Proper Brilliant

The Doctor’s steps came to a stop. “You look like you need a hug.” 

Yaz took in a sharp breath through her nose and only tensed up when it sounded like sniffling. Great, now the Doctor knew that she’d been crying. “I’m fine.” Her voice was hoarse.

“Didn’t say y’weren’t, jus’ that you look like y’need a hug.” 

Yaz’s eyes stayed focused on the wall in front of her. She didn’t want to talk or show her face. She just… wanted to sit there. There was the sound of fabric rustling behind her followed by two thuds, then the soft padding that trailed up to her bed. “Scooch.”

Yaz didn’t move, eyes stinging with tears. She wanted to lie, wanted to hide away, deny that she was upset, deny that there was anything wrong, push the Doctor away. But something in her broke and she sighed. She shuffled and moved over until she was far on the other side. The bed dipped behind her and some of the tension left her.
