A/N: so this is a story inspired from the previous lunar eclipse which took place in July.
The Doctor tapped his fingertips on the cold surface of the console.
Oh Clara Clara Clara Clara...
Dear Clara... Where should I take you?
The TARDIS hummed.
"You know I've already taken her there!" The Doctor shouted to the console column before delving back into deep thought.
She hummed again.
"Too dangerous." The time lord breathed. After some time, the time machine shrilled. The Doctor nodded. "Guess it's good." His eyes shot wide open and a wide smile formed on his face. "Yes yes yes! It's perfect!" The time lord around the console, flipping all kinds of levers before pulling the last.
The TARDIS landed in Clara's apartment, exactly in the bedroom. The Doctor knew she was there, he could feel it. And he couldn't wait to drag her into another adventure.
"Clara!" He said as the time lord triumphantly stepped outside his phone box. "Where do you want to go?" the Doctor continued enthusiastically. Clara was sitting beside her window wrapped around in her soft blanket thoughtful, gazing to the outside. The Gallifreyan's smile melted a bit, as he soon noticed that his companion wasn't really looking forward to have fun, still clinging on to the hope to take his best friend to a planet inhabited by friendly people having 4 heads, 16 eyes and 5 sets of pointed teeth. He could show her their endemic plants, he could show her-
"I don't really want to go anywhere today, Doctor." Said Clara with a sad mood, sitting on her bed, looking out towards the large moon. The last time she had looked so eagerly at the moon, even after the "moon-is-an-egg" incident was when she had let go of the Doctor after Danny's death. Every night she would look out, hoping the Doctor had gone back to Gallifrey, became a king, met with old friends and family (maybe he had a wife... And children...) and just being happy that the planet he had thought he had burnt so long ago had come back. She was happy he'd found his home (or so she thought), but she felt all alone when the companion needed him the most. At least that's passed...
The Doctor's enthusiasm changed into worry; his eyebrows were almost going to drop off. "What's wrong, Clara?" He said as the time lord slowly moved towards Clara, before sitting near her on the bed. He wanted to relieve her from this sadness; to take her hand in his and tell her that everything was going to be OK. "Nothing it's just that..." A few moments of silence felt like hours to the Doctor. Had he done something wrong? Then she soon continued, looking at the carpet beneath her, "We go so many different places, which I am very proud to visit; don't get me wrong. But today there'll be a lunar eclipse; the longest in a century, they said... Which will hopefully be visible from London. And I just want to see that, today." Said Clara still looking at the floor. The Doctor immediately felt embarrassed. "Um... Sorry for interrupting you, Clara." Mumbled the Doctor as his feet trailed back to the TARDIS. "I had no idea-" But he was soon stopped by his companion. "No, Doctor. You got it all wrong." She looked at the time lord, who had his face slightly blushed, which seemed strange for such an angry Scottish time lord. "I want to see it... with you..." The Doctor's face lightened up just a little. He almost couldn't believe it... Actually. The time lord could see a slight spell in her limpid eyes, her large orbs... So dazzling. But that enchantment did not last for long, as the companion blinked rapidly before looking towards the soft fitted carpet. "Only if you want to... I mean." Clara continued, slightly embarrassed herself. His lips curled into a small yet gentle smile. "Of course I would love to, Clara." The companion's face also lightened up. "Come on, then." He said, with a bright smile as the Doctor held out his hand. She smiled a cheeky grin. "Where are we going?" She asked as Clara sat up and placed her soft hand in his rough palm. "Anywhere you want." He smiled wide. "In my pyjamas?" Clara asked. The Doctor shrugged his shoulders. "As long as you feel comfy, I don't mind." Clara giggled before they both ran into the TARDIS, Clara still holding on to her soft blanket. The TARDIS groaned as they took off.
