purple_bugThirtieth and thirty-first drabbles for the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
doctorwho_100 challenge. I forgot to post them yesterday. But then I guess I've been a bit quiet on the drabble front for a while. Blame my exams. But now I'm back to my weekly(ish) updating! With two drabbles to make up for the gap :o)
Fic Name: Love Hurts
Rating: G
Prompt: Friends (#021)
Claim: Companions
Companion: Thomas Hector (Hex) Schofield
Timeline: During The Settling.
Spoilers: Some for The Settling.
“It’s not so unlikely, is it?”
Ace clears her throat and dodges the question. Hex can’t help but feel disappointed. He’s just a ‘little brother’ to her, and that’s all. He’s sitting there shirtless, and she’s worrying about his bruises and what the Doctor might think.
He really thought something might happen back there; when she moved close, voice low, he thought it was leading somewhere. Then she suggested a holiday in Croydon and the moment dissolved.
Her touch is gentle, but there’s only concern behind it, nothing deeper. It doesn’t half sting; and not just the cuts and bruises.
Fic Name: Dodge the Question
Rating: G
Prompt: Lie (#048)
Claim: Companions
Companion: Dorothy (Ace) McShane
Timeline: During The Settling.
Spoilers: Some for The Settling.
She doesn’t know what to say. He asks if she would leave with him, and it shocks her, shakes into wakefulness those thoughts that she’s been ignoring. She realises how much she wants him to stay, and it goes further beyond ‘kid brother’ than she’d like to admit. And if he doesn’t stay, what would she do?
She can’t answer him yet. She needs to think. So she lies, lets herself be angry that he’s thinking of leaving. Later, as she plays nurse, she hides her feelings, makes plans for Croydon, and curses herself for not knowing her own mind.
