[He comes home with the fish bowl and sets them on the floor in the middle of the dining room that doesn't have any dining things in it anyway. Then he lies down on his stomach facing them and just sort of watches for a few minutes. He doesn't get gifts from people very often, and there's also just a sort of calming presence about them to help dispell his ramping 'oh my god i rent a flat i have a mortgage i have carpets, windows, a JOB, my god what is happening' anxieties. So he lies there for a while watching them, lying down on the middle of the floor in the dining room.

[Rose wanders in from her bedroom, cocks her head at him lying in the floor then lies down in the floor on her stomach as well across from him and stares at the fish. She'll wait for him to break the silence.]
Well Cinna's girlfriend went home and I don't want him to be alone so I thought maybe we could invite him, Amy, Rory, Donna, TARDIS and a few other people over.
[She won't mention that it's terribly domestic and awfully coupley of them if he doesn't.] Just thought I ought to ask 'fore I offered your chef services and filled the flat up with people.
[ooc: Also this is relevant to your interests because I can see him doing things like this when he's bored and by organize I mean make a chaotic mess while he's waiting for her to get off work.
[He won't mention it. He's definitely starting to think it, but if he doesn't mention it maybe he's just being sort of paranoid and it isn't actually all that bad. For whatever reason, he's still mostly considering the flat to be her territory, however subconsciously, so if she wants to fill it with people he's just going to make sure his room is locked.] That sounds fine to me. You have to go with me to the market though. [He isn't doing that by himself. That would be too much.]
[ooc: oh he would totally do that. It's now 'reorganised' to meet the Melchior Stage Four optimization and efficiency requirements, which should be enough for anyone, honestly.]
[Under the tree, Rose will find only one present, somewhat well wrapped, though the bow may be being used to hide a mistake. Inside is the 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' (the actual book, not that one with Arthur Dent, as nice a man as he was. Most of it, anyway. The Doctor had to rewrite it from memory and there were a few sections he hadn't bothered reading entirely because they were a bit boring, so he elaborated.) However, whenever she gets back to her room, there is a smaller one he tucked under her pillow while she was showering. He didn't want to unwrap it under the tree partially because of his other self and whether he wasn't sure if he'd be there, and partially, he just wasn't sure about it in general, and thought her finding possibly when he wasn't here would be better. (Of course we have to make her find it while he's here though. That'll be easy.) The second present is small and in a box, and when she unwraps it she finds a slightly curved, thin, wooden bit with tiny little silver-looking swirly patterns on, sparsely

[The book will be treasured and read and squealed over. In deference to the other him there, she'll opt for a kiss on the cheek in appreciation. She will probably tease him and question him about the elaborated parts...weeeeelll about all the parts at some point or another while she's reading it just because she can. It's one of those things that go in the nightstand next to her diary and her TARDIS key (when she does take it off). She finally goes back into the bedroom that night after all of the Christmas hoopla, changes into pajamas and sits cross-legged on the bed reading through her new book. At some point after he's in there, she can wiggle around, shift a little and eventually notice the lump under the pillow.]
[He comes into the room with his three in his hands, playing mostly with the little cufflinks. He's quite tickled by them in general.] I still say these are brilliant; I've never had ones like that before. [Flops on the bed. He's come in to chat at least a little before she goes to sleep.] Although the pyjamas - non-slip feet? I'll have to get that off somehow - the sliding is the best part.

I don't think I've ever been given a fish before.
