he shuts the door and hops into the back seat!!!! the bystander has indeed called the cops and gave them the plate number so that's going to be fun. thorns meanwhile just zooms to the nearest hospital. ]
[ do ers have normal wait times where you're at or are they also hell
because if you're breathing and have a pulse you are almost literally bottom rung in priority. goodbye. thorns will have to deal with cops and the er and scien this truly is just the worst timeline for him. ]
[ honestly it depends. you sometimes have a short wait and sometimes you are there forever it's like gacha
but thorns will, in fact, get pulled over so he will now have to waste a large amount of time trying to explain that he is not kidnapping the guy who is unconscious and he's taking him to the hospital. apparently the person said they watched as thorns slammed elysium against the car before throwing him inside......
[ oh… here it's a minimum two hour wait unless you are actively dying. you either low roll or lower roll tears up
it does not help the car is registered to the guy in the back but it's okay… thorns is freed eventually… at some point elysium's unconscious self rolls over and ends up on the floor. this is fine. ]
a corpse can't speak so elysium is just a lump. the way dahut has tried to reach thorns or elysium about matters but because he is blocked, he can't get through… okay!
the hospital will just determine he's? sleeping? deep sleeping? they are fascinated they can't tell what's wrong. he's about to be the hospital's research subject… thorns is leaking scien's work… ]
two more hours of elevator music later, elysium's stomach is pumped. lucky for him, he's unconscious through the entirety of it, though it does bring them into the later hours of the evening. is thorns really going to sit with him this entire time? how much school have they skipped for this. help. ]
[ maybe they don't have classes for some of the days tears up
but thorns does sit with him the whole time, only leaving when the nurses asks him to step away for a moment or to use the restroom. when they finally okay him to leave, they just put him into a wheelchair and thorns starts to take him back to the car...
how did things turn out this way. also the way thorns got no medical care at all since elysium was too knocked out to make sure he got looked at. ]
[ OKAY. that one pop team epic meme for when elysium gets up. or, when he no longer feels like ass as when he stirs, halfway through this car ride, it feels as if he's just been hit by a freight train.
he doesn't say a word when he shifts upright, but the creak of the car seat probably gives him away. he just wants to get his bearings… ]
[ he thinks back on everything that's led them here as he unbuckles his seatbelt, leaning through the gap between the front seats. his hand finds thorns' chin. turning it just enough to expose his cheek, he steadies it to
press a quick kiss to his cheek. ]
Scoot over into passenger.
[ it is not a request. it is a demand. thorns has only the span of time it takes elysium to open his door and circle around to the driver's side to move. ]
it takes elysium opening the door to actually get thorns to move, because he spends the entire time rebooting his brain from the cheek kiss. he is trying very hard to think of a platonic reason that happened... people in his culture do kiss cheeks... this is normal...
once elysium is inside, thorns is just staring at him. ]

they eventually make it to the hospital and thorns parks. he goes to grab elysium and is just
why is he down there. hello. time to pick him up. ]

thorns will just mention that elysium drank unknown chemicals and that maybe they should pump his stomach to be safe. ]
no subject
one of the nurses doesn't bother hiding their disdain. what do you mean questionable chemicals. did he eat a tide pod. there are people dying, thorns.
for their crimes (really just elysium's crimes) they are put on standby until they can do this. yippee ]
no subject
thorns just keeps poking elysium to make sure he's alive. what was he about to say. side effects of what. thorns is going insane. ]

How do you feel?
no subject
Have you been looking after me this entire time?
[ he's holding his answers hostage. well, yes. but he wants to hear it from thorns. ]
no subject
[ his tone is one of disbelief, like he can't understand why elysium is asking him this. of course he's been looking after him this entire time. ]
I let your mom know. Make sure you call her tomorrow.

Can you pull over?

he stares back. then, he takes thorns' hand in attempt to tug him out. he's the adult in the space now, hello. ]

thorns just
tugs back? hello? ]
no subject
he tugs back? of course he does? ]
I told you to move.
no subject
[ in reality, thorns' reaction time was just heavily nerfed due to the kiss but he isn't going to admit to that. ]
no subject
[ uh huh… ]
no subject
[ and then they crash and the car explodes and they die? what then?
thorns is not convinced. ]
