I TOLD YOU IT WAS PROJECTILE VOMITING RAINBOWS IN HIS FACE.

Okay but serious, to put it simply, Clara loves Jim.

I'm not sure she even really recognizes it as love but that's what it is. She would do anything for him, even die for him if she felt she had to. He makes her feel happy and protected and most of all important. He treats her like she's something special and although Clara acts aloof, it means a lot to her when people recognize her talents. She wants to keep showing him that she's impressive and worthy of his respect.

I think Jim was easy for her to get along with because they're quite similar. Of course, she found his outer flirtatious persona fun and exciting like most girls do. But it was the care he showed for Rose and everyone that really made Clara come to respect him a lot. Sure, he's kind of an asshole sometimes, but there's a gentleness to him too. And that is what made Clara drop her walls and let him in.

She also feels like they have kind of an unspoken understanding of each other because they're quite similar. They look after each other and stick up for each other, but never get too deep into feelings or poke at vulnerabilities. He is okay with her wanting just to sit around and be quiet sometimes and doesn't begrudge her for her distance. In fact he seems to respect it. He has a spirit of adventure that she delights in. At first it was because it reminded her of the Doctor, but now it's because it's something she shares too and it draws her to people.

Clara worries about Jim a lot. She feels like he's had some rough spots in his past and he confessed to her about dying and she knows how that feels. She never brings it up but it eats at someone and she knows it. Add the trapped feeling that comes with being in Keeliai and it's a bad combo. She just quietly watches from afar now but would bring it up if she got too concerned.

That said, Clara also hates being vulnerable in front of Jim. Partially because he's so good at hiding it himself and she doesn't want to rock the boat. But also because as said before, she feels like he respects her strengths and she doesn't want to show him any weaknesses. She hates being viewed as broken by anyone and even worse someone she cares about. Jim wouldn't judge her, she knows that, but it's a matter of keeping her pride and being worthy of his respect. This event is going to be pretty hard on her in that regard.

Clara probably fancies Jim on some level, but I don't think she's even aware of that. She tends to assume people, especially men, view her as a broken bird. Plus, Jim is Jim, he most likely has many other people he's interested in.
