The Doctor, who had tried to approach with a softness and understanding, feels the Master’s intensity and insistence that he is still hiding, still running after all this time. A soft growl of frustration rumbles in his chest and his grip tightens on the Master’s upper arms.

He is not gentle, and a fire burns in his eyes, dangerous and white hot. If he wants to be greedy, if he wants every ounce of the Doctor, then so be it.

“Why must I ALWAYS be hiding from you? Why must I be running? When I’m right here and telling you that together, we are unique and magnificent and beautiful!”

The Doctor’s hands came up to the Master’s cheeks and held him close, forehead pressed hard against his best friends. They slip up into his salt and pepper hair and pull on those strands, tugging his head back as he places violent, hungry kisses to his jaw.

“The only thing I am ashamed of is MYSELF! The only thing that embarrases me is the fact that I failed you so horribly for so long! Losing you was the biggest regret of all my lives! I’d die a thousand times in the most horrible ways imagined if only I could go back and keep you by my side throughout it all. Koschei– MY Koschei. I am not running from you, I’m running TO you.”

He pulled back, chest heaving, his expression a mask of guilt and intense pain.

“Please, just see that. See that this is all I want. That I’m TRYING. For you, for us…”

     “You’re the only one who can answer THAT question, TOO!” the Master
       roars.

Exasperation turns swiftly to fury as the Doctor seizes him bodily, and both aggravates and satisfies his yearning.  There it is, that tornado of dangerous, beautiful passion, there it is:  his groin hardens and throbs because this is the god at whose altar he worships, this is HIS Doctor, ALL sides of him, completely succumbing to his possession.   This is the god, and yet, in the SAME BREATH, his sweet, ordinary, dreaming boy, whom he would protect with his BARE TEETH.  

The pain of that grasp on his arms only arouses him further; he gasps at the kisses, the bites, that mark his skin, tears spilling from flushed cheeks, catches the Doctor’s mouth hard and suckles on it until there are marks.  

He tackles him and throws his weight on top of him, forces his arms apart and kisses him harder, watering the Doctor’s face with the moisture from his eyes. 

       “BUT I AM NOT ASHAMED OF YOU.  You are, to ME, the
        most beautiful fucked up thing that was ever loomed!  You
        don’t NEED to refine yourself into something more perfect, you
        only need STAY.  Not only in body, but in mind, in hearts. Just
        LOOK AT ME, look at me, I am WANTON with love of you!  This 
        ‘trying’: it need only be DAILY, CONSISTENT PRESENCEYou 
         are my perfect, wounded boy.  I would die, I would kill, and
        I would most certainly live, for the boy who is already right
        here beside me.”

He’s reading Antoine de Saint-Exupery, with what ostensibly appears to be detached curiosity.  But when he reads the passage aloud, his voice is trembling.

          “ ‘You become responsible forever for what you have tamed.’ ” 

Oh, Doctor … 

            “ ‘To me, you will be unique in all the world.’ “

The Doctor glances over at the Master with understanding and unexplained sadness in his gaze. 

             “Have we tamed each other, Koschei?”

         “Every act great and small that I perform is connected to you.  I have
          never regretted this.  I would like to think that yes, we have.
          But you are the one who has to answer
          that question.  Did you make a mistake?  Was I a mistake? Is that
          why you left, once it was done … . once I decided you were my
          all?  I don’t have companions to go to, Doctor. I don’t have groupies,
          friends and lovers, to divert me from my path.

                              I just have you. And
                            I only want you. Every
                                   you, always.”  

“The only mistake I ever made was
                leaving you behind in the first place.”

He reaches out and pulls the book out of the Master’s hands, instead taking them into his own.

“Please believe that. If I could go back… If I could do it over again, that is the only thing I would change. But in the end, every act, every decision has led us here, and HERE is where I want to be. You were and are the greatest love I have ever had. You are my everything, and as far as I am concerned, you always will be.” 

“We have tamed each other, hearts. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

        “I can TELL when you’re holding back.” 

He’s a monster, oh, he really is. So greedy, greedy for every inch and every ounce of the Doctor, every memory, every feeling, pleasant and awful, every moment of attention and energy, because that is what he has offered in reverse.  

        “There are things you won’t tell me about the past. Is it because you
          think I’ll hate you?  That I’ll be disappointed? I KNOW about Torvic! 
          We have ALREADY triumphed over that highest of hurdles!  What
          won’t you say, my love?  Are you … are you ashamed? Embarrassed?
          There is literally nothing you could do or say to LOSE me … except
          this infernal running.”
