[ thorns turns his head just enough so he can mutter into elysium's ear, ]

What was that?

[ and then there's a buzz at their door.

their food is here... ]

Go to sleep.

[ explodes again

he just makes a pathetic sniffling noise before curling into a ball… just yesterday he was thinking he was ready to get over thorns? he's going through the stages of grief for real.



when thorns comes back elysium is conspicuously missing. he's gone into hiding in his room…

[ thorns is so mean and violent… he is back to missing his bottom thorns content, leaning forward to bite thorns' finger in retaliation. ]

Are you going to sleep with me?

[ despite everything, they're still holding hands. thorns is going nowhere. ]

[ this is weird.

thorns will wander over and peek his head inside to see if elysium is alive or not. it's kind of crazy how he went from never being in here before the wedding to basically living in this room the past few days. ]


Hey?

Except for when you don't…

[ thinks about the time thorns went on a mission alone and left him as a pining housewife. was that the last time they spent apart from each other? hmmm.

the most problematic part about this is that it's in recent memory.
]

It's okay. [ he pats thorns' head. what was it he said earlier again? oh, right. ] I'm feeling gracious so I'll forgive you this one time.

[ thorns wasn't even gone for long. how is elysium dead already.

thorns pads over and grabs the blanket to carefully lift it enough so thorns can check on him. ]


Do I need to take you to the hospital?

We're going to bed. Get comfortable.

You should change your shirt.

[ meanwhile, elysium just appreciates how perfectly their bodies slot together. he doesn't fall asleep immediately, instead listening to the sound of thorns' heartbeat and let's that slowly lull him away.

thet quit their jobs for this… disgusting… what happened to thorns saying they needed to make money. tch.

[ they are so disgusting......

anyway. since it is apparently canon that thorns' nightmares actually got better when he was out at sea. he is long overdue? so, at some point in the night, he awakens with a start, before immediately reaching wildly for elysium. ]

[ you are so kind for this

elysium startles awake, immediately on alert. his gaze flicks to thorns, and without hesitation, he gathers him into his arms, checks his warmth with one hand, while his eyes search his face for signs of distress and to make direct eye contact.

Thorns. [ thinks about how this should be their assigned names but i cannot bring myself to write it. ] What's wrong? I'm here.

[ has he ever ghosted him in this timeline… no… he has to think about this for a stupidly long time. ]

Would you actually.

[ thorns is like ? considering he basically helped elysium drink earlier, but he supposes elysium may not remember that considering he was extremely out of it at the time.

so he just gets up and walks out of the room, and then returns with the food delivery in hand. he settles back down. ]


Yes.

[

he should say no. he managed to put his foot down when they were at the wedding? but he is so, so tempted and he thinks if he experiences this he can die content.

he stares at thorns.








then opens his mouth. he is blaming scien for this, too. explodes him in his head. die.

[ thorns clutches at him, his grip a little too tight with no signs of loosening any time soon. he doesn't respond right away, and instead he stares at him, his eyes unfocused. ]

The sea took you.

[ it's mumbled, making it difficult to believe that it's actually meant to be said to elysium. ]
