lullaby

You were used to being the one with the nightmares. Really. Maybe in each week or two you'd have a nightmare. But kept quiet about them. Most definitely not telling the doctor about them

But this evening was different. You aren't the kne having these nightmares this evening. It was the alien bloke in a tight suit.
Normally he doesn't usually sleep but you somehow forced him to sleep when it was obvious he needed it. I mean. Every creature needs to rest too. Even the last time lord needs itz rest.

You were softly sleeping in your room. Mostly definitely sleeping in your bed even tho you have claimed the floor was hella comfy. Until you felt the bed dip and someone lay next to you.

You flutter your eyes open to see the doctor. Tears in the brink of his soft brown eyes. Those eyes that looked so young yet old as well. His cheeks has traces of his dried tears from earlier. He takes notice of this and apologises

"I'm sorry for waking you up. Just uhm needed to make sure your safe and all"

"You had a nightmare now didn't you?"

You raised your eyebrow. The doctor nods. Looking away. Your eyes soften at this and place your hand on hic cheek. Stroking softly.

"What's the nightmare about doctor?. Maybe we can talk this out. "

The doctor looks at you in the eyes then nods. He pulls you close and buries his head on the crook of your neck. Taking in your scent. At times like these it was obvious that the doctor was so broken. His hearts were always in pain for all the things he had been through.

"Everyone left me...everyone but you... Your the longest that has stayed   with this face. And...the longer you dtay the longer i fear that one day you'll leave me behind. That one day i fail to save you or me leaving you...so my mind took advantage of that and well..."

"You dreamt of me leaving you?"

"I dreant of you dying on my arms.. "

You felt wetness on your shoulder. You soothingly rub the doctor's back and hum. You pull away and look deeply at the doctor's eyes

"I'll try my best to be careful to not leave or die on you. But the dying is not a promise. You know how clumsy i am compared to your past companions. "

You softly roll your eyes at the memories your constant tripping on air. You hear the doctor softly laugh and guessing by that he remembers as well all your clumsy shenanigans

You run your hand through the doctor's messier-then-usual-hair. And an idea to help the doctor sleep pops in to your head

"How about an lullaby?. My mom always sang to me when i’m going to sleep or when i was scared when i was young. "

The doctor nods and pulls you close again. Burying his face in the crook of your neck once more. Listening whenever your ready to sing.

"Let go in the garden. You'll find something waiting. Right there where you left it lying upside down. When you finally find it. You'll see how it's faded. The under side is lighter when you turn it around

Everything stays. Right where you left it.
Everything stays. Even if it changes.
Ever so slightly
Daily and nightly.
In little ways."

Youhear snoring and notice the doctor has already sleeping peacefully. Cuddling you like you were a teddy bear. Afraid that monsters will take you away.

"When everything stays..."
