It took a few more seconds as Nine processed what the other Doctor had said, but he eventually nodded his head, though his eyes never left the back of the suited man, focused there intently.

"I'll take care of her. I'll keep her safe. I always have. As much as we worry over her, she was the one who saved us.. more than once." She could take care of herself, most times, but they still always watched over her. And Nine knew, of course, that he'd lose her, but still..

He was turning, then, putting his back to Ten, who had his back to Nine, so he could face the closed door, hand coming out to reach for the handle before it dropped away, fingers never even grazing the cool metal. "When I first met you, all those years ago, I thought you were just like me, back then. And meeting you again, here, I've realized that you are just like me.. but not from back then. From now." You hadn't wanted to turn into him, Ten. But in too many ways, you were just like him. "I saw you those first few days, saw you avoid her, saw you with him, and I thought you were different. Thought you were happy. But I was wrong, wasn't I?"

He had seen it with his own eyes, but he'd been mistaken. He'd thought Ten had allowed himself to find happiness, but he hadn't. It was, of course, the exact opposite. He'd pushed it away, like Nine had-- No. Worse than Nine. He himself was quite sure he was incapable, he was different, he was off. But Ten.. he was capable, but he pushed it away. He refused it. Don't think Nine hadn't noticed.
