Were So Not Married.

“We’re so not married.”

Okay I posted about this on my tumblr but it’s never gonna gain traction bc I rb like there’s no tomorrow.

Hear me out: Ten accidentally kinda sorta confesses his love for Donna, and she’s like lol that’s so embarrassing but I’ll go out with you as a pity date hahahaha unless…?

And ten is like ur taking that out of context and not being fair but I’ll take u out for that date just to prove how not into you I am hahaha unless…?

And they go out for that date but it’s them so they are interrupted by some disaster and she’s like “well you owe me a not-date that is normal and not catastrophic” and he’s like “well obviously lol we need a do-over”

And mutually they like “yeah a DO-OVER definitely not a second date, obviously.” On and on repeating.

Then it starts getting a little awkward with the couple denials bc like “NO NO DEFINITELY NOT. but yeah we have been going out yk from time to time and drinking champagne on the beach under the stars but like. As a joke.”

And they’re both super bothered that people give them the “yeah sure keep telling yrself that” look and they are in huff about it because people are being so superior abt it. 

They love an inside joke so they are like “well if everybody else thinks they’re so smart thinking they’re a couple, maybe we should present ourselves as a couple and it can be our private joke that were secretly completely platonic.”

Then later on one of them is like “lol we should get married” and the other is like “lol that’s the stupidest thing ever” and they bicker about it out of obligation but internally they are mutually like “YES I will agree to this after we’re done fighting bc there is no one else in the universe I would rather be married to. But obviously not bc Im IN love with u… just like it could be funny, and we can get free couple’s stuff and tax benefits.”

THEN like either before or after their marriage of contrivance the bit can be when one of them slips up and acts couple-y without an audience the other teasing mercilessly… and yk… sometimes the best way to tease them is to act all couple-y right back, because why do they get so flustered?? Bc we’re totally platonic lol what’s wrong babe. 

Really long head cannon but I just need to figure out how to execute their relationship in way they could be canon together but keep that tension intact without typical romantic drama that I hate lol.

The way they are, the doctor would probably tell Donna he loved her without realizing he said it until a few minutes later when she realizes he said it

He's so pathetic. Poor thing.
