[ this is such a loving moment that only leaves thorns bewildered. he pats him soothingly and kisses the side of his face. his bbbb....

his bbbb who is overcome with emotions that thorns cannot understand. ]

[ when he's done grieving for the nth time he will quietly sit himself up and take the towels from thorns…

his turn to clean them… they do not need to talk about this ever again (read: until the next time it comes up).

[ go figure. today's picture is of more yogurt and oats! with fruit that's actually been cut up with care.

unsurprisingly, he ends up going to work in pretty good spirits. but then things explode and he's back to being murderous; he will not be heard of from for the rest of the day…

[ shaking

thorns waits patiently for elysium to finish, and then he will just take the towel back to drape over his shoulders so that elysium is very slightly less naked.

they can go back together... ]

well now that thorns has a slightly better idea of what has been keeping elysium occupied he will be more careful about bothering him. he will send him a picture of fries at lunch time. ]

but then when they're done, he just ends up toddling after thorns like he has no other purpose or direction here. he doesn't…

[ god his hair has ruined him so bad

it's fine. it's all good. they can return and thank god it is the middle of the night so no one would be deranged enough to be wandering out here. but once they are back to their belongings, thorns will just dress the two of them. ]


Let's head to bed.

Thought you would like them.
Sleep well.

[ his hair is his everything (right next to thorns of course)

also, the odds of elysium wandering off are basically zero; he's going to cling to thorns the entire night. when you lose a part of yourself, the rest of you is there to naturally fill the gap.

which is all unnecessarily dramatic, but thorns can just be his whole identity now, it's fine. never mind that he has been a significant portion of his identity for some time.

I haven't had fries in ages… it's all health conscious food over here. Gross. Isn't this what I work out for? To cheat?
Have some with me when I'm back.

That aside, are you too busy to call tonight?


[ in their time away, elysium has realised one thing: they more or less guarantee thorns actually sleeping like a normal person… they have to keep going… ]

[ have they made any healthy decisions whatsoever…

but while he's still curled up in thorns' arms, an arm shoots out to nudge docybara away.

Come back later…

[ docybara does not understand their language, so

he thinks elysium is trying to play and headbutts them both. okay.

thorns gets a selfie. yay! he's cozy in his pjs.

[ this is cute...

thorns was not going to bed and was doing work at his desk. so the ten minutes is him putting things away so that he can crawl into bed in a believable manner.

somehow the calls does work for going to bed because neither of them want to be lectured. ]

[ not the both of them being fakers…

but, well. it gets them in bed and sleeping(?) so that's probably all that matters in the end. and while continuing to wait, thorns will get another picture!

they're silly lil duck slippers… next to a pair of crow ones, noticeably still in wrapping.

[ they are not quite grown men, but they are old enough that there are people who would judge them for it. elysium couldn't care less, though. his whimsy… his impulse purchases… the real danger is thorns not saying it was a waste of money so

he feels encouraged. oh my god. they're about to end up with so many knickknacks. but thorns gets a lil wave when he picks up.

It's getting chilly and you get cold easily. [ immediately explains himself next. he sounds so proud of himself. ] Have you been dressing warm?

Yeah...

[ his definition of dressing warm and elysium's are likely not the same however. but he nods his head anyway. ]

What about you? Did you even pack jackets?
