The Name

Summary: What is that name Missius calls the Doctor?

Doctor: Eleven

AN: For the sake of copyright, I probably won't use direct quotes and also because this is an AU anyways so… As always, any ideas you'd like to share, by all means however I've already chosen their daemons.

(*7 3# - Gallifreyan (The TARDIS doesn't translate)

~?~?~?~

"Come along, (*7 3#," Missius said, stomping her foot, "sleep or not, you need to rest."

"But Missi," the Doctor whined, but still complied, sitting down on the couch.

"That brain of yours can't work forever, (*7 3#," Missius said, and sat in his arms.

The Doctor was still lost in concentration as he held Missius with one arm while stroking the length of her back with the other. From across the library, Amy and Bilando were sitting on the other couch; Bilando was sleeping, and Amy was browsing through one of the Doctor's travel journals. However, the Doctor and Missius were distracting her; she was smiling at them.

"You guys are cute," Amy said quietly, rubbing Bilando's scruff.

"I'm not cute," the Doctor instantly argued, tweaking a feather.

Missius nipped him in retaliation. "Yes you are (*7 3#," she corrected.

"I am not," the Doctor whined, finally looking at her.

"You are," Missius said firmly, "My cute, (*7 3#."

"What does that mean anyways?" Amy asked, gesturing at nothing. "That- gibberish."

"It's not gibberish," Missius huffed, "It's Gallifreyan; the only language the TARDIS doesn't translate."

"Well, what does it mean?" Amy asked, holding her sleeping daemon.

"Body," the Doctor replied, tightening his hold on Missius. "It means body."

"Body?" Amy frowned. "Why do you call him that Missi?"

"Because he is," Missius replied, "A Time Lord's second heart belongs to his daemon. And so (*7 3#, is my body."

"And she is my heart," the Doctor finished softly, holding Missius closer. "The bond between Missius and I is different from the bond you and Billi share."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Amy asked in a dangerous tone.

"Nothing bad," the Doctor hastened to reply. "Just that a human and daemon are two pieces of one body and Missi and me are-." the Doctor frowned.

"More," Missius chuckled.

"Yea," the Doctor's eyebrows furrowed. "Huh, I've never had to explain it before. I don't really know what words to use."

"No one's ever asked," Missius said simply.

"Yea," the Doctor agreed mindlessly,

Amy watched them for a moment. "Doctor," she began.

"Yes?"

Amy smiled. "Let's have an adventure," she said.

"Now you're speaking my language!"

End.

And there's the reason. In a moment, you'll read the origins of that title. Why Missi calls the Doctor her body.
