I must say I love your writing style. It feels like you are channeling both Rose and the Doctor. Their emotions are almost palpable. The kick at the end was a painful one. I hope the TARDIS continues to help the Doctor come to his senses.
This is completely 100% true. The Doctor cannot help beating himself up over his perceived failures. As ever, the Doctor wears his guilt as plainly as he wears that ubiquitous leather jacket. And when Rose tries to look him in the eye, more often than not his gaze skirts down and off. She knows that somewhere in his dual hearts, her injuries have been catalogued as yet another of his personal failures. Always the over-achiever, the Doctor has elevated self-flagellation to the level of high-art.
I must wholeheartedly agree with the following: The Doctor is, for all intents and purposes, far too sexy to be sexless. For any creature to have a bum like that and be totally off the market ... well it should be considered a crime.
Rose, of course, is the brave one in telling the Doctor how she feels. It is heartbreaking to see the Doctor turn away from the gift that she freely offers him.
