With The Hideous ~ A Dottore/reader fanfic

Chapter 3 ~ Hope

After the events of yesterday you decided to start packing for your trip.
You really didn't have lots with you so packing didn't take long and you were finished within a matter of 30 minutes.

You were ready to set off on your journey the next day but Mila was incredibly insistent on you staying a few more days so you could get used to cultural differences/the weather in Snezhnaya but it's not like you had time to spend getting used to living in Snezhnaya.

You two didn't “argue” but you did have a slight disagreement upon the whole situation, it was mainly your fault. Because of your illness and lack of time you couldn't stop getting frustrated with Mila when she suggested staying longer.

Eventually she came up with a solution, and that was to just come along with you.

Abandon everything and go with you. Obviously you didn't want her to leave everything behind but it was perfect, she had money, knew her way around and would keep you company.

You felt bad but you didn't refuse her offer.

“Got everything we need to go?”

You stopped halfway on the carriage steps and turned your head to face her.

“We should have.”

Climbing your way into the carriage you sat your bag next to you, keeping it close.

With you and Mila both sitting in the carriage now it started moving.

You wore a pair of gloves, a hat, a very thick scarf and a winter coat along with your daily clothes but you still shivered greatly. Even sitting in the carriage you could see your breath condensate in the air as you exhaled.

Your teeth chattered and you crossed your arms holding yourself tightly in an attempt to keep in the heat.

“Cold?”

You lifted your head to look at the source of the sound.

“Just a little.”

Wearing a small smile on your face your teeth continued to batter together. You admired her, she looked unfazed by the cold, she even wore a thinner coat than you did and still didn't shiver a bit.

Her face lit up as if some amazing invention popped into her head.

“Oh! Hold on I packed a blanket for us just in case the place won't have good heating”

You were relieved at the sound of a blanket right now but something else popped into your head.
“Us”?
“What did she mean by that?”
“Did she only pack one blanket? So we're going to share..?”

You felt your cheeks turn rose at the thought but quickly scolded yourself for it.

Before you had even realised, Mila had unpacked the blanket from her bag and was waiting for you to take it from her. In a quick swift motion you swiped it from her hand and placed it over yourself for the lengthy journey which would take around 2 hours.

The more the journey went on the sleepier you felt, it was early morning so it was still fairly dark outside making you feel more tired than you already were and making it only harder to resist the pleasure of allowing yourself to fall into slumber.

Your fatigue must've been obvious as you heard Mila chuckled softly to herself.

“Want my pillow with that too?”

Now being alerted you straightened out your posture and rubbed your eyes in an attempt to wake yourself up a little.

“Ah- What? No! No.. I'm good!”
