Tentoo/Rose
"I'm human," the half-human Doctor said for the thousandth time that day. He propped himself up on his elbows in Rose's bed and stared at her with a wild grin on his face. She didn't think she could ever get sick of looking at him. Especially when he was this enthusiastic.
"I've noticed," Rose pointed out, laughing. "You're really enjoying this, aren't you?"
He scoffed, "Enjoying this? This is the best day of my long, long life! Well, technically, I was born yesterday. But it's the best day out of all of my memories! Nothing could beat this, Rose Tyler. I love you I love you I love you!"
Rose laughed and she noticed that a tear was falling from her eye. The love that she had for him was so huge and so amazing that it felt like her heart was going to beat straight out of her chest. He noticed her tear and frowned, wiping it from her face. "It's a happy tear," she explained, "because I love you too. So much."
"Happy tears. That is so human!" he exclaimed. "Rose, there's so much I want to do. So much that I've never done before... I... What time is it?"
"It's five in the morning. Normally humans are sleeping at this time," she explained. "Since you're half human now you're going to need to start sleeping on a normal schedule."
The Doctor raised an eyebrow. "Why sleep when we could do anything? We could do anything in the entire world right now! Can we go out to breakfast?"
"Doctor," Rose said gently, still laughing, "most people don't go out for breakfast at five a.m."
"Are we most people, Rose Tyler?" He hopped out of the bed excitedly and then remembered he was completely naked. "Although perhaps we should put on clothes first."
"Mmm, I don't know," Rose hummed, turning on her side. "I think I like you better like this."
He laughed, "Oi! I'm taking you out to breakfast right now, Rose Tyler. Get dressed."
She stretched and got out of bed, quickly putting on underwear, a pair of jeans, and a plain pink T-shirt. The Doctor, of course, put on his iconic pinstripe suit. There was one thing that would never change. They left the building that contained Rose's flat together, hand in hand. The Doctor was practically skipping as he walked, a grin of pure joy on his face. His excitement was contagious, and he made the littlest things seem like the biggest adventures.
"We're going out to eat," he sang, "at five in the morning."
"And I'm exhausted," she complained playfully, "and cold."
He immediately took off his brown coat and wrapped it around her. She smiled and snuggled into it, but was surprised when she noticed the Doctor had stopped walking. He was frozen in place, his eyes wide and a maniac grin plastered on his face. "I'm cold," he stated simply. "Normally I wouldn't get cold in weather like this, but I'm cold! There's a breeze, and I'm cold. I mean, I got cold before, but only when it was a lot colder outside. But... I'm cold, Rose! This is amazing! This is the best thing ever!"
"You like being cold?" Rose asked, eyebrow raised. He lifted her up by her waist and spun her around, making her squeal. "Doctor!"
"I love it."
It took them another hour to make them to the cafe (which had only been a few blocks away in the first place), since the Doctor kept getting distracted by 'amazing' little things that he hadn't been able to appreciate or do while he had been a full Time Lord.
Their waitress was a young blonde woman with her hair in two pig tails and very pale skin. She smiled at the two of them, "What can I get for you this early in the mornin'?"
The Doctor looked at the paper menu, flipping through it quickly. "I'll take ten pancakes. Thanks."
Rose laughed a little at the waitresses' expression. "Is that for the two of you to split, then?" the woman asked politely.
"No, I'll have your fish and chips, if it's not too early," Rose requested kindly.
"It's not," the waitress assured her, walking away with their order and a puzzled expression.
"Doctor," Rose grinned, "you know you can't eat like a Time Lord anymore? Ten pancakes is a lot, even for you."
He scoffed at her, playfully offended, "Rose Tyler honestly thinks I can't handle ten pancakes. I could eat fifty."
She rolled her eyes. "I'm afraid you'll be unpleasantly surprised at what your new body can handle."
"I may get cold now, but that doesn't mean I don't have the same appetite."
The waitress came back a few minutes later and set the fish and chips in front of Rose. Then she set a plate stacked with ten huge pancakes, the intimidating tower topped with a cube of butter. It came with syrup on the side and she set out silverware for the both of them. He swallowed audibly and the waitress grinned, "Enjoy!"
"Still think you can handle it?" Rose asked snugly.
Thirty minutes and four pancakes later, the Doctor held his stomachs with both hands. "I don't think I'll ever eat again. Never in my whole life."
Rose eyed the six pancakes left on the plate. "Thought you were going to finish them all?" She stuck her tong out of her teeth and her eyes sparkled at him.
"You win. Uncle, uncle," he uttered.
The waitress handed them the bill and Rose requested a take-home box for the remainder of the pancakes.
They walked together hand in hand back to Rose's flat, and the Doctor was groaning the whole way. "Being a human isn't as easy as I thought."
"Or as fun?" Rose wondered.
"Nah, it's still fun," he grinned.
She laughed. "Oh yeah? Race you back to the flat then."
"You're on, Rose Tyler! I may not have the same appetite but my legs are still stronger than... Hey, you never said go!"
Needless to say, Rose won.
