Like fire! Hellfire! [this fire in my skin]

[the Master skids to a halt when he appears on the Astral Plane, having apparently come in running. He immediately straightens out his clothing before addressing the Plane]

Right, so! Pompeii: very lacking in Super Soaker outlets. Anyone have a water gun handy?

But you know.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Precisely. Still, nothing has happened. Knowledge is only power when it is used properly.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

You want something to happen?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

...why, exactly, do I bother?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

The payoff is worth it?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely certain about that.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[pauses]

It's not as easy as you make it sound.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

It's not as difficult as you make it.

[flops back down onto his back]

We'll take a rest, now that we're done with the Pyroviles. Try to get more information out of Doctor Jones.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Mm, I'll talk to Martha.

[and after a beat, he reaches over and rests his hand on the Master's arm]

Right, so, what should we do now?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[a pause, and then he bursts out laughing]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[groans and rolls on his side to face away from the Master] Oh sod off.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Awww, someone feeling hurt? Embarrassed? I'm so sorry.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[snorts] I really doubt that.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

That's not how you do it, Doctor.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[rolls back over] Hm?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[he slips easily into sitting position, then to kneeling over the Doctor, a leg on either side. His fingers curl around the Doctor's neck and he rests his forehead against the Doctor's]

This is how it's done, Doctor.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[he continues to look at the Master and carefully rests his hand on the Master's cheek]

Never been my strong suit.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

I know.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[laughs softly] Of course you do.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[runs his thumb down the centre of the Doctor's neck, to the base of his collar bone]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[curls his fingers over the Master's cheek, tracing his jaw in a curious, slow way]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[slips his finger around and rubs the nap of his neck slowly]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[cranes his neck with a small noise and lets his hand trace down the Master's neck]

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

[suddenly grabs the Doctor's wrists and pins them above his head, pressing down into a rought kiss]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[gives a surprised gasp against the Master's mouth but kisses him back hard]
