[ he wants to sabotage this so bad but he will be a good bestie… a part of him knows it'll inflict psychological damage onto himself, but he's also curious what kind of people thorns will swipe right on? people who seem like they're intellectually stimulating? older men and women?
thorns has every right to be scared because he spends the next thirty minutes working on this thing both fervently writing up his profile and cropping and editing pictures from the wedding. everything about it is a rather charitable interpretation of thorns? so charitable that it's probably more than mildly embarrassing to read through. ]

[ the farmer just assumes that the exhaustion from their travels is finally really hitting them so they're settling down... it is such a charitable thought and very wrong.
thorns slides a second finger in, not paying mind to anything but elysium. hi. ]

[ shaking
this is taking so long that thorns eventually just leans over, his headp brushing against elysium's shoulder as he peeks to see what he's doing. this is really such a bad idea... imagine people reading this and then they are forced to actually interact with thorns. ]
Did you take this long on yours?

[ why is this the second time they've done this in the span of a day. but what else is elysium supposed to do when handed an opportunity to worship thorns? not take it? impossible.
so, he presses a kiss into every other fingertip in turn, unhurried and with all the time in the world, before trailing his mouth along the length of thorns' hand. lips lingering at the heel of his palm, his breath fans across his skin, softly sinking into every crease, down to his very pulse beneath the surface. thorns deserves to be cherished like this, again and again, however many times as he'll allow, as this is what elysium is meant for.

[ THEIR BAKING SHOW
he just leans back until they're pressed against each other, head and shoulders aligning in a quiet fit. okay. he makes thorns sound like such a generous guy (he is!).
at some point, elysium glances up, only to realise their faces have ended up inches apart. he looks back down to his phone. he will not think about it and instead concentrates his energy where it's important. ]
My pictures speak for themselves. [ no. ] What, you think I'd half-ass yours? I wouldn't sabotage my bro like that. I told you; I'm backing you all the way.
[ he is sabotaging him just by presenting to the world a version of thorns that doesn't exist outside of their friendship, but like. he is just infinitely more stupid in this au i'm sorry. ]

[ he is truly just describing an entirely different person because thorns will not let other people get away with what he allows elysium to. it's fine. some people are into tsuns...?
thorns doesn't move away from him, even when he stops paying attention to what elysium is typing. he notes that he smells nice and wonder if it's the shampoo or something else. he also notes that he should not be thinking about this. ]
They'd be disappointed once they actually meet me.

[ well
let this be a lesson on why you don't make out in the back of a moving vehicle and on roads that aren't well-maintained at that. imagine if they were actually kissing and thorns bit him hard enough to bleed. that would be the saddest way to contact oripathy.
instead, he just ends up bumping against thorns and sprawled across his lap. ow. ]

[ other people like where is the dere in this tsun after excavating for a month ]
They just need to get to know you. And if they can’t even manage that much, then they deserve to miss out especially after it's been spelled out for them. Idiots.
[ it's not like he doesn't know what thorns is getting at. across every universe, he thinks thorns is too antisocial for his own good… but he also believes it's more of a time investment, a trust thing. anyone nice to thorns, thorns will be nice back. which isn't entirely wrong, but not entirely right, either…
the key is to be annoying. relentlessly, insistently annoying. and not just for a day, a week, or a month. who even has the patience or tenacity for that? everyone should, if the person in question is thorns. idiots!!!!!!! ]

[ love is pain....?
thorns rubs the spot that got hit. specifically, he is rubbing elysium where he got hit because that's his poor baby!!!! his ouchies.
they are so dramatic and for what. the farmer apologizes and wonders how strong they actually are. ]
You okay?

[ his bias
unfortunately not everyone does though. and most of the people he gets along with are also fairly quiet in their own right, but that's probably why elysium was the one elevated to best friend status and not them. it's difficult to really open up to someone if they are also just standing there.
thorns realizes they can probably sit normally now. he still does not move. ]
Uh huh. Well, I guess we'll see how it goes.

[ this is going so much further than he had planned. he was going to do the bare minimum profile and idly check it so that elysium won't figure him out... but now work is getting put into this? is he expected to actually go on dates?
horrible. ]
Can you show me yours?
horrible. ]
Can you show me yours?
[ that is so ambitious since it would involve going further than the baseline of saying hi and into actively making plans. elysium doesn't expect thorns to get that far, but maybe he'll be unpleasantly surprised… ]
… Sure.
[ he just gives thorns his phone. besides scien, he is talking to like two other people… there are already several conversations he's already bowed out of… one of them can be the mad scientist horse girl and idk you can curse me with whoever else i'm dying here!!!!!!!!! ]

[ it's diluc, wow
he at least doesn't read the actual contents of the messages, but it is interesting to see. thorns should feel happy that elysium is doing his best to live life and find something nice for himself, but there's a part of him that is only reminded of what he messed up.
he finally moves, but it's not away. he fully rests against elysium. the contact is nice. ]
... mm. [ ... ] You're missing the show.
[ so is he. ]

[ YOU WANT HIM INVOLVED IN EVEN MORE GAY DRAMA? this is how thorns learns the existence of second lead syndrome; he's about to be the one that's terminal in this au…
regardless, he settles back as this is normal between friends. maybe not normal between them, but it's easy enough to convince himself otherwise. they slot together so naturally there's that tinge in his chest, again. ]
I think I missed an entire episode. Who got eliminated…?
[ don't think he doesn't notice what you're doing… thorns… but he just gets the sense that he's shy, so he leaves it at that, letting him breathe instead of pressing it further. why do they actually need alcohol in them to get anything done they are so pathetic. ]

[ he did not protect elysium at all costs when he was bad touching his feathers. hello. but that was so long ago and there have been so many kisses between now and then he's completely forgotten about thorns' betrayal. ]
Yeah. I think it'll feel better after you give it a couple of tries.
[ in a way, it does sell the illusion that they're two stupidly in love men on the run for love. while it isn't a lie, it isn't the entire truth. oh well. ]

[ the way alcohol is how [redacted] happened too, they are so deeply useless without it to jumpstart anything.
but thorns will helpfully explain who got eliminated, who was close to it, and who got star baker... all you need for a summary. the entire time he is fully aware that he should move but he has no idea if this might ever happen again, with elysium actively trying out dating. he never really saw himself as an opportunist but here we are. ]
Now pay attention.

Now pay attention.
[ okay he had to touch them like that!!! elysium is the one who said they had to also get dyed!!! thorns already yearns for when the color will fade...
he will kiss his boo-boo, and the farmer will warn them of any upcoming holes; they had forgotten that the two newbies are not familiar with this road. eventually, they pull into a small town. the farmer explains that their farm is close by, just a fifteen to twenty minute walk west and the two of them are welcomed to stop by or stay if they can't find somewhere to sleep for the night. while there is an inn, it isn't as busy as the ones you'd find in a larger city so they also operate as a restaurant. they'd probably be delighted to see the two. ]
Let's look around?

Let's look around?
[ they're going to have to do it again and elysium will lock himself up in a bathroom like thorns did that one time he had to [redacted]… that was traumatic… ]
Let's check out the inn first, see if they're open to hiring us for food and lodging. After that, we can look around for other ways to actually make money. [ … ] Some stability would be nice, yeah?
[ his gaze follows the direction the farmer had pointed, and the next part slips out under his breath, not meant for thorns in particular. ]
… I wonder if they have any Messengers working here.

[ the way thorns had to be strong-armed into being a pirate like they are just deeply useless in general when it comes to rocking the boat. in elysium's case, no problem stirring up others, though… terrible.
but so many of their moments skirt the line between platonic and not, the difference hinging entirely on context. what elysium thinks is that now that everything has been laid bare, there's no real path toward romance left, the door feels firmly shut. he glances as the top of thorns' head, then moves his gaze back to the tv. really, the ache he feels now is nothing compared to their earlier days. ]
You're surprisingly intense about this. [ except everything he sees feels like it's doomed for failure in thorns' hands. hmm. ] … What if we made banana bread? We could even add protein to it.
[ how does one screw up banana bread ]
