The psychiatrist who dispenses his medicines is perky and cheerful, with a sunny smile and bobbed pink hair. Every time he sees her, Red wants to break something over her head, like a Scythers blade, but he always smiles and nods and pretends to be happy when he leaves, because otherwise, theyll send him to someone else.
Besides, hes not depressed, not really, though it has more to do with Lance than with any medications.
To be happy, one needs human company. Lance is very good company.
Of course, their relationship happens to revolve around battling and sleeping together, but its a lot better than nothing, and he thinks that underneath it all, Lance really does care for him.
Thats nice to know.
Its almost normal, being with Lance, who doesnt stick him on a pedestal and expect him to save the world, or stare at him with an adoring fangirls eyes.
Its really the pressure of responsibility that really drives Red crazy. He likes battling and training and taking care of pokmon, but when he loses all privacy and crazy fans try to sneak into his bed, it gets a little unnerving. Thats why they medicated him. Hes really not depressed at all!
He flushes the pills down the toilet now that he doesnt need them any more, and he is happy.
He just wishes he were normal.
Lance laughs and mentions that normalcy is overrated, and as Red kisses him, he has to agree.
People who are too cheerful are creepy though, and hes glad hes not like that.
Hes just himself, and he likes that best of all.
