#GAWD #the way he just LOOKS at her #he thinks he’s too old for her and at this point he’s just pining for her #she has yet to prove or even realize her love for him #and nine is so good #he stays clear of her and lets her realize her love for him all on her own #when he sends her away it’s his act of love in saving her #and when she returns it’s not only an act of love in saving him #but in purely coming back#because coming back—just coming back— means she loves him too (via burnupasun)
the Doctor: Hey I just met you
the Doctor: And this is crazy
the Doctor: but I'm your future dying 900 year old alien lover and you're gonna meet me - or a younger version of me that actually looks older - when I save your life from living killer mannequins and from a plastic duplicate of your boyfriend and we're gonna travel together in space and time in a blue police box until you get stuck in another universe with your (ex-)boyfriend and your mother which fell in love with a living, rich version of our father and then you'll find a way to come back only to go back to that alternative universe with a half-human version of me to live there happily ever after and have sex and I just came to see you one last time before I regenerate even though you don't even know me yet
