(I drew a thing :D)

"Really, Doctor? A ball? Don't you think that's a bit cliché?" You asked him, trying not to smile. He had one of his hands gently holding your arm, just barely brushing the top of your long glove. You kept your hands together in front of you like the Doctor had told, as apparently was polite in 1920.
"What? You said you wanted to do something adorable, well, here you go!" He declared, taking off his top hat.
"A ball isn't adorable, it's fancy," You sighed.
"Well you look adorable, so I win. Now, do you remember how to dance?"
"Kind of, can we hit the buffet first?" You asked as he jokingly put his hat on you, before giving you a goofy grin. You smiled at him, not surprised in the slightest at his childish humor.
"No! We're at a ball," He started. "Balls are for dancing!"
"But- but- but-, foooooooood!" You groaned. He stared at you.
"Alright, off you pop, but you owe me a dance!"
"Yay! Thank you, Magic Man," You smiled, giving him a kiss on the cheek. "I'm keeping the hat." You pulled away from him and started walking backwards toward the buffet.
"What? Why?" He smirked.
"Because screw gender roles, that's why!" You yelled to him, reaching the table. You spun around and grabbed one of those tiny sandwiches, giggling at the fact you found a piece of food adorable.
"Something funny?" Asked a silky voice. You turned and saw a young man next to you.
"Oh! Sorry, I was laughing at how cute this sandwich looks. Don't mind me, I'm strange."
"And so you are." He stood uncomfortably close to you so he could grab one of the sandwiches himself. He was a handsome man, you decided. Young, pretty face. Kind of looked exactly like Tom Hiddleston with his blond/ginger hair. He took a bite of the sandwich and set it back down. You immediately thought 'cooties', and smacked yourself. He stared at you.
"Care to dance?" He asked. You choked on your sandwich.
"I'm sorry?"
"Would you like to dance?" He repeated. You blinked at him.
"I'm uh, saving a dance for my friend."
"It won't take long, I swear." He took your hand and walked you both to the 1920's dance floor before you could protest. You were instantly uncomfortable, no matter how handsome he was. He had his hands on your hips, instead of the proper place to put them, and you swore your noses were almost touching,
"I don't think-"
"Relax Madam, I won't bite."
One dance, and he'd go away. Hopefully. "You're beautiful."
"Thanks..." You glanced around for the Doctor. Aaaand of course, he was gone.
When you looked back towards the man, he was now staring at your ear, as if he were about to lick the side of your face.
"What's your name?" He asked. You panicked.
"Uhh Sparky," You hit yourself again. The Doctor's thought process was wearing off on you. He smiled.
"I'm sure. It's wonderful to meet you," He paused to whisper in your ear. "...Sparky."
You shivered as he kissed your cheek.
"Why don't you come home with me, Puppy?"
"OKAY-" You yelled, pushing him away. "That was fun, but I think those sandwiches miss me."
You went to walk away.
"Wait, Madam! A goodnight kiss?"
"No thanks, I'm great, though."
"Then a pity kiss!" You stared at him. You decided it was better to give him a peck by choice than have him rape you or something. You groaned.
"Fine," You started. "A kiss on the cheek, that's all." You turned toward him as he took your hands in his.
Just as he about to kiss your cheek, he must've made a last minute executive decision because, big surprise, he went for the mouth.
You yelled into the kiss, trying to squirm away. His arms around your abdomen forced you still. Your anger slowly turned to fear the longer he held you tightly against his chest. Why wasn't anyone helping? Where was the Doctor?
You wiggled out of his grasp and shoved him away.
"Jackass!" You yelled. People around you stopped dancing to stare. You hadn't even noticed the Doctor run up behind you until he took your hand.
"Come on Ms. Emotional, let's go," He whispered in your ear, much calmer than you.
"But he-"
"I know, I came running as soon as I saw," He explained, eyeing the man. "Let's get back to the TARDIS."
You huffed. "If I had a drink right now, it'd already be in your hair!" You yelled to the man, before letting the Doctor walk you out.

You slammed the TARDIS door shut behind you then whispered an apology and gave a handle a stroke. You spun to face the Doctor, fuming again.
"I should've known! I was being stupid! That whole thing was stupid! Ugh!"
He raised his eyebrows, leaning back against the console.
"Oh god, I think his tongue was in my mouth!" You growled, wiping at your lips.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"No! I've got creep germs!" You yelled. You yanked off your headband and tossed it on the railing. You tried to pull out your hairdo next, but couldn't in your frustration. Seeing this, the Doctor slid over to help you. He gently pulled out the hidden bun in the back that made your hair look much shorter, to fit in with the times. You looked up at him, sighing in exhaustion, as he sat the band in your hands.
"Thank you," You muttered, looking down at it. You sensed him smile at you. You kept your eyes down but spoke. "Can I ask a favor?"
"Okay?"
"Would you mind... Terribly, ... Kissing me?" You fought every urge to look up at him.
"Wha- I- I- Why would-," He managed, clearly flustered.
"Just as like a reset. To get the creep's kiss... Off... You know?" Your voice came out much smaller then you had planned. He straightened, and you finally looked up at him.
The Doctor's face was pink, not too noticeable, but it was there. He moved his hands up to sides of your face. He spoke as he leaned in.
"This doesn't mean anything. It's just a TimeLord kissing his human. I've done it loads of times. It doesn't mean-" He was cut off by you closing the distance between your mouths.
The Doctor went straight to swaying slightly, his shoulders up. His kiss was soft, sweet. It wasn't a peck for sure, but he didn't dare put his tongue near yours. No one had ever kissed you with so much affection in your life. You brought your hands to the back of his neck, holding him gently.
Didn't mean anything, huh? Then what did that make every other kiss you'd ever had?
It felt as though you were the most precious thing he'd held, and it showed. The kiss lasted longer than you had thought it would, for sure. Like the Doctor (and you to be honest) had forgotten it was supposed to end at some point.
You felt so loved and cared for by the time he finally pulled away. You stared at each other, his face more red than even yours.
"Right..." Was all he said. You took a step back so he could relax, and smiled softly at him.
"Thanks," You said. He ran a hand through his quiff, like he was fidgeting, before smiling at you, letting his shoulders relax.
"Of course," He smiled. "Now off you pop, it's about the time you usually sleep."
You grabbed your headband, did a slight curtesy and walked across the console.
"You know," You called back, stopping just before the corridor. "I haven't voluntarily done anything like that in over two years."
He paused to think for a second.
"That's all the time we've known each other, plus a few months," He remarked.
"So it is," You said, smiling. "You must be distracting." Then off you ran to your room.
