Rider found Pyxis siting by herself in the common room and flopped down next to her. Things had been easier for him lately and he was starting to hate everyone a little bit less. He knew he had Pyxis to thank for it. He wrapped an arm around her. "You telling on my cousin or half-brother or whatever the fuck he was really made them lighten up on me."

He looked down at her. "Sorry about your friend being put away for close observation or whatever they're calling it. How's the half-brother of mine that you're fucking?"

	"He's your cousin." Pyxis pointed out as she looked up from the three month old magazine she was reading for the sixteenth time. She eyed Rider for a moment, then sighed softly and put the magazine down. "Walden is great. But, you don't have to thank me." Pyxis shrugged and brought her knees up. "Thoreau is going to hate me."

"Maybe." Probably. Rider looked down at Pyxis when she curled up on the couch next to him. She didn't seem very happy about Walden or her thing with Thoreau working out the way she'd wanted it to. "You wanted Thoreau and Rooney to be separated, didn't you? I thought that was the point of telling Walden about them."

He ruffled her hair. "It's Thoreau's fault he's in this mess. If he blames you, he's an idiot. They were going to get caught eventually."

	"This is what I wanted. I just didn't want Thoreau to hate me." Pyxis admitted and glanced up at Rider. She shrugged. "It's all just really... I don't even know. I wanted Thoreau to be safe and he's not going to understand that. Because he wants to die." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rider looked at Pyxis for a moment, then made a face. "I'm shitty with feelings. I don't know what kind of thing you think I should say to... all this." He gestured at her. "Walden will tell you it's better this way or something though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pyxis 2012-09-01 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes. He already told me that." Pyxis nodded, looking down at the coffee table in front of them. She ran a hand through her hair, playing with the ends of it for a moment, then let out a bitter laugh. "I think I felt better when I wasn't getting better." Pyxis confided in Rider and shook her head. "How is that even possible?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Rider shrugged. "I'm here for the long haul," he pointed out. "I'm never going to leave. I couldn't tell you. But I've seen people leave and getting better means feeling better, but sometimes that means letting yourself feel shitty too. It doesn't really surprise me. You're not fucking everything that moves as soon as you feel bad now. That's something. Sad for me, though. I still want to fist you."

	A laugh escaped her and she shook her head. "You're disgusting." She informed him and then cast a gaze at him. She smiled for a moment, then leaned in and pressed their lips together. "Your first is too big. It would hurt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rder 2012-09-01 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	Rider gave Pyxis a fond smile. "I'd have fun trying to fit it in," he told her. "You'd have fun while I tried to get it in too. You'd get fingered. I bet I could make you squirt if you gave me the chance." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pyxis 2012-09-01 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	Part of Pyxis really wanted Rider to try. It didn't matter how she felt about Walden. When she felt like this, her mind did stupid things and it made her want to do stupid things. Like let Rider touch her. "Where can we go?" Pyxis asked as she looked back at Rider, giving him a serious look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rder 2012-09-01 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	Rider gave Pyxis a surprised look. "To -- are you serious?" He frowned at her. "I thought you were dating my brother. You don't really want to fool around with me. You just want to fuck something because that's what you do. I can't even get it up right now. I don't know if I want to play that game." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pyxis 2012-09-01 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	Pyxis looked back at Rider for a moment and frowned. "We've been in this place together for two years, Rider. I've had plenty of opportunities to get upset and give it up to you, haven't I? And I've always said no." She shook her head. "If you don't want to, that's fine. I'll go find Walden." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rder 2012-09-01 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	Rider rolled his eyes at Pyxis. "I liked you more when you were saying no, I guess," he said. "I'm not an idiot, you know. Everyone thinks I am, but I'm not. You think my life would be easy if I fucked you -- or even just fingered you -- behind Walden's back? Walden's in fucking charge. My life would be hell, or worse, they'd just drug me into a vegetable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I've never thought you were an idiot." Pyxis pointed out with a frown and shook her head. "I know you're not an idiot. You're the smartest person here. You know exactly how to get your way. You know how to work people to make them like you."

She sighed softly. "I had a crush on you. For a really long time. I just like monogamy and I knew you'd never let me have that."

	rder 2012-09-01 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	"You're right," Rider said. "I wouldn't. But if you like monogamy so much then you probably shouldn't be offering to let me try and fist you when you're dating someone. I think he's an idiot for getting involved with a patient, but you're still together, and I assume it's because you care about him or whatever." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pyxis 2012-09-01 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	Pyxis grumbled at that. "Stop being so reasonable. You're not supposed to be reasonable. You're Rider Fucking Macnair. You give no shits and do whatever you want. What happened to that boy?" She bumped his shoulder with hers and then leaned in, kissing him softly again. "Come on." She said, taking his hand and standing. "We're going to Walden's office." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rder 2012-09-01 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	"I still don't give shits," Rider told Pyxis. "Maybe I just don't want to fuck you. Someone thinks awfully highly of themselves." He stood when Pyxis took his hand. "Fine, we'll go, but I'm not going to fist you over his desk no matter how much you beg." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pyxis 2012-09-01 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	Pyxis looked back at Rider sadly for a moment when he said what he said to her. "I always assumed that you wanted to, since you tried so hard." She let go of his hand and shook her head. "You don't have to talk to me, Rider. You don't have to hang out with me if you dislike me so much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rder 2012-09-01 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Pyxis, shut up," Rider said, sighing and rolling his eyes. "I wanted to. I still want to, but I don't want to fuck things up for you because I like you. Not just as a place to potentially stick my cock. You're... You know." He shrugged. "People don't normally actually see past stuff to me and you do. So we're friends. Stop being a girl. You're making me one too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pyxis 2012-09-01 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	"You are a girl. You're a huge pussy." Pyxis told him as she dragged him into Walden's office, holding onto his hand. She looked Walden over as he sat at his desk, sitting in one of the chairs across from him. "I made Rider a girl." Pyxis informed Walden, crossing her legs. "Isn't that right, Ri?"

"Fuck off," Rider grumbled, sitting in the chair beside Pyxis's. "Pyxis is feeling insecure because of the Thoreau thing. I think. I'm not that great at reading people. It comes with the whole psychopath thing."

Walden looked up at Pyxis and Rider and then down at the paperwork he'd been doing. He closed it. "Hello," he said. The things Rooney had said in the lift were still on his mind as he smiled at Pyxis, feeling a bit nervous about so many people knowing about the two of them. "I'm glad you two are getting along."

	pyxis 2012-09-01 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	Pyxis laughed at Rider and nudged him with a foot. "Stop being such a baby." She told him and then smiled at Walden. She looked him over carefully for a moment, then frowned. There was something off about him. "What's wrong with you?" Pyxis asked, tilting her head. "You don't seem as happy today as you normally do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

2012-09-01 11:38 pm UTC (link)

Walden looked up at Pyxis and shook his head. "There's nothing wrong with me," he said. "I'm just concerned about Thoreau and Rooney right now. I think maybe Thoreau should be the one moving up a floor and not Rooney, but it's going to be hard to convince Snape of that when Rooney was the one who got violent. They could both go to the third floor, but then they might spend time together which would defeat the purpose of splitting them up."

Walden shook his head. "Normally I wouldn't talk about other patients like this, but I know how worried you are about him."

"I have been worried about him. I know that he's suicidal, which is why he was having Rooney beat him in the first place." Pyxis sighed heavily and ran a hand through her hair. Walden was still being odd with her, wasn't he? She brushed it off.

"I think that Thoreau would benefit from being on the third floor." Pyxis agreed, then glanced at Rider. "I've never been to the third floor. What's it like?"

Rider frowned. "I fucking hate it," he said. "I'd rather be locked up down here. That's why I get locked up down here." He glanced at Walden. "But they probably wouldn't drug Thoreau into a stupor, would they?"

"No," Walden said, shaking his head. "Rooney is being kept sedated, but Thoreau isn't a threat to others. Just to himself. He'd be kept under close observation and someone would sit with him throughout most of the day. They'd work to get him better, making sure he took his meds and didn't hurt himself. He'd probably be put in an exercise class up there too. It would help him."

	"I think you should find a way to get Thoreau to the third floor. It's the safest thing for him." Pyxis moved so she was sitting on the corner of the desk in front of Walden. "What if you just had people watch the both of them so that neither of them can associate with the other?" She asked, running her fingers through Walden's hair with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rder 2012-09-02 12:20 am UTC (link)
	Walden nodded. "I think that's what I'm going to do," he said. "Rooney should be sedated enough not to act up anyway, but I think it would be good to make sure he can't." He leaned forward, kissing Pyxis softly. "I'm sorry. This isn't your job. I just know you care about him a lot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Pyxis made a soft noise against Walden's lips and shook her head. "You keep kissing me like that, you'll never have to apologise for anything." She told him with a laugh and then glanced back at Rider for a moment. She ran a hand through her hair.

"I think you should let Rider off his meds now." Pyxis told Walden quietly. "He's been on his best behaviour. I think he deserves a little fun."

Walden sighed, touching Pyxis's cheek and kissing her again. "A girl almost killed herself because she got caught up with him. It wasn't entirely his fault, but he had a lot to do with it. I can't let him off too easily, Pyxis," he said, keeping his voice low.

"I can hear you both," Rider said, frowning at them. "I don't give a fuck about Pansy anymore. I won't go near her. She's obsessed with Luka anyway."

	Pyxis looked back at Walden for a moment and sighed softly. She ran her fingers through his hair. Things didn't feel right for some reason and she couldn't figure out why. She chewed at her bottom lip. "Rider won't bother her again." Pyxis promised with a shrug. "He says he won't and I believe him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm still going to see through this course of pills and then re-evaluate when it's over," Walden told Pyxis, shaking his head. "It's procedure. I can't ignore it because my girlfriend is friends with the patient we're treating."

Rider really wanted to at least be able to wank again, at least. "Fine," he said, frowning a bit. "It's whatever, Pyxis. Walden's too much of a pussy to go against Snape."

	pyxis 2012-09-02 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	"It's his job, Rider. He's still in school. He's not even an actual therapist yet." Pyxis told him with a sigh and then glanced him over. "Could you leave the two of us alone for a minute? I'll be out and then we'll play video games or something together. Okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rder 2012-09-02 07:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Fine." Rider rolled his eyes at Pyxis and then pushed himself up, leaving his chair. He ruffled her hair affectionately. "I'll see you later." Walden watched Rider leave, then turned his attention to Pyxis again. "He's really taken to you. That's good. He needs a good influence like you in his life. Is there something wrong?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pyxis 2012-09-02 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	"I could ask you the same thing." Pyxis pointed out with a frown. She shook her head. "You're acting really weird with me and I don't know what I did wrong. Did I do something wrong?" She gave him a puppy dog look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rder 2012-09-02 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	"You -- no," Walden promised. He hesitated for a moment, then sighed. "No one did anything wrong. I'm just worried someone is going to find out about us, I guess. Rooney said some things while I was taking him up to the third floor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pyxis 2012-09-02 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	"What did he say?" Pyxis didn't like that Walden was taking the advice of Rooney Macnair, of all people. She shook her head. "No one is going to find out about us. We're careful, Walden. I've only told Thoreau and Rider. They're my best friends. And Rider knows I know way too much about him for him to ever tell." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rder 2012-09-02 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	"Thoreau told Rooney, who isn't a friend of either of us," Walden pointed out, shaking his head. "And Thoreau is about to be put on the third floor for his own good. He might say something because he's upset that he'll regret later. We have to be more careful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pyxis 2012-09-02 07:55 pm UTC (link)
	Pyxis stared at Walden for a moment, frowning. "I'm not sure how much more we could be careful, Walden. Short of never talking or touching. Because, that's really all we have right now. At least until I get out of here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rder 2012-09-02 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	"I know," Walden said, sighing. "I wish it wasn't as hard as it is, but this is the way things are right now. Just make sure you don't say anything to anyone else, and maybe you should spend a little less time in my office." (Reply to this)(Parent)
