[ now that's just cheating. there's a quiet noise of surprise before he eases into it—then it becomes more than just a little inappropriate and grounds for being kicked out, but the benefit to being in a small village is

there are no cameras! they can live their stupid exhibitionist life until the shopkeeper asks if they need help? they haven't moved for a while.

elysium pulls away and clears his throat.

We are purchasing these.

[ thorns just holds up the hats and then follows after the shopkeeper to the register, acting as if he wasn't just being highly indecent in this lovely establishment.

elysium can follow or take a moment to recover... or rest his ass for a minute... ]

I… like you too…

[ he seems to have come to a belated realisation. he is also so close to hitting the car in front of them trying to turn in the middle of nowhere he has to slam on his breaks.



if his stomach was not pumped he may have just thrown up here and now. this is the best confession of all time, why did thorns allow this.

[ OKAY. DIES.

this is such whiplash. thorns is too surprised by the sudden stop that it takes an extra ten seconds for him to decipher what elysium had just said. ]


No you don't.

Hi.

[ elysium's nearly killed them twice in the last few minutes, all because he's flustered. and thorns still wants to pvp? guess he really does want to die.

it is also beyond five minutes and that's solely because he's driven past their stop. is he aware of this? not at all. does he know where they're going now? nope!!
]

What? I do. I always have. I should be saying that to you. You're the one who rejected me?

[ this just makes it sound like he got rejected a second time over this is so pathetic ]

You told me you got over me. Why do you think I never said anything?

[ to save them from a horribly awkward conversation!!!!!!

except they're still having one anyway. ]

Welcome back, my sun.

[ he was less than five metres away. stop. he meets thorns' smooch with one of his own; they're out here innocently pretending they wouldn't be willing to bang on one of the display tables if they had the opportunity to.

but he takes out one of the uncute hats to immediately put it on thorns' head.

What did you want me to say? It's been over two years and I still haven't gotten over you? Like hell I would! You'd just feel bad if you didn't feel the same!

[ PROVE HIM WRONG!!! ]

Do you even feel the same? You didn't guilt yourself into it anyway, did you? I wouldn't put it past you.

thorns does not immediately respond. ]

[ they're going to position themselves so they have an unobstructed view of each other at all times you heard it here first.

he seems to follow thorns' train of thought.
]

What if we borrowed or rented an axe? That'd be more economical. There are bound to be a couple laying around that people aren't constantly using. So then we'd just need… screws? Whoever would have an axe is bound to have other tools.

[ this just reminds me of reclamation algorithm which i played for ten minutes then gave up

[ he nods his head. everyone in the town at the moment is still thankful to them for the hunt they brought in, so it's probably the best time to try to get some favors in.

they're going to be so cute in their honeymoon era... ]


Mm. We just need to be smart and try to get as much made as possible that we think we'll need. You're so dependable.

Of course not. No one would be able to afford you anyway.

well, he's biased, so the number is absurdly high in his mind. ]

that's one way to get him to stop. he slams to the curb, gaze snapping towards thorns with an intensity that's half-crazed with worry.

Are you out of your mind?! You're sick! You could've gotten hurt! Did you get hurt?!

[ this, too, is fine.

thorns allows elysium to freak out, and it's only when he stops talking long enough to breathe normally that thorns just leans over to kiss him on the cheek. yes, he almost killed himself for this. ]


You think this is guilt?

Do you think, maybe, we should go to relationship counselling.

[ fucking help. this is a terrible joke.

but where do they even begin. explodes. the way they aren't even in a relationship just like how they aren't married. how can elysium navigate every other relationship in his life and those of others but not the one with thorns?????
