Your Broken Little Hearts

by xKyawla

You looked up at him, a lost child silently asking for the way home, to safety and peace. His eyes softened and he smiled sadly as he slowly held out his hand towards you. You reached out and he hauled you up, gripping your hands in his as he started swaying to the TARDIS' newly found melody.

Beyond all the adventure and joy and beauty of your travels with the Doctor, there's always something else lingering in his eyes. You only realise what it is when something happens and a young child cannot be saved.

One-shot, written with Eleven in mind. However, can (hopefully?) be read for any of the male doctors.
