Chapter Text
„Are you two seeing each other?“ Yaz couldn’t stop thinking about her mother´s assumption.
Yaz hadn´t ever really come out to her family but she knew that they knew or at least suspected her to be gay or bisexual. But to hear her mother confront her so openly that was something else. Yaz knew she had to talk to her mother at one time or another not only about her sexuality but also about how she met her new friends. But she wasn’t ready for that now. Mostly because she knew that this conversation would also involve questions about her feelings towards the Doctor and she wasn’t sure about how she felt.
Even if the Doctor and her denied that they were seeing each other, Yaz couldn’t deny that a part of her wanted it to be true.
It was only after their adventure in Punjab that Yaz had to admit to herself that she had a crush on the Doctor. Her feelings were growing stronger the longer she traveled with this amazing woman.
After she learned the truth about the watch her Nani had given her she knew she had to talk to the Doctor about her feelings. But it took her several more weeks before she said anything. The Doctor was working on the TARDIS as Yaz entered the console room. They were parked in Sheffield and Graham and Ryan had gone home to check on their mail. But Yaz knew they wanted to give her some time alone with the Doctor.
As she entered the TARDIS the Doctor was lying under the console, googles over her eyes and working on some wires.
Yaz stood there for a view minutes and watched her before she made herself known. „Oh. Yaz. I didn’t hear you. Must have been too lost in my own world. Funny how you can loose yourself in your own thoughts sometimes. Anyway is there something I can do for you?“ Yaz was silent for a moment looking at her feet when she finally said „I was hoping I could talk to you about something.“ „You can talk to me about anything.“ the Doctor replied as she was standing up und tossing away her googles. „Might want some tea?“ she asked. Yaz nodded. So they went to the kitchen where the Doctor started to make tea for them while Yaz sat down at the table. As the Doctor placed the two tea cups on the table and seated herself opposite Yaz she asked „What was it you wanted to talk about?“ „You remember when my mum asked us if we where seeing each other?“ Yaz asked. She decided to make a dash for it. „Yes. I do. Why?“ the Doctor asked eyeing her suspiciously. „Well. I…I was thinking if we could start seeing each other? I mean I really like you and….“ Yaz stammered. She focused on her hands holding the cup a little bit too tight. „Yaz?“ the Doctor asked. Yaz finally allowed herself to look up. She was greeted with a wide smile. „Yes, Doctor.“ she replied voice stronger than before. „I like you, too. And I would like to go out with you, officially.“ the Doctor smiled. Yaz could feel her heart skipping a beat and her mouth was drown into a smile as well.
„So. How do we do this?“ the Doctor asked like she was working on the TARDIS. Yaz couldn’t help but burst into laughter. „Well. We could start by going to the cinema together.“ she suggested. „There is a new adventure movie playing I would like to see.“ „Sounds great.“
They went to the cinema that night and out to dinner on another. Sometimes Yaz forgot that her new girlfriend was an alien. The relationship was building slowly. Both of them had decided that they wanted to take it slow. It was on their third date, the boys were at home and the Doctor had taken Yaz to this planet called Atamis One. It was a garden planet and they had strolled the flower fields all day holding hands. They watched the sunset when their eyes met. Nobody had to say anything they knew it was the right time. They kissed. First it was slow and shy but fast it became more passionate. When they parted both were out of breath but smiling happily. The Doctor got up, holding out a hand she said „Come on. Let´s go back to the TARDIS.“ Yaz took her hand and they walked back. As they entered the TARDIS the Doctor pushed Yaz against the door as soon as it was closed and kissed her again. Hard. Passionate. Yaz was surprised by this sudden outburst of passion, lust and love but responded quickly. As they parted they both knew they couldn’t stop now. So as the Doctor hold out her hand Yaz took it without hesitation. The Doctor leaded Yaz to her bedroom. A room Yaz had never entered before. She was a little anxious but when they kissed again her fears melted away.
