[@ncbleiisms wow, that was longer than I expected o,o]
If Twen was going to be honest with himself, none of this was ever planned.
How many times he told himself that he should get away from her? How many sleepless nights he spent in his room, in the hidden TARDIS, trying to get the courage to leave her life for good…. How many times did he “accidentally” bump into her?
The Doctor barely could count.
They were stargazing again - something that he, under the name of Joan Smith, found out that she loved. He couldn’t help but feel bad for her, all these years without the slightest idea of who she really was. And so many more years without knowing what she meant for him
So, that one night - three days before Christmas - when she started her monolegue of “how not special” she was, he shook his head and looked to the sky, trying not to do anything stupid.
What happened next was so fast that he only noticed what he had done when he felt her palm reaching /for/ his cheek. He had headed closer to her, kneeling on the grass and looking at her deep blue eyes.

Only now noticing what he had done.
He wasn’t “The Doctor”. /To her/ He was Joan Smith,a retired woman. With another step back, he opened and closed his mouth a few times, not exactly sure if a simple ‘Sorry’ would help. If he could, he’d kick his own arse for blowing up his cover.
An awkward silence filled the air and he started to suffocate, so he did what he did the best: babbling when nervous.
“Soooo…..pie, right? You said you wanted to take some for Wilf,right? I am sure I still got a piece or two at home, I’ll give you them later.” he spoke fast “No, you know what? I’m,I’m going to get it now—hold on a secon—”
