All For Her ( A Thasmin Story)

Why I Smile

After coming back from the wedding reception, I was happy but also exceedingly tired.

I planned to go to bed as soon as I walked through the door.

However, my mum had other plans.

Countless questions: "Who is this 'Doctor'?" "How did you two meet?" "Why do you keep on running away with her?"

And, her personal favourite as of recently; "Are you two seeing each other?"

My brain wasn't having it tonight, so, in an attempt to get her to stop, I said that I would tell her everything in the morning.

Now the morning has come and, gosh, I'm regretting last night.

~•~

"I'm going out again!" I shout to everyone in the kitchen.

Gosh, major dejavu.

"Ya-"

My mum has barely said my name before I'm out the door and down the stairs.

Once I'm outside, I breath in large amounts of air, trying to get my head to clear.

I seriously didn't think this through. What if The Doctor isn't comfortable showing the Tardis to my mum? What if I've broken a secret golden traveling-with-The-Doctor rule and I can't travel with her anymore?

The last thought, embarrassingly, brings tears to my eyes as I walk to the corner shop slowly.

Once inside, I decide to buy a pack of Custard Creams for The Doctor.

Just to soften the potential blow.

The lady from our last encounter isn't there, now it's a new cashier.

I feel her eyes on me as I look around for biscuits, my face turning red with embarrassment.

Once found, I walk to the till with 4 packs of Custard Creams in my arms and drop them onto the counter. Upon seeing the abundance of packs, the lady raises her eyebrows.

She probably thinks these are all for me.

Suddenly, I feel a smile creep up on my face, surprising me.

Why am I smiling so hard?

~•~

"Doctor, look what I've got!" I say to The Doctor in a sing song voice.

After raising her head, her eyes light up with excitement and she rushes over to me.

I reveal the packets of biscuits from behind my back and watch The Doctor's face somehow light up even more.

"YAY!" She grabs all the packets and begins to rip them all open with shocking speediness while cross legged on the floor.

"Thanks Yaz."

She looks up for a second to smile at me, her cheeks flushed with excitement and happiness.

Ah, that's the reason I was smiling so hard.

At the thought of seeing this amazing woman.

This amazing person.

At the thought of pleasing her.

At the thought of being around her.

At the thought of just her existing.

...What a mess I am.

"Do you want any?"

The Doctor breaks my train of thought and I blink rapidly to recentre myself.

"Oh, no thanks, I'm okay."

Yasmin, this is serious. You need to focus because you came here to do something.

Other than blush and smile.

"So, Doctor?"

She looks up from her treats, Custard Cream in her mouth and crumbs sprinkling all over her face.

Despite it all, I smile and walk over to her, thinking her absolutely adorable in this moment.

Kneeling down, I take in the sight before me.

The Doctor sitting down, surrounded by her favourite things.

Gosh, I hope I'm on that list.

"Will you be moving in here today?" The Doctor asks, her face radiating with wonder.

"Yeah, I will be able to... It's just..."

The Doctor's head tilts to the side, waiting for my answer.

"I need to tell my mum what's going on." I begin to fiddle with my hands in nervousness. 

Looking up from behind my eyelashes, I see The Doctor looking at me with a small smile.

"Okay, so we'll tell your mum everything, everything she wants to know."

Before I know it, I'm flinging my arms around The Doctor, not even thinking about the consequences.

I feel The Doctor's breath hitch at my sudden gesture. Slowly, I feel her pull away and, just when I think she's about to pull away completely, she rests her forehead on mine and sighs.

"I'm willing to do anything for you Yaz. Whatever it takes to make sure that you stay by my side, where I can protect you and keep you safe."

At this point, I'm paralysed.

I can't move.

The Doctor cares.

She cares about me.

Gosh, I'm smiling so hard.
