With The Hideous ~ A Dottore/reader fanfic

Chapter 8 ~ Numbness

“What did you say..?!”

Whipping his head round, his cold eyes stared onto your figure, but you felt too intimidated to raise your head to meet his eyes.

“You heard me..”

Looking down and fiddling with your fingers you hoped he wouldn’t push you away this time.

Dottores' body walked towards his desk where he sat down in a chair and dropped his head into his hands with a sigh. Did this mean he cared somewhat about you? Or he just couldn't be bothered dealing with it.

“What do you mean you're dying?”

His voice was slightly irritated but you knew he wasn't irritated at you; rather, more at the current situation, you could tell that much at least.

“I'm sick, I'm just waiting to die at this point.”

You sighed and casually took the seat in front of his desk, sitting with each other properly now ready to discuss things in a mature manner.

He lifted his head up but purposely avoided your gaze or even looking in your direction, making it more awkward than it had to be…

“Well I don't suppose you think I can do something about that dont you?”

His snarky reply made your blood boil, “Why couldn't he get over himself? Why couldn't he just get over it all.. Instead of acting like an immature child.”

You felt like shouting at him, letting out all your anger and frustration onto him but you wouldn't risk losing this opportunity after just finally grasping onto it.

You were sick of having to wait and wait for this moment, you decided to just be straightforward with him, you weren't in the mood for his games anymore.

“I uh.. heard you figured out the secret to immortality.”

Upon that he burst into an abundance of cackles, he held onto his stomach whilst not being able to stop himself from laughing. 

You must've been sitting there for a good five minutes with your arms crossed and an “unimpressed" look on your face just waiting for him to finally shut up.

Regaining his breath a few minutes later he finally calmed himself down, you really didn't understand what he found so funny about that.. It made you feel a little stupid and embarrassed.. Actually no, not just a little, you felt really really stupid.

“All done?”

You asked him with a dull tone making sure he was ready to talk again.

He chuckled a little finishing his laugh till he finally shut up.

“Ah yes yes, sorry that was just too hilarious-”

“Shut it, I don't even want to hear it. I'm serious about this Zan- … Dottore.”

“....  Uhm well in that case, I don't know what to tell you darling, there really is no secret to it at all.”

His smug voice felt like it was degrading you once more, making you regret all your life choices in coming here at all.

“What are you talking about..?”

You said cautiously with a hint of confusion as anxiety started creeping into you. Maybe he couldn't do anything to save you after all

“Well you see here dear Y/n, I myself am not immortal. You see all those little pets I have laying around here don't you? You've met Omega already haven't you?”

You understood clearly what he was saying but you didn't understand what it was he was TRYING to tell you.

“?”
