Advent Drabble 11 - For anonymous

[earlgreytea68]

Brem hadn’t brought a girl home since Kate.

The girls teased him for being a Time Lord about town, as they put it. But Rose met none of his girlfriends. Which didn’t really bother her. Brem’s relationships never lasted long.

She suspected that his string of ex-girlfriends would label him of commitment-phobic. The Doctor attributed it to Brem’s inherited wanderlust, the inability to be in one place for too long.

Rose knew the truth: Brem desperately longed to make a commitment. His wanderlust was a constant search for the woman who could still him. Like father, thought Rose, like son.

It *is* a bit sad, but I think it's mostly bittersweet. Because I don't think Brem is at all really unhappy. He has a great family and he knows that he's loved. I think sometimes he's a bit lonely, but I also think he'd rather be a bit lonely than sometimes than have a person around who isn't compatible with him, you know? Brem just knows what he wants. Or hopes that he does, at least.
