Valid, but he definitely confesses on accident because he literally cannot help making a complete idiot out of himself where Donna is concerned.

She takes the opportunity to agree to a date, but only out of pity, of course.

The thing about romantic Tendonna is that it's not that I don't think it's impossible and also do what u want for shipping. I DO however think it's impossible that they would actually get together as a couple because they're both the most horrifically stubborn and dedicated to the bit people in the universe. They would be playing attraction chicken and first one to even float the idea of changing their relationship to something non platonic loses. Where a normal couple would have mutual pining they have mutual spite 💖.

NO NO WAIT. If one of them accidentally does something couple-y with no audience they are subjected to merciless teasing from the other. Occasionally the best way to tease is to act all couple-y right back, because why do they get flustered by it? Because we are totally platonic right? How silly. Great ammunition for the next battle of wits between two completely platonic best mates.

I just desperately want to know how I was supposed to interpret this scene as platonic.

Oh, god, the Ten/Donna feels. The way that Donna thinks she’s nothing, thinks that she’s no one, and she’s everything, both to the universe and to the Doctor.

I imagine this is how he sees her.
