[ okay.
thorns is unable to do this. instead, he just shifts so he can pull off their shoes since he was unable to while carrying elysium... and then goes to take off their suit jackets.
this just makes it seem like he is stripping them but it's fine it's fine ]

[ thorns their activities
but that's good enough for him… he tugs thorns the rest of the way down onto the bed, circles his arms around him, and just
snuggles. he looks and sounds like he's never been happier a day in his life. this is what happens when you one-sidedly pine for one guy for most of your life: you are pathetic. good luck prying him off he's putting his heart and soul into this!!!!!! ]

Should I congratulate you for doing your job?
[ every now and then, there is a reminder that thorns is rude when he is not being blinded by being a lovesick fool.
he settles back down onto elysium lap. he is not planning on falling back to sleep, but he likes the spot. ]

Yeah. [ instantly. ] I thrive under positive reinforcement.
[ don't just talk about yourself this way.
but his hand finds its way back into thorns' hair to card through again. please don't go bald? he'll cry. though, val does tell me rubbing bald heads is extremely therapeutic so many she's onto something? ]

[ giving elysium space lasted like two tags tears up
and because this is a dream he quickly kisses thorns back at a blink-and-you'll-miss-it speed. it is normal to kiss the homies goodnight as this is what wards off bad vibes. ]
Goodnight.
[ how much giddiness can be packed in one word alone? answer that and multiply it by two. that's elysium. ]

[ space is over as soon as it becomes bedtime, it seems.
admittedly this is going much better than the other time these two got drunk and gotten into bed together in another life. but thorns will just cuddle and close his eyes, seeing nothing wrong with this...
he will be overwhelmed with guilt towards kitten later. ]

[ okay but they have not been conditioned to be infinitely clingy to each other so at some point during the evening when he starts overheating he just casually rolls away from thorns and ends up on the other side of the bed
there is room for benefit of the doubt here. this can still be salvaged. elysium wakes up confused recalling almost 0 from the point of dancing onward… huh… ]

[ it's fine!! they are still fully clothed besides their suit jackets being off, and they do not appear as if they made out or anything so. safe? just two bros sleeping on the same bed together, which is not that big of a deal when it comes to both travel and alcohol.
thorns continues to snooze. ]
thorns continues to snooze. ]
[ he looks to the side
he is thinking very little but he has enough sense to crawl over to the other bed before passing out again. he does not want to think about how this happened but in order to save their friendship (that he has rocked several times already) he will do what he must.
zzzz ]

[ this could have gone a lot worse, ely... it's okay.
thorns does eventually awaken. he groggily sits up and looks to his side where he sees no elysium. he looks around until his gaze lands on the other bed, and that makes him wonder if he just dreamed the whole thing up? did they not cuddle?
if that didn't happen, doesn't it mean thorns was dreaming about it? dies ]

[ no he was going to dye his entire head black so the red tuft won't be a red tuft anymore
he hates thorns' hand away!! he does not appreciate this when thorns started the friendly fire first!!! ]
When's it going to be my turn to sleep…?
[ pulls out his trump card ]

[ tears up in thorns gaslighting himself
but ask elysium, and he will also corroborate nothing happened… he only remembers how perfectly platonic they were being. by the time thorns wakes, he's still fast asleep.
knowing he's potentially spared them both an awkward situation, he rests easy, at peace… ]

[ they know each other too well; elysium isn't even pretending to be subtle about playing him. ]
That's what you always say.
[ thorns' consolation prize is a kiss on the mouth and the most exaggerated doe eyes elysium can muster. ]
Te amo. This part of you is the cutest.
[ the part of him that lets elysium get away with everything 🥺 but now it's his turn to get comfortable, and he does the same thing, winding his arms snugly around thorns' midsection. ]

[ he is at peace meanwhile thorns is doubting his memory
but okay... his head hurts. thorns slowly crawls out of bed and goes to take a shower while elysium snoozes. he has a lot of things to think about, because unfortunately for him he did not black out so he does remember things. some details are fuzzy, especially towards the end of the night, but one thing does echo very loudly in his head.
elysium wants space.... ]

[ thorns does not agree he does not think this is the cutest!!!!
but thorns just idly runs his fingers through elysium's hair. if he tries to concentrate, he can hear the sound of the water hitting against the ship. he can even pretend it's his boat... before he snaps out of it and reminds himself it's not his anymore.
there's only one thing that matters that belongs to him, and he's in his lap. ]

[ ELYSIUM NEVER ONCE SAID HE WANTS SPACE?
calling him out for lacking boundaries is one thing, but his memory's a sieve and trying to recall past a certain point is an exercise in futility. so, it's not like he can even make the argument but take thorns' word for it, if ever. but, the sound of the shower flicking on is what inevitably stirs him awake, and the pounding headache keeps him there. at least he's clothed; that's some comfort.
more importantly—
he will drag himself all the way down to the lobby to fetch them water. never say he doesn't love you, thorns. ]

[ there are no wild dreams anymore, only the comfort of knowing he holds the entire world in his arms, and he'll stop at nothing to keep it there. the position isn't exactly comfortable, his body twisted into something smaller just to fit behind the cargo they're using to hide themselves, but that doesn’t matter.
somehow, he sleeps better than he has in weeks, certain that nothing can come between them now. not the cuna de nene, not rhodes, not anyone. thorns is his, and he is thorns'. ]
