His Favourite Companion

The Doctor admits his true feelings to his favourite companion. One Shot, Crackfic!

I Do Not Own!

"I know we only met a little while ago but I feel I can really open up to you" The Doctor said leaning against the TARDIS's console, a half-empty bottle of vodka in hand.

"I just get so lonely sometimes…ya know? Up in space all on my own…last of my species…etcetera"

He raised the bottle to his lips and took a large swig, of the bitter liquor. "I don't suppose you would know how that feels?" He said sighing, his companion nudged him understandingly. "Your right…no point mopping about it" He hiccupped, "You know I could have never gotten through this if it wasn't for you…" He continued, tears already starting to well up in his eyes, "You just-" Hiccup "-Mean so much to me…" The Doctor's companion looked at him through warm, understanding, yet slightly concerned eyes, "No, don't be so modest-" Hiccup "-You deserve it" He swallowed another mouthful of vodka. "I can't even find the right words to expert…? No…Expire? Express? Yes, that's it! Express how much you mean to me." He put his arm round his companions shoulders and kissed him, "Shhh, don't tell Rose…But you always were my favourite companion." He said before hiccupping again.

"Doctor? Doctor!" Rose shouted from the room next door, "Shush!" he hushed in a stage whisper as Rose entered the room from the wide-open doorway "Doctor? There you-" Her words faded from her lips as she saw the state he was in, "DOCTOR! I thought I told you to get rid of that horse!"

Dedicated to Arthur: The Best Companion the Doctor ever had.

I don't own The Doctor, the TARDIS, Rose or Arthur.

For anyone who doesn't understand:

Mickey: What's a horse doing on a spaceship?

The Doctor: Mickey, what's Pre-Revolutionary France doing on a spaceship? Get a little perspective!

The Doctor: Rose, take Arthur, follow it. Don't approach it, just go, go, go!
Rose Tyler: Arthur?
The Doctor: Good name for a horse.
Rose Tyler: No, you're not keeping the horse.
The Doctor: I let you keep Mickey!
