Canon compliant
The Doctor woke slowly, which in itself was surprising. What was even more surprising was the warm bundle hat was half sprawled on top of him. He rarely slept. It was even rarer that he would share a bed with someone. Oh, there were times during his centuries of life where he'd consciously made the decision to fall into bed with someone. He couldn't deny that. But to have no knowledge the next morning of how the other person made it into his bed had never happened before. At least he had his clothes on.
He cracked his eyes open and immediately relaxed. The bundle cuddled against him was his current companion, Rose Tyler. He was still unsure how they'd ended up in bed together. He closed his eyes, and carefully flipped through his memories of the previous night.
Oh. He'd drank something with ginger in it. He'd thought it had tasted a bit off but couldn't place what it was at the time. Well, now he knew.
But as they lay there, he heard Rose let out a small, contended sigh. He couldn't help but smile down at her. He hoped this would be the first day of a new future for them.
