Doctor Who Imagines {DISCONTINUED}

Preferences- He Lets You Drive

This preference set was requested by PureChaoticInsanity. Enjoy!

9th Doctor:
The first time he lets you drive, he is terrified for your life. He knew you paid attention when he was at the controls, but he didn't know how well you could follow along. But he didn't let how scared he was show. He'd watch you carefully and when you did something wrong, he would he sure to tell you immediately.

If you so much as thought about touching the wrong lever, he'd let out a loud, annoyed, "Wrong! That's wrong! No, stop. Just stop. That's wrong." He was rude, but you expected this from him by now. However, that didn't mean you were okay with it.

After quite a long week and a half of continuous instruction and demonstrating from him, he would finally sit back and let you drive on your own. He would flinch, but then calm down when he realized that you was doing things right. When you anded on Earth successfully, he stood next to you at the controls and didn't say a word. He just raised an eyebrow at you and shook his head.

"Don't think this means you can fly this thing all the time," he muttered. You grinned and hugged him.

"Thanks for teaching me, Doctor. But I think I'll just stick with watching from now on." He grinned at you and kissed the side of your head before pushing you aside carefully and throwing levers and slamming his hand onto buttons, sending us flying through time on his own.

10th Doctor:

He is nothing but supportive of you learning to fly the TARDIS. In fact, he suggested it and badgered you about it until you agreed.

"It takes six people to fly her properly," he explained. "We have two, and only one of us knows what they're doing. But I think that with you learning how, we could make this a lot smoother of a trip." He would guide your hands, explaining everything he was having you do. You didn't understand it as well as he did, but you understood enough.

When he used words that only a Time Lord or a complete genius would know, you'd give him "the look" to let him know that he lost you.

"... And this lever is going to cause a temporary shift in the position of the engine's thrusters, causing us to propel at a higher rate per second than we were moments before!"

"Human words, Doctor." He would sigh and think for a moment.

"We're going to shift gears when we're driving stick." That, you understood. He didn't get frustrated when you failed. He would just come up behind you and calmly explain where you went wrong and what you should have done instead. An excellent teacher, and good at sitting back and not interrupting when you're figuring it out.

11th Doctor

The uncoordinated house cat is really overly excited on the outside, but on the inside he's worried. He would never come out and tell you why, or even that he was concerned. His biggest fear is the people he loves leaving him behind. What if you leave him, too?

He pushes all these feelings aside while you're clumsily flying the TARDIS. You've paid enough attention to know the general how-to of it. He watches with a sad smile as you hit buttons and throw switches just like he does.

He is, in all honesty, so scared to lose you that he doesn't want to teach you the proper way to fly. But he'd always tell you that the reason he can't is because he failed his TARDIS test several times before tricking the system into thinking he passed. Of course, this is a lie. He only failed it once, and never cheated on the second one. He just doesn't want to teach you how because he's afraid that you'll leave, or that you'll get hurt and it will be his fault. You wouldn't leave him, though. If you did, you'd go back to being an average, boring human instead of this brilliant person he's made you into.
