A/N: Hello again everyone, so it has been a while huh? Well, I am back, with huge thanks to Jesusisboss who made my day as well as probably my week… Since they were a guest user I couldn't thank them for their insanely kind review in a private message. So, Jesusisboss, if you are reading this thank you. Without your help and encouraging words I probably wouldn't be writing this! And as to everyone else, please enjoy reading!

The Doctor didn't know where the impulse to say yes to Clara's question about staying on Earth with her had come from. Maybe it was the way she had made him feel or the sheer look of pain on her face. But here he was, mentally kicking himself for actually agreeing. Sure he had lived up on a cloud after Amy and Rory died, but that was different, his TARDIS was there to comfort him and he did enjoy the solitude.

"Doctor?" Clara asked softly as they sat on the staircase in the console room of the TARDIS, the two had been rather quiet.

"Hm?" He replied as she laid her head on his shoulder, hearing both of his hearts beat.

"Did you genuinely mean it?" She asked curiously as she stared at the console and listened to the TARDIS hum in life.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because, for you Clara, I would jump off a bridge or travel to the farthest galaxy if it meant to be with you." He didn't know why, or how, but he really truly meant it, all the way to the bottom of his hearts.

"Thank you, Doctor."

The Doctor nodded as the duo became silent again, listening to the TARDIS hum mixed with the sounds of their steady and constant breathing.

~Xx~

A week had passed and the Doctor was missing his adventures. Sure, the Maitland's welcomed him with open hands, but he was going crazy with the boring human life without anything eventful to do. Clara was still having daily nightmares, which she refused to talk about saying that she 'wasn't ready yet'.

The Doctor snuck away to his TARDIS, which they had stuck behind a bunch of trees and bushes in the Maitland's backyard, one day while Clara helped Angie with her homework. He didn't know how long he had been in the TARDIS before he turned and saw Clara leaning against the door with her arms crossed at her chest. He honestly couldn't tell if she was angry that he snuck out or if she was admiring him from afar… Deciding to go with the latter option he smiled and simply told her, "She misses me."

"How do you know?" She asked in curiosity as she came down to where he was standing next to the console.

"Because of the way she welcomes me." He said simply. "It's rather… em… hard to explain." He muttered as he fiddled with the controls again.

"I understand." She said quietly before looking up at him rather sadly. "I feel rather selfish Doctor."

"It's fine…. Wait, what? Why?"

"I asked you to stay here, when you love to travel, when you love to travel and save the worlds. And here I am keeping you hostage."

"Clara Oswald. Don't you dare say that, I would give my life to spend every day with you." He looked her in the eyes to make sure she understood.

"My dreams, I've been dreaming about you."

"What?"

"You, I've been dreaming about you dying in my nightmares, being pulled apart by some creature out for blood, or the Weeping Angels getting to you."

The Doctor scowled as he ran up and sonic-ed Clara's face. "Weeping Angels? You haven't even met them yet."

"But I've seen them. " Clara protested. "Through the eyes of other lives… well my other lives."

The Doctor watched her as her body language continued to stay in a secretive form.

"I was there when Amy and Rory died, well… I know it happened, but instead of it being them, it was you. And River was there too…"

"River…"

"Yes Doctor, River was there. What happened to her? She doesn't talk to me anymore."

"The link was em, broken." He muttered a reply as he ran a hand through his floppy hair.

And once again, silence filled the air between them as they both processed the information that was shared between the two.

"Doctor?" Clara asked finally.

"Hm?"

"Can we go somewhere? Somewhere amazing but without Daleks and Cybermen, or any harmful creatures for that matter?"

The Doctor beamed, "I know just the place!" He replied giddily as he ran around the consoles smashing leavers and pulling and pushing buttons.

** So I am sorry, I know this is extremely short, I will write something a little longer soon. This was just kind of a filler because I am not exactly sure where this will go yet. As always, thank you for reading and leave a review!**
