il dottore's room

Summary:

A moment in time, in Dottore's... dorm.

(A side story to the knife twists at the thought that i should fall short of the mark)

Notes:

Decided to try my hand at a True Drabble (i.e. an exactly 100 word fanfic), for this shiny new drabble challenge collection 😁 Hope you enjoy.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

It's after midnight. Several racks of colorful vials quiver as footsteps pound up the stairs that run just above the slanting ceiling of Dottore's dorm room. Well… alright, it's a broom closet, technically, but no one remembers it's there, so he doesn't have to pay any of those exorbitant housing fees.

Dottore looks up, frowns, and then shrugs. Some people were always in a rush, for whatever reason. Nothing to be done. He turns back to his experiment and puts it out of his mind.

Although… since he's distracted anyway… wasn't he supposed to be somewhere right about now…?

…Hrm.

Notes:

And if you're curious who's running up the stairs and what appointment Dottore is forgetting about, and you're interested in some E-rated Childe/Scaramouche hijinks, check out this fic and the one that inspired it.
