"Yep" his lips popped at the letter 'p' at the end of the word "I was feeling that as well. Glad Jack got here when he did because I would've been as bad as you" the Doctor joked with a grin. Hearing the Master the Doctor chuckled "Quite right, I do remember that time" as the Master commented on how he looked the Doctor returned the smirk "Well it's a shame I won't be winning Mr. Universe" he joked with a chuckle. The Doctor helped the Master into the room after giving him the medicine and was surprised to see the Master enjoying having his hair messed with but seeing the Master's reaction a smile touched the Time Lord's lips. "Always allowing your true nature to shine through… Oh Master" the Doctor leaned in and placed a kiss upon the Time Lord's forehead. As he did however a memory returned to him. -*- The two were celebrating Theta's graduation from the academy, He chose that night (since it would be his last there) to spend it with Koschei. He's been spending so much of his time with Patience and Melody that he never made time for Koschei but this night? This very important night the Doctor chose to spend it with his best friend. The two had gone through four six-packs of ginger beer and were feeling pretty darn good right about then. Theta being red in the cheeks and giggling as the two Time Lords joked around with stories from their past. "The Doctor, quite the title there Theta" commented Koschei as he took a drink of his last bottle of ginger beer "But you have a good natured soul, so I know you'll live up to that title" Theta was smiling as he leaned against Koschei, rested his head against the elder young man's chest "The Doctor and The Master, I like that" lifting his gaze to meet Koschei's blue orbs Theta grinned "I'm glad you agreed to spend this night with me" The closeness of their faces were too close for Koschei as he backed his head away which couldn't go far considering it was against the wall within millimeters. There was definitely red in the black haired Time Lord's face and at that moment it wasn't due to the alcohol it was due to the Time Lord inches from his own face. "Theta…" whether it was the haze of the alcohol or just the moment between them. Koschei leaned in to close the gap between their lips with a kiss. At first Theta's eyes went wide as his hearts skipped a bit but in that moment he lowered his guard and returned the affectionate gesture. Their first kiss and at that moment it was a rather passion filled kiss, true feelings had been released in the kiss. Yet as it continued the drums in Koschei's head were pulsating loudly, causing the older Time Lord's skull to ache, so much he shoved Theta with full force away from him as he reached up holding his head. The Force of the shove was so strong it caused Theta to crash against the wooden floor as he flew off the bed with a thud. Laying there holding his shoulder Theta winced "I-I'm sorry Koschei" wincing the young man slowly sat up as he looked to his friend in pain "…. Koschei…" concern took over Theta's features as he neared the other Time Lord and reached out to touch his shoulder only to get his hand smacked away. "Don't touch me, Theta!" But Theta moved closer and wrapped his arms around Koschei holding the struggling Time Lord firmly in his arms not letting go. "No, you're suffering from… those drums I'm not letting you go" Koschei grew violent and began to punch and hit Theta who even though they hurt managed to take the hits, his eyes shut tight as he tried to block the pain and continued to hold Koschei "I’m not letting go…" he spoke firmly and to his relief the punches stopped as arms from the older Time Lord wrapped around him, followed by sobbing. "Theta…" Tears trickled down Theta's eyes as he opened them looking down to Koschei "I'm here, Koschei… I'm here" placing a kiss on Koschei's forehead a young Theta held him close. "I'm not going anywhere, not tonight" he whispered and scooted close, moving to lay them both as he held Koschei through the remainder of the night. -*- As the memory faded the Doctor looked to his fellow Time Lord and gulped down a knot that had formed in his throat. To his surprise the Master had embraced him but what surprised him most of all feeling the Time Lord's lips against his own, in that moment the Doctor returned the kiss whole heartedly . When the Master parted and spoke the Doctor looked to him "I … I did momentarily but… I then later blamed it on the alcohol.." the unexpected punch caused the Doctor to wince but he allowed the Master to let it all out. Before the Doctor could even embrace the Master, the Time Lord had cluched a pillow and laid back and began with the name calling. The Doctor's eyes shone with sadness as he looked to his long time friend, the Doctor didn't speak, not a word, moving over he crawled onto the bed and hovered over the Master staring down to him "I know I've wrong you the past, Master" with a hand the Time Lord cupped the other's cheek as he gazed into the man's hazel-brown eyes "and I know nothing I say can make up for it" slowly he lowered his body down to lay on top of the Master 'somewhat' not wanting to put much weight on the other Time Lord "But… I learned a long time ago and have accepted that.. I've loved you since we were young" leaning in the Doctor pressed his lips to Master, kissing the Time Lord passionately. It seemed however that the moment was ruined as the door to the Master's bedroom opened and there stood, at first a surprised Immortal but then a grin formed upon his lip "Oh please say I can get in on that action…" he gave a momentary fan "Because baby that is hot" The Doctor pulled from the Master's lips upon the interruption and gave a semi-glare before a sigh "Stop it" was all he replied with which caused Jack to laugh. "Breakfast is ready you two, something light but will help regain your stomach tolerance for food later." with that he walked out leaving the Time Lords alone.
