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. ]
[ yeah if he doesn't move he'll keep falling on him. tragic.
elysium is chipper as he replaces thorns in the driver's seat. who knows if he can truly handle a five minute drive, but what's the worst that can happen? it's dead at night. there's no traffic. this will be fine. ]

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. ]

[ elysium has no idea what he just went through and that thorns was almost arrested. this was such an overactive day and for what. ]
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.
no subject
he pauses. he takes a deep breath. ]
Can you pull over?
no subject
What is it?

press a quick kiss to his cheek. ]

he stares back. then, he takes thorns' hand in attempt to tug him out. he's the adult in the space now, hello. ]
no subject
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. ]
no subject
I'm not. How do you want me to convince you?
no subject
[ the only way to do so would be to drive and not pass out, but in order to drive he needs to convince him. it is a catch-22... ]
You can try to make me get up.
no subject
[ he stares at thorns again. he kisses him closer to his mouth, but not quite. ]
Move.
1/3
that was another kiss. did elysium fall and his mouth landed on him? is that what's happening... ]
