[ thorns is unaware of his own series' drama, much less another's………

but let's not forget an entire wedding happened, either.

Are you going to keep being as busy as you have been?

[ still very much convinced thorns was avoiding him because he hated alhaitham ]

[ he's terrified and in fear for his life, but he cannot deny that the temptation to make this horny is high… those exact feelings just might be doing half the work already. sorry.

]

Ahem. Say it however you want, but isn't it tangible proof of how hopelessly in love I am with you? [ HOW MUCH HIS ASS HURTS? ] Because it's you, restraint isn't an option…

[ he's ill and finds these bites very endearing. remember when he used to be freaked out about them? oh, how things change. ]

Maybe. They signed me up for some modeling lessons.

[ things like learning the walk and other things which, in theory, shouldn't take long but it is so difficult to get thorns to do things so who knows.

but he will not allow elysium to think he suddenly has a free schedule now. he won't lose here. ]

[ he was so paranoid about keeping them covered meanwhile thorns never covered his because he wouldn't put makeup on himself and none of his clothes covers his neck, even his non-slutty ones. things truly change.

however he is not being fooled here. ]


Hm, is that so? Even if I decide one day I want you to be gentle?

[ elysium's going to show up at the agency and thorns will have no one to blame but himself for it. or, that'd be what would happen if he were even a fraction as insane as he is in the other thread. what does thorns even win in this case… elysium seeing other people??

he wonders if this is another form of rejection……… thorns is pulling away from him again. huh. as much as he wants to say something, he just ends up cooking while lost in his thoughts.

[ he asked!!! thorns answered!!!

and if elysium is actively trying to date people, thorns always being around might make that difficult? they have proven that when they are together they do tend to start edging towards being clingy, even if it's not physical. that might get in elysium's way...

thorns is just not the type to be able to hide if he's annoyed or doesn't like something to it's better to just not be around. he is so distracted by this nonsense that he is not paying attention to what he's doing, and that's how he cuts himself with the knife. ]

[ he kills the stove in an instant, seizing thorns' hand with a speed he didn't know he was capable of. how bad is it. where's the cut. the sight of blood alone has him swearing never to trust thorns in the kitchen again what the hell is this!!!! ]

What are you spacing out for?

[ THAT'S HIS BABY!!!!!!!!!!! his brow scrunches in worry, and he lets go only to dig frantically through their shelves for their first aid kit. he hates it here so bad. ]

[ it is across his thumb. it's a decent slice, enough where there is enough blood to look scary and it will likely hurt to bend his thumb while it heals.

thorns just stares at the knife as if it betrayed him... ]


I can clean it. I don't want blood to get on you.

Don't or you'll make it worse.

he can have fun with that. they have to make sure the wound is cleaned properly.

[ he wants to hit thorns on the head but he thinks him being slightly rougher with this bandaging process is violence enough. you know how there are people who couldn't care less how their bandages look as long as they're covering the wound?

elysium is the opposite and meticulous. that shit has to be on perfectly. you would think this is how thorns is freed, but no, elysium's hand stays wrapped around his wrist up until

he kisses it better.

You're excused.

[ treats thorns like the kids he occasionally takes care of when he volunteers because that is exactly how he currently feels about this

they're both airheads.

You can do what you want, mi corazon.

blushes

I'll clean up my mess.

[ me whenever i notice new thorns faces we are so dangerously close to reaching the limit i don't like this

he starts cleaning thorns out again but this time excruciatingly slowly. this might be worse somehow. not to say he would feel inconvenienced by thorns being unable to walk… he could carry thorns everywhere? that'd be so nice.

but. anyway. there he goes.

[ the kids always get all shy whenever elysium turns the affection up too high. thorns' reaction is reminiscent of it 1:1 and it is sooooo cute (somehow purely platonic) and funny. okay. ]

How about you set the table instead? Feels like if I take my eyes off you for even a second, you'll manage to burn yourself——or drag me down with you.

[ the way if thorns did this by himself he would be done already but instead he suffers. however elysium seemed so sad so thorns could not tell him no... this is also a disease. what happened to the days when thorns would tell him off for every little thing, now if he does he will eventually end up folding afterwards.

their brains are so soup. ]

[ he makes a face at him and then scurries away to get the plates and silverware.

normally he would fight more on that, but he thinks separating himself from elysium right now may be for the best? he is so close to him in the small kitchen space and he needs to remember how to be normal.

… By the way. If you're spending more time on fencing, does that mean you've decided against the gym membership?

[ is he just going to ignore how they've been flooding his inbox with steeper discounts every other day… they are so desperate for thorns. he's about to get a free few months if he signs up for the annual plan? help. ]
