Request: Where the reader is River's twin sister, and she knows about their future relationship but the reader doesn't. The scene in The Impossible Astronaut where the Doctor says "You've got that face Dr. Song." "What face?" "The "He's hot when he's clever face" "That's my normal face" "of course it is." But River is telling the Doctor that he has "the face" about the reader. (Do you need any more?) @the-doctors-fez
A/N: So this is extremely long over due, I’m sorry. However, I hope you enjoy
“ You’ve got that face, Doctor.” He said softly as he watched the woman bounce up from her seat with bright cheery eyes.
“ What face?” Your bright eyes lock with the mans as he turned toward you, back pressed together with River as cheery laughs echoed and bounced from the walls. While being related to River had its perks - being her twin sister and all - you wished he would just see you already. You weren’t River.
River hated you looking so sad, It hurt her, truly. The looks of deep rooted sadness and the blank stares at nothingness between towards the corner walls. Sometimes, she could swear she could notice a dam about to break free from your eyes at the way you watched him. Currently you sat on the jumper waiting patiently to arrive back at home to mom and dad - or more commonly referred to as Amy and Rory.
She leaned back on the heels of her boots with thoughts reeling in her head. The future held so many possibilities and while you currently were the more younger one due to her own frequently messed up timeline, she still could sympathize with your feelings. Age certainly had made her wiser and more observant. River clutched the tiny blue book tighter between her white knuckled fists. Her eyes darted between the two of you as she let out a long groan. How could he be so daft?
“ The face, the ‘ She’s so hot when shes clever, face.’ “ River shook her head full of blonde curls causing them to glide across cheeks. You groaned and turned away. Couldn’t they flirt any other time? Did they have to flirt during a moment of life or death?
Once again, out in the field during battle. The Doctor stood a few feet away held back by the strong arms of the alien race that had invaded. However, you couldn't quite place the name as all you felt was the burning and searing pain through your bones as they tortured you for information. You were warned. You had been warned numerous times that once you met the Doctor, even touched him for a second, bad things follow. Pain and loss and sorrow. Although, heartbreak wasn’t one you had been warned about. You head slowly lifted and deep, sad eyes locked with his own guilty green.
“ I won’t admit it, I can’t. He doesn’t feel the same about me.” You muttered beneath your breath to your tortures who, for a lack of a better term, were trying to pry information from you about the man for their own benefit. They needed to know his weakness. “ If you’re looking for the woman he loves, it’s not me. Never has been.”
The look alone in his eyes was enough to kill you right then and there. He was seeing right through you with a glassy expression. As if he was shocked, possibly mortified at the words slipping past your lips. You loved him as well? After all this time?
He found you sitting alone in the library curled up against the fire. The only sounds echoing throughout the room of crackling wood and soft sniffles. It shattered his hearts hearing the sound of you devastated. Possibly still shaken up from earlier events? Emotions still run high from the adrenaline and now on a straight trajectory path towards destruction town?
He hovers a little ways away from where you’re huddled before the fire in silence. His feet firmly planted behind the bookshelf that masks him from view. Saying he’s nervous would be putting it lightly, because he does love you. More than you know, and it pained him to hear you put yourself down. How could he not love you? Sweet, caring, and mesmerizing.
“ Y/N,” He started softly as he made his way towards where you sat hurdled up against the fire with a bowed head. You looked so small. Somehow, you had managed to make yourself so minute you might as well have vanished into thin air. “ Please look at me.” He sighed softly and dropped to his knees besides you, an arm slowly slipping it’s way around your waist However, you didn’t say a word. You leaned into his touch and let a soft kiss press against his cheek.
It was something, a start.
It was you. It was only ever you.
