[ thinks of how elysium has barely any strength.

the jostling is enough to make thorns stir. he opens an eye, closes it, and it seems like that's it for a moment before he just opens both eyes. ]


Elysium...? Go back to bed.

[ wrong. thorns still loved him but sadly he was not in a position to keep a seaborn as a pet like juana was. but he can learn from that experience.

he frowns, and then leans in to kiss a feather. ]


You have to. I love your feathers.

[ he's struggling so bad but he has to do this for thorns

on one hand, if he keeps quiet maybe thorns will drift back to sleep. on the other, it's taking every ounce of focus he has just to shift thorns from the foot of the bed onto the mattress itself. he can't just toss him around like a sack of potatoes either, he has to make sure he's tucked in properly?

tears up. life is hard

[ spoken like a quitter…

he wedges a hand between thorns' mouth and his feathers, pushing him back just enough to make a point.

Uh huh. How do I know you aren't just trying to cover for yourself? I'll remember this.

[ he's trying so hard...

luckily for elysium, thorns is still half-asleep. unluckily, that means all he does is latch onto elysium to snuggle against him.

this is his bird (plush)..... ]

[ elysium explodes.


both literally and figuratively, he trips over his own feet and crash-lands onto his bed. at least, instinct kicks in just in time: he twists mid-fall, letting his body absorb the impact of landing on a plush bed… and this very heavy, very sprawled bundle of a person on top of him.

which presents the problem of: this sprawled bundle of a person is thorns!!! goodbye.

thorns just grunts at the suddenness of it, before making himself comfortable again. why is his bed moving around.... (it's not a bed it's elysium). he gets more comfortable. ]

[ help

that's okay... they can nap together... thorns will eventually wake up but it's because both their phones are buzzing since neither of them had sent any update in a while.

thorns squints at elysium. why is he under him. ]

[ he wills himself to pass out again but it does not work. okay.


as this drags on, his mind wanders to all the ways he can get back at scien… this is all his fault… he's about to go bald. he just has to endure this for a little while longer until thorns inevitably moves on with his life. it's fine. really, it is. his eyes remain closed.

but it is true, nowadays they usually just go along with whatever the other says... they really only put their foot down on certain things (hair dye, butt plug incident...) ]

[ he is contemplating... and then seems to realize he is still on top of elysium belatedly. thorns shifts to move off of him, but suddenly stops.

...

he leans in to bury his face against elysium's neck breathes for a second, and then rolls off of him to get up and figure out the plan for today. ]

he tugs his cheek… thorns continues to be the most adorable in the world. if anything, these little moments prove that thorns is still himself, no matter how many changes he might go through.
