I'm sorry for making you wait so long, but I have been concentrating on writing a paper for school. I don't own anything from Doctor Who, and I hope you enjoy the story!
Clara got dress and sat back down on her bed. They could still be friends, and everything was going to be okay. She smiled as she got up and started walking towards the console room. She was surprised when she found that The Doctor wasn't in it, but she kept searching. She eventually found him in the game room, and he was standing in front of the Pac-man machine. She smiled as she remembered their tournament here once.
He was smiling too, and she decided to make her presence known. "Hello, Doctor. Decide to come play some games?"
Clara wanted to make it seem like nothing had happened between them. The Doctor caught on and nodded. He gestured to the machine in front of him and asked, "Would you like to join me?"
She smirked and said, "Sure, but I'm going to cream you like I did last time." She stepped up beside him as the game turned on. She didn't stand as close as she had before, and they both noticed it. The Doctor couldn't feel her breath on his neck, and he didn't shiver. Clara never asked him what was wrong, and they didn't laugh about it. It wasn't like last time.
After The Doctor finished his turn she stepped up. She cracked her knuckles as she said, "Now, this is how you win a Pac-man tournament." She started, and The Doctor moved a little closer to her than she had been to him. She didn't seem bothered by it, so he sat his head on her shoulder. His breath was touching her soft neck, and she almost shivered. She felt weakened though, and she lost focus of the game. She soon died, and she glared at him.
He raised his hands up in defense and asked, "I won fair and square! No need to scold me."
She smirked and said, "Yes, because you had no idea that what you did was going to distract me." He looked genuinely confused, and Clara said, "You actually didn't know. Wow, you might be clever but you sure are oblivious." He still looked confused, and she just ignored it. "Rematch?"
He smiled and said, "Oh, you're on!" He stepped up and started playing. This time Clara stood very close to him, and she felt flutters in her stomach.
No! She thought to herself. This isn't supposed to distract you! It's supposed to distract him! So stop getting distracted! She couldn't help herself though. She couldn't help thinking of his perfect hair, and his smile as he played the game. No! Stop thinking those things! You know you can't! She frowned at herself, and he turned to ask what was wrong. She just shook her head, and he continued playing. She made sure to breathe on his neck, and she could practically feel him soften up a bit. He didn't look as confidant as before, and he didn't look concentrated. Clara smiled to herself as he died.
He sighed and said, "I suppose it won't be too hard for you to beat that score." She nodded and stepped up. He wasn't as close, and she wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. She wouldn't get distracted, but she also wouldn't be able to feel his warm breath on her neck. Or his chest gently rubbing against her back. Or his hand softly sitting on her shoulder. She suddenly wasn't paying attention to the game anymore, and she died. She somehow managed to get and even lower score than The Doctor, and she silently scolded herself.
He looked at her with a smirk on his face and said, "Someone's not on their game today! Another rematch?" She shook her head, already knowing that she would lose. He nodded and asked, "Okay, so what do you want to do? Do you want to go somewhere?"
Clara suddenly thought of a perfect place to go. It would keep her mind off of The Doctor, and she could figure out her feelings. She said, "I want to go home." She saw a flash of hurt cross his face. She shook her head and said, "No, not for good! Just for a week. I need to sort some things out." He nodded and they headed back to the console room. He set the destination for her home, and she turned to him before she left. "I'll see you next Wednesday, Doctor." He smiled at that and nodded.
He watched Clara leave, and he couldn't help looking at her perfect bum. He shook his head and frowned at himself. Then he set the time for a week from now.
Sorry for it being so short. As I said, I haven't been thinking about this story a lot recently. Please comment to tell me what you think!
