[ hmmm.

he stops what he's doing for a moment to peer at elysium. ]


You're always doing things like this for me. I want to do the same for you.

[ HMMMMM.

he goes to his room and comes back to shove the bird plushie into elysium's arms, and then he leaves a note saying he'll be right back just in case elysium wakes up before hurrying out the door. ]

[ he peers back………


then steals a kiss.

I don't do things for them to be reciprocated. [ ] But it's nice that they are. Should I take it to mean I'm allowed to be greedier and greedier?

Don't make too much of a mess.

[ don't give him curly hair… ]

[ HELP?

if there's one thing that gets him to stir, it's that. his brow furrows, and then he just… ends up curling around this thing, too. luckily, he is actually too debilitated to make any complaints or stir so thorns is free to live out his breaking bad dreams.

Why would I make a mess...

[ he leans in to kiss elysium's nose and then returns to finish drying him off. next is to grab the clothes... but he will stay where he is first because elysium might strangle him if he wanders off before he gets to do anything. ]

[ thorns is a law abiding citizen?

but he has to leave fully because he does not having eveything, so it takes about an hour for him to come back to the apartment. he pokes his head inside to check on elysium again... it is now 8am which is still too early to be alive. ]

You never dry your hair properly. That's why it's always sticking out…

[ if elysium's handling thorns' whole routine now, that singlehandedly might make him more indistinguishable than the dye job itself. a Thorns with neatly kept hair and pant legs the same length? unfathomable. the one saving grace is that no one knows about his pirate getup and how he'd kind of looked put together…

still, thorns isn't wrong. elysium would kill him even with his ass in the state it's in. so, it's his turn to settle thorns between his thighs, towel in hand, carefully combing and drying him out.
]

It's fine. I'll just take care of you for every bit you don't and more. [ hmm. ] If it's for me, would you remember sunscreen every morning?

[ so now he's smuggling. okay. thorns is committing crimes and working himself to the bone, and for what…… he should've just let him die?

because now the bird is covered in snot and sweat, a tragic victim in all of this that thorns could have prevented. it did not deserve this.

... Yeah.

[ it's said in the tone of someone who definitely does not want to remember putting sunscreen on every morning, but he'll do it for elysium.

well, he had in the past, but there had been no reason in this timeline to be good about it... ]


Anything for you.

[ NO HIS BIRD... he will deal with that later.

for now, thorns is just going to fucking... try whatever the hell he just made first to see if he dies or not. if he doesn't and things seems okay then he will give it to elysium.

he goes back to the room and crawls into the bed to check his temperature. ]

My fate's in your hands.

[ similarly, said in the tone of someone who does not trust and may just go on with his regular routine anyway. but he's of mind that if he can train thorns to put on sunscreen, thorns can be trained to do anything?

what incredible use of power. after anther few minutes of toweling thorns a little more aggressively:

How are you feeling?

but it will be the worst-tasting thing in the world. it also burns as it goes down? thank you, scien. it does not feel safe to drink, but it technically is. before thorns can administer this concoction from satan (elysium is even warmer to touch somehow),




elysium sits up.

I feel like I should be asking you that...

I feel okay. Better with you.

Heheh. You're carrying me back.

Can you get our clothes?

[ elysium is soooo fucking annoying.

but thorns will just get up, carrying elysium, to go to where they put their belongings away. he will have to set elysium down here to help him get dressed before he puts his own clothes back on. ]

[ okay but before he's set down he's going to be even more annoying, leaning over to pluck thorns' shirt from the pile to try and pull it over his head. how many things can he get away with while still on thorns' back?

the answer is… not much! but it's fun to try anyway.

Were you going to let me walk? Brute. You were just saying how I'm allowed to get away with whatever I wanted, too…

[ thorns did not say this ]

I didn't say that.

[ annoying!!!

You wouldn't get far if you did walk.

You didn't?

[ sounds shocked. also don't call him useless? he helpfully hands thorns each piece of clothing when it would be easier if he just picked up himself. okay. he has an illness and it's inserting himself everywhere he can. ]

And that's only because you wouldn't let me.

... I'm glad you know that.

[ sometimes, you never know when elysium will decide to run off on his own, much to his own suffering.

but once they are both fully clothed, thorns will start heading out so they can go back to their room. he has no idea how elysium is going to feel in the morning so they'll probably have to save getting things like food for later in the day... the inn owner said they'd bring leftovers back for them so thorns will just have to trust that happened because they were busy being h*rny. ]

[ they're both such flight risks for each other that it evens out that neither are willing to let the other out of sight. elysium especially so when he has no stalker cheat codes to speak of?

but that isn't a current problem. what might be a current problem is how it almost feels like he's daring thorns to slip up with the way he kisses along his neck the entire trek back. when are they not busy being h*rny.
