[ it's better than being fully aware of how unhealthy they're being and feeding into it intentionally. elysium really did stoop to new lows to thirst trap him and apparently thorns was all for it.
he slides his hand off of thorns to scoot closer. ]
Every day, every hour, every minute and second of our lives. You gave yourself to me, didn't you? That's what I want. I'll act up otherwise.
[ the way they mourned the sniper guard for like two seconds. okay. taking the breaks and safeguards off of their relationship was a mistake. ]

[ HE CAN AND WILL no sol romcom is complete without a chase scene or ten
it's probably a long run given the ferris wheel is on the other side of the boardwalk, but that's fine. it's still fuckin crowded so they're also going to have to weave through a million different people. elysium has had to mouth at least ten apologies by the time he reaches his car but that's
youth!!!!!! being stupid!!!!!!!! ]

[ they are mourning something alright and it's most definitely not their comrade ]
I might not be able to do anything to you… but there's plenty I can do to disincentivise others. But you'd feel guilty about that, wouldn't you? Mm. So there's something better than that——myself.
[ he lets himself get tugged, training his eyes directly on thorns'. ]
As you can imagine, being in Special Operations gives you a pretty unique skillset. You have to really understand the people and circumstances you're working with.
[ remember when thorns was willing to drop everything to take elysium to a clinic?
he takes his free hand and
digs his fingers into his wound.
surely there is a threshold of crazy here that thorns is no longer willing to tolerate… so much for a restful and uneventful evening… ]

[ CAN'T A GUY CATCH HIS BREATH!!!! ]
No! Pffft! Stop! What I wouldn't have given to catch how distraught you looked. It was gold! Take a joke!
[ the joke is him getting to nap. okay.
he's laughing while being shaken like a ragdoll i guess ]
You haven't forgotten, have you? We have a wedding to go to, bro!

[ he is so genuinely happy about this that it borders on delirium. he should not be happy but he is? he only manages to exacerbate the wound half a centimetre deep, but that's all it takes for it to coat his bandage red; this is so blatantly manipulative that he's starting to wonder what he can't get away with.
somehow, this is even more twisted than being able to change past events. ]
I know. That's why you have to keep treating me preciously, mi luz. What am I without you?
[ a guy who is going to spiral down a dark path, apparently—or a darker path, even. ]

Maybe I need to make this permanent...?
[ it's muttered, mostly to himself, and he tugs at the handcuff a little. he watches at the red blooms against the white, and he knows they have bandages packed away in their bags. he makes a note to grab them later. ]
You are my heart. Just know that the blood in my veins cannot flow without you.
[ his hand moves to touch the spot over his wound. his fingertips come back tinted red. ]

[ as with each time thorns has tugged on the chain, elysium complies pliantly. there is no reason for him to act up again after he's proven his point, so!
all that meets thorns is a smile as he licks his fingers clean, closing his mouth around each individual digit to make sure nothing is left behind. ( francy voice ) they're fine. ]
That's already been my case for a long, long time. I won't let anything happen to you.

[ everything is fine as long as they are alive and together.
he thinks briefly to how whoever is out there was probably watching the fight between elysium and the rookie, since they would need to keep an eye on their goods. if anything, if thorns hadn't shown up right when he did, they might have tried to take elysium out by surprise—it's easier to take someone out when they're distracted by their weapon being embedded in another person.
he probably should have surveyed the immediate area, but it hadn't even crossed his mind when normally it would have. ]
Is that a promise?

Is that a promise?
[ yeah, honestly. elysium has managed to thoroughly convince himself that this is the best thing that has ever happened to them and it'd taken him too long to realise what was important all along: them, and being together.
he's going to make this work no matter what it takes. ]
It is. [ he hooks their pinkies together, crosses his heart and hopes to die if he doesn't. they have a lot to live for, now. each other. ] I'm not letting you leave my sight.

[ nothing like segueing into a normal conversation after having the most insane exchange of their lives. his expression turns more serious. ]
If you're wondering if they realised it was me specifically who took out their scouts, I don't think so. But they should know both of ours now regardless.
[ … ]
What are you thinking about?
[ if thorns is thinking about going out on the field elysium will kill him ]

[ it does seem like leaping from an extreme to another, but this is just what their lives are like now, being able to discuss the most deeply codependent things and then switching to discussing the weather. ]
Just wondering how annoying leaving will be.
[ in the chance that they get followed. ]
