�He�s late.�

�By ten seconds.�

�He�s never late.�

�He�s always late. He
comes here straight from work.�

�You�re right.�

�Jay, between the two of us, I should be the one on the edge
of my seat, not you.�

Jason let out a sigh and sank back into his chair. �I just want this to work out for you. How can you be so calm about it?�

�I�m a psychiatrist, Jay.
I�ve come to learn that being worried isn�t going to help.�

�Yeah, well I am too and I know that too and I�m still
worried.�

�That�s just because you love me.�

Jason�s response went unheard when the door opened. Jason, a secret closet fan of romance novels,
was expecting something dramatic. A hand
stuffed with roses, or dark circles under Seto�s eyes that spoke of sleepless
nights. What arrived was just Seto,
dressed as usual in his suit, already loosening his tie, and looking slightly
frazzled from work.

Joey stood up. �Hey
Seto, we�ll be in room eight today. Jay,
you can go on home if you want to.�

�Like hell,� Jason said under his breath.

Seto smirked at him on the way past, and Jason glared.

Seto had become rather attached to room eight, and for a
brief moment he regretted that he would probably never be back in there.

�I did my homework.�

Joey nodded, closing the door. Seto took a seat on the bed, and crossed his
legs. He looked to his right instead of
at Joey. �Have you had any mood swings
since your last appointment?�

Seto shook his head negatively. Joey waited.
Eventually, the silence persuaded Seto to speak.

�Do you know the word desideratum?�

Joey shook his head.
�No, sorry.�

�The definition is to desire a need. It means to want something that you also
need, like food. But it�s
ambiguous. I like to think that it means
that you want something so badly you wish it was a need, you desire a
need. Because if you needed it, you
would always be justified in having it.�

Joey thought he knew where this was going, but he refused to
jump to conclusions. Finally, Seto
turned to look at him. �I don�t need
you. I know I need affection, but you�re
right, it doesn�t have to be from you.
So I don�t need you, just somebody.�
He paused. �But, I wish I needed
you. Because if I needed you, you would
be there, no questions asked. That�s
what you do. But I don�t need you. I just want you. Desideratum.�

Joey allowed Seto�s statement a moment of punctuated silence
before he began. �In a relationship, if
the two parties involved need each other, it�s often doomed to fail. Both are often paranoid, over protective, and
usually over bearing. They�ll grow to
hate each other for it. I�ve seen it
happen.� He kept Seto�s eyes, and leaned
against the chair he was standing beside.
�Now, if one partner needs the other, but that need isn�t returned, the
relationship is also doomed to fail.
There will never be a balance between the two. But, if neither partner needs the other,
there is a better chance. If both are
together simply because they choose to be, not because they need to be, they
can make it work. I don�t need you
either.�

Seto shifted, his legs still crossed. �But do you want me?�

Joey smiled, and crossed the room. Reaching out, he took Seto�s knees in his
hands and physically uncrossed them. �Yes,
I do.� He crawled onto the brunette�s
lap and kissed him soundly. Even when
they parted, he kept their foreheads pressed together.

�What�s this mean?� Seto asked.

�It means you found somebody outside of your therapy to give
you affection. It means you are no
longer Dr. Aurulent�s patient. And it
means tomorrow you better call Joey at his house and ask him to dinner.�

�Not now?�

�Not now, Dr. Aurulent is working now.�

�But isn�t this my last appointment?� Seto asked, looking
sly.

�Yes,� Joey said slowly, trying to figure out where Seto was
going.

�So, the moment I walk out of here, I�m no longer Dr.
Aurulent�s patient. And if, say, I were
to wait in the parking lot, and happened to meet Joey there, could I ask him to
dinner then?�

�I suppose you could do that,� Joey answered, kissing Seto
again. �As a doctor, I will miss you;
you�ve been a delight of a patient.�

�Hmm, I bet.�
Laughing, Joey climbed off of Seto.

�That�s it for today, you�re free to leave.�

Seto hesitated. �Just
because I�m dating Joey doesn�t mean Dr. Aurulent is going to stop working,
does it?�

Joey bit his lip. He
was hoping that little catch wouldn�t come up until at least the third
date. �No, it doesn�t. This is what I do, Seto, and I can�t give it
up.�

Seto shook his head.
�Don�t, it doesn�t matter. I
don�t care what Dr. Aurulent does, just as long as Joey is mine.� He crossed the room to the door. �It was nice to meet you, Dr. Aurulent.�

Joey laughed at him when the door shut, and waited just a
moment before following. Jason
practically jumped on him when he came out of the hallway.

�Joe, he just left, what happened? Do we need to catch him?�

�No, Jay, we don�t.�

�So, how�d it go?�

Joey smiled. �Seto is
no longer Dr. Aurulent�s patient.�
Jason�s face fell. �Would you
mind closing up for me? Joey wants to go
meet his boyfriend.�

Jason glared at Joey�s back.
�You know Joe, I think referring to yourself in the third person is up
there with talking to yourself in the insanity qualifications.�

Giving Jason a wink, Joey pulled the office door shut behind
him.

End.
