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-
