'Doctor, I just wanted to tell you something.' 'Yes, Clara?' Clara was in a golden bird print dress and black ballet flats, her hair becoming waves as it was down to dry. She sat in the chair they had been in the night before. 'About last night. I slept even better than I have the past month, and I think…I think it had to do with you. I woke up, and felt more awake than any other time before I met you.' The Doctor held her cheek, and kissed her, the feeling making Clara's heart flutter in her chest like a hummingbird's wings. 'I hope I can help you sleep better for a long time.' She smiled and nodded. 'I'd like that…'Only then did she blush. He was basically implying that they sleep together. IN THE SAME BED. The idea made Clara giggle, in a way she only did when she was embarrassed. Of course, she didn't mind, but just the thought made her wonder what would eventually happen. She was snapped out of her mind palace by the Doctor. 'Clara? Did you hear me? I said you can sleep in my room whenever you need to.' She jumped up and hugged him, kissing his cheek as she did. 'I'll take up that offer more than once, I can assure you, love.' She laughed. 'I've never called you love before… I like it.' They stood there, not doing anything, even a minute after the TARDIS landed at their given location, or as he called it, 'date place.' Clara smiled and grabbed her red bag, transferring everything inside into another Time Lord bag, which was a small golden clutch that she could hold in one hand. She set her mum's book down on the chair, and, arm in arm, they walked out of the TARDIS, leaving 101 places to see behind them for when they returned.
'What's binfrad bloo?' 'Oooh, they have it! I've been wanting to try it, Clara. You should get it.' 'Yes, but what is it?'' The Doctor set down his menu. They were at a restaurant on the planet Elianthis, where hundreds of species of alien spoke in English around them. (The Doctor had explained that they were all really speaking their native languages, and that none of them even knew what English was.) 'Binfrad bloo is a local delicacy, made of ocorn kernels, papyango fruit and blue lemon juice. Apparently, it speeds up metabolism and boosts levels of happiness, as well.' Clara nodded slowly. 'Fine. We can share it. Cos having a huge plate of caffeine might kill me.' He tweaked her nose in a friendly way. 'It's protein.' 'Protein injected fruit?' Clara smirked, taking a sip of her blue lemonade. 'Hardly sounds healthy to me.' He kissed her, and said quietly, 'It's healthy for relationships.' Clara started laughing, lemonade almost pouring from her mouth. She grabbed a napkin, and as it turned blue, she said, 'Don't talk about things like that while I'm eating.' He winked, and said, 'Maybe later, yeah?' She stared at him, and in her mind repeated, 'Did he just say shag me? God, tell me he said shag me.' She kept staring at him even as their binfrad bloo came, and they clinked spoons before they dug in.
'ClaraClaraClaraquesswhat?' 'What, love?' 'ILOVEYOU!' The Doctor was jumping in his seat, his floppy brown hair like a fish out of water. 'ClaraClaraClaraClara! Guess what?' WHAT!' 'I will always love you.' His voice became calm, not fast and energised, and his eyes, his big sad eyes, gave meaning. She smiled. 'I will, too. And, Doctor?' 'Yes, Clara?' She looked down at her hands. 'If you ever, ever leave me, or if you ever lie and leave me standing somewhere to wait for you, I will most likely never get over it.' He held her hand. 'I promise to never do that, Clara Oswald.'
Thanks for reading! Hope you liked it, and as always, comment and give me ideas! School is giving me writer's block, and I need as many as I can get. Thank you, Whoufflepuffs and Whovians! 3
