When We Travel | Whouffaldi

Back in the Water

Clara's POV

I awoke to the sound of fire crackling. I opened my eyes slightly and noticed that I was in the TARDIS library. My head was resting on the Doctor's shoulder and his arm was around me, we were sitting on a sofa whilst he was doing some sort of DIY on his new screwdriver that I made him. I yawned as I closed my eyes again, I put an arm over the Doctor's stomach which caused him to tighten his arm around my waist.

"For someone who is immortal now sure sleeps quite a lot..." The Doctor mumbled.

"Mmm how long have I been asleep for?" I said with my eyes still closed.

"About three hours..."

I groaned, "Is that it? I haven't slept properly in weeks, Doctor..."

"Why not?" He questioned.

"You know why..." I whispered.

He sighed, "Maybe you should go to your room, then..."

"No." I simply said.

He rested his head on to of mine, "You're the boss." He said.

"What are you doing?" I asked, trying to stay awake.

"Nothing much. Just making sure everything works on this screwdriver."

"You don't trust me?"

"Of course I do... I'm just checking." Suddenly, I felt something on my nose. I opened my eyes and everything was darker, I was wearing... sunglasses? I took them off and realised that they were the sonic sunglasses. "I guess they are yours now." The Doctor said to me.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah. They look better on you anyway." He told me. I put the sunglasses back over my eyes and gave the Doctor a tight side hug and closed my eyes. I felt the Doctor take the sunglasses off my face, he put them on the coffee table and then placed his screwdriver next to them. He started to stand up,

I sighed as I gripped onto his arm, "Just let me sleep..."

He chuckled, "I am, Oswald..." he laid down and brought me to lay on top of him. He reached onto the floor and picked a blanket up, he put it over us. I rested my head on his chest. The last thing I saw was the fire burning in the fire place, I smiled as I closed my eyes.

"Doctor!" a voice awoke me. The room was suddenly colder due to the fire no longer burning but my eyes still remained shut.

"What, Missy?" The Doctor groaned as he wrapped his arms around my back.

"I'm bored!" I heard her complain.

"You're always bored! Go and burn a shop down or something!"

"If you haven't noticed, there are no shops! Just endless fields out there!" She exclaimed, "The only building there is the diner..."

"Don't you dare touch that diner." I mumbled into the Doctor's chest.

Missy groaned, "Great." She paused, "Oh..." She said in realisation.

"What?" The Doctor asked.

"We're in a field. And grass... is flammable." She stated.

"Do not burn down the entire field." He replied.

"You're no fun!" Missy started, "Come on, Doctor. Jack, Ashildr and I want an adventure!"

I yawned, "Maybe we should go on an adventure, Doctor. I know it's only been three weeks, but I missed travelling with you."
