(Written for and posted on Valentine's Day 2011. It's still part of the storyline :D)
"What's so great about ol' Saint Val? Did he eradicate viruses, rescue doomed civilizations? Was he even a great lover? I mean, he had to be if this day for romance is named after him."
"I met the bloke, cheated me out of a sausage roll," the Doctor said.
"How'd he cheat you out of it? How'd you even come by the sausage roll in the first place?"
"I found it all wrapped up in my pocket, and the game was 'love poker'… he wasn't very clear on the rules, I just imagine that he loved that sausage roll."
"Nice to see you two have an easy conversation. Don't get much of that from you two these days."
"It's a story about some lovey-dovey saint supposedly nicking a meat pastry from our gallant Doctor here. I think we could find much worse things to talk about, but right now all this talk of food is making me hungry," and so the Master left the Console Room.
"Valentine's Day tomorrow…" Jack said awkwardly.
"And…?"
"And, have you got anything planned? If you still want to be with that crazy-ass in the kitchen, tomorrow is the perfect day to make the effort."
"I make the effort!"
"When was the last time you kissed him, or hugged him, or told him you love him? 'Cause you two ain't done any of that in a long while."
The Doctor looked decidedly upset. Jack was right, their relationship had virtually died. But when was he ever one to go along with death? He'd make the effort. He'd make it tomorrow.
Breakfast the next morning was eaten in silence. It was clear nobody wanted to do something about the occasion at hand. Not yet.
Everyone stayed in separate rooms for the rest of the day. The Doctor in the infirmary, the Master in the library, Jack… he was somewhere, although quite where we'll never know. He'll probably turn up where we can find him later.
The Doctor was leaning over a countertop with his hands clinging to the edge. A sudden feeling of unknown arms encircling him from behind had him taken aback. He quickly realized who was holding him.
"I thought you said you'd be in the library all day… and all night too, as I recall."
"I thought you said you'd be sorting out all the medical stuff in here. Guess we're both liars, seeing as you've probably been here in the same position all day."
"…It gave me time to think. I needed to think, sort my head out. You'd think I'd have done it already, with a brilliant mind like mine."
"You're not just a brilliant mind, I've always admired your arse." A gentle squeeze of said arse.
"Would I be right in saying you're flirting with me?"
"Oh, I'm hoping this is going to be very much more than flirting. Fair do's, but we are married."
"Yes, but you don't have to disrupt my work."
A marvellous pout, "Oh, but we both know that you've never been working all day today. Thinking, you said.
"Fine, you don't have to disrupt my train of thought."
"What were you thinking about, may I ask?"
"You already know, Koschei" a scowl.
"…"
A sigh, "Us; I was thinking about us… and if we still have a future."
The Master's body pressed up against his from behind, "Theta, surely my actions since I got here are some indication of the future."
"No there not, they're just an indication of you being horny. I want a future for, do you? Do you still love me?"
"An answer for an answer."
"Yes, I love you, so very much Koschei. Do you love me?"
"In all honesty, I don't know anymore. I think I do, but I'm confused. I can tell you want it to be more than just sex."
"It's always been more than just sex with us! Why is now any different?" another sigh, "go to your room and go to sleep. Meanwhile I'll decide whether I want to surprised you or not."
"Surprise me…?"
"Just go, Koschei. And go to sleep, I might be there when you wake up - might."
The prospect of waking up to see his lover spurred him out.
He woke 2 hours later to find an extremely grumpy Doctor sitting down cross-legged at the edge of his bed.
"I didn't say I'd be smiling."
"Why aren't you smiling?"
"I'm unsure of you. Because you're unsure of our relationship."
"I'm not unsure… just confused."
"Do you want a divorce?"
"What!"
"-because I'm sure we can get one! I wont halt your decision."
"I don't want a divorce!"
"Then WHAT do you want!"
"I DON'T KNOW!"
"WELL LUCKY I DO THEN!"
And suddenly they were a tangle of wandering limbs, their mouths locked together. The Master was in bliss. The Doctor, really kissing him after so long!His Doctor, his Theta, only his.
As suddenly as it had started, it stopped, and the Doctor pulled away, "Happy Valentines Day, love."
"If I get a snog on V-Day I'd love to see what I'll get when Easter comes round. I've always had a fantasy of you dressed as a playboy bunny, laying in a sea of chocolate eggs…"
"That's doable. That's completely doable;" Another wonderful kiss.
"Right now I think one of us is doable. Who's going to be doing who?" the Master's seductive smirk showed through.
The Doctor now looked upset, "I neglected you Koschei, I neglected our relationship, so much that we nearly forgot all that we have! …I don't feel like sex right now, can we just cuddle?"
Roles reversed, and the Master had him pinned down under him. "When will you feel like it, Theta? because I've been waiting months for us to be together in the same bed again."
The Master lustful glare, despite the Doctor's earlier words, had him turned on. Allot.
The Master began to suck and nibble his neck, leaving him breathless. Then he pulled back, "God bless ol' Saint Val!"
The Doctor got his breath back and chuckled, "He can steal a pasty from me any time he likes!"
