That's not fair because how can Steven possibly not make a protein shake joke? Marc's fault for being so devilishly handsome and built like a brick wall and all that.
... And they are talking about this, yes. It's strange to be, but they are. Well, maybe strange isn't the right word. It's just. Sad. For both of them, but more for Marc. Steven can't help that twinge of guilt as he ducks his head down, fidgets with his hands a bit. "That nasty old bird..."
It wasn't right, doing that to Marc. He needed help, not to be encouraged into indulging all those nasty little vices, being pushed to do worse without second thought.
And Steven feels even worse for the twinge of anger he feels at that. I wrote back. He'd been a fool. An absolute fool. It doesn't matter what Marc intended to do, stringing him along, it's still just... desperately painful that his mum was a lie.
That he's-- a lie in a way.
A lie come to life, real to Marc sure, but... no therapist worth their weight would be inclined to agree with that, would they?
"She wasn't real, Marc. What I thought-- she wasn't any of that. She did terrible things to you... I hate that. I hate that I didn't get to protect you from it."
