he blocks dahut and scien's numbers. then, he thinks about it a little more and ultimately decides he should block any incoming numbers that aren't already registered in his phonebook? perfect.
[ thorns stares back, also deeply confused as to why elysium isn't doing anything. he told thorns he doesn't want him to undress him, so he isn't sure what the problem is?
and then it hits him (it doesn't), and thorns turns around to face a wall. just because elysium wants him in here doesn't mean he wants him to see anything... it is simply a solidarity thing. ]
[ they are two men standing in the bathroom together… is this thorns telling him he should go before they leave? does he think he'll hit his head somewhere and pass out and die if they aren't in the same room? he just let him go off on his own earlier though?
this is so bizarre…… he stares at thorns' head thinking he might be able to look into it if he stares hard enough. ]
Are you serious?
[ about wanting elysium to P*SS IN FRONT OF HIM????? ]
thorns is so confused. at this point he actually turns around because maybe seeing elysium will make this conversation suddenly make any sense at all. ]
this is so insanely awkward that thorns just makes a small grunt in response and beelines out the door. goodbye. he crawls into bed and hopes he dies. ]
thorns watches him scurry away in stunned disbelief before closing his door again so he can wonder what is going on here. that seemed like flirting? elysium must be so sick... it is the only thing that makes sense.
[ he's limit testing as much as his bbbb self will allow. he is as mortified as thorns, and for a solid minute crouches under a cold stream of water……
he takes his ten minutes. when he emerges, he peeks his head out of the doorframe and looks left and right like he expects to be jumpscared for his crimes. ]
because thorns is still in his room. he is pacing in his room, more accurately, and has spent the entire ten minutes trying to weigh whether or not he is going insane here. does he need to help elysium find a new kitten? is that what this is? elysium is so h*rny lost-breakup he's losing his mind? ]

he blocks dahut and scien's numbers. then, he thinks about it a little more and ultimately decides he should block any incoming numbers that aren't already registered in his phonebook? perfect.
he smiles and hands the phone back over. ]
Okay.
no subject
thorns just takes his phone back. after pocketing it, he will return to his previous position which was grabbing elysium by the wrist. ]
Right. I'll help you undress if you need me to.
no subject
huh ]
Sorry, what? [ he stares at thorns' hand on his wrist. ] I think I misheard you. What?
no subject
[ which is a relief but thorns wasn't going to let elysium know he was nervous about it, that's the opposite of being helpful... ]
I'll just take you there then.
no subject
[ they are once again having two entirely different conversations. he looks down. a stain he's maybe missing? ]
You still have to be there with me.
no subject
thorns reminds himself that elysium is practically on death's door. he nods his head slowly and starts to tug him down the hall towards the bath... ]
no subject
he just stares at thorns questioningly? he is truly struggling so much just to make sense of what's going on… why is life hard. ]
no subject
and then it hits him (it doesn't), and thorns turns around to face a wall. just because elysium wants him in here doesn't mean he wants him to see anything... it is simply a solidarity thing. ]
Go ahead.
no subject
this is so bizarre…… he stares at thorns' head thinking he might be able to look into it if he stares hard enough. ]
Are you serious?
[ about wanting elysium to P*SS IN FRONT OF HIM????? ]
no subject
does.... does he actually want him to watch? what. thorns should have just let him die. ]
I don't think it's appropriate for me to look.
no subject
Isn't it already inappropriate that you're here.
no subject
thorns is so confused. at this point he actually turns around because maybe seeing elysium will make this conversation suddenly make any sense at all. ]
You... told me to stay with you?
no subject
elysium looks as confused as thorns does. then, his soul leaves his body. ]
To the doctor's…
no subject
in a quiet, horrified voice, ]
To take a shower...
no subject
………… ]
You'd go that far for me…? [ he very gently rests a hand on thorns' shoulder. ] I'll let you know if I ever need it.
[ translation: please get out he needs to CRY ]
no subject
this is so insanely awkward that thorns just makes a small grunt in response and beelines out the door. goodbye. he crawls into bed and hopes he dies. ]
no subject
he gives it like thirty seconds before he awkwardly shuffles out to stand in front of thorns' room. he knocks on it quietly. ]
I should still take you to a clinic…
no subject
[ elysium you are disgusting. thorns is hoping this is enough to motivate him. ]
no subject
[ now that thorns has mentioned it, he does feel gross. at the same time, he has to leverage it to make sure thorns gets help, too… ]
no subject
Fine. You need to see a doctor anyway.
[ they will pvp. ]
no subject
You know… you seemed pretty ready to watch me shower until I spoke up and you turned around. Did you actually want to see? Wow. I'll keep it mind.
[ a beat. ]
I'll be done in ten.
[ walks away fastly ]
no subject
oh my god. what is happening.
thorns watches him scurry away in stunned disbelief before closing his door again so he can wonder what is going on here. that seemed like flirting? elysium must be so sick... it is the only thing that makes sense.
this is such a pained wait time. ]
no subject

no subject
elysium breathes a sigh of relief. but he realises he still has to face thorns… hm.
he takes another five minutes to summon the courage to show up at his door again. this makes it seem like he has no sense of time. ]
Still alive?
