[ he mentally assigned the cat as thorns-adjacent that's why the betrayal stung more. he will literally never recover from this. ]

Do you have a preference?

[ the upside to a dog is that it will also force thorns out whenever elysium is gone, but he does not say this. ]

[ so he has no preference...

he stiffly extracts himself from thorns and starts walking off into the distance.

We'll pick a name when we see it.

[ so they don't get stuck with something really unfortunate on accident.

wow. adopting pets together? like a real couple. never mind that platonic friends can do this too. ]

this is how he very docilely brings his knees up to his chest and sits there in fetal position. do you ever think about how this has been their one and only source of drama for months. wow.

I guess…

[ who would've thought closing your eyes would actually help? his mind drifts, wandering into the thought that maybe this is another thing he's forcing onto thorns…… but a creature feels like it'll do them good, and it's something they'll be able to care for together?

they eat, they hang out, and they share bits of each other's world—or rather, elysium occasionally joins thorns in his, but that isn't the same as having something they can call theirs. given that, maybe a dog would be better? they could teach it tricks, take it on walks—…

this is how he ends up falling asleep first, despite wanting so bad to be the last. snzzzz

[ ...

when elysium stops talking, thorns finally peeks. this whole experience has been strange, and often filled with moments of wondering if maybe they rushed into dating considering the confession happened during questionable circumstances.

but then there's this, and thorns thinks that maybe they did it right after all. he snaps a screenshot on his phone and then feels like a giant weirdo after.

[ this would be grossly unfair if it weren't likely for elysium to get up first. instead of taking a picture, he kind of just…

watches thorns sleep? until he rolls over or makes a sound or wakes up and then he'll feel weird about it and scurry away in shame. but really, he just wants to enjoy the moment; he should be allowed this much… even if he once again has work he needs to do.

it's fine.

Keep your phone plugged in next time…

Um
Talk to you again later tonight.

[ well.

thorns is going to have to clean the both of them up at some point because he just throws his arms over thorns again.

he is… overcome with emotion… he pretty much starts wailing. does thorns know he loves him? he loves him.

Okay.
