[ don't think about how sterile it is either in another world he's getting hauled into a hospital for an infection, in the same embarrassing vein as thorns' b*tt plug incident

his eyes narrow and he grinds (or at least attempts to grind) more impatiently against thorns.

Do you need help.

[ he looks at what time it is, and then looks back at elysium. ]

So, your cancelling our date.

[ it's not even a real date and he's offended. FOR SCIEN???? at least bail on him for someone better. ]

[ thorns has not looked at the character polls… ]

What do you think'll happen if I don't show up? He almost didn't let me come back…

[ AND NOT EVEN IN THE SEXY WAY!!!!!! he does sound distressed so. there is that. ]

[ they can keep going lower

thorns glances over to where they left their belongings. it is a far enough walk that he has to really contemplate this, before deciding it will probably be fine (rip to elysium's h*le when this is over).

but he will begin to start picking up the pace. it takes a bit to find a proper rhythm in comparison to usual, and he bites down onto elysium's shoulder before muttering ]


Does it hurt?

You could just leave.

[ just walk out!!!

but he sighs, since it's really not any of his business with elysium does, and he isn't actually asking thorns to interfere here. ]


Want me to take you to your room?

[ how much lower are you going to make them go

and the answer is yes of course it fucking does? but that is not the point nor is he thinking rationally whatsoever. what matters is how desperately he needs thorns that everything else becomes secondary.
]

No.

[ to make matters worse, he moves in tandem, teeth continuing to grind themselves against each other. he would bite thorns in turn, but there is a part of him that thinks if he were to there is a real chance of drawing blood. ]

Stop thinking so much—you'll kill the vibe.

this is unhinged.

[ if elysium complains about this later he's going to jail

but he will take the not subtle hint to just keep going despite any discomfort. he quickens his pace until he finds something that works. everything is so warm? from elysium's body to the water surrounding them, it does help make everything else fade away. ]


But I like thinking about you.

[ okay well thorns can see how he feels getting fingers up his ass without l*be, then……

but the quickened pace is appreciated. he sees so many stars it's difficult for him to think through the intensity of the sensations, matching thorns in kind.
]

Mm. But all you need to think about is whether or not you feel good. [ no? ] Everything after that——will fall into place by itself.

... Right. Well. See you tomorrow.

[ ELYSIUM SHOULD HAVE ASKED FOR L*BE!!!

anyway what elysium is saying sounds wrong actually, but thorns is so absorbed with what they're doing that he isn't thinking any further than that. his movements are rougher than usual, mostly spurned on by the less than usual circumstances and elysium's annoying neediness. ]

[ that would be admitting defeat. what kind of defeat? just defeat.

but elysium is never wrong. ever. if he can't live without thorns, then by natural law thorns shouldn't be able to live without him, either. so they twist and remake themselves into unrecognisable shapes, until all they see, all they know, is each other.

quite literally? he's being torn a new one. this is fine.

Only to keep up with you. You get more and more demanding every time, mi sol.

[ .......

okay.

thorns sighs, and then lean down so he can pry elysium's hand off of him. but he will go to grab some water and painkillers, kneeling down once he returns so he is closer to elysium's level. ]


He really killed you.

[ elysium please stop being dramatic when you are going to be unable to sit after this.

he could say the same about elysium. or that elysium is even worse, except that he spins in to make it seem like he's demanding for thorns' sake, when he really is just greedy. but that greed only spurs thorns on, pushing until he sees stars and he can feel himself hit his release as he calls out elysium's name.

they're really rawdogging it in a public bath that anyone could just walk in on ]

[ if he doesn't leave their room for an entire day he can just say the journey left him exhausted… ok… it's a legitimate excuse.

and if anyone walks in when they put up a sign that the springs are currently in use, that's on them? what are they, voyeurs? his fingers find purchase on thorns' thighs, leaving deep grooves with his nails as he chases his own high.

it really has been a long day. he's exhausted, tired, near delirium above all else—but despite that, he turns to kiss thorns again which might not even have the most accurate landing point. so long as the person he's missing is thorns, the rest is less important.

Again.

You're practicing poor lab safety.

[ he is so disappointed?

thorns reaches over so he can place a hand on elysium's forehead, checking for a temperature in case he's sick? ]


If you still feel bad in the morning, I'll need you to give me a summary of what you did together to make sure you're not dying.

[ if they do not go on the date, elysium will die. if they do go on the date, elysium will die. so basically, elysium dies either way so they might as well go. this is perfect logic. ]

Nooooo… but the ground's so cool, Thorns…

[ he can protest all he wants, but at the end of the day he's still pretty much a ragdoll in thorns' hands. ]
