A/N: hiiiii! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Just an update for you all :D The final chapter :D

Also, who's excited for the New Year's Eve Special?

"No Doctor…. Tinsels are to be hung somewhere prominent."

"But this is how I want it to be!"

"Oh, Doctor. I'm sorry to say this… but you have absolutely no sense of style, whatsoever." Clara said jokingly. He gave her frown, knitting his attack eyebrows. "Oh come on… don't be daft. I will be glad to help." Clara said with wide grin. The Doctor couldn't help but smile back shyly, avoiding all eye contact, showing off one of the rarest grins he ever gave.

"Trust me Doctor… just for once." Clara awaited his response. "Ok, boss." He breathed, on the verge of losing his patience.

But he's just got his Clara back after 12 hours of his companion not knowing who he was.

That it was still the Doctor.

It wasn't worth losing his patience just to make her furious and storm out as she usually does.

His thoughts were disrupted by Clara once again.

"Hey, have you thought about the round things?" Her eyes gleamed. She knew how much the Doctor loves the round things.

The Doctor's face lit up.

"The round things! We can decorate them with this…" His eyebrows were in confused mode. "tinsel of yours."

"You see Doctor? Just a little bit of imagination, and you can decorate anything." She said cheerfully as the companion wrapped tinsel around the nearest circle.

"Many humans have quite a lot of imagination for such a puny mind." He muttered as he joined her by doing the same to another orb of light.

As they decorated the small Christmas tree near the little bookshelf which they had extracted from the compartment under the console, Clara noticed that the Doctor's lips were curled in a small smile. There was complete silence except for an occasional groan from the TARDIS.

"Why did you decide to decorate the TARDIS, Doctor?" She said, making no eye contact as she draped the tinsel to the tree to a branch at eye level. The companion didn't want him to get too uncomfortable. "You don't seem the type."

"Uh…" He hesitated. Good thing that he only had a tinsel. Had it been a glass ornament, it would have shattered as it fell to the ground in the Doctor's panic. "I decided to try something different."

He hung the tinsel near the top of the tree, where Clara couldn't reach.

After some time he continued.

"None of my companions were enthusiastic about Christmas as much as you... So I decided to cheer things up." He didn't make any eye contact either. But when he turned to get anther tinsel, he was able to see Clara, who had froze near the box with a multicoloured tinsel in her hand. He looked up, as did she.

"You did it," Clara said with her big sad eyes. "for me?"

The Doctor said nothing, but his lips widened a little bit as he tried to hold a smile.

Clara let the tinsel fall to the ground and embraced the Doctor. He stood still not knowing not to do, with a long copper- coloured tinsel in hand. He didn't want to spoil the special moment, even though the Doctor didn't like hugging. After all, he did it to spend some quality time with his Clara. So, after a while, he decided to hug her too, wrapping her in tinsel.

A/N: Wishing you a happy new year to all!

Wanted to say a few words as the year is coming to an end (ik... It is a bit awkward since it's only the middle of the story etc... But I'm really grateful for you) . A huge thank you for those who have been sticking around for this past year (as I've been publishing stories on this site since October/ November ?) and also to the newcomers too (welcome to my twelveclara obsessed word xD). I'm so grateful for every single one of my readers; especially the people who have left some type of feedback (both by pm or by review) and all the favourites and follows! It really means a lot to me! A special thanks goes to AntimonyAvenger who had given me a lot of feedback which I really appreciate, and also to my best friend (Victori) who is essentially, most of the time, my personal beta reader xD

Soooo... Back to the story... Still another chapter to come! Feedback (even constructive criticism) appreciated :D Take care :D See you next year (planning to post on the first of January after the New Year's Special... Hope it's going to be a good one xD)
