Pale, gentle light slips past the TARDIS bedroom curtains. The Doctor, all long limbs and warmth, is curled around you, you, his body a loose, protective cage. He breathes in the scent of your hair, his thumb tracing the map of old scars with a reverence that feels like a confession. His other arm locks around your waist, pulling you flush against the steady beat of his hearts—a silent, fervent prayer of thanks for this stolen fragment of peace.
