"Doctor, what is it like? Death?"

He turned his gaze towards mine, he seemed concerned, but I wanted an honest answer. "Do you really want me to answer that?" He seemed distracted about something, but I was being serious. "I do. I want you to tell me." I glance his way, but he looked out. "Death is scary, it's not glamorous or admirable. It's terrifying. It's like you're falling, but you can't stop, you just keep going, forever, no way out, no one to save you. It's never ending and it's scary when you don't know where you'll end up." He played with his hands, "I've faced death. My entire existence. I've seen people I love leave me, they die. They lose the light in their eyes and they fade. It's the worst pain imaginable. And it feels worse than actually dying." He explained, I just nodded, as I look out at the stars, once again. "I'd give anything to keep you alive." He mumbled, I glance back his direction. "I know you would." I whisper, I awkwardly look away, I felt like this wasn't going to end well, so I step off the platform, heading back into the TARDIS as I just try not to break down in front of him. "Y/n?" I turn back, he seemed concerned, again. "Yeah?" I just cross my arms. "Why did you ask? About dying?" He leaned on the console, "Goodnight, Doctor." I look away, as I head upstairs and I went to my room, not giving him chance to stop me. Not this time.

I sat down on my bed, taking a deep breath as I just thought over why I even asked, a part of me always thought that I would die in the care of the doctor, I'd heard the stories. All of his past companions had died, they all faded away and I was scared I was going down the same path, but I didn't know what to expect. My door opened as I saw him again, "What is it?" He watched me, he sat down beside me. "You told me all of your companions died.. and I- I'm just worried that I'll go down the same road. And I don't want to think about death.. but I have to." I look down, as he took my hand. "I swear you're safe with me, y/n. I'll protect you, forever. You have my word." He whispered, he squeezed my hand as I just smile a little. "I don't think I could stand leaving you alone." I look down, I felt his eyes on mine. "You are never alone. And you'll always be safe here with me, I promise. You're strong. And I want you to stay. Don't leave me because you're scared of death.. I can show you a better life. And you know that." He pulled me into his arms, as I hug him gently, I lean against his shoulder. "You're my best friend."

Best friend. Of course I was. Nothing more. I had been in love with him for years, but nothing ever more than a friend, it was kind of typical really. I just stay silent, just not wanting to be awkward. "Get some sleep." He kissed my forehead, standing up and leaving me alone. "You have no idea." I mumble, I lie down and close my eyes, just trying to get to sleep. I just couldn't help thinking, what would happen if I told him the truth? Should I just tell him I love him, in case the worst happens? I take a moment, before I stand up and I open the door, but he was stood there already. I was a bit surprised. "Oh. Hi." He grabbed my face and he kissed me, I close my eyes, kissing him back deeply as I held onto his shoulders. I slowly pull back, as he smiled. "I love you." I admitted, he grinned at me. "Really?" I nodded, "Just in case you need to know, when I'm not here anymore one day." I bite my lip, he wrapped his arms around me, "Don't ever tell me that. You're here and I need you now. I love you. Right here, right now. And that's enough." He whispered.

"Let me show you just how much."
