Doctor who one shots/imagines BOOK 2🌏

christmas wish (12)

(Merry Christmas to my loyal fans who stuck with me this year! Love ya!)

I stare at the TARDIS console for a while, watching the lights and listening to the gentle noises, it filled me with peace. I felt home here, maybe I wouldn't be so sad knowing I didn't have anyone to go home to this Christmas. It was Christmas Eve, the Doctor knew I went home for the day, but I was putting it off for hours, making excuses and just trying to find ways to stay, because I was too embarrassed to tell him I was alone on Christmas Day. I sighed, as I looked over at him, he was busy at the console, as always. "Are you okay?" He asked, he didn't look away from the console. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine." I smiled gently, as I play with my hands for a moment. "Time is getting on, y/n. Your family will wonder where you are. I'll drop you home shortly." My heart dropped, there it was again. The dread of leaving. "Sure, thanks Doctor." I stare at one of the panels, as he frowned. "Are you sure you're okay?" I nodded, as I glanced up at him. "Please just be honest with me, y/n. What's been on your mind?" I take a breath, "I probably shouldn't waste anymore time, I'm ready to go home." I went back to my bedroom, as I felt the tears in my eyes. This was hard, lying to my best friend and the man I loved so much, it was such an awful feeling. I packed up a bag, as I went back down the steps. "We're here, I'll see you in a couple of days." I smiled a bit, "Bye, Doctor." I left the TARDIS, my heart empty.

I sat in my empty flat, staring at the wall and listening to the silence. I glance back at the small planted tree I had on the window sill, but it looked so lonely. And I felt even worse. My phone started to ring, as I answered. "Doctor?" I was confused, he never called. Ever. "Why did you lie?" How did he know? "About what?" I glance outside, "You don't have to spend Christmas alone, y/n. I won't let you." He hangs up the phone, I was a bit confused. The TARDIS appeared in my flat, as he came out of the door. "Doctor-" he pulled me into his chest, "Don't you ever allow me to let you be alone on Christmas. That's why I'm here, y/n. I'd love nothing more to be with you." I smiled sadly, "I just didn't want you to think-" he cut me off, "It doesn't matter. As long as it's me and you, that's enough of a gift for me." I didn't let go of him, as he ran his hand through my hair. "We'll spend every Christmas together, until we get bored and run out of things to do. I just can't stand the thought of you being alone." I kiss his cheek, as I watch his eyes.

"Merry Christmas, Doctor."

"Merry Christmas, y/n."
