The Eleventh Doctor groaned as he fell through the time vortex and landed on his face , He was complaining as he stood up and rubbed the dirt off his pants. He hadn’t expected to fall through. Though he hadn’t expected them fall into a rose bush either.
“Ughh. Might somebody have checked that would have been great.” The Doctor grumbled. He was looking around.

The Doctor winced as he started to pull rose thorns out of his arm. He was bleeding. “Oh that’s just bloody brilliant.”
He looked around still and sighed deeply. “Well now we have to explain this to Clara…. Not sure how.” He knew he had never mentioned to Clara that he had ever had a relationship with his enemy, Or well he didn’t consider The Master , or well Kocshei his enemy anymore.

There was still a lot he wanted to ask Koschei, he had spent so long trying to forget as he thought he was dead.
The Doctor was also having trouble adjusting to the change. Which was why he was struggling to think of him as Koschei again.
Though he was truly grateful that he had his lover back. He had been jealous of Koschei kissing Ten and the fact he just felt like Koschei gave Ten more attention.

But he also knew that Koschei had last seen Ten really. He sighed a bit and rubbed his eyes. He was a bit tired but there was still a lot that he wanted to know.
“Ohhh well I suppose we better go.” He hoped the TARDIS wasn’t too far away. He wanted to get some rest after the long day he had . 
Running into his past self was something a bit strange to go through really. He knew it was for Ten and The old Master.

“Koschei holding up ok,” He checked to see where his lover had fallen or landed. He wanted to make sure that he was going to follow as well. The Doctor was still pulling thorns out “Rose bush… could have been any other place… and had to be there.”

The trip through the time vortex was something that Koschei still had to get used to. Where it was located through was something he really which could have been planned out more. Breaking through the vortex and hurdling to the ground the master landed with a thud causing him to groan as he laid there for a moment. It took him several moments to push the searing pain aside as he pushed himself to his feet. Thankfully the thorns had gotten attached to the thick layer of his jacket and didn't prick him yet looking to the Doctor he could see that wasn't the case for him. Hearing his question the man gave a nod "Yes, I'm alright… you on the other hand… look like a reversed porcupine" he gave a slight smirk but knew it wasn't a laughing matter.

"That looks painful" he spoke as he stepped toward the younger man, reaching into his coat pocket he pulled out a handkerchief before moving even closer and took the man's arm and began to gingerly pluck the remainder of the thorns out. He didn't speak a word and tended to the Doctor's bleeding arm. Wiping it free of blood he tapped into his newly regenerative powers, his fingertips giving a gentle golden glow as he healed the Doctor's arm. "There we go" he slowly lifted his blue eyes to the Doctor and small "All better"

Slowly pulling from the man he looked about "Now where are we? and who is Clara?" he was more curious rather than jealous. In a sense the 'Master' truly was a changed man, it seemed his time with the Doctor in his Tenth form during his darker evil days did change him all around. But seeing the Doctor's tenth version again, it brought all those memories back, the good times and the bad. Koschei was glad he saw his past self as well as the Doctor's. It truly helped him realize how far he'd come and he was grateful for every second of it.

"Well a rosebush is a lot better than the places we could have landed, don't you agree? the spikes of doom from Mandara come to mind" he shuddered at the thought. "Never pissing off that queen again… she was a vicious one" he shook his head and brought his gaze to his lover a softness in his blue eyes as he smiled "It's good to see you again" slowly reaching up he cupped the Doctor's cheek as he gazed into those green eyes of his "I've missed you" leaning in he pressed his lips against the Doctor's for a moment before parting as he pulled away "Let's find your TARDIS we're both in need of some rest"

The Doctor looked at Koschei and nodded “Yeah it is painful,” he huffed at the Masters comment about him looking like a porcupine. “I do not,” He was glad when the Master healed him, he though didn’t think he should have for something small.
“Though you better not have used up too much regeneration for something so small.” He was looking at him.

“Mmm London I hope… that’s where I left the TARDIS,” he looked around and made sure that it was London. “Clara is my current companion… ,” he said , He knew that it was going to be difficult to explain Koschei to her.
“She umm doesn’t know about us, Think all she knows about is when you tried to take over earth.” He gives a nervous grin. Really he was unsure how Clara would react. He was sure there had never been any romantic feelings between them, so he didn’t think she would get jealous at least he hoped. He also hoped she wasn’t against homosexual relationships.

“That was rather weird seeing our past selves, But you have changed so much, I almost forgot how aggressive and grumpy you could be.” He chuckled “But yet I wasn’t sure what I met you now.” He had missed the Master so much, he was almost crying again and he hugged him. “I still have to get used to the new you, But I do love the hair and am glad I have you back.” He wanted so much to just hug the Master all day. He knew they would have a lot to catch up on.

“Yes but rose bushes still hurt,:” he said. The Doctor really did hope that the TARDIS was near “When did you piss her off,” He chuckled “I don’t remember if that was something I was there for.” He kissed him and looked into his blue eyes. Though he was finding it strange to adjust to the new Master, he was more drawn to him then ever.

The Doctor walked by him and was looking around “Ah yeah I left it outside Clara’s house which is hopefully not far,” He was sure that looking at where they were wasn’t too far away. “Mmm rest and fish fingers and custard for dinner sounds like a good idea,” He knew where they were after a bit and began walking in right direction. 
“Ohh yeah this way.”

Koschei looked to the Doctor and couldn’t help but smile to his huff and his words “It’s nothing too big, no worries. At least you won’t feel pain now, eh?” as he began to explain about Clara, the man could only not “Let’s see how many has it been? Clara would be…” he thought back “Rose, Martha, Donna, Amy, River, and now Clara? Maybe more that I don’t know of. You sure do go through women like a jackrabbit” he gave a playful smirk. As he spoke about her not knowing about them Koschei had to hold back a snicker but failed as he in fact snickered at the thought “Oh this will be quite the conversation piece. ‘Oh by the way Clara, this is my Lover, Koschei, who used to be my enemy’ the man stopped himself knowing how the Doctor would react.

When he spoke of meeting their past selves, Koschei couldn't help but give a smile “It was nice, very nice seeing the old you again. I just wish I was a better man back then to truly appreciate my time spent with you in that form for it was short lived. I had only started to truly accept my feelings for you back then. Sure we held our … intimate nights and such but I didn't truly accept that I loved until I lost that form of you” he shook his head “But that’s in the past, we’re here now, together as it should be” Koschei’s arms wrapped around the shorter man as he pulled him ever so close in a loving embrace “I have you now, after searching for many years time. But you’re here with me” he whispered gazing down into the Doctor’s eyes “and I’m not leaving your side” he spoke with a smile.

As he brought up the Queen of Mandara, Koschei could only chuckle "It was during our separation. I had ended up on Mandara I don't even remember why or how but after a fling with the queen, causing a separation of royalties between her and the king. Then me telling her it was only to get the edge of my frustrations off got her .. rather angry and sent me to the pit of despair. It was during my blonde days" he shook his head. "Not proud of that time. Not proud of anything I did in the past really. Though I am proud of admitting my feelings for you. Being able to love you" he felt warmth at the thought and soon followed beside the Doctor.

As they reached the TARDIS, to Koschei's surprise, a rather beautiful brown haired girl was standing outside the blue box giving it a wipe down. "I take it that's Clara?" 

Clara had seem two figures in the corner of her eyes and turned her head, her eyes lit up as she dropped the rag using to clean the exterior of the TARDIS "Doctor!" heading to the tall lanky man she threw her arms around the Time Lord and hugged him tight. Yet that only lasted for a few moments as she released him and gave him a firm slap "Shame on you for leaving me like that. I was worried sick about you!"

Koschei's eyes softened at the hug the Doctor and Clara had shared but his eyes widened as she slapped him and ranted about him leaving. He didn't speak a word as he found that a tad amusing.

The Doctor just blushed seeming embarrassed by Koscheis comment “I don’t like being alone, I like feeling wanted and having people to care about me.” He shrugged “I always end up alone most of the time, suppose its rare that men will travel with me, other then Jack, Rory and you as off my last 3 regenerations.” 
He looked sad at the mention of his past companions and a few tears fell down his eyes. A lot of them had been his good friends, and some of them lovers at one point.

The Doctor though punched his shoulder “Its not that funny, its serious.. what if she doesn’t understand this.”
He didn’t want to loose any more of his friends, and he wanted to stay with The Master, he leaned onto him.

“Yeah I bet it was,” he fought to keep the jealousy from his voice. The Doctor though just relaxed with Koschei there, he had spent years missing the Master, even if he tried very hard to hide it. He had been so upset over losing him, there had been times he wasn’t sure he could cope. But trying to forget was the only way the Doctor was ever able to pull himself back together these days, his arms stayed around him.
“Good because I don’t think I could handle that anymore.” He told him. “It was too hard to loose you before.”

“Ah you always got yourself into a lot of trouble.” The Doctor smirked. He was so happy that he had him back. 
“ I hope you don’t as much now, yet suppose I am one to talk since I like the chaos.” He offered a small smile. His stomach was growling as he walked by him. He knew that there was still a lot to get used to.
“Oh the trouble we got into as kids…,” he chuckled. He remembered their days at the Academy and before then, it seemed a lot had changed since. He though still wondered if the Master suffered from the drums, he hadn’t seen him hold his head once. Maybe The Doctor had changed him so much that they were gone.

He soon stopped Clara “Yup That’s Clara.” He was about to go over and talk to her, When she slapped him and hugged him and started ranting. The Doctor looked a bit startled and worn out for it all.
“Ahhh I maculated and ended up in the wrong time stream, Meet my past self and found Koschei again.”

Clara looked confused “You miscalculated ?” She hadn’t ever seen him do that before. But she looked at the tall ginger haired man. “Is he another time lord.?”
She wasn’t quite sure and hoped they would explain it, she felt rather lost. The Doctor was rubbing where he got slapped.

“Oi not so hard next time.” The Doctor whined “And ummm Koschei… is a time lord and He umm..” he was red in the face. “He was my childhood friend turned enemy… and now we are lovers.” He blinked and wondered what she would say.

Did he just say what she thought he just said? It was so much for her to take in. Clara stood there shocked, confused, stunned but over all she held the expression of a deer in headlights. So much so that it took Koschei snapping his fingers in front of her face to pull herself back into reality from her spaced out moment. "he's.. you're… … you … both…" her dark brown eyes moved from the Doctor to the ginger man then stayed on him. Koschei smirked "Surprise" yet what happened next he was certain neither of the two time lords had expected. Clara had fainted.

Koschei was quick though he rushed in and caught her before she hit the ground "Is she normally like this?" he pulled her into his arms and cradled her 'bride style' thank god she was light. "Well it was a lot for her to take in" he stared down at the girl and headed toward the TARDIS. The door opening and the Time Lord walking in with Clara unconsciously clinging to the man's jacket. Koschei stood there looking about the TARDIS "A new look? Well this is interesting. I do like it" he got a good look around before he took Clara down to the lower levels where he found her bedroom and laid her down. "Poor Girl" he whispered and slowly tucked her in, brushing a few of her brunette locks from her face before making his way back up to the main floor of the TARDIS. 

 "That was unexpected, wasn't it?" he gave a chuckle and shook his head. "Well she knows, took it.. interestingly enough. I'm sure we'll get the full dose of it once she awakens. so.. in the mean time" he brought his crisp blue eyes to his Dear Doctor and moved in close, leaning in to press his lips to the shorter man's in a light kiss "how about we catch up? I know you probably have a lot of frustrations bouncing around in that head of yours" he gave the Doctor a light tap on his temple. before heading to the control panel of the TARDIS "How about a glass of some nice ginger beer, eh? Barcelona brews the best, yeah?" he began to put in the coordinates into the TARDIS computer.

The Doctor blinked in shock when Clara fainted. He knew it was a lot for her to take in really. He hadn’t expected her to faint though.
He couldn’t help but be slightly amused though. He was looking around. He was thinking while Koschei went and put Clara in a bed.
“I suppose she is kind of like that,’ The Doctor just laughed, he knew Clara would want to talk more about this later.
He figured it was going to take her time to be able to fully take it all in. Though he hoped that she was going to be accepting of it.

He was glad to be back with Koshcei , he had been quite lost and sad without him. There was times when he was alone that he couldn’t push it aside and would be crying in his bed. He thought back to those times and knew his companions had heard him sometimes and wondered of he was ok. He hadn’t really
“Ah that’s good you like the new look, I am sure I am not going to change it for awhile.” He seemed to be quite impressed with the way his TARDIS looked, He had a feeling his past self wouldn’t like it all that much.

“Ah yeah girls tend to faint a lot from shock I suppose.” The Doctor said. He knew that he wouldn’t have fainted been told something like that. He knew humans were more fragile to shock than what he was anyways.
He though looked at him “She’ll be ok, she’ll probably want more answers when she wakes up though.”

He remembered back to when The Master and him had got ginger ale before he ended up been poisoned that time.
“Ah Yes It is the best, I remember when I was dragging you around that time trying to keep you out of trouble and we got ginger beer, and I remember you complaining about not getting to finish yours because I had to go off searching for trouble and I snapped saying you could have brought the bottle.” He laughed, He remembered it so clearly, and when they had visited their past selves they were only just not long out of those events. “Though then there was the sycorax poisoning me that day, you looked so undecided whether to kill them or help me, I know you wanted to defend me so badly even if you couldn’t admit it, But ugh was so sick then, I was lucky I had you.” He closed his eyes, they had a lot of memories good and bad from their past. He wasn’t sure why the mention of ginger beer made him want to talk it.

“You could be so nasty back then and the more you tried to care the more the drums seemed to you more, I know how worried you were even when you were trying to hide it, It showed in your eyes, I would have died without you helping me, I’m such an idiot sometimes as I did walk straight into an ambush I suppose.”
