not only do we have peak romance, we have peak pathetic. ]
at the very least, since thorns is aware elysium is waiting for him, he makes this quick and doesn't do any unnecessary soul searching in the shower. once he's out and dressed, he opens the door and almost trips over elysium in the process.

he leans down to ruffle his hair as if he didn't almost die. ]
he better scurry back because how long is he going to give elysium in the shower before he thinks he's drowned? that'll be however long he stays in there without indication the water's shutting off anytime soon.

he just stares at the door for a long while… then remembers to change, emerging with the idea that it's better to pretend it never happened at all. yeah! ]
[ 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.
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. ]

Hi.
no subject
[ he tries to lean into the hair ruffling, but his body has a mind of its own—head rolling and bumping against his knees instead. it stays there. ]
… Good night.
[ he used all his energy on manhandling and trying to run from his gay thoughts ]
no subject
thorns leans down and tries to drag elysium backwards into the bathroom. he will not be ripped off like this. ]
If you don't get up I'll undress you.
no subject
You can't. That's indecent. We haven't even…
[ mumble mumble ]
no subject
[ he manages to get elysium fully inside, and then tries to lift him up properly so he can sit on top of the toilet lid.
he refuses to be the only one forced to shower. he is not leaving until elysium makes movements. ]
no subject
[ he realises it's up to him to give a demonstration. okay.
he leans forward… pauses for a single second, and then kisses thorns lightly on the nose. like a boop! except with his mouth. ]
Kiss. We haven't even kissed. Now go.
[ he gets up clumsily. it is hard to tell how much he's thinking or if he's thinking at all. ]
no subject
thorns taps the spot on his nose that was smooched. hmmmm.
he hurriedly scurries out of the bathroom. goodbye. ]

fun! ]
no subject
thorns doesn't even knock he just opens the door and walks in. ]
Elysium?
no subject
to his credit, he does not fall and hit his head on the soap dish and die. ]
Hi, Thorns.
no subject
[ okay.
thorns stands there and then nods his head. ]
I'll be outside.
[ quietly goes to exit like that didn't just happen... ]
no subject
he just stares at the door for a long while… then remembers to change, emerging with the idea that it's better to pretend it never happened at all. yeah! ]
no subject
he jumps slightly when he hears the door open and turns around. ]
Let's go to bed...
no subject
they have to keep taking their medicine. ]
no subject
thorns follows after him and begrudgingly takes this medicine. this is cruel. ]
This better make you better.
no subject
it feels like it's taken an entire journey for the both of them to rest. but at last, here they are: elysium's bed. ]
What are you going to do if it doesn't? It has to work on you, too…
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
I'm no worse than someone who has done so much he's ended up more sick than I am.
[ sniffle. ]
… Thanks. But look after yourself more next time.
no subject
[ ...
he presses his face against elysium's back. he is, in fact, thinking about what just happened in the bathroom. it's fine. it's cool. explodes. ]
You smell nice.
no subject
he is so glad his back is turned or this would be so much more awkward. ]
Yeah? You're free to use my soap anytime you want.
[ smelling like each other……
combusts ]
no subject
Oh... okay. Yeah.
[ he won't, he has his own perfectly usable soap... he won't waste elysium's. they're so stupid. ]
no subject
nevermind. curiosity kills the bird and he flips over. is thorns still pressed against him… can they gayly fall asleep staring into each other's eyes?
he knows it's bad but he's just really overcome with the desire to look at him properly. ]
no subject
... Hi.
[ can they do this when they're not feverish. ]
no subject
he does the next best thing which is place a hand over thorns' eyes. no looky… ]
You're supposed to be trying to sleep.
