A/N: Here I go. On with the melodramatic angst. A bit more interesting, though. I've never done stuff in the first person before. So, yeah. I think, this is just my way of dealing with thingsā¦

Stay with me.
You're the one I need.

Seem easy.

We stood and we stared at the sky and I suddenly felt cold.
I thought we'd be ok, you and me. I thought nothing would tear us apart. They'd try, but They wouldn't succeed. But standing next to you, standing close to you, I felt it.
Something's coming.
And this is the way it is with you and me. We don't do domestic. We do death-defying adventures. Defeating bad guys. Dangerous stunts.
But when you said something was coming, I think you meant something different.
It feels like something different.
The Devil said I would die in battle. You said it lied.
Are you the one who lied? Would you lie to me, my Doctor?
I thought I knew you inside out. But there are so many things, so many new things about you, that I haven't learnt. You said you were a dad once. What else have you never told me?
I don't want to lose you. I don't want you to lose me. You need a hand to hold and I need to be that hand.
There are times when I think that dying would be better than being permanently separated from you. And times when I know it would be.
You predicted a storm and I felt my life explode like one of those fireworks you were staring so intently at. We've done so much and seen so much. I want to believe that this next 'storm' will be the same. That it'll be dangerous, that there'll be moments of doubt, that we may lose one another - but only temporarily.
I wanted you to tell me everything's going to be ok. I wanted you to smile, grin, say something random and funny to make me laugh. We've always known that there'll be adventure after adventure. But we've never predicted it to be this sinister.
And instead you held my hand a little tighter. You pulled me a little closer to your side. I wanted to believe that no matter what, our hands would never let go. But you said never say never ever. And I'm scared to think about what that means.
We didn't mention it after that. We went and watched the games, because that was what we'd said we'd do.
And maybe we laughed, and joked. And maybe you teased me a little and I teased you. And maybe it all seemed normal. But I saw the looks you shot at the sky and the looks you shot at me.
Something's coming, isn't it, Doctor?
