Hi! I recently watched 'The sound of drums' and was reminded of my love of Doctor/Master stories, so I figured I'd write a series of drabbles, cause I haven't really got the time to start another story.

1. Doctor, Master

Pairing: Koschei/Theta (very light)

Koschei sat on his bed curiously watching his friend, seated in a chair on the other side of the room. They had met at the academy when they where both eight, that had been about four years ago. Koschei liked Theta, he was quiet and thoughtful at times, though at other times he was curious and full of enthusiasm. They spent as much time together as possible, just sitting side by side, or at the holidays running across the red grass near Koschei's house, lying beneath the stars in each others arms.

Koschei didn't want to disturb Theta now, his was so peaceful like this and it meant Koschei could just watch him, his beautiful face and calm expression. Suddenly Theta looked up from his book, smiling at Koschei, who blushed and stared at his feet. "Hey.... Koschei?"

"Umm, yeah?"

Theta laughed. Damn it! He was too observant!

"Have you thought about your name?"

Koschei looked up, smirking, "No, why?"

Theta's eyes met with Koschei's and he smiled, "No reason...... I was just thinking.... some Time Lords don't chose Gallifreyan names..."

Koschei smirked again, here we go....

"....and well, I figured that maybe... I might chose a name from another language..."

He looked up at Koschei expectantly, as if asking for permission to go on, when he saw no objection he continued, "....I mean it doesn't really make a difference what language our name is does it? Cause when I get a Tardis it'll just translate everything..." He was rambling, but Koschei was used to this and laughed.

"What's the name?"

Theta took a sharp intake of breath before continuing, "....there's this planet.... inhabited by these creatures... anyway in the 20th and 21st century one of the most common languages spoken there is called English.... and well... you see, as Time Lord's we usually either heal pretty quickly or we regenerate..."

Koschei rested his chin against his hand, waiting for Theta to get to the point.

"....but the creatures on Earth....humans.. they're pretty... delicate and they often have to seek medical attention...."

"Theta.."

"...and..."

"Theta!"

Theta stopped talking and looked at Koschei expectantly.

Koschei walked towards, kneeling in front of him and putting his hands on his shoulders looked directly into his eyes, so he wouldn't start rambling again, "What's the name?"

Theta blushed and gulped, it was quite cute Koschei noted, "T..The Doctor..."

"The Doctor." Said Koschei, testing the words.

"It means someone who makes people better... or you can be a Doctor of other things... like a scientist..."

There was a silence.

"I like it!" Grinned Koschei, "Can you help me find an Earth name?"

Theta smiled enthusiastically and began leafing through his book, which as it turned out was all about Earth, "I think I have just the one!"

I don't know if the the Tardis translates Gallifreyan or what, so I decided that the Doctor meant for his name to be English cause I like the idea of the Doctor already being interested in Earth when he was young.

Reviews would be very appreciated!

More to come.....
