I think Scien would consider an attempt on his life as flirting.
[ he is such a weirdo...
but maybe elysium saying he still has feelings for thorns is just a byproduct of being sick and he will go back to trying to date scien after? who can say. ]
[ there is a reason elysium also has him blocked now but that's something they can deal with later in theory. thinks about how right after my vacation is the short term probably marks down sc*en's death for 2026
…
elysium pokes thorns' cheek. ]
Mm. You're right. But I don't need to close my eyes for that?
[ elysium is giddy in the way a playground bully would be knowing that their tactics are working. this is so dangerous… also, let them never reach the levels of h*rny they have in the other thread anywhere else. amen.
back to reality, at the very least, he knows when to stop. their asses need to rest… ]
You aren't? That's good. I wouldn't have been able to sleep if you were.
[ fingers finds thorns' cheek and brush against them gently. ]
[ whoa... too bad this will be over once elysium is no longer feverish and returns to his common sense.
but he will close his eyes since looking at elysium directly is still embarrsssing. in general, thorns still isn't quite sure how to progress with this. it was one thing to decide to just never confess and live that way, but he had not imagined any scenario where elysium had LIED about getting over his feelings.
he eventually snoozed again thinking about this. ]
well, considering there's no way to know for thorns to know, elysium ends up staying awake. he watches thorns for a few minutes before he decides that this is wrong and flips onto his back to stare at the ceiling instead. it's easier to stay up for another hour than set an alarm for it…
there are a lot of things to go through that it ends up taking him the entire way. at the hour mark: ]
Hey. Medicine.
[ whispers! he's managed to climb out over thorns and has both the medicine and a glass of water. ]

elysium lays back down and inches forward. like this? ]
no subject
he covers elysium's eyes with his hand. ]
no subject
What about you?
[
also puts his hand across thorns' eyes. ]
no subject
Go back to sleep.
[ he tries to remove elysium's hand with his other one. ]
no subject
It was either we get better together or we get worse together. You need to sleep, too.
[ in case that wasn't enough of an argument: ]
You were warmer.
no subject
[ he'll fight you...
there's a pause, and his hand moves to gently tug at one of elysium's stands of hair (that he still has in this thread). ]
I need you to get better.
no subject
[ thorns' murderous rages don't hit the same when he's a noodle… he play frowns. ]
Ow. [ … ] We need to plan how to get away with murder together.
no subject

no subject
[ what
anyway. comedy gold for thorns to consider other people weirdos. ]
Let's stop talking about him. We'll just raise our blood pressure and make it even harder to sleep.
no subject
... ]
Close your eyes and imagine something you like instead of relax.
no subject
…
elysium pokes thorns' cheek. ]
Mm. You're right. But I don't need to close my eyes for that?
no subject
and about five seconds later turns so his face is covered by his pillow. goodbye. ]
no subject
[ he attempts to pry thorns away from his pillow, though not very successfully. ]
You won't be able to breathe like that. Even if it's the point, I kind of need you alive.
no subject
it was such an easy setup but it still got him... ]
no subject
he leans in closer and blows a puff of air into thorns' exposed ear. ]
Don't ignore me.
no subject
he does turn his head away from the pillow finally, and unsurprisingly he is blushing. ]
I'm not ignoring you.
[ he was. ]
no subject
back to reality, at the very least, he knows when to stop. their asses need to rest… ]
You aren't? That's good. I wouldn't have been able to sleep if you were.
[ fingers finds thorns' cheek and brush against them gently. ]
I'll sleep well, so make sure you do, too.

no subject
You need to take it first.
[ he needs to witness it happening. ]
no subject
Oh… right.
[ HE FORGOT AGAIN
but he will proceed to take what's in his hand in front of thorns and quickly scurries off to get another… ]
Here.
no subject
he will take the second pill and then glare at elysium. ]
You weren't going to take it.
no subject
[ he reaches forward to pat thorns' head. pat pat. ]
I was just making sure you took yours first.
[ and then he would've inevitably gotten distracted by one thing or another, but that's not the timeline they're currently on, so. sue him. ]
no subject
he swats his hand away. ]
Did you want to rest more?
no subject
hahahaha
…
instead of answering he just crawls back in and curls up against thorns. hi. ]
