[ this is one of the saddest conversations two people who'd just gotten in a relationship can have. elysium wants to both crawl into a hole and never emerge and die. ]
Something like that. Really goes to show things happen for a reason though, don't you think?
goes back to typing. he has no idea how to continue this conversation considering thorns just agreed after he was told about the idea. he knew it may be weird but worst case scenario if it didn't work out they could just move out when the lease ran out... ]
and goes back to just typing. thorns is realizing that elysium is going to breakup with him because absolutely nothing romantic has even slightly happened and in fact they seem to be drifting further away from it. he is going to rebound back to kitten. ]
[ they definitely are nowhere near as bad as they were a few days ago, but elysium is still warm enough that thorns does not approve of him exercising? actually, isn't that a bad idea even if his temperature was completely normal now? ]
You need to wait until you're fully healed before exerting energy.
he pats the spot that was kissed. it really is a good thing the nose kisses happened while they were extremely delirious because thorns just short circuited from this one. it takes about fifteen more seconds for him to remember he was going somewhere before quickly scurrying to his room.
[ tears up we can't let them come to the conclusion that h*rny is also the solution to all their problems here too
but elysium just falls to the floor with his back pressed against the wall, face in his hands. why… is dating hard? he is getting zero sleep like this goodbye ]
thorns doesn't actually go to bed he just finishes the rest of the paper. he is under the impression that elysium is asleep so doing this will no longer distract him from rest... every now and then he touches the spot that elysium kissed. wow. too bad they're going to breakup soon. ]
if thorns catches him in the morning there is evidence he has had multiple coffees. his eyes are also bloodshot, but that's nothing to worry about when the bigger question is why the hell he's wearing sunglasses indoor like a poser.
that's all to say, this is contingent on whether or not thorns gets up, so. wahoo. ]
except it is obviously only because he happened to get up to use the bathroom and he appears to be still half asleep. so he just waddles over and presses a kiss to elysium's cheek before going to the toilet. he is out of it enough and he was so concerned about the previous kiss that his brain came to the conclusion that he had to return it.
it is the only thought his brain is having goodbye. ]
at least thorns' brain is having thoughts. elysium's brain has zero until thorns is well in and out of the washroom. unless thorns is capable of another thought elysium is going to disappear again.

You say that, but. Uh. I might've tried…
[ help
they are this close to speed running a break up ]
no subject
on one hand, thorns can't blame him, but this is now so awkward. ]
... Your mom forced you?

[ he just
goes back to typing. he has no idea how to continue this conversation considering thorns just agreed after he was told about the idea. he knew it may be weird but worst case scenario if it didn't work out they could just move out when the lease ran out... ]
no subject
he gets up like he's ready to leave again. ]
no subject
he just reaches out and grabs elysium by the wrist. ]
no subject
[ his need to skedaddle whenever things are mildly inconvenient for him could be one, but surely it isn't that.
he tries to gently tug his hand back… ]
no subject
and goes back to just typing. thorns is realizing that elysium is going to breakup with him because absolutely nothing romantic has even slightly happened and in fact they seem to be drifting further away from it. he is going to rebound back to kitten. ]
no subject
he thinks thorns will break up with him as literally nothing had gone right for the past week and he'd seemed superstitious. this is an actual hell. ]
no subject
after a while though, he pauses again. ]
You should go to bed.
no subject
elysium just powers off his laptop he can't do this anymore ]
I'll go to bed when you do.
no subject
he just closes his without turning it off. if he needs to stop doing work to get elysium to rest then so be it. ]
Bedtime. Weren't you going to sleep earlier anyway?
[ when elysium first came back from wherever he went and don't realize thorns was on the couch... ]
no subject
[ their rollercoaster of conversations have at least kept him up well enough not to feel super tired anymore. still— ]
Are you coming to the gym tomorrow?
no subject

no subject
[ …
his takeaway from this is he should go without telling thorns. this may or may not be written across his face. ]
no subject
thorns is clearly disappointed, but whatever. it's fine!!! he picks his laptop up as he gets up. ]
Night.
[ he's just going to head to his room. the way they had been sleeping together but now everything is awkward. ]
no subject
but first—almost a little uncertain: ]
Are we still going to school together?
no subject
[ there is one chance of the timing falling through, but thorns will see if he is able to wake up in a timely fashion.
this will be a true test. ]
no subject
being in a relationship truly is a mistake because he's just thinking about how he'd shamelessly wake thorns up in the morning, but hmm
he's annoyed him quite a bit, hasn't he… what does he mean if it doesn't work out…
… ]
Yeah, sure. [ explodes. and by explodes he gets up and quickly kisses thorns' cheek to walk fastly back to his room. ] Sleep well.
[ sometimes a hail mary is a cheek kiss this is how desperate things are ]
no subject

they're so good at this? wow. ]
