"Okay, Angie and Artie are watching a movie upstairs in my room and Mr. Maitland won't be home until late. So we can just relax for a while." Clara says as she comes down the stairs.
"I know the perfect place." I say, hopping off the couch. I walk to her and place her delicate hand in mine.
"Where?" she asks, the excitement slowly building in her voice.
"Spoilers."
I lead her out of the house and into the TARDIS, then set the coordinates.
"Is it an alien planet?"
"I'm not going to tell you, Clara."
"Okay.. But it is another country in the future?" She asks giddily.
"Clara, I want to surprise you." I say calmly, trying not to let my excitement show.
She's going to be so happy when she sees where we're going!
"You're right, you're right. I'm sorry."
"Don't be. We're here!" I say as the TARDIS abruptly stops.
"I noticed" she laughs.
"Okay, c'mere." I say, and she does so.
I wrap my right hand over her eyes and use my other hand to snap the TARDIS doors open, then take her left hand in mine and guide her to the doorway from behind.
"Ready?" I ask lightly.
She nods her head and I release my hand from her eyes.
She opens her eyes slowly and exhales.
"It's so beautiful." She says.
"Only the best for my Clara."
She smiles and hugs me, then sits down on the step of the TARDIS. I do the same, not wanting to stand up any longer.
"Where are we?"
"We're flying- well, when I say flying I mean more like floating- through the Galaxia Amantium."
"What does it mean?"
"Galaxy of Lovers. It's Latin."
"That's beautiful." She says, gazing out into the galaxy.
"You're beautiful."
She giggles a bit, and gives me a small kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you."
"You see that star there?" I ask, pointing to a brightly shining star directly across from us.
"Mhmm."
"That's the Stella Decus, which roughly translates to the Star of Beauty. I have a replica of it in my galaxy room. In fact, that star shines the brightest. I always find myself looking at it."
"You said you go to that room when you miss me."
"I do. That star, Clara Oswald, reminds me of you."
"Why? Did we save that star from becoming a black hole that I don't remember?"
"No. It's the star of beauty."
She smiles greatly and blushes a bit.
"Oh, shut up, you" she says playfully.
I can tell that compliment made her feel really good, no matter how much she wants to hide it.
"It's a bit chilly. I'm going to go get us a blanket, okay?" I say.
"Hurry back." She says.
I get up to leave, but before I can, she sneaks a small kiss.
She giggles a bit and lets me go to get the blanket.
To be honest, I didn't want that kiss to ever end. But it had, and now I was on my way to retrieve a blanket from the wardrobe.
I found the softest, warmest blanket for the two of us to share and make my way back to Clara.
When I return, she is sitting upright, softly humming a song.
"Honey, I'm home." I joke, leaning against the frame of the door.
She smiles and giggles at me, then motions for me to sit down.
I return to my place of sitting right next to her and lean against the door frame once more. Clara leans up against me, her head resting on my chest and her hands wrapped around mine.
I bring the blanket up over us and we lie together, enjoying each other's company.
"What was song you were humming when I came back?" I ask her.
She moves her head to look at me and smiles.
"Okay by Backhouse Mike"
I've never heard it before.
"Will you sing it for me?"
"I'm not sure.." she says hesitantly.
"Why not?"
"I don't know." She says, bringing her head back down to look out at the stars.
"Please?" I ask as adorably as I can make myself sound.
"Alright.."
I've never heard Clara sing before, but I know she'll sound beautiful.
"There is no upper hand, I'm giving you mine
It doesn't have to end up wasting your time
There's things that I can say, but here in my way
I wanna let you know, that it's all okay."
(A/N: Am I the only one that really wants to hear Jenna sing? If you want to hear this song, go here without spaces: www. Youtube. com watch?v=EhAcfhVhe70 It's originally by Backhouse Mike but this is the version I was listening to when I wrote this.)
She looks up to me, seemingly waiting for a response, but I can't make the words come out of my mouth.
"Your voice is so beautiful."
She shyly smiles and thanks me.
We lie together for a while more and eventually, Clara falls asleep.
I carefully slip out from under her and carry her into the machine, placing her on the bed in my room.
I fiddle with controls on the center console after returning from my room and fly the TARDIS through the vortex and into the Maitlands' backyard.
Clara is still fast asleep in my bed when I return to her. Not wanting to wake her, I pick her up gently and carry her through the TARDIS and into the Maitlands' house.
George was lounging on the couch when I walked in.
"Shh.." I whisper, motioning to the sleeping woman in my arms.
He nodded and gestured to the stairs, indicating to bring her upstairs.
I carry her up the stairs ever-so gently and open her bedroom door.
Angie and Artie are lying on her floor, watching Ghostbusters.
My favorite movie!
"Hi. Clara's asleep, please be quiet.." I whisper to them.
"Okay." Artie whispers back.
I place Clara in her bed and pull the covers over her, then kiss her on the forehead.
"Goodnight, my princess."
I begin to walk out the door when Artie stops me.
"Doctor. Don't stay out in the TARDIS tonight. You can stay in my room."
"That won't be necessary, Artie." I whisper back to him.
"Please? I know this is your favorite movie. You can watch with us."
"Ah. Okay. But only for tonight, okay?"
"Alright. Come on!"
I settle in between Artie and Angie and watch the movie with them, mainly just to be with Clara for a while longer.
"Goodnight, guys."
