A Noise in the Room

Prompt: ...spending the night in an inn and they end up huddling under the blankets together because they heard a noise.

Clara's POV

I lay in bed just staring at the ceiling. The Doctor had taken us on a journey to some random planet, and guess what? The TARDIS decided to 'stop working', god knows why he parked it in MY room though. We had to rent out two rooms at the inn. I insisted that we share a room but The Doctor thought that it would be best if we had separate rooms. He has always been like this since his regeneration, The 'I don't like hugs' Doctor. All of a sudden just as I finally started to close my eyes, there was a loud knock at the door. I groaned as I picked up my phone from the bed side table, I looked at the time before placing it back down on the desk. 2am. I slowly got up out of bed a straightened my pajamas out. I slowly walked towards the door and unlocked it, there stood The Doctor, in nothing but a white t-shirt and some grey sweatpants. 

"Doctor?" I asked cautiously. He pushed past me and sat on my bed, I closed my door and locked it back up. 

"Quickly Clara!" He exclaimed as he laid down on the bed and covered himself with a blanket. I raised my eyebrow before approaching him, I lifted the blanket up slightly and looked at him with curiosity. He grabbed my arm and dragged me down, I let out a small yelp as I hit the bed. 

"What is the matter with you?!" I whisper-yelled, I didn't want to  wake anyone up in the inn.

"I heard a sound in the room next to mine! It could be anything!" He said as he pulled the blanket over both of us until we were pretty much fully covered. "Can't get a good night sleep anywhere!"

"Since when do you 'sleep'?" I questioned. I was still in shock at the close contact that we were in right now, he usually doesn't like being so close to anyone. Especially me.

"Excuse me, a time-lord CAN sleep, just not as long as humans." he said. I reached out of the blanket in search for my phone. I found it picked it up and turned it on. "Why have you turned your phone on? This is no time for Twitter! What are you gonna tweet? #DyingAtTheInnLOL?!?!"

"Two things. One. I'm using my phone as a torch and two. Since when did you know about Twitter?"

"That's not important." He said slowly as he looked at me with those mysterious, hypnotic yet confusing eyes. I looked back. "Stop doing that!" He exclaimed as he squinted his eyes at me,

"Stop doing what?" I asked.

"The thing with your eyes! How do they even get that big? Are they inflating? Do you need medical attention?"

"Rude." I replied. A loud bang then sounded off outside the door. "Okaaay what was that?"

"I don't know, Clara! I can't see through walls!"

"Okay don't need to be an asshole."

"We don't need that kind of language Miss Oswald." he said trying to hide his smirk. Another bang then sounded and The Doctor flinched before taking my hand in his.

"Aww, is the wittle Doctor scared?" I said.

"Pfft. Me? I'm just here because y-you're scared." He started to remove his hand from mine but I quickly squeezed it tell him to keep it there.

"Ex..." a voice came from outside.

"Eggs? Why do these people want eggs from us! Especially at this hour!" The Doctor said loudly.

"Doctor... I don't think they want eggs."

"Ter..." the voice said. 

"Ter? These people are bananas! What is ter? Some sort of food or drink?" The Doctor looked deep in thought.

"I think we should go now Doctor." I said as I removed my hand from his and through the blanket off of us. I stood up and walked slowly towards the TARDIS. I clicked my fingers and the TARDIS doors opened on command.

"What are you doing Clara? These people clearly want their breakfast early!" He said as he walked towards the door.

"Doctor, no it's a-"

"I'm sorry but we don't have any-" he was cut off by the door quickly opening. "eggs..." he finished.

"EXTERMINATE!" The Dalek's robotic voice echoed in the room. It fired the gun at the Doctor's head but he ducked just in time.

"Ah! A Dalek! What is a Dalek doing here?" He quickly ran towards the TARDIS. He ran inside pulling me with him and the TARDIS doors quickly slammed shut once we were both inside. "I have to go back! I left my coat!"

"Are you serious, Doctor? You have plenty of them!" I exclaimed. He sighed before, reluctantly, punching in some co-ordinates on the console and then he pulled a number of different levers.

"Where are we now, Doctor?" I asked. He walked over to the doors and opened them. 

"Home sweet home." He replied. We had landed inside my flat.
