Chapter 10 - "I love you"

A/N - At the end of the page

~Three more days later~

"Does it taste okay?" Anan asked as he watched me greedily stuffing the food into my mouth.

"Itfs delicfius." I said, my mouth full with the food that I was now once again able to eat.

Since yesterday, everything started going a whole lot better again. So much that I was now actually able to eat again. Swallowing still hurt, because my throat was still sore, but that was something that would go away over time, I knew from experience.
I was about 95% sure that I'd make a full recovery, but also knew that the 5% were some terrifying odds as well, it had been those odds exactly that had made me sick in the first place.

"I'm glad to see you're eating again." The Doctor said as he smiled. He looked tired, probably because he hadn't strayed from my bedside for the past six days, but he also looked better. Just as I was recovering, so was he. I was intensely happy that I wouldn't cause him any heartache by dying as so many others had before, I was happy that he too would probably make a full recovery.

"You know what? When you're all better again, I'll take you to see the Rings of Akhaten. I'm sure you'll love their singing. And- oh, I know, wouldn't you like to meet Galileo Galileï?" I laughed as I swallowed the last bit of the food.

"I'd love to meet Galileo Galileï, but I probably wouldn't understand a word he'd say."

"You know the TARDIS translates for you, right?" He asked puzzled.

"I know, math just isn't really my strongest point." He laughed and nodded.

"Then you choose. All of time and space, I'll take you anywhere you want to go. Just tell me." He was as psyched as a little kid going to an amusement park.

"Just calm down, we'll have plenty of time."

~Finally, three days later~

As I was sitting on the tribune, listening to the Queen of Ages' singing with a perfect view of the Rings of Akhaten, I could say I was truly happy. Not just because of the perfection of the situation, but also because I could share it with someone I loved. The Doctor leaned against my shoulder, humming along to the song. I suddenly realized something.
"You know what just hit me?"
"What?"
"I haven't said it even once yet."
"Said what?" I gently planted a kiss on his lips and smiled.
"I love you."

And they continued their Time Lord lives together, traveling together, finding more and more Time Lords and rebuilding the civilization of their race as it should've continued all those years ago.

Even though they added in some slight improvements, it's the continuity that counted.

Many dangers crossed their paths, but they faced it head on and conquered every single one of them.

Well, every but one…

But that is another story altogether…

A/N: So, as promised, this is the end! (but if I feel like it I'll conjure up some more adventures for them)
I really enjoyed writing this.
It's my first DW fanfic (which might be very obvious), but I kind of put off writing one for DW because I find the Doctor an immensely hard character to write about. I mean, he's just so changeable, going from happy to depressed in a matter of seconds and that's just kind of hard for me I guess...

Anyways, please tell me what you thought of it and if you would like to see some more.

Thanks to everyone for reading this, but especially to you who stuck with me to the end!
