Sorry for the wait, but here's another chapter! I still don't own anything from Doctor Who, and I hope you enjoy!
Clara smiled at The Doctor's comment about him being weird, and then pulled him back to her again. He flailed his arms around, as usual, and then finally settled to put them on her cheeks. Thoughts of River flowed into his head again. He pulled back and she asked, "What's wrong?"
He looked at her and said, "Nothing." Then he quickly turned away and sat down in his silver swing. He couldn't betray River like this. She was Amy and Rory's daughter after all… but they were gone now. But, The Doctor felt strong feelings for Clara… very strong feelings. Maybe, just maybe, they were meant to be together. Technically, at this moment in time, River is dead. River is long gone, and so she wouldn't be bothered about this. She might even be happy for him! Maybe she would be glad that he has found someone new. A small smile crept onto his sad face.
Clara had been watching him for a while now, and she didn't like the sadness and depression that was feeling his face. He would get like this from time to time, and this time she was going to help him through it. She didn't like this version of The Doctor, and she was going to get rid of it for good.
She carefully walked up to him and asked, "What are you thinking about?" Her voice was soft and caring. The Doctor looked up at her, still smiling. He knew that she was worrying about him, and he didn't want her to worry.
He shook his head and said, "Nothing."
She crossed her arms and asked, "No, you're thinking about something. If you weren't you wouldn't have that sad look on your face. Just tell me what it is."
He looked at her for a few seconds, and then finally he sighed and said, "I don't really want to talk about it, Clara." He loved hearing her name. He smiled wider, and she took his hand. He looked at her hand in his, and then back at her.
She had a very serious look as she said, "Doctor, please tell me. I want to help you."
He sighed again and ran his free hand through his hair. Then he let go of Clara's hand and put his face in his hands. After a few seconds of contemplating whether or not to tell her, he put his hands down and looked at her intently. "I was remembering."
She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Remembering what?" Her voice was still soft and… perfect. He smiled again, but it quickly disappeared as he thought about what to say.
"I was remembering my friends, the ones I've lost, and how much I miss them. But at the same time I don't." She looked down at him, confused. He continued, "I'm sad that they're gone, but I'm also happy about it at the same time. They were the best friends anyone could have, and they trusted me to keep them safe. But I… I failed them." He let a single tear drop. He didn't want to cry in front of Clara, but it had already fallen.
She bent down close to him and wiped it away. Her face was close to his now and she asked, "How?"
He looked into her beautiful eyes, and then he took in a deep breath. "They were taken by the weeping angels." She looked confused and he continued, "They are living statues that only move when you aren't looking at them. They take on the image of an angel, and then when you aren't looking they take you. I wasn't able to protect them, Clara. What if I'm not able to protect you?" He decided not to add on, 'Like all of the other times.' Because he knew that would only result in more questions.
She put her forehead against his and said in a quiet voice, "Doctor, don't ever doubt yourself. These people must have been close to you, and I believe they trusted you almost as much as I do. But you couldn't do anything to save them, and that's not your fault. Now, why do you say that you're happy that they're gone?"
He smiled at her and said, "Because if I hadn't lost them, then I probably would never have met you." He saw the sparkle in her eye as he said that. Suddenly all of the sadness was replaced with passion. He cupped her face in his hands and said, "Clara, you are the most amazing person I have ever known. You're funny… so funny, pretty, and I'm in love with you." He hadn't meant to say that much, so he waited to see her reaction.
After processing what he had just said she slowly smiled. She felt her heart warm, and she knew immediately that she loved him back. She kissed him. It was passionate, soft, and full of love. When she pulled away she said, "I love you too, you mad man with a box!" He smiled and pulled her to him again. They deepened the kiss, and then Clara started pulling off his jacket.
She softly nibbled on his bottom lip, and then he realized what she was initiating. He stood up so she wouldn't have to be bending down, and then started pulling at her coat. The TARDIS gave off a loud noise, and they both looked up again to see what was wrong. No one had touched any buttons, and then The Doctor realized what was going on.
He smirked and said, "Oh, stop being jealous you rotter!" When he saw the look on Clara's face he said, "Don't worry about her. She just has the green monster walking about in her." She smiled back and continued the snogging. She was certainly okay with this being a snog box. She felt warm fuzzes in her stomach as their tongues battled, and then they started walking towards the hallway, still lip- locked.
When they reached the doorway to The Doctor's room he pulled her in and swiftly shut the door behind him. He pulled away again, realizing she probably needed to breathe, and then looked around his room. He realized that they were now only wearing their undergarments, and his room was messy. He quickly knocked some books off of his bed and gestured for her to lie on it.
She smiled at his nervousness and asked, "This surely isn't your first time, is it Doctor?"
He blushed, frowned and said, "Of course not! Is it yours?"
She shook her head and said, "Nope. I hope that doesn't make the green monster walk about in you!" She pulled him to her as he frowned, and then resumed the snogging.
Later, they were both lying down close to each other. The blanket was wrapped around their now naked bodies, and The Doctor was breathing heavily. Clara was trying to catch her breath after the magic that had just occurred. She laid her head on his chest, and she could feel his two hearts beating rapidly. She smiled and asked, "Did you enjoy it, Doctor?"
He nodded before realizing the she wasn't looking at him. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Definitely! That was purely… perfect." He realized that he found a lot of things about Clara to be perfect. Her hair, her smile, her voice, her clothes, her laugh, her body... He looked down at her and asked, "Did you enjoy it?"
She heard a little bit of fear in his voice, as if he thought she didn't. Of course she enjoyed it! He was some kind of miracle worker, because she felt like that was the best time she had ever had in her life! She smiled up at him and said, "I don't think that I could have enjoyed it more!" He smiled and relaxed.
She giggled at how nervous he had gotten. He looked at her again and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
She smirked at him and said, "Because you're so cute." He blushed and she kissed his cheek. Even after what they had just done he still blushed even harder to that. She raised an eyebrow in confusion and asked, "You still blush when I kiss you? After what we just did? Wow, you must have been purple the whole way through!"
He frowned at her and said, "I was not! For some reason I felt like what we just did was natural. There was no need to blush."
She smirked and asked, "So it's natural for us to ravish each other in bed, but it's not natural for me to kiss you on the cheek?"
He shook his head and said, "No, that's not what I… it's just that… shut up!" He reached to straighten his bow tie, and then remembered that he wasn't wearing it. She giggled as he lifted his hand to his neck, and then slowly moved them away with a frown on his face. He asked, "Why are you laughing again?"
She smiled and said, "I'm laughing at how obsessed you are with bow ties."
He smirked and said, "Bow ties are cool!"
She smirked back and said, "Yes, bow ties are very cool." He smiled at someone finally agreeing with him. Then he gave her a quick kiss before they slowly drifted off to sleep.
I hope you enjoyed, and please review to tell me what you think!
