[mm; you can't handle the truth!!]

Mar 28, 2009 23:12

Max has been wondering, lately, why Ben hasn't shown any signs of mental improvement since his "sessions" began all those weeks ago. Dr. Crane said he was one of the best psychiatrists in the whoooole country, and yet...

Ben is still totally unstable, and Max is suspicious.

This is why he's currently seated at a table downstairs with the good doctor ( Read more... )

Ben is in an odd state, as Max and Alex may have noticed. Colloquially the state is called "Cloud 9". He's more cheerful these days, more lighthearted, and everything he cooks is done with an overabundant amount of love. Amazing that it doesn't throw off the recipe!

Ben's tinkering in the kitchen now, making a red velvet cake from scratch. He might as well not have used any food dye given that the copious love poured into the cake is strong enough to turn the batch a firetruck shade of red!

(Figuratively, of course.)

It is very, very difficult to be mad at a face like that, especially when it's focused on making cake.

But Max is not relenting, this time!

"Ben," he starts, thumping into the kitchen with a pointed finger, "you - "

...

"Is that red velvet?"

"Yes," he says in that excited, vibrating voice of his. Makes him sound rather like an overexcited dog.

"Are you going to make cream cheese frost- "

DAMN IT HOW DOES BEN DO THAT?

"NO. Wait. I need to talk to you about something."

imthegoodguy March 29 2009, 04:12:57 UTC

SKILLS. Can't beat 'em.

"About what, love?"

"I talked to Dr. Crane."

imthegoodguy March 29 2009, 04:17:15 UTC

"Oh?" Ben looks and sounds completely innocent, as if he suspects Dr. Crane's spoken to Max about raising his fees or going on vacation.

"All I tried to do was get you someone who could maybe help, a little - and what do you do? You feed him total bull! What the hell, man?"

"He said that there didn't seem to be much trauma in your childhood."

"Is it just me, or does that sound a bit... not true?"

imthegoodguy March 29 2009, 04:33:04 UTC

"Well, that's...really subjective."

bythatmuch March 29 2009, 04:34:20 UTC

"Not really."

imthegoodguy March 29 2009, 04:35:30 UTC

"What's your point, Max?"

bythatmuch March 29 2009, 04:38:16 UTC

"Why did you lie?"

imthegoodguy March 29 2009, 04:44:13 UTC

"Because I have to. Because he wouldn't have believed me if I had told him the truth."

bythatmuch March 29 2009, 05:00:07 UTC

"... don't you think that's kind of paradoxical?"
