The Doctor's POV
The Doctor finished her song and enjoyed Graham's rendition of Counting Stars and Yaz's performance of Take on the World. By the time the guitar was put away, the moon was high in the sky and her sonic told her that it was close to midnight.
Ryan yawned like a lion, "I'm off to bed. Goodnight you three."
Graham was quick to follow, leaving just Yaz and the Doctor under the stars. The fire had gone out a while ago and that was fine by them – the stars and moon provided enough light.
"That song was beautiful, Doctor," Yaz said, causing the Doctor to feel embarrassed.
"It wasn't that great," she said modestly. She didn't often perform in front of others. It had been ages ago that she played the electric guitar in front of a crowd, while standing on a tank in the middle ages. It was a very long story...
"It was!"
The Doctor smiled, staring at the stars above. "Yours was pretty as well."
"Thanks."
Yaz's POV
The two of them sat in companionable silence, staring at the star-dappled sky. Occasionally, the Doctor would point out a constellation and explain its significance. Yaz loved to listen to the Doctor's beautiful voice and hung onto her every word.
Eventually, she felt herself nodding off, exhaustion pooling in her veins. The Doctor noticed and together they headed to the tent, not even bothering to change into pyjamas, just throwing off their shoes.
They pushed their mattresses together and the Doctor spread the quilt over both of them.
"Goodnight Doctor..." whispered Yaz, the Doctor's arm around her.
"Night Yaz."
