A/N: Thanks for the lovely reviews; I found it a bit heartbreaking to write as well!

I still don't own it.

05/11

I am being completely and utterly pathetic. And ridiculous. I've had all night to think about it, and trust me I have, and I still haven't worked up the courage to go and see him.

I mean he hasn't come to see me, but I never expected him to, I don't think it would be fair. I've even lost the half excuse I had of him needing time alone, he's had all night. I'm pretty sure he hasn't slept. When I was lying awake at various points during the nights I'm pretty sure I heard him banging away at the poor TARDIS.

Oh, I'm an idiot. I'm going to go and talk to him now. Must just decide whether to offer a bribe in the form of tea, toast and marmalade or not.

Later

I decided against the bribe – I wanted his full attention on what I was saying. I found him in the control room, the first place I checked.

I said "hi" so quietly I wouldn't have been surprised if he hadn't heard me – I haven't spoken that quietly since I had a cough and lost my voice.

He heard me though, and looked up. The first thing I noticed was that he hadn't slept – his hair was wild and there were dark circles underneath his eyes. I was soon drawn by the expression in them – it was a heart wrenching mix between hurt, sadness and despair.

The speech I had prepared vanished and my bottom lip trembled. I took a deep breath, tried not to cry and started talking, fast.

"Doctor, I'm so sorry. I had no right – "

That's as far as I got. He took a few swift steps until he was standing directly in front of me. He looked into my eyes and smiled slightly.

"No, I'm sorry. I was being unfair."

I bit my lip, still trying not to cry. I'm not usually a crying type of person but I don't seem able to stop at the moment. I wasn't tearing up because I felt so intensely sorry for him now – it was because we were making up and there was a chance that everything was going to be ok. How utterly illogical.

He held out both his arms and I barely had to move before I was enveloped in a wonderfully comforting hug. We stood there for so long, just taking comfort from the close presence of the other.

He finally broke the hug, but only by pulling away slightly. I was obviously still looking a bit woebegone because he took my head in his hands and made me look up at him. I saw his heart melting smile and couldn't help smiling back. It seemed to make him happy because he moved his hands to push the hair away from my face and said "good girl". I smiled a bit more naturally at that.

I decided to go and make some toast then and watch a film, something nice and easy that wouldn't add to my complete emotional exhaustion. He came with me. As we made the toast, tea and coffee we circled each other as we moved around the kitchen; not needing to talk and never getting in the other's way as if we'd been doing it for ages. Sitting in front of the television, munching away as the opening credits rolled, I felt so peaceful and happy. We seemed closer, more in tune than before we had before the fight. That thin film of ice he seemed to hide behind has disappeared, melted completely away and I have the strangest feeling that I will see more of the real Doctor from now on.

I must have fallen asleep, last night's restlessness catching up with me. When I woke up the Doctor was asleep too. I was curled up with my head lying on his chest just below his collar bone. He had one arm around my waist and, on top of the blanket he had cast over the both of us, he had one hand resting protectively on my upper arm. His head was resting on the back of the sofa tilted to one side.

I'd only seen him sleeping a couple of times and he'd always had a little frown between his brows. Now he looked completely peaceful with only a slight smile on his lips. I didn't want to wake him so I didn't move – I was also very warm and comfy and still more than a little sleepy. Resting my head back on my chest he tightened his arms around me as I moved a little closer. Best sleep I've had in ages.
