Merry Christmas! (9, 10)

Start from the beginning
                                    

He put on the movie right as you kiss him and mumble, "Merry Christmas, Doc."

Ten:

You grin as you hum along to the cheery, festive Christmas music that you begged the TARDIS to play. The TARDIS found an adventure the Doctor would like to go on and kicked him out basically for the day so you decorated the TARDIS in all sorts of pretty lights and had a tree by the far wall. The Doctor had no idea what you and her were up to of course, and thats what made it so much more fun! You loved surprising him and seeing his face light up with joy as if he was a little boy getting a dirt bike.

You were adorned in a very ugly Christmas sweater with Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman on it. The sweater had lights and puffballs all over it to make it seem very extra and thats what you loved about it. It was the perfect blend of chaotic and childish.

You finished your decorations and grinned brightly as you stared at everything you and the TARDIS worked on. She agreed to help with making some food while you bake a few deserts so you asked the TARDIS to shuffle your Spotify Favorites over her speakers as kindly as you could. Thankfully she loves the hell out of you and obliged, the first song coming on being "Jingle Bell Rock."

♡~A few hours later~♡

You smiled as you brought out the Peppermint Meringues you made and placed them on a table you set up in the library. The TARDIS had informed you that it may have been a rough day for the Doctor and this room was always his safe space. She decorated the library so that there was garland all over the sides and top of the bookcases, a big tree near the fireplace, a Christmas themed blanket over the couch and snowflakes hanging from the ceiling. It looked absolutely wonderful, but not exactly complete yet.

You walked over to a record player near the couch and looked for a Christmas-y record to play. Music had always been something that set the mood for you and you wanted nothing more than for this to be the best Christmas either of you had spent together. You find a record and put it on, putting the needle in it's place. The music flowed around the room and it took a moment to recognize the song to be "It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas" by Michael Bublé.

You let out a soft sigh and stretch as you walk over to a shelf and grab one of your favorite songs before sitting on the couch, enjoying the sounds of the fireplace crackling. It wasn't long before you heard footsteps behind you before they came to an abrupt stop.

"What's going on here?" The Doctor quizzed from behind you. You just smiled and stood, turning to look at him. However, your smile dropped when you noticed his singed clothes and soot allover his face and clothing.

"Oh my gods, what happened?" You step forward and lightly touch a cut on his left cheekbone. He hisses slightly and you pull back, worry crossing your face. "Hey, sexy?" You look up at the ceiling and address the TARDIS who hums in response. "Can I get a first aid please?" The lights flicker and a first aid kit appears behind you on the coffee table. You take the Doctor's hand gently and have him sit down on the couch.

"Look at that, now the Doctor is my patient." You joke, opening up the kit. "Whay happened out there today? You look like you faced death."

"We can talk about it later, love." He gave a weak smile as you dabbed some medicine onto his cuts and scrapes on his face and hands. "I want to enjoy Christmas with you for now."

You nod and continue to treat his injuries, humming softly to the music playing. Once you had finished with the injuries you could see, you pressed a kiss to his lips. "Do you have any others?" He shook his head and pulled you into his lap, pressing a kiss to your cheek as you blush intensely.

"Thank you for fixing me up, baby. It wasnt that bad though." He smirks, knowing that no matter how bad it is, you'll always worry about him. "So, what made you do all of this?"

"Its Christmas and we haven't had the best Christmas's have we?" You grinned mischievously. "I just want to make this Christmas special for you. As special as you make me feel." You kiss his cheek and stand up. "We got some food ready for a proper Christmas dinner. Come on before it gets cold, my love."

He smiles lovingly at you and stands up, pulling you close by your hips just as 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' comes on. "One dance, then we can eat. What do you say?" He lets his hands go down to your waist and hums along to the song softly as he sways you both gently.

You roll your eyes at how cheesy and romantic this is but nod anyways, looping your arms around his neck as you let him lead you all around the library. He spins you outwards expertly and pulls you back into his arms slowly, now having your back to his chest. He whispers sweet nothings in your ear, his breath hitting the shell of your ear and making you shiver. But you feel completely safe in the arms of your time traveling idiot and you couldnt be any happier with where you are right now. You never wanted this moment to end.

You sigh and close your eyes, relishing the feeling of being with the man you love more than anything. How rare this is, the calm you both feel. The way you aren't having to run for your lives. This is the time that the two of you really enjoy. The time where its just the two of you and nothing can interrupt. Except of course a certain Jack Harkness with his stupid vortex manipulator.

"Oh, I'm so sorry to ruin the moment, I'll see myself out." Jack zapped away again, making you let out a small, yet confused, laugh.

"What bad timing." You grin, turning to kiss your Time Lord as the song ends. "Thank you, love. Let's eat and relax a bit before Jack comes back with bad news."

The Doctor smiled and kissed you passionately, one hand in your hair and the other on your waist. When he pulls away, he leads the two of you to the table you had set up and make your food before eating it, just enjoying each other's company and learning more about one another. This is definitely one of your best Christmases.
