[RL - Haruhi, open to Jenny and Donna to jump in~ - This was unexpected, what do we do now?]

[timey_wimey]

[The Doctor ran as fast as his legs could carry him through the corridors of the TARDIS, panting in his hurry to get to Haruhi. Omega, he was so worried about her. As if Lockon wasn't enough - enough for all of them - Haruhi was still sick, and all this stress couldn't be good for her fighting off the infection that was still stubbornly clinging to her system. That sound... that hadn't sounded good.

Damn it. He wished this would stop happening. Or at least stop happening all at once. Haruhi could yell at him or cling to him, whatever, but he was sick of seeing her so sad. That was happening far too often lately.

He tore around the last corner and burst into her room, wild-eyed.]

Haruhi?

Not good enough, sometimes.

[nestles up to him]

What do you mean?

[timey_wimey]

Well, you keep getting sick, and then there was that whole thing on... [Trails off.] I dunno.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

But it's not your fault I get sick. On Midnight?

[timey_wimey]

Well yeah, but I'm pretty useless when you do, aren't I? And... yeah. On Midnight.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

No, you're always there, holding my hand, and that's not being useless.

...That was their fault, you tried to protect me.

[timey_wimey]

Really?

I know, but... never mind being the Doctor, I'm supposed to be your dad, and I still couldn't do anything.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

My real parents never looked after me when I was sick.

...It's part of this life, right? Bad things sometimes happen.

[timey_wimey]

Well, if I ever see them I'll have a few choice words then, won't I?

Yeah. Yeah, it is. [Pause.] D'you still want to stay?

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

I hope you don't ever have to meet them.

[grips his shirt like a little child] Don't want to ever leave you.

[timey_wimey]

Oh, I don't know. Could be interesting, being the one doing the slapping for once. [Weak grin]

[Tight hug!] Yeah? ... Good.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[quietly] Please don't.

[lets herself be enveloped in his hug] I'll be with you forever.

[timey_wimey]

[Just as quietly] Alright then. If you don't want me to, I won't.

[Says nothing to that. He doesn't really need to.]

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[quietly] I don't want them to take me away from you.

[timey_wimey]

They wouldn't get the chance to. This TARDIS is pretty good for quick getaways.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

I just want them to believe that I'm an honorable daughter who does well in school and her duties.

[grips tighter]

But I'll stay with you.

[timey_wimey]

[Looks at her curiously] But you do do well in school, from what I've heard. A lot better than I did, by far.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

I do good, but...I just wish they wanted more from me than my school performance.

[starting to cough again]

[timey_wimey]

Well, that's their fault, not yours.

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

And it doesn't matter, I'm with you now.

[timey_wimey]

[Nudges her lightly] And I'm brilliant, right?

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

You're my papa.

[this affirms it]

[timey_wimey]

[Grins completely goofily at this!]

[godisagirl.livejournal.com]

[leans her head against his shoulder, feeling rather tired]

[timey_wimey]

[He knows that look thar.]

Tired?
