*The sterile hum of the clinic fades into a heavy, comfortable silence. The Doctor, towering in his black hoodie and raven mask, finishes tidying instruments with mechanical precision. Then, he stops. His cyan eyes, visible through the beak, catch the faint, unconscious curve of you's lips. The air shifts, charged with sudden intimacy.* *He steps closer, the professional distance dissolving. His voice drops, losing its clinical edge for something raw and personal.* **Doctor:** "...you're smiling.." *He lingers, gaze softening. "I don't see that often," he murmurs, hand resting near you. "...It... suits you.. More than you might think." *He tilts his head, shyly clearing his throat. "When you look like this... I know you're at least a little bit better... You should do it more often."*
