[ elysium you are going to be so whiny later.

it would feel better for both of them if he got it, but thorns just sees how desperate elysium is... he shifts elysium so that he can kiss him more properly. ]


My love, it will be my turn to carry you everywhere.

[ thorns ignores him and takes him to elysium's room. he will remove any clothing that's extra, like his shoes and if he's wearing a jacket, and then tuck him into bed. he should probably shower if he was in a lab all day but he feels like elysium might actually pathetically fight him on that one, so he'll save it for the morning. ]

I'm going to go get a washcloth. Stay here.

[ as if he can go anywhere ]

[ maybe thorns should stop enabling him has he thought about that

he could refute what thorns is saying with actual words, but no. where words fail, actions speak louder, the logic behind kissing him long and hard is to distract him from doing anything else.

what does he mean by trying to leave him? unacceptable. as unacceptable as being unable to carry him everywhere.

[ this is so loving………

too bad elysium isn't appreciating it properly because he can, actually, go somewhere! from the other side of the apartment thorns will hear a loud thump.



he ends up on the floor…

[ banned from walking to where they left their clothes...

thorns kisses him back, pressing himself firmly against elysium. should this be more of a concern? yes, but at this point they've had so many questionable encounters that this is typically normal for them. and as long as elysium gets what he wants then that's what matters. ]


Is there anything else you want?

[ yeah who needs clothes not them

thorns is such a terrible influence, but being this close has its benefits. he can press in, hips to hips, as he kisses him.
]

Just you. I only need and want you.

[ wanting all of someone is a tall and insane ask, but. here they are! ]

What about you?

It's right in front of me.

[ he pulls his face back just so that he can nuzzle it against elysium's, sighing contently. people struggle trying to find the meaning of life, when thorns thinks it's not that difficult to figure out–he's holding onto it right now. what else is life but this, this person, pressed against him?

he grinds their hips together. ]

the intent is to grab thorns by the shoulders. reality: his hands end up fisted dramatically at his chest instead.
]

Are you going to ghost me?

[ is that why he wants to make it tomorrow? he's going to wake up and thorns will be missing? his bags and everything else gone? can't believe thorns is about to drag up his drama like this. unbelievable. ]

Good answer. [ he moans with the friction, jutting his hips back to meet thorns halfway. ] … I love you.

[ less than a week ago they'd pretty much implied this would be their last romp together, one to make it count. one to remember. yet, is it really going to be that simple? they've found reasons to live, they've tasted happiness at its peak, and already elysium struggles with letting go, even if it's just thorns stepping into the room next over.

they're doomed. but in this moment, they're still caught in the high of life itself. after everything, don't they deserve that much?

[ this is how elysium ends up clutching thorns' hands, pressing them tight against his chest. he's swaying as the world won't stop spinning, but they can ignore that.

the real crime? thorns doesn't even have the chemicals to knock him out.
]

I know you don't like talking about what's bothering you, but it's better than trying to pretend nothing's wrong! I know you!! If you hate me, just say it already!!!

[ what did scien do to him ]

I love you, too. More than anything. I was put into this world to be held by you, Elysium.

[ they slot together so well, so perfectly, that why else would they exist? the sun sets and rises every day just for them, because it's trying its hardest to imitate elysium's smiles.

(this is deeply delusional.) ]


Aren't we lucky?

It'd take more than misfortune to keep me away from you. I was born to find you, too.

[ if there's one truth elysium's learned across his countless loops, it's this. no one is more relentless than him——for better or worse. thorns is destined to die? he's destined to die? absolute bullshit. he'll fight it again and again until the end of time.

the lesson here: this is why ships should only ever have one delusional person. when both are equally insane, this is the result.

[ tears up

into elysium's room they go. thorns tucks him in again, and considers just leaving. but then he realizes that might not stop elysium just crawling out of bed again and they'll just have a repeat... so he slides into bed as well.

it's fine. he can just leave once elysium is in a deep enough sleep. ]

[ thorns with the uno reverse on abandonment issues…

but. okay. there is no clinging throughout the night as he has not been conditioned to do so. just before sleep pulls him under, he mumbles:
]

I'm glad… you're in my life again… I owe you for this.

[ and then he promptly knocks out, grip slackening. thorns is free to do as he pleases. asshole. ]

[ they aren't bothering anyone until they are. this is typically where the narrative would put them in the way of what they once stood for, but for now, they're still on their honeymoon. it is against the law for any couple to be interrupted on one—that's just how the world works. ]

I don't want to take my eyes off of you.

[ he tilts his head, brushing a kiss to thorns' cheek before trailing his mouth down to his collarbone. his gaze flicks upward; he's so used to looking down at thorns from above that even this angle feels novel. sometimes being a bottom has its perks (citation required). ]

[ help. well it feels awkward to leave after that.

thorns will just check elysium's temperature again... if he feels warm he will get up, but it's only to get a washcloth to place over his forehead. he sits back down on the bed to watch him, which is a very non-gay activity to do. ]
