you were wide awake in your shared bed, awaiting for the return of your boyfriend. he was out on an errand, one that he claimed would not take long. he had left around nine o'clock, and it was midnight. you sighed, realizing that although he was a timelord, he lost track of time quite easily. it was possible that he had recognized an old friend or someone from his past, so it was highly likely he was catching up.

however, a cold feeling began to creep over you, brushing your skin. although the tardis always treated you with care, there were times the heat could not keep up with the vast expanse of the ship. you missed the feeling of his warm body next to yours, holding you safely until you slept. you got out of the bed, wrapping a blanket around yourself. you decided you wanted to wait by the main console until he returned. maybe then you could confront him about tonight. after all, he promised you a cozy night within the tardis.

the tardis made a humming noise when you strolled out into the open. she knew that you were supposed to be asleep. it was well beyond the hours you were normally awake. gently, you brushed your fingertips along all of the bells and whistles of the console.

"when do you think he'll be back?" you meant to ask the question in your thoughts but the words came tumbling out of your mouth.

there was only a slight hum in response. you sucked in a breath, feeling extremely frustrated. who was taking up all of his attention? what was taking so long?

suddenly you heard voices outside of the doors, you perked up, hoping it would be your doctor. yet, the voices continued, and you felt the need to eavesdrop. silently, you made your way towards the door, realizing that it was in fact, your beloved, and a woman. you bit your lip, pressing an ear up against the door to listen.

"all right, river, it was nice catching up with you. i hope you have a good night and travel safe."

your heart dropped at the mention of her name. river was previous lover of the doctor. they had been together a while, yet things did not work out in the end. immediately, tears formed in the corner of your eyes. how could he?

you heard him approaching the door, so you quickly ran back over to the console, propping yourself up against it. he opened the door, quietly shutting it behind him. he was almost silent, as he probably thought you were already asleep. your hid behind the console, watching as he made his way towards your shared room.

"what took you so long?" the question echoed through the room.

he turned, startled, "hey love, why are you still up?"

"why are you back so late?" your eyes narrowed, and your tone was sharp.

"i was just catching up with somebody," he came over towards you, "you know the drill. i always run into someone i know. it's hard when you know every creature in the entire universe."
