Occasionally, Chase loathed the island. Usually when he found himself elsewhere, he really hated it. He supposed that it wasn't so bad this time around. He was in his own body, Nate was safe, and only the Doctor was being inhabited by someone else, who was actually pretty nice. He definitely recalled a couple times too many in which that wasn't the case.

Still, it meant that there was a lot of madness to deal with and a lot of after-effect that spilled in later and he didn't exactly love that. While the woman in the Doctor's body was taking care of Nate, Chase was taking a walk to try and clear his head. Plus, at some point, he really did want to actually find the Doctor. Losing one's spouse wasn't exactly carved in the manual of good marriages.

"Maybe a little offputting," he conceded, not wanting to lie about it. "I mean, I wouldn't really want to spend a couple days with you like this? I could probably do a couple hours. That's just very much not my type," he said, clearing his throat and trying to make that sound like it was the truth, like he didn't sometimes like men like that.

"Dude, I don't even want to spend a couple days with me like this." The Doctor gave Chase a bit of a look. "Hell, I'd drink myself under the table if I didn't think this guy would come and kick my ass when he wakes up with a hangover..."

He paused, lifting a brow. "You DO like assholes sometimes, though."

"Only sometimes," he protested, and doing a half-assed job of it considering that a couple of his previous boyfriends had definitely not been saints of any nature, but he had still loved them. "And you're not an asshole?" he floated the notion.

"I never said I wasn't, yo." The Doctor looked smug and crossed his arms, even though one of his hands wasn't real and that was just so weird, man. "So don't be all saying you don't like assholes!"

Chase was still having that strange out-of-body experience in which he was vaguely scarred by all of this. He just eyed the Doctor warily and gave a hasty "...oookay," while knowing that yes, he might like assholes, but it wasn't like they were like that all the time.

"What?" asked the Doctor. "You're giving me that look, I fucking hate it when you give me that look, it's like you're gonna have me committed."

The sentence had started in his head as You know, I hate that look like you're going to section me. The problem was that he barely noticed the difference.

"Well, at this point in time, it's less committed and more going to try and find someone who knows this guy and speaks his language," Chase deadpanned, but there was a slightly worried countenance to his face. "You'll be normal eventually, no cause for committing."

"You even give me that look when I'm fucking normal," the Doctor said, or maybe it was more like 'whined'. He caught himself at it and looked slightly stunned. "Oh god, what the fuck is wrong with me?"

"You're young, not yourself, and giving in to the personality," Chase appraised, sounding a lot more professional than he might have if this were four years ago when it was happening for the first time. "But it will pass. It always does."

"It better. I'm sick of this shit." The Doctor wasn't sure how exactly he was supposed to fight this personality, man. He took a sip from the juice he'd brought with him, and pondered Chase from over the cup.

[dr_robchase]

"After being here nearly five years, trust me, I'm sick of it too," he promised, reaching out awkwardly and not knowing what to do exactly, so instead of giving the Doctor's cheek a light touch, he balled up his fist and offered a friendly punch to the arm.

Oh, god, he was crap at this.
