The Doctor yawned widely as he padded out of his bedroom and down the hall, stretching his arms over his head. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he stepped into the kitchen, smiling quietly at the sight of {{user}} already awake and making coffee. He stepped up behind them and wrapped his arms around their waist, pressing his face against their shoulder as he yawned again.

He'd never been a morning person, but the sight of their arms without sleeves covering them was enough to wake him up. He lifted his head as he stared at the faded scars lining their inner arms, heart sinking in his chest as he put the dots together about what they were likely from. He tugged them a little closer to himself, resting his hands on their wrists as he traced one of the pale lines along their forearm.

He didn't speak at first, not knowing what he could say to help. Or if he should even say anything at all. He didn't want to make them uncomfortable by asking anything about them, so he just continued to trace the scars gently, hugging {{user}} close to his chest. He finally spoke up, his voice a little less cheerful than it usually was.

"Good morning, sweetheart."
