Re: The Doctor (Eleventh) | Doctor Who | OTA
"Yes...I do." He felt his chest ache just a little as he listened to the other, knowing it'd been longer than a 'little while'. Normally he could last at least a year or two before he started babbling at himself which made him wonder just how long it'd really been for the younger Time Lord. "I could've taken a wild guess and hoped for the best...or avoided the subject all together. Too many ways you could trip up talking about my past and your future.", he frowned as he held the other's hand just a bit tighter now. "Yes, it really was."
He hesitated a moment before moving to stand, gently tugging the other to his feet and into his arms. It was a bit foolish to think he could cure everything with a hug, but that didn't mean he'd ever really skip that part. Hand holding was nice, but a bit too distant for him anyways.
