Doctor Who Imagines {DISCONTINUED}

Hey You. (11th Doctor/Reader fluff)

I was trapped. The Daleks had me and were using me as leverage against the Doctor. What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?

They had me in a cage. If I could find a way out, I could get back to the Doctor and... And... And what? He's left behind companions when there were Daleks before. Jack Harkness didn't deserve that. Or maybe he did, I don't know.

The fact is, I'm not the companion that he's worried about half the time. That's Amy. I'm the secondary. The auxiliary. Not important.

I could live with this. If he's got to leave me behind, one insignificant person, to save the rest of the universe, then that's okay.

I closed my eyes and let a few tears escape. This was it.

I heard the Doctor shouting, and the sound of crunching metal. I waited for death.

Suddenly, the door to my cage flew open and Doctor was pulling me to my feet and wrapping me in a bone-crushing hug. He burried his face in my (Y/H/C) hair and I felt tears run down my scalp.

"(Y/N)! Thank goodness you're okay!" He held me even tighter and started kissing the side of my head and my cheek over and over.

"Hey you! I thought you would have left by now." He pulled back and looked me in the eye.

"I would never leave you to the Daleks, (Y/N). Call me an old softie, but no one, especially not you, deserves that." He leaned in and kissed my lips softly. It was brief, but amazing!

"C'mon. Let's get you out of here. There's no telling what those things did to you in there."

"Let's not talk about that," I said with a nervous laugh. He would go on a rampage if I told him.

"Where's Amy?"

"She's at home. I took her when you got captured. I didn't need two people for the Daleks to use against me, did I?"

"But you came back for me?" I was so touched by this. He nodded.

"How could I leave you behind? You're the only one around here who can surprise me." He pushed me through the doors of the TARDIS and hugged me again. This time I locked my arms securely around his waist and listened to his left heart beat.

It was thumping softly, but steadily. Faster than usual, but still at a steady pace. "Thank you," I mumbled into his chest.

"Anything for you, love." I grinned and squeezed him tighter.

"You never cease to amaze me, Doctor," I sighed. "Really, you always find new ways to surprise me."

"Good. Then I'll always keep you guessing." He let go of me and told me to hold onto the rails.

He laughed as he threw levers and hit buttons, sending the TARDIS lurching this way and that. When it stopped, he took my hand and led me out. We were in my back garden.

"Doctor, what's going on?"

"You always liked your garden. It's calm and quiet here. But this isn't just your garden." The back door opened and an older woman stepped out with a cane.

"You stay there, (Y/N). I don't need you creating a paradox." He walked over to the older woman and she smiled so wide at him.

"Doctor! Oh, Doctor!" she sounded like me. Was this me in the future?

"Hey, you," he said softly. He hugged her gently and she placed a hand on his cheek.

"You're still so young and handsome. I bet you get all the 51st century aliens!" He laughed and they sat down on a porch swing with her.

"How're the grandkids? Is Johnny still causing trouble?"

"He's grown into such a sweet young man. He's just like his grandfather." She nudged him playfully.

"You're married now?" She shook her head.

"Who could follow a man like that, Doctor? So compassionate and caring about others... He was hard to let go of."

"I hate to leave like this, (Y/N), but I need to go. My companion is waiting. She couldn't come out. Paradoxes and all. I just wanted her to see this."

"Thank you for showing me this so long ago, Doctor." He kissed her forehead and squeezed her hand before coming back towards me.

"What year is this, Doctor?" I asked. He just shook his head and pulled me back inside. "Why did you bring me here?"

"To let you know that I will never leave you somewhere dangerous. I go and visit you all the time. And I will always love you." He took my hands and kissed me softly.

"I just can't keep you with me forever. You could spend the rest of your life with me, but I can't spend the rest of mine with you." I tear ran down my cheek, and he brushed it away. "Hey now. No crying. We've still got a million things to see!"

He kissed my cheek and ran around the TARDIS again, throwing levers and switches once more.
