A/N hello people who are reading this. This is something I came up with a few weeks ago I can't believe how long it took me to finish it. Anyway enjoy.
A misunderstanding
The TARDIS hummed with life and joy. Clara was having a lap or two in the swimming pool while the Doctor was trying to take a nap in his and his wife's bedroom. So many things happen in that one room. He used to be able to fall asleep easily but that was before he fell in love River now he is haunted by her death and blaming himself for it.
He tried to go to sleep for another 2 hours but gave up. He just wanted to see River again, you know what he usually does sweep her off her feet and take her out on a date, she was the most beautiful person he had ever seen even when he was weary of her he secretly loved her. He got up in just his PJ pants without his shirt. He trotted back to the console room where Clara was, sitting on the stairs to the bottom of the console, drying her hair from her laps. When she saw him, she smiled. Little did the Doctor know she had a little crush on him even if she was just a little human to him.
"Hey Clara, can I talk to you about something?" He asked if you wanted to impress a woman might as well ask someone of the same gender.
"Sure," She beckoned him to join her. He sat next to her reluctantly and sighed as soon as he sat. "So what did you want to talk about?" She asked him.
He sighed once more and rested his elbows on his knees. "Well," He started might as well finish it "There is this woman I like and she likes me a lot and I want to impress her but I just don't know how." She was taken back he did like her the way she liked him but she just went along with his little game.
"Well, I suppose I would show her something amazing, like you do with everyone you meet." She stated he nodded but that didn't help him at all.
"But what if she has seen nearly everything, even without me, she is the most amazing person I've ever met and yet she can manage without me with her." He said to her. Clara was now heartbroken he really wasn't talking about her. Should she sabotage their relationship or would she make it stronger? In other words, would she make herself happy or make him happy?
"Well," she said trying to fight off the tears coming upon her eyes "What's she like?" she asked wondering she should go with what she wants to do. Was this woman right for him or was he forced upon it?
"What isn't she like? She's beautiful, funny, loving, and protective, fearless, kind and flirty" he smiled thinking of all the wonderful things his wife is. "Oh and can fly the TARDIS better than me also she loves using a gun to get us out of a situation" Clara was confused he hated guns why would he like someone who uses a gun. Maybe he was forced upon this relationship and so had to end it.
"Well she is adventurous maybe do something she wouldn't expect like take her to dinner and a movie." She told him knowing for certain that would ruin his relationship with this woman
"but where ever I go with her we always end up in trouble what if there is more trouble" He asked
"Well find out where you want to go then research if there is going to be any trouble there on that day, then let her backseat drive so you can get there properly" She said he knew she was right. He nodded and went deep within the TARDIS leaving Clara heartbroken.
Then he came back in unexpectedly and ran up to Clara and hugged her holding her close. Clara felt much better. "Thank you Clara, you are the best friend a person could have" Then he walked back getting ready for his date with River. Hoping this would help him feel closure unlike Clara.
