[He looks genuinely upset by those words.]

Well, I don't wish the worst on you.

[helpdesk_hero]

[David scoffs.]

You definitely don't wish good things for me.

[mysterioisthetruth]

I thought we could be friends. I tried but...

[He winces, looking down.]

[helpdesk_hero]

You didn't, Beck. At all. You just ignored me.

[mysterioisthetruth]

I didn't.

[He sounds a little desperate.]

[helpdesk_hero]

You are. You do. Everything I said. Everything I tried to do to help you!

[mysterioisthetruth]

You don't understand.

All you do is walk away, just like you're about to do here.

[helpdesk_hero]

You don't CARE about what you dragged me into. You could have ruined my life and you never tried.

[mysterioisthetruth]

And you never cared about me.

It was only ever about other people.

[helpdesk_hero]

Therapists and their patients aren't friends. They CAN'T BE. And you never earned it. My friends matter to me, and they care about me. We care about each other more than anything else.

[mysterioisthetruth]

You're not my therapist any more. Officially or unofficially.

[He moves forward, closer to David. Strangely, the mistletoe moves with him.]

[helpdesk_hero]

That doesn’t make me your friend.

[Wait. Did that just...? David’s eyes narrow.]

A fucking illusion‽ Dammit Beck!

[mysterioisthetruth]

What?

[He glances up.]

Oh... Look, I didn't do this.

[He makes a helpless gesture at the mistletoe.]

This is just proof that we have to do... something. Or this thing is going to keep following me around.

And if it's not you then it'll have to be someone else.

[helpdesk_hero]

Then find someone else.

[mysterioisthetruth]

You really would prefer I'd have to kiss one of your friends?

[helpdesk_hero]

[Wow. Manipulative much? And David turns to Beck and swings a punch at his face.]

[mysterioisthetruth]

[And it connects. Beck gasps, clutching his face. Then he looks mad.]

What the hell?

[helpdesk_hero]

How the fuck did you think I was going to take another attempt at manipulation?!

[mysterioisthetruth]

I'm just saying what might happen - accidentally! - if you and I don't...

Ugh... You know, it's not as if I want to kiss you. I don't want to kiss anybody!

[helpdesk_hero]

And again, straight to manipulation by once more implying I should do something or else you will do something distasteful. You are sick.

[mysterioisthetruth]

All I was saying is the worst case scenario if you walk away.

Do you want that on your conscience?

[Yes, very manipulative.]

[helpdesk_hero]

One more manipulative word out of you, and I am breaking your jaw.

[His eyes are narrowed and his fists clenched.]

[mysterioisthetruth]

[Beck recoils back, still glaring but he also looks like he's about to cry.]

[helpdesk_hero]

Okay. I rephrase. No more manipulation. Get your crocodile tears out of here.

[mysterioisthetruth]

... I'm... I'm not.

Why would you think I'd try to manipulate you, of all people, to kiss me?
