The viewers who checked out on Twelve because he was “mean” just didn’t get this.

a wonderfully patient and creative nonnie asked for a list of prompts based on interactions between two good friends in the aftermath of a trauma that happens to one of them, and i’m nothing if not a sucker for angst and deeply emotional connections! so here we go! i’m hoping these will be up to the nonnie’s expectations! have a wonderful day, my lovelies, and DO NOT ADD TO THIS LIST !!
- “ i really hate seeing you like this… “
- “ why don’t we hang out tonight? like we used to, you know? order in cheap take-out, watch crappy movies, go for a walk… whatever you want, right? “
- “ please say something… anything. even if it’s telling me to shut up and leave you alone… just say something. “
- “ i really miss you, you know. “
- “ i’m here. you got that? i don’t care if you never say anything to me ever again. i don’t care. i’m not going away, and i’m not going to stop being here for you, no matter how long you glare at me or ignore me or pretend that you’re okay. because i know you’re not. i know. “
- “ talk to me. i don’t care what we talk about. it doesn’t have to be anything big. we don’t need to talk about whatever happened to you, not unless you want to. i just… just talk to me, will you? “
- “ you know, i talk to a lot of people every single day. i hear all their voices telling me all kinds of stuff; i hear it all. and the only voice i really wanna listen to is yours, you know? even when you’re driving me crazy. so come on. please… just drive me crazy again? “
- “ …seriously? no come-back? no witty retort? no… sarcastic shot at me? come on, i… i know we never ask these things, but, honestly, i’m worried about you. what’s going on? “
- “ penny for your thoughts? hell. a dollar? ten? fifty? my whole life-savings? damn, at this rate i’d give away everything i own just to hear your voice again. “
- “ this is like, the ninth voicemail i’ve left, and i know you hate voicemails, so i’m thinking this might be the one that pisses you off enough to pick up the phone and talk to me. because despite the number of times i’ve told you to shut up, i’m actually begging you to say something, now. weird how things work out, isn’t it? anyway. pick up your freaking phone, moron. please. “
- “ will you please talk to me? please? “
- “ i have exhausted every single topic that i can think of to get you to open your mouth and say something to me. all of them. you leave me no choice… how are you? “
- “ listen, we’re all really worried about you. okay? and we wanna help you, but we don’t know how. so how about you write us a note, or something? maybe just, open the door, huh? i just wanna know that you’re okay. “
- “ you’re not alone, you know. you’ve got people who love you. who care about you. you’ve got me. and i’m not going anywhere. “
- “ look, i don’t know what happened to you. and i don’t need you to tell me, okay? i don’t… i just want you to know that i’m here. i got you. no matter what. and if you need some space, then… then i can leave. just tell me what you need, okay? “
- “ i don’t need you to say anything. you don’t even need to open the door. i’m just gonna slide this paper under the door, okay? you tell me what you want for dinner, and i’ll bring it up. “
- “ i’m sending you on a list of therapists and group support meetings in the area, okay? you don’t have to go, but… promise me you’ll take a look at the list, right? “
- “ listen, i know you gave me a copy of your key for emergencies, and this feels like an emergency, but… if the silent treatment is part of you trying to get some space, then i don’t wanna intrude. you know? so just text me if that’s what this is, and i’ll leave you alone. “
- “ i know, i know. you asked me to leave you alone. but that was two weeks ago, okay? and i haven’t heard from you. you aren’t answering my texts, you aren’t even reading them. nobody’s seen or heard from you, and… and now i just want to know that you’re okay. so please, open your door, and let me make sure that you’re safe, will you? “

❝ i’ve got you ! ❞ the words are an attempt to be comforting , but instead perhaps comes off as patronising as he YANKED the space helmet off of clara’s head && tossed it to one side . as she took a massive gulp of air , the Doctor leaned in front of her to asses where her vitals were . slightly enlarged pupils , && red cheeks that had been STRUGGLING for a little longer than he perhaps would have liked . the TARDIS was still settling behind him , having not liked being pushed too hard too quickly in several different directions . time was never an issue , except when it came to her . watching as she took in deep gulps of oxygen , the Doctor LAXED his shoulders . ❝ you’re okay —- you did well . get your breath back , ❞ he told her . striding over towards the console he looked at the screen in front of him , reading the calculations . ❝ we’re not out of the WOODS yet , but we can rest for a minute . ❞ he offered . || @venturousheart || starter call
im in the process of dying my hair atm. so, im gonna start slowly working on starters that i owe people. hope everyone is having a great day!
“ i’m not here to say i told you so, don’t worry. i’m not that cruel. i’m just here to comfort my friend. “
there is a WEIGHTED SILENCE as she chose to sit next to him on the stairs . he had heard her approach long before she spoke , though she had taken her signature heels off . call it a sixth sense . his head did not rise , instead fingers knotted together && lips pressed against them , almost in prayer . almost . he wasn’t entirely sure if he believed in a god , or any sort of ethereal deity . but he COULDN’T help but let his thoughts overturn . if only he had been smart enough . quicker . better . kinder . the man who heals people only to bring death && destruction to their doorstep . it was a CRUEL IRONY . one that he was more than aware of . head lifted just slightly as her words permeated the silence , bouncing off the walls . eyes flickering , the Doctor did not look at her as she sat down . eyes still fixed ahead . there’s an ache that wouldn’t go away . he would carry this forever . [..] till the end of his days .
the Doctor quietly unclasped his fingers , reaching over && taking her hand in his . just HOLDING it until he could ground himself in his body once more , could feel his hearts && the world spinning underneath his feet . he kept his eyes forward , unsure if he could even look at her . unsure if he could face that yet .

hand grasping hers , he nodded for a second before then speaking . ❝ i’m ALRIGHT , ❞ his voice cracked . ❝ i’m always alright . ❞ || @timesense
