[ thorns not wanting anything weird to happen to their lives while simultaneously inviting just that. okay. ]

Right. I forgot. Would've been pretty awkward if one of your family stumbled on my profile before we decided to break up, huh?

[ tilts his head the other side. he assumes thorns will eventually resort to it. ]

I'll just close it. It was losing its novelty, anyway. I don't need dating apps when I can chat people up on campus.

[ this is such an escalation. thorns is also ignoring the noise, the reason of them being here a much lower priority than whatever is happening right now.

elysium deserves to hang upside down so much right now. ]


Do you hate me?

[ don't just stop using it. elysium wants to fake date so bad.

thorns goes quiet again, staring outside before his hand reaches out to gently tap elysium's on the wheel. ]


Stop the car.

[ they are currently known as the very cute and very in love couple who went through it all in order to be together. don't ruin it for them, thorns… tehre are people they have convinced that love is real. ]

How could I hate you? [ he brushes another kiss over thorns' mouth, lingering close enough so his breath fans against it. ] You're my everything.

[ if they want to be technical the very reason they're here to begin with is to be together. it only makes sense that this is their priority right now? maybe there's someone in this village that will be able to help them; this is just not right. ]

It's not fair that you got to feel every part of me. [ is voice takes on the faintest whine as he impatiently presses a leg between thorns'. there's that friction; he has to fight the smug smile threatening to bloom. ] I want to feel you, too, Thorns.

[ surprise. it's his begging. a branch snaps in the distance, now. this is about to be interrupted and he knows it……… ]

[ fake dating but he's convinced he can be normal about it because he is totally getting over thorns

that is an odd ask when they're less than ten minutes away from their place, but okay. he finds the next most convenient spot to pull over.

Do you need to go?

[ glances outside. look. he made sure to find bushes. ]

[ this is such brat behavior

thorns ignore the sound, which is definitely one of the things they teach you not to do when you're hunting in the woods. instead he just presses more against elysium and, in turn, his knee. he shifts so that his mouth can nibble on elysium's ear. ]


You are so needy. I'll do whatever you want.

I didn't want you to start driving again.

[ he just did on his own...

but thorns will just quietly unbuckle his seatbelt to step outside of the car. there is absolutely nothing scenic anymore about the view, but he still glances around as if there is.

still, it feels like the moment from earlier is long gone, much like many other moments of vulnerability. thorns doesn't really care what his family things because if they annoy him too much he can simply block them, but he's aware elysium cares. ]

You should've said something earlier. [ the view SUCKS!!! ] Mm. My bad…

[ okay. well. unless thorns offers more context, he'll just assume this is a moment thorns needs to himself for whatever reason. he won't ask—he isn't sure if thorns would even want him to—so he simply leans back and waits, making it obvious that he is, hands folded on his lap. ]

[ he's a brat i wish i could tell you he isn't.

but he resigns himself to this on day one of their supposed return to society, knowing full well they don't have any more privacy here than they did before hitching the ride back to it. the path they're on now is comparatively well-kept, likely by hunters from the village.

obviously they'd know better than to go out today. obviously, obviously.
]

You get off on me being desperate. Why do you think I'm like this?

[ a larger burdenbeast pokes its nose through bushes. it's not walking towards them exactly, but it's padding along their periphery. are they ignoring prey that's basically approached them rather than the other way around…?

[ he actually looks back into the car like he's waiting for elysium to join him. but then he doesn't, so he just turns his attention back to these ugly bushes and a trash can. nature is so beautiful.

You're over-complicating it. I get off on you.

[ elysium could be wearing sweatpants and thorns would still think he is the most desirable man on the planet with absolutely no competition after him. but sometimes you do enjoy a little spice sprinkled in.

thorns does, finally, turn to look at what is invading their alone time. he does not want to separate from elysium. ]


Can you kill that from here?

[ again, thorns could've said something earlier. what the hell.

nonetheless, the glance back is enough to tip him off…… and with a sigh only he can hear, he slips out of the car and falls in beside thorns, nudging him lightly with his elbow before his hands are going back into his pockets.

[ this is so shameless. unfortunately, elysium is into it.

what he's less into is this request. it's like when he teases thorns about solving every inconvenience with his corazonix, except elysium doesn't have any cheat abilities of his own and this feels like the exact kind of situation where it's applicable?

Can't you just throw your sword at it?

Ugh.

[ as if he didn't just suggest elysium to do something even more ridiculous, considering thorns is actually a ranged fighter. but he will create some constructs to go after this thing... it's okay... he watches it idly. ]

[ they were so eager to overachieve until they weren't.

he watches the constructs for like half a second before he turns his attention back to thorns.
]

No. [ grinds his knee against thorns' lightly. ] I realised how much I don't like sharing you. You're going to have to work hard to make it up to me tonight, bro.

[ for

turning like 5% of his attention away to do something he'd asked him to? yeah.

It's fine if you didn't want to talk about that anymore. But you were just criticizing me for rushing through things.

[ elysium really would be the picture under the word jealousy in the dictionary...

he makes no move to dissuade any of this though, because as annoying as elysium is, thorns continues to enable him despite knowing it's a bad idea. ]

What were we talking about again…?

[ trails off. plays it completely totally natural despite remembering full well how he'd left that conversation. him and his stupid baka life in this universe and every single one he's a part of. ]

—Oh. Right. I just didn't want to feel like you were put on the spot, that's all. Uh.
