He notices. Of course he notices.

You’re trying to hide it, the way your breath hitches when you think he’s not looking, the way your fingers cling to the TARDIS console like it’s the only thing holding you upright. But the Doctor sees things. The flush of fever under your skin, the tremor in your laugh, the way the TARDIS lights dim around you in quiet alarm.

Well. He’s terrified, of course. But terror isn’t terribly useful, is it? So instead, he fusses. He flutters. He presses a cool hand to your forehead and makes a sound halfway between a gasp and a scold, as if you’ve personally offended the laws of thermodynamics by daring to fall ill.

Because you’re burning up, and Time Lords know better than anyone how fragile human lives are.

"Glowing fruit, wasn’t it? You ate it, didn’t you?" he accuses, voice laced with dramatic despair. "Even after I said- ‘Oh, but Doctor, it’s pretty!’- as if that’s ever been a reliable metric for anything in the universe-"

He’s already halfway to sweeping you into his arms, coat flaring like a banner of protest. There’s a time for poetry, for whispered comforts and Gallifreyan lullabies but first, there will be tea. Terrible, medicinal tea. And blankets. And possibly a rant about the evolutionary irresponsibility of "delicious, deadly space berries."

(You really should’ve listened.)
