(A/N: Yay! More Master/Doctor stuff! There is never enough. Eleventh Doctor and Simm!Master. I'm so in love with that pairing. This is just a little drabble because I love fluff. Anyway its slash and I don't own the show.)

The bed had been so large because it had always been meant for two bodies. At one time there had been two bodies in it. Two boys escaping from the Academy just for awhile had shared that very same bed. Two boys so very in love that it had hurt. But the bed had been so empty for so long, he'd never had the heart to sleep in it without the other boy. Ever since they'd been separated, he had slept on the couch in his rooms. He didn't deserve that bed or its memories, not when he had failed the one he loved so utterly.
But suddenly, after centuries of longing and waiting, he had found himself dragged back into that bed. The warmth of the body that held him there was familiar and exhilarating. His hearts beat in time with those of the man wrapped around him. The feeling of joy that swelled in his chest was all but blinding and was easily the most beautiful thing that he'd ever felt. His lover, his friend, his one true companion was finally back with him and he wanted nothing more than to make up every second that they'd missed in that bed. If it were up to him, he would do nothing save hold the other man for at least 300 years.
"Theta, you know we can't lay here forever, right?" the softly masculine voice reminded him that he wasn't dreaming this bliss. He twisted in those strong arms and kissed bare neck and chest alike. The simple fact that he could once again do just that brought tears to his eyes still. Accepting of the pain the other man had suffered the Master quietly held the Doctor and kissed him until he could smile again. Happy tears were still tears, and he never wanted to see his Theta cry because of him ever again.
"I know that. I just…we are together, really together for the first time in so long. Koschei would you hate me if I just wanted to hold you for awhile?" the Doctor breathed as his fingers slid over his lover's bare back. The Master wore nothing but a borrowed pair of the Doctor's boxers and quite frankly that was just how the Doctor wanted him to stay.
"I could never hate you for that love, but you did promise me the universe. You'll have to get started on that sometime soon," the Master said with a smile and kissed the Doctor firmly on the lips. He was all too happy to stay there and be held.
It was a week before either of them did anything more productive than eat or shower, but neither was in a hurry. They had the rest of their lives to finally see the dreams of their childhood selves become reality. They would see the universe together, live and laugh and love together. And they did just that. While the Doctor never stopped bringing human companions along with him, they were no longer part of an attempt to patch the hole in his heart. He and the Master showed the best of humanity around the universe, sharing their joy with their companions. It was just what the Doctor always wanted.
(A/N: Yup, there's my drabble. I like fluffy stuff. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it and that you will consider reviewing. I want to get better and I need your help.)
