The feeling

The doctor stood there.

He was waiting for someone to come.

But this weren't footsteps..

The doctor slowly made his way to the direction the sounds were coming from.

He already saw from the far what the sounds were.

Of course...
something went wrong...

He saw the pitch black mud in the ground.
And a body that just fell out of it.

The doctor acted calm as always.

This wasn't his problem in the first place.
He had to find the mask.

He again made his way through the tunnels.

Suddenly he heard a voice.

Someone was mumbling..

He stayed quiet and listened.

The voice came closer and closer.

Til he could understand the words.

"Where is he.."
"Where could he be.."
"What if i will not be able to find him..."
"What if my feelings-"

The voice stopped as the doctor stepped in front of the figure.

Of course..
It was the mask.
Who else.

The doctor was relieved.
So as the mask was.

"Were you trying to play hide and seek?" The doctor asked sarcastically.

"Rude..!" The mask mumbled.

"I couldn't find the way back.."

The doctor glanced him in the eyes calmly.

"I was worried."

The mask turned completely red.

"I.. also was.."
"I thought I couldn't find you for a moment.."
the mask chuckled a little.

The doctor smiled.

"Well. I found a place to rest. But I think we can completely forget that. Because the old man is of course there."

"The old man?" The mask asked confused, not trying to laugh.

"The black figure. That can go wherever it wants to go." The doctor said.
"Seems like I failed to contain him.."

The mask was a little worried.
"But.. will he find us? Will he do something with us?"

The doctor find it adorable.
How worried he could be.

"Well.. i will not promise anything. He could do  anything. So actually.., yes.. I think so."

"Well doc.., are we going to try it again? To contain him?" The mask asked.

"I'm not sure.., i don't really know what we did wrong.." the doctor answered.

"Well. Somehow we can get rid of him. But how?" The mask glanced at him.

The doctor glanced back.

"I think he has no big reason to hurt us. He wouldn't just get us in his dimension. He would manipulate us to do it.., so I think the best thing we can do about him.., is to not be near him."

The mask nodded.

"I guess we have to find a new place. But please not here.."

The doctor chuckled.
"Of course.."

Both walked around for a little.

"Doc?" The mask asked suddenly.

"Yes?" The doctor glanced down at him.

"..Did you ever had a feeling of.., -well.. -I can only explain it. Did you ever had a weird feeling around a person?.. But.. the feeling is kind of..- it makes you happy.. to be around that person.." the mask nervously tried to get more out of him.

"Well.., i guess I could call this a friend.., but.. I think you mean.. love..", the doctor mumbled.

"Yes! Love! This was the word.." the mask kind of cheered.

The doctor smiled.

"Yes I think I had this feeling before.."

The mask faced the doctor.

"I had this feeling too.."

"But I couldn't tell the person.."

"I was scared to loose this person..."

"Well..., times change. Maybe you will find the person that makes you happy. You don't have to tell the person. You always have to be ready.
It's always the best moment to be ready. "
The doctor said.

The mask was kind of relieved.

"Thank you, doc."

"It's no big deal.." the doctor replied calmly.

Both looked forward again.

"When am I ready...?" The mask thought to himself.
