He didn't want to admit it, but he was exhausted. I had been a long day and a confusing one at that, and it had worn him out which he wasn't used to in the slightest along with so many other things. The man was now human and that was strange enough, but the difference from the bi-monthly slumber to the daily one was one that he didn't know he could get used to. For now he sat with Rose Tyler on Jackie's couch watching an odd television program about Earth and one that seemed ironic but helpful to him that day. The Doctor let out a small squeak dubbed as a yawn and could feel himself nodding off. The comforting sound in the background was switched off before his eyes snapped open once again. Rose smiled at him, amused by the sleepiness that overcame the newly human man.
"Tired?" She asked, chuckling afterwords when he looked almost confused by this newly highlighted feeling that was overcoming him. The man rubbed his eyes and leaned against the girl and smiled at her giggles. "Come on, let's go to bed, yeah?" She asked, not quit standing up yet as she did not want to upset him. He groaned quietly in response and wrapped his arms around Rose, his Rose that he could be as close to her as he wanted now that there was no threat of danger.
"Alright, alright, we can stay here." He nodded and took her hand while his free arm still stayed wrapped around her waist in a comfortable position he wasn't quit accustomed to. "We can lay down and sleep here tonight if you like." She suggested as his eyes opened revealing dark but shining eyes.
"Yeah." He responded, letting her go and kicking off his shoes that did so without resistance while he laid down, watching as she did the same and fell into his arms, smiling and flushing when he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her in, mumbling about how he loved her and such. Rose knew that if he didn't much know this man that this would be going too fast, but she was absolutely okay with that. "Love you too, Doctor."
He opened his eyes slightly, leaning in close and whispering an abundance of strange syllables strung all together in a name, one that made her tear up slightly as she rolled over to face him. She was more then suprised by the name whispered in a sleepy but absolute tone. "Is that...?" She asked, wanting to be sure that it was really what she thought.
He wiped away the tears and smiled sleepily at her as he re-wrapped his arms around her back once more and pulled her in, letting her lay her head on his chest. He didn't know what she would say, hell, he didn't know if she'd say anything, but when she looked up at him, making his stomach flip, the words she said caused him to blush slightly, something he wasn't quit used to. "You really are cute," She whispered the last part that was his name in his ear, wanting to know if she pronounced it right. The brunette blushed, smiling slightly in a surprised grin.
Rose laid her head down once more and closed her eyes, listening to his heart beat slowing down as he fell asleep, happy that his first day of being human had gone well and that now, the running was finally over.
