"Ah! Here we are," I exclaimed proudly. I quickly glanced at my watch and frowned slightly. "Ah," I said worriedly. "Okay. Here we are. A little after midnight. Twelve twenty-three to be exact. I think."

I nervously tapped my watch and held it up to my ear. Clara giggled and walked over to take my arm.

"That's okay, Doctor," Clara assured me. "But I do insist that you walk me to the door."

I lowered my watch and beamed down at Clara. Clara and I walked out of the TARDIS, up the walk, and to the front door.

"Here you are," I said. "Safe and sound."

"Thanks, Doctor," Clara said.

Clara and I stood on the Maitland's front porch. I nervously looked anywhere but Clara. The silence stretched out awkwardly even by my standards.

"So," I exclaimed, clapping my hands together. "I'll be off. See you next Wednesday."

I spun around and ran back to the TARDIS as fast as I could without making it look like I was fleeing.

I ran up the ramp toward the console and quickly grabbed one of the scanners and pulled up a video of what was happening outside. I watched as Clara unlocked the front door and walked inside. I continued to watch until the Maitland's light went out. I scowled and slammed my fist into the console.

"I should have kissed her. I should have acted like I wasn't scared at all. I should have- I should have..." I exclaimed angrily.

The TARDIS beeped.

"You're right, old girl. You're absolutely right," I mumbled distractedly.

Suddenly, I spun around and dashed out of the TARDIS. I ran up the walk and to the front door. Before I could knock, Clara opened the front door. I stepped forward and cupped Clara's face with my hands. I slowly leaned forward and kissed her long and slow.

Disappointingly early, Clara's need for air brought us both back to Earth. We stood and caught our breath. I rested my forehead against Clara's.

"I thought you said next Wednesday," Clara whispered breathlessly.

"I couldn't wait," I whispered back before leaning in for another kiss.


So this is written in both the Doctor's and Clara's POV because if you hear the song it sort of requires it. But since it's so late, I haven't actually written Clara's chapter yet. I'm hoping to write it during school tomorrow, or, now looking at the clock, I should probably say today and have it up by tonight. Until then, I hope you have a good day.
