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.
he goes to class alone. the kiss is only so affecting until reality hits and elysium feels like he would've much rather had thorns with him instead? he does not believe in h*rny… yet…
does thorns text him or is he going to just get jumpscared by elysium waiting for him at the end of his last class. ]
[ thorns blows himself up and drags his corpse to campus...
considering he is already not the type to send a lot of texts he just stares at his phone for a good part of the day wondering what is normal dating behavior. they started this relationship in such an unorthodox manner that he doesn't know what to do... ]
well, the exchange does make him feel somewhat better about himself. he will still wonder if he's being too clingy, but it's fine… they can drop hanging out in the mornings and just see each other after class?
he has a few hours to kill between the end of his and thorns that he spends with various people asking him where he's been, but he will eventually find himself back in thorns' department.
the way he immediately has to pvp sc*en again the things he does for love ]
[ hilariously the reason thorns finds out elysium is there is because he hears someone talking about how some guy is arguing with scien. while that is not too unusual, the fact that they don't recognize who it is means it's someone who doesn't normally hang around the lab area.
thorns wanders over... and raises a hand in greeting. is elysium dead. ]
[ thorns is just like, who the hell is he secretly meeting up with on campus? kitten?? is he being taken to a place elysium used to make out with his ex at???
he just nods... ]
It'll be easier.
[ he is still examining him. a few people are squinting at them questioningly. ]
There's a nice spot near the library that can act as our halfway point. I'd show you now, but…
[ can thorns at least voice his concerns so elysium can defend his honour? no? okay…
…
there is a needle-sized hole on one of his sleeves. if thorns notices it, he tries his best to distract by making a grab for thorns' hand. ]
I have to make it for my part-time job. Sorry.
[ he looked terrible in the morning and he still looks terrible now, but that's all dependent on whether or not thorns has the discerning eye for makeup in this timeline unlike the other. he's fine!!!! ]
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 ]

You didn't wake me up..... ..
no subject
Did you want to be woken up?
[ ? he thought thorns' kiss was his way of telling elysium to go on ahead after falling asleep? ]
no subject
a minute passes before the next response comes. ]
Sorry.
no subject
I'll see you after class 😊
[ there are so many problems but elysium will mention none of them
the honeymoon lasted ten minutes ]

he is not dead (yet), but he is currently cornered while scien has another syringe in hand. what the hell is this department. ]
no subject
thornsb hurries over. this is the fastest anyone has seen him move? but he is grabbing onto elysium's arm and yanking him towards him. ]
Let's go.
no subject
he lets himself be dragged until they're finally out and in the clear(?) ]
I don't think I should be waiting around your building…
no subject
I guess I can't let you go unsupervised...
[ it's mumbled more to himself than to elysium. ]
no subject
Mm. What do you think of a secret meetup spot? I know plenty on campus.
[ how. why. but this is romantic, isn't it? ]
