What about number 15. “I’m too sober for this.” “You don’t even drink.” “Maybe I should start.” sorry, keep you busy I know 😊.

Don’t ever apologize for sending me asks! I love it and I had so much fun writing this one. Let me know if you liked it x

Plot: Y/N needs to attend a family event and, surprise surprise, the Master is gonna have to pretend to be her boyfriend. 

Prompts: “I’m too sober for this” “You don’t even drink” “Maybe I should start”.

Warning: none, cuteness overload

You were totally, absolutely panicking. No, scratch that, you were going nuts.

Your steps echoed in the silence of the TARDIS as you paced the floor of the control room, picking at your lips anxiously.

-What the hell are you doing?! - 

The Master walked in with an exasperated look.

-I'm trying to work, you know? - 

He had been all around the TARDIS trying to fix a few leaks or something like that. You didn't even know a time-travelling space ship could have leaks but they sounded dangerous.

-I'm sorry, I'm sorry- you apologized without stopping your nervous walk.

The Master looked at you asking himself why the hell did he think bringing a human into his ship would be a good idea. He eventually gave in and asked you. -What's bothering you so much? -

You kept moving like a caged animal. 

-It's...you wouldn't understand- you stated waving him off.

-Y/N, I'm a thousand years old Time Lord, I think I can handle it- he said rolling his eyes impatiently.

You bit your lips. -It's my family- 

The Master signalled you to keep going.

-My parents called. They want me home for their anniversary-

-And? -

You sighed. -And I sort of...told them I was away...for a holiday...with my boyfriend-

The Master processed the information.

-...you're right there's nothing of this I understand-

You groaned in frustration. 

-They expect me to bring him with me tonight-

The Master blinked a few times, then he started laughing.

-Shut up!- you exclaimed covering your face with your hands. 

-No, I'm flattered, really-

To be fair, you and the Master were...partners. Kinda. You didn't exactly know how to define your relationship. You kissed sometimes, mainly when one of you was excited about something and you had sex rather often. The Master could be very sweet but you couldn't really picture him as anyone's boyfriend. Mainly because he would label it as something stupid and human, which usually were synonymous in his vocabulary. But you were fine with what you had, he was special to you and you knew you were special to him, even if he would never admit it.

-I'm screwed- you said collapsing on the counter.

-Just lie to them, say he was busy doing...human...stuff-

You raised your hands in the air. -I can't! They'll know it's not true, they already have their suspicions and they'll think I made the trip up just to stay away from them or maybe that I was abducted by aliens or something-

-To be fair, you kinda were-

You glanced at him with loath. -You're so useless-

-What else do you expect me to do? -

Suddenly, an idea made your eyes light up. You looked at the Master with a mischievous smile.

-What? -

You kept staring at him in silence.

-What?? Y/N what's...oh no-

Your eyes became pleading.

-No way, uh uh-

-Pleeeaase-

The Master turned around and started walking out of the room, still muttering how he would never agree to your crazy plan.

-I agree with your crazy plans all the time! -you bit back.

-This is different-

-No, it's not, it's just for one night- you managed to get in front of him and block his path.

-One night, nothing more-

-Y/N I'm no good with...- he gestured toward you. 

-Humans? Families? -

-Both-

You rolled your eyes. -You'll just have to make up a story about your fake job and your fake life, it's nothing you haven't done before-

His teeth started nibbling at his bottom lip. You could tell he was considering it.

-It might actually be fun- you tried.

-Do I get to kill any of your relatives? -

-No! -

-Then how much fun can it be! -

You took a deep breath.

-Okay, what about this. I promise I will make it up to you- 

The Master seemed interested.

-How? -

-However you want- you took a step closer, the implications clear in your voice.

The Master looked down at your lips, then he groaned.

-Fine! -

-Yes! - you exclaimed and kissed his cheek. -You are the best! - 

You hopped away, not hearing the Master whispering: -I'm gonna regret this-

Your parents' house had always been such a cosy place and you found it hadn't changed at all. You had missed it, in a sense. 

Your family was numerous so the small living room and the kitchen were already filled with people when you arrived.

The Master kept fixing his tie nervously while you rang the bell.

-Calm down-

-Don't tell me to calm down, I'm gonna be in a house full of humans and I won't even be able to compress a few of them into ants and stomp on...-

-Mum! -

Your mother squeezed you tightly, cooing about how much she had missed you.

-Oh, you must be Y/N's boyfriend...-

-Sacha, it's so nice to meet you-

You glanced at him as he pleasantly smiled and shook your mother's hand. You had seen him do this many times but you still couldn't figure out how a murderous aline could transform in such a lovely human being.

-The pleasure is all mine. Now, come in-

You were greeted by the whole family, hugging you and patting you on the shoulder as you introduced them to your boyfriend. The Master's facade never crumbled, not even for a second, no matter how intrusive your father's questions were.

-And where do you work? -

-I'm a risk analyst here in London- he said eating his food. You were sitting beside him, feeling a little tense. You trusted him, but you hoped your exuberant family wouldn't make him lose his cool.

-It's so nice to see our little Y/N finally finding someone! She's always been such a lonely kid-

-Mum...- you said through gritted teeth. The Master smiled at you with a soft look in his eyes. You knew once you were back in the TARDIS, you would never see the end of it.

-And now look at her! She's practically got heart eyes-

-Mum! -

The Master laughed. He was having way too much fun.

-So tell us, how did you meet? -

You looked at each other. You hoped he had a good story.

-We met during a workshop. A colleague introduced us and we hit it off pretty quickly. I knew she was special right away- he said.

You looked at him with a half-smile.

-So I asked her out for a coffee and then for dinner and then a movie and...here we are-

-Aw, how sweet- chipped one of your aunts. -We were starting to think little Y/N would remain all by herself forever, but luckily she found you-

-She'd be fine all by herself- he said in your defence. -She's a tough one- 

You were starting to like this.

After lunch, everybody moved either to the garden or to the living room. For a while, you lost the Master as you helped your mum with the dishes and talked about how happy you were with your boyfriend and how incredible your trip had been. Oh, if she only knew.

Once you moved to the living room, you were met by a scene you never thought could present to you.

The Master was being tackled by your little cousins who seemed to be having the time of their life climbing on his shoulders as he pretended to be some sort of monster. 

-Oh, no, I'm being defeated! - you heard him exclaim.

He was...surprisingly good with kids. You didn't expect that and you found yourself smiling at the sight, thinking that no one can pretend that well.

-Look at you, you're practically drooling- 

Your cousin Joyce was looking at you with a knowing smile on her lips. 

-No, I'm not-

-Oh, come on, he's your boyfriend, it's only normal- she said looking at him playing with the kids. -He's good uh? -

-Yeah- you said keeping that stupid smile on your face.

-Do you think you'll have kids of your own one day? I mean, you two seem pretty serious- 

You shook your head. -Nah, he's...not really the type-

-I wouldn't say so- she said glancing at them once again. 

Now the Master was finally up on his feet and the kids were running out to play. He looked tired but strangely happy. He saw you looking at him and smiled at you. You waved at him, but before he could walk toward you, your grandma stopped him and started talking. You tried not to laugh at the scene. A dangerous Time Lord was now having a conversation with an eighty-something-year-old woman. That was gonna be good.

Unfortunately, your cousin dragged you away, eager to know every "spicy detail" about your love life.

After about an hour, you and the Master were finally able to talk in peace. 

You were near the buffet when he leaned against the table with a dramatic sigh. Aand he was back.

-You're alive- you told him eating a chip.

-Surprisingly. How long have we been here? If we don't leave soon I'm gonna regenerate-

You smiled amusedly.

-You're doing great-

-Your grandmother is incredibly long-winded-

-She's 84-

-And I'm two thousand years old, so? She's practically a child to me-

-...weird- you said. -What did you even talk about? -

-She started rambling about how cute of a child you were and suddenly we were talking about her prosthetic hip-

You laughed soundly. -Oh, I can't believe I missed that! -

He glanced at you and you stopped. -Sorry- you said.

He sighed nervously. -I'm too sober for this-

You frowned. -You don't even drink-

-Well, maybe I should start! - 

You gave him a glass of wine and he took a sip.

-Disgusting- he said squinting his eyes.

You smiled. 

-You were pretty cute back there with my cousins-

The Master straightened his back.

-They were attacking me-

-Mh, you were playing with them-

-I was defending myself, those things are vicious-

-I should have brought a camera, I didn't know I would witness something like that-

-You're such a little brat-

You shrugged. -It's a gift, what can you do? -

-I have a few ideas in mind-

As much as you liked the turn the conversation was taking, you were interrupted again. 

The rest of the day went by pretty nicely if you had to be honest. You liked seeing your family again but mainly seeing the Master having to interact with them and you had to admit, he had been pretty amazing.

Once you were back in the TARDIS, the Master let himself fall on the closest chair. 

-That went well-

-It was the most exhausting experience of my entire life and that's saying something- he said.

You went to sit on his lap.

-Yes it was, but you were great- you said kissing him.

-Thank you- you added. -That meant a lot-

The Master looked at you seriously. 

-Don't mention it. But know that next time you'll have to find someone else to play your boyfriend-

-You wouldn't let anyone else do that- you teased.

-And that, my dear, is true- he said kissing you again. 

[confusedhalfofthetime]

To the anon who requested this, I’m sorry I lost your ask! I hope you see this anyway, I loved writing it and I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Plot: The Master and Y/N go to the beach.

Warning: things get heated at a certain point but it’s nothing major. A bit of angst and fluff fluff fluff.

Prompts: “I think you might be my soulmate” + against a wall kiss

Your first encounter with the Master had been only a few months ago. It had involved a lot of screams and an explosion. Looking back, you had no idea how you ended up travelling with him.

He was a maniac, a psychotic bastard who could burst out of the blue and cause the destruction of whole planets. But you could see something in his eyes during the quieter moments when all the rage had calmed down if only for the briefest second. They'd become big and lost and almost scared. You were aware of the absurdity of that thought but that look convinced you to stick around.

You were aware you would never be able to save him and maybe you didn't even want to. Maybe, egoistically, you were just glad to have found someone who acknowledged you. Besides, he hadn't kicked you out yet, so that meant something. Maybe. Or maybe he was just amused by you. You were doing it again. Letting the stream of thoughts out of your control.

-...aaand you weren't listening- The voice of the Master came impatient to shake you out of your head. -Yes, I was- you protested. -You were talking about planets and stuff- you said waving your hand in a vague gesture.

You sighed and got up from your seat.

-Why don't we do something fun? - The Master snorted. -We always do something fun. I am fun- -Sure you are- you teased sliding your hand over the console.

-Why don't we go somewhere near the sea? - you asked.

-You're gonna have to be more specific dear, lots of planets have seas- -Well, you're the expert. Show me the most beautiful sea you've ever seen- You smiled and you swore you saw that look again on the Master's face. -If you insist- You clapped your hands as he moved to switch a few levers.

You missed the sea. You used to go with your parents every summer to the beach and you never wanted to come home. Some of the best memories you had involved the smell of the salt, the sand between your toes and the warmth of the sun on your skin.

But the beach he brought you to was different from the others. As soon as you stepped out of the TARDIS you were met by the clearest blu sky you had ever seen. Its colour was so deep you weren't even sure it was blue. You looked down at the sand, finding it was blindingly white. It was like every colour was saturated and you were left speechless.

-Does this satisfy your expectations? -

You left out a breathless laugh. -Are you kidding? This is perfect! - The Master smiled, leaning against the door of the TARDIS. You turned around and ran inside.

-Where are you going? -

-To wear something more appropriate- you replied like it was obvious.-And you should too- -I don't do swimsuits, honey- You rolled your eyes and went to wear your bikini. It had been a while since you had worn one of those. You looked into the mirror and adjusted your bra. Your eyes fell on the dark word printed on your collarbone. The name of your soulmate. You were pretty sure you would never find him at this point and you were fine with it. You liked travelling with the Master, even if you would never admit it, but that meant never staying too long in the same place. Besides, even if you found him, you weren't sure you would want to leave the Master. You sometimes asked yourself if he had the name of his soulmate on his skin too. 

-Is this gonna take very long? - You heard him calling you from outside and you hurried to him. When he saw you, his annoyed expression changed instantly. His mouth opened slightly and his eyes scanned your body. They stopped on the name on your neck. He looked at it for a long silent instant.

You passed a hand through your hair, feeling his gaze burning on your skin.

-Come on, let's have a swim- you prompted and left him there, still agape.

The water welcomed your body warmly. You were used to the water being extremely cold on earth, but here you wasted no time immersing yourself, an ecstatic smile on your face.

The Master looked from far away as you got lost into the tides, a pleased smile on his face. He liked when you were like that. Completely happy and at peace. 

When you finally emerged, an eternity later, you saw the Master was laying on the sand, seemingly enjoying the warmth of the sun. He still didn't undress, he had only taken his jacket off and rolled the sleeved of his shirt up. And he still managed to look incredibly attractiv-no. "Stop that" you imposed yourself.

You walked up to him and put yourself between him and the sun, letting a few drops of water fall on his face. He opened his eyes with an annoyed expression and looked up at you for a second.

-Bloody finally, I was starting to think a shark had eaten you alive- You rolled your eyes and set next to him. -Are there even sharks on this planet? - you asked drying your hair with your towel.

He set straight. -I suppose not-

-And where are we, exactly? -

The Master shrugged.

-Not sure- he looked around at the deserted beach. The only thing visible was sand for miles on end.

-Somewhere north Agora- You nodded and looked at the horizon.

-I think this is Heaven-

The Master glanced at you. Usually, he would have made a snarky comment about how childish and senseless your words were, but right now he almost smiled.

You felt his eyes on you and turned to face him. He kept his gaze on you.

When did he get so close? You thought looking down at his lips. You almost didn't notice as the rain started to fall. The Master looked up at the still sunny sky and you followed his gaze.

-It's...raining? - you asked looking at the wet dots on the sand. -Apparently- -With the sun? - -Yeah, we're definitely north of Agora-

Before you could ask him what that comment meant, the rain started to fall harder and more heavily, from no clouds at all.

The Master quickly got up and extended his hand. You took it while trying to cover your face form the drops. You two ran toward the TARDIS, the Master holding your hand tightly and you laughing for no reason.

Once you were safely inside you rested your back again the closest wall, still in a fit of laughter. 

-And they say I'm insane- the Master said trying not to laugh himself.

You kept laughing openly, unable to stop. You were feeling such unmotived happiness and you didn't care how ridiculous you looked.

Suddenly, the Master was walking toward you, his eyes big and expressing something you couldn't quite place. As he got closer and closer, until he was millimetres away from you, your laugh died down. Your eyes flew from his eyes to his lips and how his tongue wetted them. You wanted to kiss those lips. As if he heard your thoughts, he pushed his mouth against yours. It started softly, tentatively, trying to know each other's mouths, but it soon became more heated. 

Your hands went to grip his hair and his went to your hips. You kissed till your lips became sore and when you parted your hands hurried to unbutton his shirt while his mouth started kissing and nibbling your neck making you breathless.

Then your hands stopped abruptly. He instinctively stopped and looked at your face. -What's wrong? - -I think you might be my soulmate-

The Master followed your gaze. You were looking at his collarbone, where the letters of your name were spelt.

His eyes met yours once again. -It's you- you breathed out. -You're Koschei-

The Master looked down at his feet. You placed your hand on his cheek making him look at you.

-Why didn't you tell me? -

-You don't want this-

You were shocked. You were kissing like crazy against a wall and he had doubts you wanted him? -I'll be the judge of that if you don't mind- you smiled but he shook his head and took a step back, your skin feeling cold at the lack of his touch.

-Besides, the tattoos...-

-The tattoos are wrong! - he shouted and you went quiet.

He passed his hands on his face.

-You are...a beautiful creature- he said. -And I'm...scared- he almost whispered. You knew how much effort that took of him to say that.

-I'm scared that I'll end up consuming you-

You felt your heart squeaze in your chest and you found the courage to get closer to him again.

-You won't- you said with determination.

He snorted. -How can you be so sure? - You simply smiled. -Because first, the tattoos are never wrong- you said taking his hands. 

-And second,- you looked up at him with sincere eyes. -Because I love you-

His gaze snapped to your eyes, searching them like he was looking straight at your soul. -And I trust you. And I know, that if you let me in, everything will be alright-

There it was again. That look. The look that convinced you to stay the first time and all the times after that. You leaned in and kissed him softly, feeling him shudder and let out a breath.

-You really are a beautiful creature- he said, his eyes still closed before he kissed you again.

[confusedhalfofthetime]

I am the previous anon 🥺👉👈 The prompts were "did you just hissed at me?", "Welcome back. Now fucking help me" and "kiss on the nose" (hope you have a lovely day)

Thank you so much for the request, darling. Hope you enjoy xx

Plot: the Reader and the Master had a row and they go their separate ways but they can’t stay away from each other for long.

Warning: blood, curse words a little bit of angst but mostly fluff. This can be both a F!Reader or an M!Reader, the gender is not specified.

Prompts: “Did you just hiss at me?”, “Welcome back, now fucking help me” + kiss on the nose.

You were home. Your old periphery apartment was even duller than you remembered. 

He did it. After all the times he said he would do it and you didn't believe him, the Master had finally left you. Just like that. He had flown the TARDIS to London and he had left you in front of your building with nothing more than a "get out". He didn't even look at you, he had just stood there, resting his hands on the console and clenching his jaw. 

So you had done as he said and left, not without slamming the door behind your back, of course.

You had felt mad, every unch of your body was hating him as you walked out. But now that you looked around and saw the white-grey walls, the dusty carpet and the untouched beer still on the table in your living room from the last time he had picked you up and you had followed him to the TARDIS, to the stars, to all of time and space, you couldn't feel anger even if you wanted. All you were feeling was cold. Probably because you hadn't switched on the heater in...how long had you been away? When you time travel it becomes impossible to tell.

You let out a long sigh. Well, it was done, there was no going back now. You just had to accept that.

Months passed. It felt more like a decade, to be honest. 

Work was always the same, boring, flat. No aliens to run away from, no kings to assassinate and most of all, no Master.

You missed him like crazy with his impossible socks and those unreadable dark eyes. You even missed your quarrels and his teasing. 

As you were deep in your thoughts, nibbling at your pen and completely ignoring the excessive amount of work on your desk, you heard someone screaming. You snapped out of your mind and turned around toward the window, right in time to see, on the street below the building, people running as fast as possible from a huge, red creature with long arms and even longer claws. It looked a bit like a mad chimpanzee. 

And then you saw him. The Master was clearly trying to calm the creature, holding something in his hand you couldn't see from there. Apparently, he was also failing in his attempt as the creature hit him with his claws. You gasped loudly and before you knew it, you were running outside. 

The street was a mess, people running and screaming and hiding in the closest shops. 

You saw the Master entering in one of the side streets and you followed him.

-Fuck...- you heard him mutter as he held his injured arm.

-Master...- you approached him and he turned around quickly. 

His sleeve was torn and you could see drops of blood falling from his wound.

-What are you doing here? - he asked.

-I work here. What are YOU doing here? -

The Master glanced behind your back, making sure the creature hadn't followed him.

-I'm working as well-

You rolled your eyes. -Of course you are. What is that thing? -

-It's not important. You should get back to work-

-I would if a gigantic alien monster hadn't appeared out of thin air! -

The Master looked at you seriously.

-What can I do? - you asked, ignoring the way his deep gaze made you feel.

-There's nothing you can do- he snapped.

You could practically see the walls getting up again, after everything you did to put them down.

-You're hurt, there's an alien attacking people in centre London and you're in no condition to stop it alone so I'm gonna ask again: what can I do? -

The Master bit his lip, considering your words.

-Fine- he gave in. -Distract it, I just need a few minutes to adjust this stupid thing- he said slapping the TCE he was holding with his blood-stained hand.

Of course you were gonna be the bait. You nodded either way and ran out of your hiding place. The creature was busy destroying a trash can and chewing on it like it was a piece of bread. 

-Hey you, stupid...monkey! -

The alien turned toward you, his eyes dark and hungry and his mouth drooling and wide open.

-Oh shit- 

You started running like hell. Oh, you had missed it.

As you passed the halley, the Master jumped between you and the creature and pushed the button on his TCE. Which didn't work.

-Oh, come on! - he said sounding exasperated.

In no time, the monster was on him, as the Time Lord struggled to push his long arms away from him.

-You know, this reminds me of so many bad days- you said, terrified but slightly amused. 

-Yeah yeah, welcome back, now fucking help me! - he shouted through gritted teeth.

-Oh, yeah, right- you looked around and saw a cane someone probably dropped while running away. You picked it up and hit the alien with it. It gave in a painful, animal-like noise and you took a step back as it got on his two feet and raised his clawed hand.

The Master quickly jumped up and pointed the TCE against it once again. This time, fortunately, it worked. 

-Thank you- you said as the Time Lord picked the now tiny creature in his hand. He glanced at you and put it into his pocket.

-You weren't so bad yourself-

That was the maximum of his compliments. You definitely had missed him.

-Does it hurt? - you asked pocking his arm. 

-Ouch! -

-Sorry...isn't it suppose to close on its own? -

-That bastard had poisonous claws. It prevents wounds from closing instantly. It'll heal, eventually- he said looking annoyed.

-Let me patch it up- you suggested.

The Master looked at you in silence, considering your proposition for a few moments before nodding and leading you toward the TARDIS. You entered with a smile on your face. The ship had become your home. You couldn't believe how much you had missed it. The TARDIS' console activated to welcome you with that familiar noise you liked so much.

-I missed you too beautiful- you said caressing the console.

The Master looked at you without you noticing. He didn't think he would ever see you again after your row. Yet, there you were, talking to his TARDIS as if it were a pet. 

He collapsed on the nearest chair and you directed your attention back to him. You took the emergency kit from the cupboard he kept it in and went to sit next to him.

-Alright, take off your shirt- 

He smirked. -So many memories- 

You rolled your eyes, trying to focus on wetting the cotton instead of his necked chest.

As soon as you placed it on the Master's arm he hissed. 

-...did you just hiss at me? -

-Maybe if you were a bit more delicate...ouch! -

-You're such a baby-

You said tapping as softly as you could on the open wound.

-Did you mean it? What you said back there? - you asked out of the blue. -When you said "welcome back" -

The Master kept looking ahead in silence. -You are welcome to stay. If you want-

You smiled, keeping your eyes on the wound.

-And- he paused, taking a deep breath. -I'm sorry for making you leave-

You did not expect that. He turned to look at you as you didn't answer.

-To be honest- you said. -I don't even remember what we argued about- 

The Master grinned and winched slightly as you put bandages around his arm.

-And I'll be more than happy to come back- you said as you finished patching him up. You left a kiss on the bandage and then another one on his nose. 

-I missed you- you admitted.

-I know- 

You laughed and pushed him slightly on his good arm.

-Alright, alright. I missed you too-
