“Please, don’t leave me. I wish you could stay with me forever, Doctor.”
Trying to keep the doctor in the same time for more than week is a very hard thing to do, I was used to many months of up and going to strange times every day, but now he was getting ready to leave me for the rest of my days.
(not wanting to see me grow up past the age he is forever stuck at)
“You know that isn’t possible, Hermione, I can’t bring myself to watch you grow old.”
Since the beginning it’s been a countdown to the day the doctor found himself too attached to me, I’ve seen it coming for weeks now (when those deadly words of love came slipping out), and then he would find a way to leave.
(take that damn box and fly millions of years away from me)
“I’m still pretty young, Doc, I think you can stand to stick around for at least another year or two.”
I was starting to sound desperate but at this point I could care less if I lost all of my bravery with the doctor, he had already seen me at my worst and shining at my best, all I cared about was making sure he didn’t go out that damn door.
(daring to use those three little words to make him stay by my side)
“God, I doubt I will ever find anyone as clever as you ever again, Granger, you’re one of a kind. However, if I don’t leave now I don’t think I can ever bring myself to leave later on.”
From the very start, when I had more sense not to get into strange boxes with aliens (and older goofy men), he made it certain that this wouldn’t last forever and one day he would leave me trapped in my world forever.
(show me all the wonders of the world and space and strip it away in a matter of seconds)
“I’d rather have you for the rest of my days than not have you at all.”
“You need to live your life, have a million red haired children, and safe the goddamn world and I would only be standing in your way.”
He wanted to me live my life as normal as possible, even though my magic filled life was far from normal, but after my taste of adventure (the kind I’ve been craving again for years) I didn’t want to give him or the life up just yet.
(my need for knowledge was finally satisfied when I was with the doctor)
“But what if I don’t want any of that? What if I just want you?”
“Sweetheart, you know that isn’t possible, not for me. I will only hurt you, Hermione Granger, and I can’t bring myself to do sit by and do that.”
As I watched leave in that brilliant box of his, the one that I had stupidly started to call home (despite knowing that it would never be that) I almost took out my wand and made him stay with a flick of it.
However, I couldn’t bring myself to forcibly change is mind, make his feet walk toward me instead of away, and the only thing I could do was sit by and watch him go.
“It’s already too late, Doc, I’m already hurt.”
