[ hmm.
he turns and looks out the window instead. is it messed up that the reminder that elysium doesn't like him anymore bothers him? maybe. but all weekend he's been constantly bonbarded with the topic that he can't really help but think about it. ]
Yeah. I wouldn't want to take that from your girlfriend.

[ bits and pieces of the night before come back and he feels ill. at this rate, he really will crash out again and find a random girlfriend……
it still feels weird coming out of thorns' mouth. at the same time, what is there to do but get used to it? ]
… The best friend's speech at the wedding was pretty powerful. You better not make me cry at mine.

The fact that you'd be willing to get up there at all is amazing in its own way, man.
[ would that be enough to get him emotional? probably. he's getting emotional just thinking about it, oops. ]
But going up there just to say congratulations would be so you. It'd get such a laugh out of everyone I wouldn't even be mad.

[ and
therein lies the exact problem. the feathers almost… flutter? the longer thorns works on them, a little like they're ticklish. or sensitive. it's hard to tell. elysium is very obviously fighting not to squirm under the attention. life is hell. ]

Are reflexes something you can just turn off?
[ the feathers fluff up like they're begging to be touched, trembling faintly when they're doused instead. the closer thorns' hands get to their base, the warmer his face burns. ]
You said you'd take care of me.
[ STERN REMINDER #1 ]

Unless there's a reason I shouldn't?
[ thorns is currently of the opinion that elysium does not want thorns to meet his girlfriend, which may imply he does not want thorns involved in that part of his life. which makes sense? but it's still difficult to sit with. ]

[ his hidden complex where he thinks thorns will seduce his non-existent girlfriend ]
I just didn't think you'd be interested. You usually aren't about the people I hang out with.
[ sure, a girlfriend isn't just anyone, but at the same time—they're in college. a girlfriend's a girlfriend, not necessarily someone he'll marry. he can't help but wonder if his cousin warped his perspective on it a little. ]
Did you just want to say hi…?
[ this is so weird. his face is openly like, 'this is so weird?' but he's doing his best not to express it any more than that. ]

Uh. Never mind, I didn't think it would be that much of an issue.
[ he assumes if it was fine elysium would just say sure and take them all out to lunch or something like how he'd try to introduce him to more people in the past. so clearly, the hesitation means elysium does not want this meeting to happen.
thorns will simply never bring it up again. ]

It's not.
[ said a little too quickly!!!!!!! it IS and he is about to dig himself into a hole he can never get out of. but he also thinks this is the only means he can move on properly so
okay. ]
You caught me off guard, that's all. As long as you know what you're signing up for, it means I get to meet the person who manages to catch your eye. Wow… what kind of weirdo would that take? I gotta know.
[ if they're prettier than him he will die. if they're less pretty than him he will also die. he will die either way but there is one route where he will die less, although that is absolutely cope.
the ideal scenario? that he's actually het. that would instantly make him feel better about everything thank you ]

I knew you'd be like this.
[ he grumbles about how unfair this is, that thorns should have obvious weak points too, and that he's definitely not showing as much mercy the next time something gets stuck up his ass like this is a thing he's going to make happen.
not that the two situations are remotely comparable, but okay. some people live to be dramatic. ]

Oh...
[ he really does not think that scenario is going to happen, but okay.
the way everyone else is like wow elysium is head over heels and meanwhile thorns is just, 'he really got over me wow'
he finally stops looking out the window and turns to face elysium. ]
You'd just be disappointed.

You are so whiny.
[ it was elysium's fault that happened thorns is going to kill him
but he will do his best to get the dye in every spot of his hair. yes thorns spends more time at his feathers that is necessary, but elysium cannot prove it. so it's fine. ]

[ is this is how elysium dies in this au. he gets into a loveless marriage and spends the rest of his life pining and then i kill him… or he gets hit with hanahaki and keels over himself? goodbye. ]
You keep saying that. Should I adopt you instead? I'm not leaving you alone again.
[ idly runs his hand along the wheel. ]

[ it can be his fault it happens a second time.
but by the end of it, he is so overstimulated he's ready to snap thorns over his knee. thorns cannot kill him if he intends to kill thorns first. ]
…
[ the black hair is affecting him on a psychological level… this is his villain origin story. ]
