[ and then everything explodes when they have to go back to life ]
Until we're both better. Shhh…
[ —muffled by the fact that he's currently buried in thorns, but it should be legible enough. even if he tries to protest, it falls on deaf ears; he conks out immediately after forcing his eyes open for an hour. his job is done. he can die now. ]

[ they're a team until it's convenient not to be. still, he doesn't want thorns resorting to the same tactics, so he just sighs… ]
Uh huh. We can start by backtracking our steps, I guess…
[ continues staring into the distance. ]
When's the last time you saw it?

[ they can die later.
but they can fall asleep, cuddling. the way they have cuddled so much and it's simply because they are so deliriously sick that they can't get as shy over it as they normally might.
but they can have a healthy few hours before stirring again. what fucking time is it. they basically missed a week of class at this point. ]

[ elysium will probably have a few sleepless nights wondering if he was too bold… they've already done so much so fast.
but extremely glad they're not the kind of people who go in sick and infect an entire class or workplace… blows those people up with my mind. thorns can rouse first! elysium's set his alarm for six hours after they'd taken their medicine and his ass is not getting up before then. he's dead. ]

[ he's gotten over being a short-haired emo boy (for now)
their one real chance to be apart was when elysium was having a meltdown over his hair. incredible. ]
No. I'll come with. [ he clamps onto thorns' hand, anchoring himself at his side. ] It wasn't that long ago so it should be quick.
[ except
there's a loud scream to their left, prompting elysium to glance over to thorns. they should probably check that out first. surprise—it's their capybara friend trying to eat a woman's hair this time. ]

Oh. It alerted us to where it was.
[ that is 100% not what is happening here, but thorns does not really see the hair thing as a problem. he knows now to say that out loud in front of elysium.
but he walks over and tries to yank it off of her without a single word to the woman. ]

[ okay………
elysium just watches this happen even as the woman shrieks and asks what's wrong with him in yanese. for his part, he responds in kind—depending on if thorns has been keeping up with his homework he may or may not understand?
but he isn't socialised and it's very much a work-in-progress. sorry. the way he says this leaves it so ambiguous as to who he's referring to exactly. ]

[ why is this bird constantly their third wheel. justice for bird
still, it's soft enough that he's immediately mollified by its presence. he rubs his cheek against it and sighs contentedly. as for his temperature, it's fine. a few points above normal, but after their terrible, no-good week (which, was it really that terrible considering how many long-avoided conversations they finally had?), the end of their recovery is finally in sight.
his stomach, however, is starting to rumble. guess who forgot to eat. thorns may have already noticed the untouched takeout container still sitting in the fridge along with whatever had been left of thorns' soup. ]

[ thorns understands, but assumes he means the capybara, so he just nods his head in agreement.
it takes some tugging but they finally get it to let go. she does lose some hair in the process, but her haircut to fix it won't be as dramatic as elysium's. ]
Don't run away.

[ he really is going to kill him.
thorns' problem is that he doesn't want to wake elysium up if he's still sleeping, but he also doesn't want to heat the food up in case it takes him a while to get up... what is the point if it just goes cold again. so thorns continues to sit and scroll on his phone, messaging his professors.
he sees the dating app on his phone. he forgot elysium set the account up... thorns didn't even get to use it. ]

[ the woman assumes elysium's talking about thorns, and he has to laugh into his hand—it's painfully obvious what's going on here.
but while thorns is off talking to the capybara, the woman's already demanding compensation… which, okay, is far less funny. this is where he steps in. ]
Neither of them meant it, ma'am. You look as fine as ever; no harm done. [ POT, KETTLE ] But if you ever need any work done, you can find us at the inn, alright? We'll take on any job within reason for you. Just let us know.
[ sparkles
he's mister tall dark and handsome now ]

[ half an hour to the alarm—
he stirs, half-asleep. assuming thorns is still there, he reaches out until his hands find bird instead. his arms curl loosely around it, pressing a drowsy kiss to its cheek before his brow furrows, eyes still shut. ]
… Did you get softer?

[ thorns watches this happen, surprised over how attached elysium seems to be over this plush. thorns really screwed up by not winning it and giving it to him... a tale of star-crossed lovers.
except then he speaks and the illusion is shattered. ]
Uh huh.

Uh huh.
[ sorry he has no idea what thorns is talking about ]
We'll have to fix that habit somehow. It's too old to be teething…
[ the capybara can hold one hand while elysium holds the other. ]
Let's stop by the library and bookstore and see what we can find after we drop it off at the farm?
