because obviously the doctor is about to blame donna for spilling the coffee, but he catches himself, backs off and apologizes. and it's not him catching himself in a "this is a pointless argument because i'm right and you aren't getting that so i give up" sorta way- because in that beat after, he isn't irritated, he doesn't start trying to figure out a way to reiterate his point. it's him catching himself in a "that was the wrong thing to say and i regret that" sorta way.
it's him catching himself becoming another one of the voices in donna's head calling her a screw up.
the black brothers! :D... (sobbing in the fetal position on the floor rn) i was listening to back to black whilst drawing this... i am so so sane about these two actually...
i made this as part of a tiktok but i am actually so impatient so u folks can have this early xx
Simon Riley isn’t ‘Ghost’ around you, he’s far from the stiff, cold persona he carved from the dead version of himself, no, he’s the Simon Riley who laughs when you trip over your own feet because you have the coordination of a newborn foal.
he’s the Simon Riley who needs to be touching you to sleep peacefully, any part of you, wether it’s your legs tangled together, skin brushing skin, or if it’s you sleeping on his arm so when he wakes up it’s completely dead, but he doesn’t care - because he’s breathing you like it’s oxygen, although oxygen could never compare to the sweet rush of euphoria you provide.
Simon Riley was revived when Ghost decided he wanted to love, and you it was.
