[ this is why the guard hates them. they sound insane. ]

I don't know, you're talking about it a lot more than I am. You're the one who seems obsessed with it.

[ is elysium perhaps... trying to divert blame? ]

thorns doesn't even knock he just opens the door and walks in. ]


Elysium?

[ there is in love and then there is whatever nefarious thing they're in. ]

But I don't have space to think about anything outside of you.

[ in the same tone thorns had used earlier. ]

I guess we have to leave it behind after all. You keep my hands and mind full.

[ as all romcoms tend to go, this is the exact moment elysium chooses to step out of the tub.

to his credit, he does not fall and hit his head on the soap dish and die.

Hi, Thorns.

I'll be outside.

Let's go to bed...

[ is too dramatic? is it? elysium tries to swat at it as well, except this time it chomps down and

takes a whole lot of hair with it. elysium stares as it chews through it then spits it out like a hair all, seemingly bored now that it's done what it's sought out to do.

Say that again?

[ now they're getting in bed together before h*lding h*nds and kissing. woah. elysium nods mechanically, but there is one last detour they have to make. he tugs thorns back to the coffee table to hold out another pill.

they have to keep taking their medicine.

What are you going to do if it doesn't? It has to work on you, too…

You've been sick longer so you need to get better first.

[ clearly, that is how it works.

thorns settles into the bed and pats the spot right next to him. yes, sleeping on the floor was highly uncomfortable, but it was nice to be that close. ]


You do too much so you're not getting well.

[ ………

it somewhat works as it keeps him from attempting to end it all. somewhat, as in the next second: he bites thorns' tongue.
]

I'm a hot guy. What's a hot guy if he can't pull off any hair style? It's fine. Even now, I look great. They're meant to accentuate the person and not be the be all end all. And, yeah, wasn't I thinking of getting a cut anyway? To be less recognisable? It'll help when we go on a date in the city.

Yeah. Right. Absolutely—this just moved up the schedule, is all.

[ he is going through so many stages fucking help ]



I'm going to go find scissors.

I'm no worse than someone who has done so much he's ended up more sick than I am.

[ sniffle. ]

[ thorns can tell this is going to be a problem. elysium may love thorns more than anything, but his vanity truly comes at a close second.

he kisses him again despite the fact that his tongue was just rudely bitten. ]


We can get the scissors when we're done for the day.

[ he doesn't truly elysium with something sharp this soon after the incident. ]

It will grow back. And I will love every strand of it as it does.
