“i just want to be numb, i don’t want to feel anything.”
“Right, that’s not concerning at all, is it?”
Koschei was quiet, unsure of what to actually say to them at first. But he sighed, shifting upright in his car. “I… I know you’ve been going through… A lot of shit, Thete. But I’m not going to give you anything if that’s what you want to do. It’s not healthy.”
"You're not listening, I know when you're not listening."
It took a few seconds for the Doctor’s words to register in Rose’s mind. She was in her own world, her thoughts jumping around to a million other things besides what they were saying.
“Yes I am.” She defended, looking them in the eye and trying desperately to work out what they had just been talking about. She knew she’d been caught though, and quickly gave up. “M’ sorry.” She said quietly, her shoulders slumping. “I just can’t focus right now. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” She reached out for their hand, squeezing it gently. “Please, repeat it. I swear I’m listenin’.”
“I’m not drunk.”
“Really? Because you came in here acting like it.”
He looked up at them, closing his book.
“Just a bit, at least. Have you been drinking?”
“I’m personally offended that you didn’t get me to be your fake date.”
“Oh?”
Koschei didn’t know what to say to that at first. His cheeks were a bit red, staring down at his desk a moment.
“I-- I didn’t think you’d want to. And it’s stupid anyways, I just wanted my dad to get off my back when I had to see him...” He didn’t quite look at them, eyebrows knit as he finally glanced up. “... Oh. Were you being sarcastic?”
☆
“Mmn...”
Koschei tried to move, though had to stop short when he realized he couldn’t quite move his arm, both from the IVs in it and then the hand still gripping his.
His head turned, eyes opening slowly with another grunt. “-- Thete?” he mumbled, trying to offer a smile before coughing through how hoarse his voice was. “What the hell happened?” to be honest, he could’t quite remember, and then his concern shifted again. “-- You look awful.”
“your hair is so soft”
“Mm.”
Koschei was still waking up, eyelids heavy, still closed as he pressed into their hand. “Thanks. I don’t put loads of product in it like you...” he said with a little smile, opening up an eye to finally look at them.
A vaguely late TenToo moodboard for @nonbinarytentoo so I don’t do it to procrastinate later on in the semester tbh
❝ I’m sorry but my pronunciation must sound really bad to you. ❞ // (idk something different where tentoo is having to relearn english cos they don't have the translation circuit anymore?)
“It’s really not that bad.” he said with a smile, looking up at them, and trying to be as reassuring as he could.
“You certainly don’t sound fluent, but relearning a language will do that. If you ever want a break we can just speak Gallifreyan, you know.”
