A.N Ok, so I finished watching the last episode of Doctor Who, and after sobbing hysterically decided it was a good idea to comfort myself with rewriting the story to comfort myself. I did say that this would be the last chapter, however I think there is at least one more chapter and an epilogue in this, so much for a one shot lol. I also want to say thank you for all the amazing reviews I have been receiving for this story, everyone is appreciated so so much!

Chapter three

"So, what's going on with you and the Doctor?" Amy asked as she and Harry sat in the living room watching the Avengers, Harry had sent Rory and the Doctor out to buy food that they were needing and some ingredients he needed to make stir fry for supper. He and Amy were curled up on his sofa with a bowl of popcorn on his lap watching the film, or they had been, now Harry was staring at Amy stunned.

"I…I don't…there's…nothing, why would you think there was something?" Harry spluttered, cursing mentally as he knew he was blushing.

"Well aside from those looks you give each other, and that you make sure to touch each other as much as possible, you sit as close to each other as possible whenever you can and he hugs and touches you more than I have seen him doing with anyone except me and Rory and…"

"Ok I get the point! You have only been here six days, and you weren't allowed out of bed for two of those!" Harry complained.

"I have amazing powers of observation," Amy grinned. "So come on, you and the Doctor?" She urged.

"I honestly don't know, the first day you were here he kissed me, and he's been touching me, hugging me, holding my hand and all that, but he's not kissed me since and he's not said anything, that's not really a sign of anything though considering he's not exactly a perfectionist when it comes to human social norms," Harry sighed dropping his head onto the back of the sofa.

"He's not the best person to look to understand no," Amy snorted. "Have you thought about speaking to him?"

"I have…very little experience with relationships, I am way out of my comfort zone here. I wouldn't even know where to start," Harry admitted.

"But you want something with him?" Amy asked.

"Yeah…yeah I do," Harry nodded.

"So we find some way to sort this out," Amy said firmly.

"And what if he doesn't want something to do with me? What if he thought it was something else?" Harry asked nervously.

"He's not that bad…ok he can be, but I seriously doubt it, I've seen the way that he looks at you and acts with you, I have never seen him acting like that with anyone before in the ten years that I have been travelling with him. I think maybe he's as unsure as you are as to what you are supposed to do next," Amy reassured him.

"WE'RE BACK!" The Doctor called excitedly, the sound of him hurrying down the hallway reached them before he burst into the living room with a grin, four bags hanging off of his arms. Behind him Rory walked in slower and looking the mixture of exasperated and amused that he seemed to generally wear around the Doctor.

"Did you get everything?" Harry asked calmly.

"And some extra," Rory sighed.

"Who knew going to the shops could be so exciting!" the Doctor beamed as Harry stood and took Rory's bags off of him and motioned him to the sofa before leading the Doctor into the kitchen.

"You didn't cause trouble in the supermarket did you?" Harry teased as he set the bags on the counters and started to put things away.

"Of course I didn't!" the Doctor said indignantly. "Though I may have gone a little wild on the bargain items, did you know how many things they have buy two for one!" he carried on lighting up again.

"This should be interesting," Harry chuckled starting to unpack the bags, looking amused at the amount of doubles of everything he had.

"I thought maybe you could do this for pudding?" the Doctor asked hopefully putting two items in front of Harry that made him blink and look at him confused.

"Is this an alien thing?" Harry asked confused.

"Not really, it's very tasty," the Doctor said earnestly.

"Erm, I guess so, sure," Harry set the items aside before going back to unpacking. "So did you have fun?" He grinned.

"It was extremely interesting," The Doctor nodded sitting down on the counter and swinging his legs slightly as he contently watched Harry pottering around the kitchen.

"What?" Harry asked glancing up as he was nearly finished having felt the Doctor's intense eyes on him for the whole time.

"I enjoy watching you," the Doctor shrugged, leaning forwards a little bit and snagging Harry's hand as he wandered passed. This having happened dozens of times over the last few days Harry just came to a stop in front of the Doctor and looked at him curiously. "What did you do while we were out?"

"Me and Amy started watching a film and chatted a little," Harry blushed as he remembered exactly what it was that they were talking about.

"Oh, what were you talking about?" The Doctor grinned tilting his head curiously as he looked at Harry blushing.

"Just chatting a little," Harry shook his head.

"About what?" The Doctor grinned when Harry blushed darker.

"About you," Harry decided to answer honestly, watching the Doctor's figurative ears perking up.

"Oh what were you saying?"

"Well…" Harry leant forwards as though he was about to share a great secret before balling his courage together and pressing a quick but definite kiss to the Doctor's lips. "That is Healer/patient confidentiality," he grinned before moving away and going back to his unpacking. The Doctor blinked after him smiling widely before he pouted.

"That's not fair!" he whined making Harry start to laugh.

"That's a shame,"

"What were you saying?"

"You'll have to wonder,"

"Tell me!"

"Nope!"

"Please!"

"No,"

"Come on!"

"Nope,"

"Pretty please!"

"No,"

"Pretty please with a Narzonan cherry on top!"

"N…what's a Narzonan cherry?" Harry turned halfway through putting milk in the fridge to look at the Doctor curiously.

"Fascinating trees that only grow on the south side of Narzon in the Martonian Galaxy about 5,555 years from now. The cherries have an initial taste of cherry and then they taste of your favourite food, they are wonderful,"

"Wow," Harry breathed out stunned.

"Maybe I could take you to see them at some time?" The Doctor suggested quietly. Harry looked at him silently and intently trying to read the man's face.

"What exactly are you offering here?" Harry asked softly.

"To take you on a trip," The Doctor shrugged looking a little awkward.

"You know exactly what I am asking," Harry shook his head stepping a little closer again.

"For you to…well to come with me," he shrugged again looking away from Harry to stare at his boots.

"As?" Harry asked licking his lips nervously.

"As?" The Doctor looked up confused.

"Your companion? Your friend? A fellow hider? Someone you are wanting to help out? Lover?" Harry asked shakily wringing his hands together. The Doctor looked up sharply, his intelligent hazely brown eyes scanning and reading Harry's face intently. Finally seemingly coming to a decision he reached out his hand to Harry and waited for him to take it before he tugged him forwards into the cradle of his legs again, wrapping his arms around Harry's waist when he was close enough.

Harry stared at him not exactly sure what he was going to say as he placed his hands on the Doctor's thighs, looking into his ancient eyes he knew what he wished for.

"I'm scared," the Doctor admitted even as he slipped his hand underneath Harry's top and stroked his fingers over the base of Harry's back.

"Of what?" Harry frowned, unconsciously tightening his grip on the Doctor's thighs as though afraid the man would disappear.

"I've had so many people in my life time, and all of them have left me, or died, or forgotten me and created lives of their own. I've never been as close to anyone in the same manner as I am with Amy and Rory, and you…you Harry Potter have the ability to steal both my hearts and break them completely. If I lose you, if I let myself care for you with the potential I know is there and I lose you…I'm not sure that you are someone that I can recover from, and I'm scared of letting myself get close to you, but at the same time I'm not sure that I can resist you either," The Doctor confessed, sounding so lost and so full of hurt and loss already that Harry couldn't stop himself.

He leant forward and brushed their lips together firmly, reaching up and gripping the Doctor's hair tightly as the Doctor squeezed his arms around his waist firmly and kissed back with the same enthusiasm and intensity that he put into everything. Pulling away Harry rested his forehead against the Doctor's with his eyes closed as he soaked up the feelings that came from what the Doctor had told him, from the feeling of kissing the Doctor properly again.

"I have to tell you something," Harry admitted not opening his eyes.

"What?" Harry could hear the nerves in the Doctor's voice.

"I've only told Andromeda…its…" Harry drew off with a sigh opening his eyes and meeting the Doctor's again, allowing him to see the fear lingering in them.

"You can tell me anything Harry," The Doctor frowned, stroking Harry's back to try and sooth him.

"You know about the Death Hallows?" Harry asked softly.

"Yes, I have heard the legend, I have even met a wizard that possessed the resurrection stone….though he was trying to take over Aberdeen at the time," The Doctor rambled at little.

"I possess all of them," Harry admitted so quietly that the Doctor nearly didn't hear him, but he did and he stared nervously at the Doctor as he stared at him stunned.

"You possess all three?" The Doctor asked stunned.

"Yes, I tried to get rid of them, I snapped the Elder wand and threw it away, I dropped the resurrection stone in the forest. But they came back to me. I own them now and now I am…"

"The Master of Death," The Doctor sucked in a breath as the realisation of what Harry was trying to tell him sank in.

"Yes," Harry clarified, though the Doctor knew already.

"What…what does that mean exactly?" The Doctor asked breathlessly, his eyes running over Harry's face almost frantically as hope rose in his chest.

"I've run some tests, and there have been a few attacks that have told me what is likely to happen. My body isn't ageing, I've been monitoring it since the wand and stone came back to me, I haven't aged a day since the battle. When I have been attacked seriously wounds heal to a manageable none life threatening level quickly. At this point, given the title that comes with owning all three of the Hallows, I think its seriously likely that I can't be killed," Harry said quietly.

The Doctor's mind was spinning faster than it normally did at the information that he was being given, he had been going over his relationship with Harry from the first time they had met in the park, his hopes and thoughts on their relationship changing with nearly every meeting until he had had the startling revelation that he was fairly sure that he could fall in love with Harry in a way that he hadn't felt since his family and his wife. That had scared him and he had stayed away for a month before he was drawn back to the gorgeous man unable to resist and knowing that this, this could be the one that destroyed him. And now he was being told that he potentially had found a partner that wouldn't be leaving him, that he didn't have to be constantly aware of ageing and dying at his side, knowing that he only had a limited amount of time with.

"You really kind of need to say something here," Harry laughed nervously bringing him back to the situation and making him realise that Harry was looking incredibly frightened and scared right now. Leaning forwards he gently brushed their lips together, more tender and gentle than it had been before.

"Harry Potter…I'm fairly sure that I am falling in love with you, and I don't want to have to leave your side again," He admitted softly, his hearts leaping at the brilliant smile he got from Harry before the younger man threw his arms around the Doctor's waist and buried his face into his shoulder, breathing in the scent of the man that he was fairly sure he was falling in love with as well.

"That's good, cause I'm fairly sure I wasn't letting you leave," Harry laughed a little wetly through the happy tears filling his eyes. He had finally found someone who loved him for him, someone totally amazing and so full of love and compassion and kindness while not being perfect and having flaws of his own. And someone that would not be leaving him behind.

"So we split our time, we travel and then we come back here only a few days after we left, how does that sound?" The Doctor asked nervously.

"Honestly?" Harry asked seriously, pulling back and making sure to keep his face completely straight. When the Doctor nodded, unable to speak, he broke into another grin. "Pretty perfect really,"

"Wonderful! I have so many places I want to take you and so many things that I want you to see!" the Doctor said excitedly, gripping Harry's hands.

"And we have plenty of time to do it in," Harry smiled happily, leaning forwards to kiss him gently again.

"Well that didn't take you two too long did it!" Amy laughed walking into the kitchen with Rory smirking behind her.

"Amy, Rory!" the Doctor actually blushed at the sight of the two of them.

"Told you talking to Harry would get them to a step further," Amy nudged Rory in the ribs making the man roll his eyes. "So you two are together then?"

"Yes we are," the Doctor announced happily before Harry could even say anything.

"Well that's about time," Rory said as he walked over to flick the kettle on and pulled four mugs down.

"Hey!" Harry complained, but the light heartedness and happiness in his voice could not be hidden.

"Well, you two have been dancing around each other for months, we could see that even without seeing the two of you together," Amy snorted carefully hopping up on the counter beside the Doctor.

"You pair of match makers you," the Doctor said amused making them laugh.

"Here, I'm stealing you to help me," Harry slid some vegetables over to Rory to chop while he started dicing the chicken.

"Could one of you go and get…pudding out of the over for me, I'll nip upstairs and get Captain America, I think it's in my room," Harry said standing.

"I think I should probably do that," Rory snickered heaving himself off the sofa he and Amy were curled up on, carefully laying his wife's legs onto the sofa.

"Hey that wasn't my fault!" The Doctor protested before pointing to Amy. "It was hers!"

"It was not!" Amy complained.

"It's was too! What happened you could cook when you were Amelia! See your change of name did do something!" The Doctor said triumphantly even as he let go of Harry's waist reluctantly to let him up.

"Just because I changed my name doesn't change anything else! And I can still cook, so clearly it was your fault!" Amy stuck her tongue out.

"What exactly happened?" Harry asked as he and Rory made their way out of the room leaving the Doctor and Amy bickering behind them.

"They set the custard on fire, I came back to them panicking and the Doctor trying to sonar it off," Rory sighed, Harry bit his lip fighting not to laugh.

"How the hell did they set fire to custard?!" Harry said through choking off laughter.

"I literally have no idea!" Rory shook his head.

"Remind me not to let them loose in my kitchen," Harry shook his head starting up the stairs.

"I tell myself that every time I see them along together in the kitchen," Rory nodded heading towards the kitchen.

He routed through his bedroom where he was fairly sure the DVD was, it was the last time that he remembered having it. The Doctor had caught the tail end of The Avengers and had decided that he wanted to watch all of the DVD's in the collection, Captain America being the best start.

Finally he came across it hiding underneath some of his washing, mentally reminding himself that he probably should do a wash, especially considering the fact that he was likely to be starting to travel with the Doctor soon. Trekking down the stairs he paused halfway down when he heard raised voices coming from the living room, Amy's irate tones covering nearly everyone else's but he hurried down the stairs when he recognised another of the voices.

He went practically unnoticed as he hurried into the room to find Amy, Rory and the Doctor facing Ginny, Molly, Hermione, Arthur and Ron. Ginny, Molly and Hermione were red in the face and attempting to argue with Amy, attempting being the operative word, Arthur and Ron were standing looking unsure, though Ron's ears were red which was a sure indication of rising anger. Rory and the Doctor were part of the argument but they were clearly allowing Amy to lead the fight.

"We don't even know who you are, what right do you have to tell us what is best for Harry?!" Hermione managed to say over Amy, her voice twisted into an ugly sneer.

"Well that says a lot doesn't it? You're supposed best friend didn't tell you about us. However he has told us plenty about you, and as you refuse to listen to what Harry tells you he wants, as his friends we are telling you as well, and we are warning you, leave him alone!" Amy shouted glowering at Hermione. Right at that moment the Doctor turned and saw Harry standing in the doorway and held his hand out in question.

The room went silent when they all looked around to find Harry standing there. And suddenly he was faced with a room full of expectant looks for him to side with them, everyone was looking at him with a demand or ask for him to go to them, to side with them. Except for one set of eyes, one set of eyes were clearly hoping that he would choice them, but there was warmth and understanding in them and no hint of demand. Smiling softly he crossed the room and slipped his hand into the Doctor's still extended one and held it tightly.

"Harry!" Molly shrieked.

"Oh shut up you harpy!" Amy rolled her eyes making Harry having to bite back laughter at the completely stunned look on Molly's face, completely unused to being spoken to like that.

"Let go of him! You have no right to be touching my fiancé like that! Harry I demand you come over here right now and I shall forgive you for this…this ridiculousness!" Ginny stamped her foot, making Harry, he Doctor, Amy and Rory stare incredulously at her.

"Ginny I have told you dozens of times that I'm gay! I don't like girls! And we will never be together!" Harry rolled his eyes pressing into the Doctor's side.

"This is stupid Harry, I have no idea where you got this idea from, but you are not gay, you belong with Ginny, everyone can see it! You and her are going to get married and you are going to be happy!" Hermione snapped exasperated.

"Can you hear yourself you psychotic, delusional, control freak? You are telling him that he is going to be happy, you're not even listening to him!" Amy snapped back.

"Hermione, I'm very much gay, I described my first kiss as wet! If that didn't give away my sexuality I'm fairly sure my obsession with Draco Malfoy would have!" Harry shook his head.

"You're not gay!" Hermione, Molly and Ginny shouted at the same time while the Doctor turned and looked at him concerned.

"Who is Draco Malfoy?"

"Just someone from school that I probably fancied for a while and didn't realise it. But we could never be together, I fancy his appearance, not his personality," Harry grinned at the bout of jealousy that he was showing. In the background Amy was finishing laying into the three women opposite them about apparently being deaf.

"I have seen and faced scarier things than you lady! If you think that puffing yourself up like a blowfish and shrieking at me is going to work you have a long way to go!" Amy laughed at Molly, who had indeed apparently been trying to intimidate her.

"You're not gay! Be belong with me!" Ginny screamed frustrated.

"Harry belongs with no one, he's with me!" The Doctor glared stepping slightly in front of Harry as his powerful glare settled on the girl.

"He belongs with me! We're meant to be together! We look like his mum and dad and we're supposed to be together, everyone thinks so!" Ginny snapped.

"Everyone but Harry, and I think he's the one that counts," The Doctor snapped back at Ginny, clearly beginning to lose his temper.

"That's just gross!" Amy scrunched her nose.

"Why would Harry want to be with someone who looks like his mum?" Rory nodded looking a little grossed out himself.

"I think if he was straight he would at least me more likely to be with bushy, bucky and naggy than someone who looks like his mum, though I have to say having seen pictures of Harry's mum you are much less prettier," Amy shook her head. Harry had to press his mouth into the Doctor's shoulder blade where he was standing in front of him when Molly, Ginny and Hermione all looked incredibly offended at the words.

"You have no business to be involved in this conversation," Ginny sneered at Amy.

"Actually I do, as Harry's friend and someone who actually cares about him and what he wants," Amy hit back. Ron and Arthur wincing at the implications of her words.

"Harry will marry me!" Ginny said sounding so sure.

"No, he won't!" The Doctor said angrily glaring at Ginny. Harry reached out and wrapped his arm around the top of the Doctor's arm and gripped it comfortingly.

"This man shows up and you suddenly decide that you're gay and that you want to be with him, this is silly Harry," Hermione said softly, her voice completely condescending.

"Actually all that the Doctor showed me was that I should do what was right for me and stand for what I wanted rather than allow the people that are supposed to care about me trample all over me and drag me into a life that will make me miserable and is the complete opposite of what I wanted. If it wasn't for him, and his support I would have smothered in the expectations of you all by now. And I was gay long before the Doctor came along, he just helped me realise it considering I haven't exactly had the time to really think about my sexuality all things considering," Harry snorted.

"You tell them Harry!" Amy patted him on the shoulder in support before turning her glare onto the others.

"This is getting ridiculous. Harry you're part of our family, you'll marry Ginny and just make it official. Now, why don't you send these people away and we will forget this silliness from you and we will help you fix all the hurtful and silly things you have done over the last few weeks," Molly smiled warmly. Harry dropped his head onto the Doctor's shoulder exasperated.

"Wow you lot really do not hear a thing that he says do you?!" Amy shook her head.

"Harry doesn't need a family like you around him, and frankly the fact that you use family in such a sense is disgusting, family support each other no matter what, the choices that they make and the things in life that they decide. They support and help each other in life, what you are doing to Harry is not how real family treat each other," the Doctor scowled even as he slipped his fingers through Harry's and held onto it in reassurance.

"Besides, Harry is becoming part of our family, and we want him exactly the way he is and exactly the way that he wants to be," Amy smirked throwing her arm around Harry's shoulders, Rory nodded his agreement from beside his wife, making the growing warmth I Harry's chest get even bigger.

"I think that you should leave my home now, and you're not welcome back, any of you," Harry said softly holding tighter onto the Doctor's hand as he took another step in ridding himself of the expectations placed upon him, but also from closing down a stage of his life.

"Harry…" Ron choked out shocked as Harry's green eyes settled on him telling him that he was included as well.

"No Ron, you've just stood there, through all of this, the last few months you have stood there and done nothing to stick up for me or to help me, even though you know how much it's getting to me. You're supposed to be my best friend, you could see this was making me miserable and that this was the complete opposite of what I wanted, but you never once stepped in and tried to stick up for me. I've had enough of the people I care about and are supposed to care about me running all over my life and trying to control and run it while giving me no options or thinking about what it might actually be that I want, or even listening to me! So no, I've had enough. I'm doing what I want, and what will make me happy, and that's with the Doctor. I want you all to leave, and I will be removing you from my wards, you won't be able to get back into this house," Harry said more firmly, meeting the eyes of each of the people standing opposite him.

"Harry…please!" Hermione choked out looking stricken and horrified.

"No, I've tried talking to you till I'm blue in the face and you just won't listen. I've had enough, you have proven exactly how much you care about me and my happiness, when that's all that I try to give to you. I've given too much and I haven't got anything left to give you. Now, leave," At Harry's last word even Amy and Rory could feel the power in it and the magic quickly closing around them as Harry activated the wards to forcefully apparate the others out. He would have to thank Andromeda for showing him that ward.

When he opened his eyes from closing down the wards to them the Doctor, Amy and Rory were all watching him with concern and impressed looks on their faces.

"Are you ok?" the Doctor asked stepping right in front of him and pressing a gentle kiss to Harry's cheek in support.

"I don't know," Harry said honestly as shock settled into his system at the fact he had actually done it.

"Will you be ok?" the Doctor asked concerned rubbing his thumb over Harry's cheekbone gently.

"Yes, I'll be just fine. It had to be done," Harry smiled slightly leaning into the Doctor before sucking a deep breath. "Right how about this desert?" he asked.

"It'll be pretty cold by now," Rory said pointing to the bowls sitting on the table.

"Ah, that one is easy to fix!" Harry grinned a little tapping each bowl with is wand and watching as steam started to rise from them.

"That's handier than a microwave!" Amy grinned snagging one of the bowls of custard and sitting down on the sofa her and Rory had been on, Rory grabbing the bowl of fish fingers and sitting down beside her.

"I can't believe that I am actually going to try and eat this!" Harry shook his head grabbing the other bowl of custard and sitting down. The Doctor flopped down beside him grinning with the second bowl of fish fingers.

"It's delicious!" The Doctor assured him, all three of them laughing at the dubious look that Harry sent them. Picking up one of the fish fingers the Doctor dipping it into the custard before holding it to Harry's mouth and waiting expectantly. Wrinkling his nose a little as the thought of what he was about to eat went through his head he gathered his courage and took a bite.

"That is really gross and weirdly alright!" Harry laughed through his mouthful before chewing and swallowing.

"It's perfection!" The Doctor smacked his lips together dramatically as he dipped the fish finger into the custard and took another bite.

"How about adding a hint of dragons blood, Welsh Dragon or Japanese Elemental," Andromeda suggested peering into the cauldron Harry had set on the cooker.

"Japanese would probably be the best, it would promote the most healing," Harry nodded searching through his collection of vials to find the right one.

The Doctor, Amy and Rory had nipped away to take Amy and Rory home for a little bit and the Doctor was gathering information based on the ritual Harry had given him for them to try and retrieve Melody. And while they were doing that Harry was working on the healing potion for Amy.

"When will they be back?" Andromeda asked settling down on a seat at the counter and watching as Harry worked carefully on the potion.

"Amy and Rory will be staying at theirs for a little bit, apparently they have some things that they need to do now. The Doctor will be back in a week he said," Harry said as he added the dragons blood and stirred before he turned and leant against the counter looking at Andromeda unsurely.

"What is it Harry?" Andromeda asked gently.

"The Doctor…he…" Harry stopped not sure how to finish telling her.

"Are you going with him?" Andromeda asked, no hint of accusation in her voice.

"He's offered, and I accepted yes," Harry nodded.

"I think it's the right choice for you to make Harry, and with that thing of his you can come back only a few days down the line right?" Andromeda smiled.

"A few hours down the line, minutes before we left," Harry nodded walking over to her. "I'm not going to miss out on Teddy's life, I promised him I was going to be there for him and I will keep that!" Harry swore.

"I know you won't Harry. You're making the right choice for yourself and what you need. And you will have amazing places to take Teddy on holiday," Andromeda patted Harry's cheek comfortingly. "Now, let's get this potion finished,"

"Thank you Andromeda," Harry kissed her cheek before turning back to the cauldron.

"Are you going to make this a habit?" Harry squinted out his front door as the light from his hallway burnt his eyes as he glared out into the darkness.

"I have timing issues," the Doctor winced glancing around at the darkness around her.

"You're not supposed to admit that out loud until you have a ring on my finger," Harry snorted turning around.

"I didn't mean it like that!" the Doctor squawked hurrying in after him and closing the door. "That's not funny!" The complained as Harry started snickering when he started up the stairs.

"I'm going back to bed, you either come with me or don't destroy my house and don't touch the potion," Harry called over his back. He could practically hear the Doctor thinking it over at the bottom of the stairs before he heard the soft footfalls behind him. Walking into his bedroom he slipped off his robe and crawled back under the covers, flopping down heavily and snuggling down just as the Doctor stepped into the room.

He could hear the rustle of fabric and the Doctor's shoes hitting the floor, before the bed dipped on the opposite side of his bed and the covers lifted. Once the Doctor had finally settled after nearly five minutes of shuffling and wriggling, his already endless energy and twitchiness not helping him settle when he was clearly unsure of the situation.

Finally though he settled down and taking a bite into his courage Harry rolled over and rested his head on the Doctor's shoulder, relaxing more into him when the Doctor responded by wrapping his arm around Harry's waist firmly.

Harry lifted green eyes to meet the hazely brown ones of the Doctor when his free hand tugged slightly at Harry's hair, gentle lips rested against his own, a hint of tentativeness to them until Harry responded and pressed back. He sighed happily into the kiss pressing a little closer as he threw his own arm over the Doctor's bare waist and absorbed the taste, smell and feel of the man back with him. Separating with dozens of small kisses that spoke of their reluctance to separate.

"I missed you," The Doctor said softly kissing the tip of Harry's nose making him giggle slightly.

"I missed you too, you're back sooner than you said," Harry smiled snuggling closer to him.

"I may have managed to do things quicker and gotten back earlier because I missed you," the Doctor confessed kissing Harry's cheek softly.

"I'm glad," Harry smiled turning to capture the Doctor's lips again.

"I don't want to have to leave you again," the Doctor sighed as they settled down, Harry's ear resting on the Doctor's chest listening to the double thump thump of the Doctor's hearts.

"So don't and we'll both be happy," Harry smiled.

"I'll try my best," The Doctor ran his fingers gently through Harry's hair.

"That's all I ask," Harry murmured sleepily before nodding off himself.

"I'll try my very best," he whispered into Harry's dark hair before settling down to sleep himself.
