Roses are red but so is blood

Chapter two

(I switched to third person just because, enjoy)

"I'm interested in you." Eggman said, "Your skill and intellect intrigue me."

You looked up at the Doctor, if there had been any fear in your eyes it was no longer visible.

Oh Sparks!

"For the love of Chaos!" You hissed, "You think sweet talking me will make me bend at your every whim? I am no fool Doctor! Of all the plans you've had, this has got to be the most-"

"Absurd? Foolish, most ineffable plan of my extensive library?" Eggman let out a soft laugh, "I can assure you Miss (Y/N), I am all too aware of how foolish my plan is. There is no ploy, no twist, no fine print and no double cross. My interest in you is real and if you let me, I can make you very happy."

Eggman held his right hand out for you to take.

You would've blushed if you weren't on the verge of passing out. Survival instincts had been at the front of your mind, no matter how evil the Doctor was, he was a gentleman first and a mad scientist second.

There was no need to be afraid that he'd... Maybe you could stall and maybe convince the Doctor to let you go.

"There's no trick? No deal, no lies, no double cross?" You tried to read the Doctor's body language but he held himself with such pride, any ulterior motives were hidden.

"I give you my word as an evil genius," Eggman thought for a moment, "I swear it on the Master Emerald."

You blinked.

Eggman's either really committed to his part or dare you even say, he seriously wanted to court you.

Eggman was unpredictable and an evil genius, if you didn't accept what would he do? Would he be angry at the effort wasted to make this place just for me?

You didn't really want to find out, I mean what other choice did you have, he couldn't be that bad?

"I will have you," you finally said, "If I am allowed my freedom and can return to you if I so choose."

Your hand hovered over his unwavering hand, waiting for his answer.

"As you wish Miss (Y/N)" He replied. "Your freedom will be my top priority."

With a smile you placed your right hand on his, faced down, to show your interest.

A blush found its way onto your face as you watched him raise it to his mouth, placing a gentle kiss to establish your new relationship.

Your heart was racing, no way you and Eggman were... You'd worry about that later, right now you focused on getting out.

"This bracelet will let you access the door," Said the Doctor handing you the object, "You are free to roam my ship with some restrictions of course."

Dread settled into your stomach,

"Doctor," You said sternly, "You promised my freedom if I allowed you to court me."

"Oh but Miss (Y/N), I am allowing you freedom. I wouldn't let just anyone roam around my ship. I especially shouldn't allow a tech genius such as yourself outside this room." Eggman got close to your face, "You are still a prisoner until you've gained my trust."

"It seems we both have work to do."

"I'll leave you be for now, I'm sure you can figure out my little machine. Farewell Miss (Y/N)."

"Farewell, Doctor."

A door or wall opened up then closed behind the Doctor, leaving you alone again.

There was a journal in one of the drawers and colored pens. You wrote down the events of the day, seeing it written down made you laugh. The situation was insane, how could the Doctor ever believe this was a good idea??

"-if you let me, I can make you very happy."

You looked absentmindedly around the room, it was lovely. This couldn't have taken long to make. Have a few robots programmed to decorate and a few drones to collect information on your interests.

There was a vase with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. There were s, , Bell flowers and Foxgloves. They were an odd combination but maybe, maybe, he picked them out by hand.

The purple Foxgloves made your heart flutter. It was unlikely The Doctor knew your interest in botany but if he did, then you'd try to make it work.

Your smile fell as you noticed the red rose, it was thornless. Roses had lost it's old meaning and gained a  new one thanks to the resistance. At one point you heard roses represented love and passion but now, they were placed onto the graves of those who were lost in the fight.

It was almost funny to see it here, in this cell.

"Sparks! I'm so stupid." You groaned, "I can't believe I even considered..."

The bed was looking more and more comfortable as the minutes passed.

I'm really tired...

You buried your face in the pillows.

What would he have done if I turned down his offer?

"I'm interested in you."

The Doctor would never attempt to do anything like 'that'... Would he?

You curled up.

I'm safe here right?

You damn near screamed in frustration up as you remembered how stupid you were to fall for The Doctor's ridiculous trap.

They'll come get me soon, right?

Your anxieties had finally made themselves known, keeping you awake for what felt like hours until you were finally able to relax enough to sleep.
