. "You shouldn't wait out there it's cold, especially if it's just for me." He said that wearily, ashamed of the fact you were freezing just because of his absence. He quickly slid his lanky scarf off of his shoulders and piled it onto you, around your neck and over your head until you looked just like him. Well, at least your top half.
