as it must be said, the knife set is left in the kitchen. ]
Is this a hole ourselves up for an entire weekend situation?
Ohhhh. For when I start taking pity on you and want to give you more chances, you mean. Sure.
[ OKAY.
this does bring to attention the overall state of thorns' room. him having a seemingly disorganised mess is nothing new, but it's possible for it to be even more reflective of thorns' current mental state and his lack of self-care.
elysium's gaze follows thorns for a touch too long before he remembers he was doing something with a curtain rod. ]
We should do some decluttering while we're at it. If we're adding things into your room, it makes sense that we take things out. Or at least, put things in a more organised manner…
[ once again, thorns is unaware of whatever delusions elysium is forming in his head. he just thinks, oh yeah he guesses he let this place get messy. sometimes there are just too many things that are a higher priority than cleaning your own space. ]
[ for talking about seducing each other in maid outfits before they parted, neither of them are doing much of any seducing in any maid outfits in either of the threads…
unfortunately, elysium does not know about any of this. which is why he's able to say, so confidently and wholeheartedly— ]
Maybe I am! I should find a uniform to get in the spirit. Good idea.
[ when being in love with your best friend is considered abnormal. okay…… ]
I can buy one for myself! Long skirt? Short skirt? Heels? No heels? [ he's very clearly talking to himself. ] Hmmmm. It all goes back to form or function. Or… form and function? I should ask for second opinions.
[ if thorns followed through with his impulses the world would be a better place. ]
You reaaaaaaaally don't think I can pull it off?
[ their string of misunderstandings and miscommunication continues to evolve at an unprecedented rate. his hands settle on his hips, cheeks puffed out. ]
Okay. [ to the snacks. then, entirely unrelated to the snacks— ] Be ready for me to prove you wrong.
[ he thinks this will be a funny distraction rather than something that he actually needs to prove. never underestimate his commitment to the bit. ]
thorns probably won't clean this place completely by the time elysium is back because half of it is going to be him going 'no i need this thing in this very specific spot for no real reason' ]
he lingers in the doorway for a few seconds, visibly deliberating whether it's really all right to leave thorns even for half an hour. ultimate, he decides that's far too clingy, even if the other person is lonely. so, as he disappears through the doorway— ]
… You know how to reach me if you need me. I'll be quick!
and then as soon as elysium is gone, goes through a crisis where he wonders why is this happening to him. he settles on that elysium is joking and really will just return with only snacks and that lets him move... to stares at his mess... ]

but back to the ship they go, and they can drop off any purchases as they go, although the majority of it will be headed for thorns' quarters. ]
Should we get snacks?

[ okay.
but he will go with no snacks, then. thorns has to dig for the chess set... sometimes things are buried under junk, but he eventually pulls it out. ]

... Later, sure. If you don't mind.
[ elysium... this is so much work... ]
no subject
[ he is taking time off work to do more work yippee ]
If you're tired, take a nap. You can give these curtains a trial run while you're at it.

thorns can't be weird about this because if he were normal (not in love with his bestie) he would not have any real reaction to that. ]
I'm not buying one for you.

[ they are also the only person who, unfortunately, does not leave elysium on read. for better and for worse. ]

...
thorns just starts cleaning up without responding to that. ]
no subject
[ sets these poles to the side. ]
I'll get you your snacks while I'm at it.
no subject
[ WHAT
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ]
no subject
[ like it's a duh. ]
Did you want to come with me?
[ for all intents and purposes, at this point in time it is still a joke. a joke perhaps taken too far, but a joke. ]
no subject
so thorns just shakes his head. ]
I feel like if I go with you, you're just going to spend more money.
no subject
You'd probably go for something short. Less to get in the way, right?
no subject
thorns really figured if this ever happened, the context would be a lot sexier than it is now. now he just wants to strangle elysium. ]
Make sure whatever snacks you buy won't dirty our hands.
[ the chess pieces. ]
