This is my first fanfiction for this fandom. I originally wrote this for Doctor Who Amino, but I decided to revise it and put it on here. I'm sorry if there are mistakes. I am currently looking for a beta reader to help me. I don't own doctor who. If I did there would be a lot more fluffly scenes like this. Enjoy :)
Barbara was scared. She didn't like to admit it, but she was terrified. She had been through a lot today. She had been poisoned for goodness sake. How could she not be scared? Barbara was too worried of having nightmares to even think of sleep. Instead, she tried thinking of Something else. Her thoughts immediately turned to Ian, and she felt herself start to blush. Soon, sleep welcomed her into it's realm. Pure darkness filled her vision until suddenly it became lighter as if someone had lit a candle in her mind. She immediately recognized the scene. It was something from earlier today. She was laying on the floor. She had just been poisoned. Everything was the same, but it wasn't. No one seemed to care. Not even Ian did. She saw a dalek come out of nowhere. She tried to scream, but nothing came out. Suddenly what Ian, Vicki, and The Doctor were saying became clear to her. They were making fun of her. They were talking about how pathetic and ugly she was. Every single word Ian said was as a dagger being pushed into her heart. The dalek was coming closer. She heard "exterminate!" before plunging back into the darkness . Then, she was back in her room. She screamed and unwanted tears came flowing down her cheeks. Another scream escaped her lips and Ian and The Doctor came rushing into the room. Ian sat on the bed and the doctor said he was going to go make sure Vicki was not awoken by Barbara's screams. As soon as the doctor left, Ian politely asked if he could lay down next to her. Barbara was about to start ranting about how it wasn't proper, but all of her hesitations disappeared when Ian smiled at her. She nodded softly. He pulled back the covers and climbed into the bed next to her. He brushed away her tears before speaking
"Nightmare?" He whispered.
She nodded again. He wrapped his arms around her. She blushed a vibrant shade of pink.
"What was it about?" He asked
She told him all about her dream except for the part about his rude comments hurting the most. As she was speaking, more tears escaped from her eyes. He pulled her closer to him and she let all the tears she had been holding in. After she finished sobbing into his chest, she just laid there for a few minutes before leaning back. She noticed that there was a wet spot on his shirt.
"I'm sorry," she exclaimed when she realized where the wet spot had come from
"It's no big deal Barbara" he said softly to her. She looked up at him and met his eyes. For what seemed like hours they stayed like that. Just staring into each other's eyes. Suddenly he started leaning forward and gave her a quick peck on the lips. He pulled back and she gasped. He looked as though he was scared she would be mad. She pulled him close to her again and gave him a short but sweet kiss. Then she laid her head back on his head and felt herself drifting back to sleep. As she fell asleep, she felt him playing with her hair. The next day, they both had the biggest smiles. Vicki and the doctor both stared at them like they were crazy, but they didn't care.
