Broken Promises And Waiting [Doctor Who x Fem!Reader]

Broken Promises and Waiting

You've been the doctor companion for quite a while now, it feels like you've been with him forever and naturally, you fell in love with this bowtie wearing giant. Not that you would ever admit it to him, he had a wife and you would never try to come between them, you respect the Doctor and River too much to even think about doing this.

You thought being around him every day would be enough, turns out, it was not. The more you are with him the more you want him. You couldn't get your mind of him, you needed to get away for a little while, besides you missed home and the normality of life. No one really waited for you at home but you needed some time alone and that's what leads us to now.

Walking to the control room of the TARDIS where the doctor was you coughed a little to get his attention.

"Ahem," you said, coughing. Hearing that sound made the Doctor turn his head your way.

"Y/N! Good morning! Where do you want to go for our next adventure today?" exclaimed the Doctor with a smile as big as his two hearts. Not being able to look him in the eyes, you looked at your feet.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about... You see, I miss home and need to rest after all these exhilarating adventures, so I thought you could bring me back in my time for a few months?" you said still not looking at him. You knew that if you did you would see the sadness in his eyes, and this sadness would make you want to stay. But you had to go away, just for a while.

"Oh... Yes, of course, I can! Are you sure?" he asked you, joyfulness no longer in his voice. Finally looking up at him you nodded.

"Yes, I am sure but you can come to visit! It's just for 3 months top! You can come to visit me as often as you want!" you proposed.

DOCTOR POV

"Yes, I am sure but you can come to visit! It's just for 3 months top! You can come to visit me as often as you want!" Y/N proposed.

I didn't want her to leave, even for just 3 months! What would I do without her? She's my lifeline, my everything! Without her, I would go insane! But I can't deny her anything, I love her too much to do that, I love her too much to even tell her how strong I feel about her... That would only endanger her, I have too many enemies who would be thrilled to get their hands on someone I love... Shaking those thoughts I turn my back to her and gives her my answer.

"As you wish, but be sure I will come every week to check on you!" I told her.

"Thank you, Doctor! I will be sure to have Fish fingers and custard ready for when you pop in!" And with those last words, I programmed the TARDIS to bring her back home.

THIRD PERSON POV

Getting out of the TARDIS you turned around and hugged the Doctor who followed you outside.

"Thank you! See you next week I guess!" Y/N exclaimed.

"Yes, count on it" he answered and went back into the TARDIS. You stayed outside until it disappeared and then headed to your house.

A week later, you heard the familiar sound of the traveling time machine, the Doctor going straight for your door and knocking on it. You opened him and spent your day talking to him about how your week went and him doing the same. On the sunnier days, you would talk with him in your front yard. That's how he met your lovely elderly next-door neighbor, Mrs. Maggie. The two became fast friend, she cared for him as she would care for her son. She would even sometimes come by and sit with us inside the house and bring homemade cakes or biscuits for us to eat while drinking tea.
