It was an unspoken rule that if the Fam had to split up while trying to save the world, Y/n would always go with The Doctor. It wasn't for any other reason than the fact that Y/n had been traveling with The Doctor the longest and so The Doctor trusted them more than anything, at least that's the reason The Doctor gives when anyone asks her about it.

Unfortunately rules, even the unspoken ones, are meant to be broken, even if it's by accident. While visiting a distant planet and accidentally landing in the middle of an alien invasion, the Fam was forced to split up with no warning. There was no time to form their usual groups and so The Doctor ended up with Ryan and Graham, while Y/n was with Yaz. The sudden split also prevented the group from forming a plan to deal with the aliens and so they had to trust that the others were also working to save the planet and get back to the Tardis in one piece.

At first The Doctor was fine being separated from Y/n, it was good for the two of them to spend time apart. But slowly she began to feel strange, almost like she was worried for Y/n's safety but deep down she knew that wasn't what she was feeling. Y/n was strong and smart and could handle themself better than most. Not to mention Y/n wasn't alone they had Yaz with them. Yaz was also great under pressure and The Doctor knew that Yaz would never let anything happen to any of her fellow companions. But for some reason the thought of Yaz and Y/n alone together left a strange taste in The Doctor's mouth, not that she'd admit that.

Luckily for everyone, it didn't take long to figure out that the aliens who were invading were just looking for a new home and didn't realize the planet they landed on was already inhabited. After a short meeting between the leaders of both species, overseen by The Doctor and co. it was peacefully agreed that the 'invading' aliens would be allowed to stay and that both groups would benefit from working together. Once it was clear that the new cohabitants of the planet would be fine, at least for the time being, the Fam made their way back to the Tardis.

The Doctor thought that since everyone was back together the strange feeling from before would go away. Afterall once she saw Y/n at the meeting on the planet's surface, she felt like a weight was lifted from her shoulders. But for some reason, while shewatched Y/n and Yaz talk with Ryan and Graham about everything that happened while they were separated, The Doctor still felt that strange bitter feeling deep in her chest.

"Hey, Doctor, where are we off to now?" Yaz questioned startling the timelord out of her thoughts.

Quickly pushing the feeling out of her mind The Doctor smiled at her group of companions. "Everywhere." She answered like she always does, earning a smile from everyone. Well, everyone except for Y/n.

After all, Y/n had been traveling with The Doctor for years and even if her face had changed, Y/n could still read the timelord's body language easily. They could tell something was off from the moment they reunited. The Doctor seemed tense or stressed by something. At first Y/n thought it was just because the group had split up suddenly and the two hearted alien was worried about her friends, but after settling things on the planet the tension never left The Doctor's shoulders.

And now there was something off in the way The Doctor looked at Yaz as she answered the rookie police woman's question. It wasn't like she was mad, but more like she was over thinking something. Her voice was also missing the air of wonder and excitement it normally held as she pulled the lever on the console. Y/n knew something was up but they couldn't quite place what was and they knew The Doctor wouldn't talk about it in front of their friends. So, they waited.
