A/N: This prompt was from FireAndIceAndRage! It took me a while to come up with an idea for this word, but that's a good thing since it's no fun if it's easy. :P I hope you all like it!

Tentoo/Rose

The half-human metacrisis Doctor had many issues when it came to fitting into Earth's society.

Whether it was being over-friendly, not understanding how to balance a checkbook, or even organizing his closet, he was a messy wreck. Rose kept him together well enough, doing most of the tasks for him that he couldn't do. However, the thing he was worst at was time.

Sure, it made sense, that someone so used to hopping around whenever he wanted in time would be a little confused without his precious time machine. Though it was starting to get ridiculous. He couldn't keep a calendar to save his life and never knew when anything was happening. It bothered Rose to no end, especially in the morning. Well, at least, what he considered to be the morning.

"Hey, Rose!" the Doctor was snuggled against her with his chest to her back when he awoke, moving lightly in the bed. "Time to wake uppp! We have lots of things to do today!" Rose didn't budge so he brushed her hair out of her eyes and noticed they were still shut. "Come on Rose, get out of bed! Things to do, people to see, places to go! Come on!"

She simply hummed something and rolled over so that she was now facing him, obviously still in a deep sleep.

"Psst, Rose, Rose, wake up!"

Her lips moved slowly after a moment and he could just barely make out her words, "Five more minutes, Mum..."

The Doctor raised an eyebrow, "I'll try not to be offended that you just mistook me for your mother. Now come on!"

"Doctor?" Rose's eyes fluttered open and she stared at him, squinting in the dark light. "What are you doing?"

"It's time to wake up, of course. I figured I'd wake you instead of that pesky alarm clock. So annoying."

She propped herself up at one elbow, "I thought you broke the alarm clock with your new screwdriver yesterday."

Even in the darkness she could see him blush, "You know about that? Sorry, it was an accident... I'll make you a brand new one. But anyways, it's time to wake up!"

"What time is it?"

He frowned and looked up at the ceiling, "How can you humans keep track of time without time sense? I still have some of it, but it's not as easy as it was before... I think it's two in the morning. Two or three. Maybe one..."

"Why," Rose said as she plopped back down on the bed, curling up into a ball and pulling the blanket over her head, "would you wake me up at two in the morning?"

"I thought you said we had to go grocery shopping today?" the Doctor lay down and wrapped an arm around her, holding her close.

Although she was upset, Rose burrowed into his side anyways and sighed, "Nobody goes grocery shopping at two in the morning. You know that, Doctor! Don't you pay attention to time? You are half a Time Lord..."

"I just figured that because I'm not tired you wouldn't be tired," he said, using his very best I'm-just-an-innocent-puppy-please-stop-being-mad-at-me-Rose voice. "I'm sorry to wake you up, I didn't know."

"How can you not be tired?" she asked, sniffing.

The Doctor shrugged, "I don't know. I'm just not."

They lay in silence for a while, listening to one another breathe. After around five minutes when she could easily tell the Doctor was still wide awake, she asked in a groggy voice, "Doctor?"

"Yeah, Rose?" he replied.

"Let's go grocery shopping," she suggested, sitting up and leaning her legs over the side of the bed.

Running a hand through his hair he stood up as well. "But you said normal people don't go grocery shopping at two in the morning?"

"Well," Rose opened their closet doors and began pulling out an outfit, "we're not normal people. And we never will be."

With a gleeful smile he extended his hand to hers and she accepted it, squeezing it tight. "That's a good thing," he reckoned.

"Yes, it is."
