Just a drabble written for the Best_Enemies challenge over on livejournal. The prompt was affair and/or heat. The Master takes the Doctor to a pub.
*****
The Doctor's not sure what he's drinking but knows he has had too much; judging by the fire in his veins and the way the floor is spinning.
"I think I've had too much" he says to the green dragonfly beside him.
She hums along but doesn't answer him. He jerks his head in the Master's direction and she politely turns.
"The Master-hic-Master talked me into this-hic-and then abandoned me."
He's not moping; he's not, just because the Master abandonedhim for some blue alien from Neliuriun 4.
He's not jealous either, not of the touching or the kissing.
"The Master can kiss whoever he wants, as long as it's completely-hic-consensual of course."
"Riiigght" she buzzes, "so what is he, an ex?"
"Oh no, no, much more complicated."
She buzzes away at that.
The Doctor decides to order three more drinks and then do something about the Master. Stumbling towards them, he thumps down on the chair beside the Master, knocking blue alien over.
"This," he says leaning over the Master, "counts as an affair!"
The blue alien hops to his feet, apologising brusquely and running away.
The Master huffs and leans back, the Doctor grins happily.
"How am I going to get shagged now?" the Master asks the Doctor angrily.
The Doctor grins and leans towards him, "I'll help you with that," before hiccuping again and passing out on the table.
"Typical," the Master mutters and gets another drink.
