[ has thorns ever grieved in his life. does he know it isn't a linear process… maybe if he learned to live with elysium's death he would understand elysium's feelings about his hair. they would not be here if he did but still?
he will just keep hanging onto thorns for the next five minutes unless he says something to tilt him off the face of terra. ]
[ thorns just pats him the entire time. internally, he is thinking about what should tomorrow's breakfast be. perhaps they can make healthy smoothies so it's quick... he does not understand the hair.
[ thorns is doing so well… elysium sniffles. thorns could be thinking the rudest thoughts in his head but the fact that he isn't saying any of them touches the heart.
[ for once, thorns can figure this out... although it helps that elysium had literally just asked for a kiss and that giving them is one of thorns' favorite activities.
so elysium can have another one, and then a third. ]
[ this is how people placate toddlers… it is unfortunately so effective. he sniffles. ]
You'd love me even if I were a slug.
[ is this a complaint. who knows. but he will just stay where thorns has left him also like a toddler who does not know what to do with himself? he's thorns' well-behaved bbbb. ]
[ they are both beyond asking for permission it pleases him more than it should. ]
I already feel better.
[ because he can lean over and kiss thorns at any time… one has to remind themselves of the things they do have in life.
the real sticking point is him being one (1) intrusive thought away from having another meltdown, but he obediently allows himself to be ferried and/or manhandled. he trusts thorns with his life… ]
[ there is nothing wrong with them except the fact they like each other a little too much. no big deal.
rather, hasn't he been fixed? he used to be so allergic to thorns' pampering him but now they can have a nice and peaceful time. he is attractive, thank u thorns. ]
[ elysium will snap out of this eventually and he will return to being allergic to it, so thorns will appreciate this now while it lasts. all it took was elysium getting traumatized.
but thorns will wash him lovingly... if elysium even slightly looks like his mind is wandering back to his hair, he will get a kiss to distract him.
[ help only works if the people themselves acknowledge they need it and in no timeline where they both can be god will that happen.
but they're fine now, right? no more trying to fix every little thing? on the bright side, now that his hair is so far gone he does not care how thorns chooses to dry or brush it so long as he's attached to thorns' side.
I'm half expecting the roof to collapse when we try...
[ today has been such a bust...
in actuality it is kind of absurd for them to assume that they should be like this every day with no interruption, but that's what the expectations are now. ]
We're not letting something like that come between us. Never.
[ so, what
they're going to canoodle under rubble? it seems like it. but elysium is more or less done behaving now, wrapping his arms around thorns to drag him over to bed. they will flirt or die trying… they are well. ]
he follows him into bed easily enough, and immediately presses himself again him. hi. why are they acting as if they have been separated all day when they've been attached like always? ]
[ they were working so it isn't the same vibe as when they're in private. it's different. they are separating their work and personal lives in the best way possible in that they aren't whatsoever but in their delusional minds they are.
but, yes. hi. he kisses thorns on the cheek then the mouth. thorns has one chance tomorrow morning to throw away all the mirrors before elysium wakes up and they repeat this process all over again. ]

he will just keep hanging onto thorns for the next five minutes unless he says something to tilt him off the face of terra. ]
no subject
but after a while, ]
Would a massage make you feel better?
no subject
something like a beat later, he peeks up. ]
Kiss me?
no subject
but thorns automatically leans over to give elysium a kiss as instructed. he waits to see if there are any other asks. ]
no subject
…
he looks at thorns like he wants another one. will this be the one time where beaming his thoughts into thorns' head is successful? ]
no subject
so elysium can have another one, and then a third. ]
Te amo.
no subject
Life is worth living after all…
[ and then returns the three kisses in succession. he is a simple soul. ]
Te amo más, mi luz!
no subject
thorns quite seriously starts wondering if he can create a hair growth formula...? ]
Let's go shower.
no subject
Okay.
[ he's back to uselessly draping himself over thorns. ]
Lead the way, capitan.
no subject
but thorns will lead them to their bathroom that only has a shower. he will hope that elysium does not look at the mirror. ]
I'll get your clothes off for you.
no subject
At least I still have my body. Hand-chiseled by the predecessors themselves…
[ this is insane talk ]
no subject
thorns pats him again soothingly. ]
You are so attractive.
[ and then he goes to set up the shower...... don't have another breakdown when he is five feet away... ]
no subject
You'd love me even if I were a slug.
[ is this a complaint. who knows. but he will just stay where thorns has left him also like a toddler who does not know what to do with himself? he's thorns' well-behaved bbbb. ]
no subject
once thorns is satisfied with the temperature, he returns to elysium's side and just starts undressing him without waiting for permission. ]
You'll feel better in a minute.
no subject
I already feel better.
[ because he can lean over and kiss thorns at any time… one has to remind themselves of the things they do have in life.

no subject
thorns will strip himself after he finishes with elysium, and then pulls him into the shower with him. this really is just caring for a bbbb. ]
no subject
rather, hasn't he been fixed? he used to be so allergic to thorns' pampering him but now they can have a nice and peaceful time. he is attractive, thank u thorns. ]
no subject
but thorns will wash him lovingly... if elysium even slightly looks like his mind is wandering back to his hair, he will get a kiss to distract him.
they truly need help. ]
no subject
but they're fine now, right? no more trying to fix every little thing? on the bright side, now that his hair is so far gone he does not care how thorns chooses to dry or brush it so long as he's attached to thorns' side.
at some point during this: ]
We have to canoodle.
no subject
[ today has been such a bust...

Kiss me.
no subject
but, yes. hi. he kisses thorns on the cheek then the mouth. thorns has one chance tomorrow morning to throw away all the mirrors before elysium wakes up and they repeat this process all over again. ]
What else can I do for you?
no subject
[ he needs to think of something else but he is pleased by the simplest of things.
thorns kisses him despite saying this. ]
Like that.
no subject
he kisses thorns back exactly as instructed. then—he kisses him again, with tongue the second time. ]
How about like that?
[ can the roof actually cave in ]
