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?

[helpdesk_hero]

You’d manipulate anyone to do anything if you felt it served you. And here you think it would serve the end of putting me back under your thumb. Hard pass.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Seriously? Seriously?

[He's appalled.]

There are so many other better ways for us to find common ground. Of course this would push you further way! Do you think I'm stupid?

[helpdesk_hero]

I think you’re an addict and manipulation your drug.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Why would I want you to kiss me?

[helpdesk_hero]

And now you're looping back through to a question I already answered.

[mysterioisthetruth]

You didn't answer it satisfactorily.

If I wanted to keep you under my thumb this wouldn't be the way I'd do it.

[helpdesk_hero]

Bite me.

[And he walks off once again.]
