Advent Drabble December 2nd -- Poinsettia (Requested by dqbunny)
If you would like to leave me your own prompt, you may do so here. There are 7 left (I recieved some through other means).
Poinsettia (Eleven/River|Doctor Who| Rated G)
As the Doctor and River wandered through an alien market laughing and teasing each other, he had an unexpected desire to do something nice for her.
He looked around, hoping to see something appropriate nearby. Somehow, he didn’t think she’d appreciate a combustible carburetor or a bouquet of spark plugs. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand, and ran.
They stopped at a stall; he carefully selected a turquoise plant, presenting it to her proudly.
“Thanks, Sweetie, but what is it?”
“A poinsettia, sort of.”
“Sort of?”
“It’s actually a Veelahena.”
River gaped at him. “You gave me a gift that bites?”
