Sometimes, people tell me random things and then stories happen. Like that time a friend told me to write a Doctor Who stapler monster. Stuff like that

“I know,” he says. “I know not to get caught.”
“Knowing not to and knowing how not to aren’t exactly the same thing, Freckles.”
He huffs.
Is it weird that I love it almost the most when the Doctor does things like huff and puff and pretend affront at things Rose says? Because I almost do. It's almost the most adorable thing in the world. I MEAN FRECKLES LOL SORRY.
Not taking his eyes off the telly, he rolls up the loose sleeve of the jimjams and shows her his arm. The marks are surgical, not oral, and that buzzing is back in her ears.
“What happened?” she asks, barely a breath.
He shrugs like it doesn’t matter.
She touches his arm, doesn’t know what to do.
He turns his arm over, catches her hand in his.
They watch the next episode like that.
Just rereading that to quote it here made me cry again. kjndshzioifp;l,men jsfjopl;w3e,
Also, HAND HOLDING. Finally. I am surprised they withheld this long.
When she goes to fetch it, she leaves his door open. When she comes back, he hasn’t moved.
These little striiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiides. Come on, Rose. You can do it.

Yeah, he has a past. Oh boy, does he have a past. Because, y'know, tragic past is kinda obligatory for AU New Who. At least it is with me. We'll get to that later. I wanted to make sure we had a mention of it before the end of this arc, though, because there's a mention earlier on of Rose wondering how old he might be and then touching on the whole force-grown Flesh thing (like Chip, the force-grown clone of New Earth). In her mind, Freckles just happened one day. He was tested at the factory, rejected due to the pressure issues, and then he wound up at the shop where Jackie bought him. He's childlike and curious. He's so very sweet. Her affection for him is initially based on this very shallow image, reflected by her choice of reading material for him. He looks like an adult, but he's just this big kid, right?
Dead wrong. It scares her beyond belief to know. Her angry freakout of everything that could happen to him, and it already has? Makes her feel helpless.
There's also the aspect of him having a past and therefore having secrets. They've never discussed anything serious, but she thought it was because he never had anything serious to discuss.
Also, HAND HOLDING. Finally. I am surprised they withheld this long.
Not much call for it with them just sitting around in his room, really.
