Enjoying the view.

[ by view he means thorns, which is why he is stupidly stubborn about keeping his hand over thorns' eyes. give him this. ]

That's what I come here for, but weren't you just saying you usually nap? Go ahead.

[oversea]

[ this is so silly. thorns is not going to have a 30 minute nap, he'll wake up even more cranky.

but he does at least give up on trying to remove elysium's hand from his face. ]

You wake up earlier. You should be napping.

[transmit]

[ he very slowly removes his hand from thorns' face to peer at it more directly. is it safe? not safe? a mystery. ]

I'm not the one barely functional during mornings. Just being here is enough of a recharge for me.

[oversea]

[ they can look at each other then. this is an important step to try not to get embarrassed so easily. ]

The scenery is that helpful?

[transmit]

[ this is going too fast too soon?

he's back to blocking thorns' gaze. stop that. ]

It's always been…

[ why are they just the two extremes at any given time. ]

[oversea]

[ he is once again blind.

thorns moves his hand back to elysium's to try to get it off, but then he just. pauses. so that his hand is simply resting over elysium's. ]

What do you see?

[transmit]

[ he explodes and goes through a reboot loop.

… ]

Someone who's made life's journey brighter.

[ —and then god hand clamps down on thorns' tight. ]

Don't make fun of me.

[oversea]

I'm not making fun of you...

[ elysium is weirdly cute. not for the first time, he wonders why elysium hasn't dated before. elysium has solved this mystery already by admitting he was hung up over thorns but also

he still could have dated... people had to have asked him out, right? ]

You'd know if I were.

[transmit]

[ looks at fandom. he probably dated once or twice in the time they weren't talking, everyone decided he was a fuckboy after, and he's since concluded casual dating just isn't worth the trouble. he'll simply stonewall everyone who even tries instead.

but the words earn thorns a sliver of trust. he shifts their hands a moment later, cheeks still red if thorns chooses to try and peek again. ]

Yeah? How so?

[ this is a trap. ]

[oversea]

I can't tell you.

[ how will elysium know on his own or not if thorns just spells it out.

still, he doesn't want elysium to swing back to he is getting teased, so thorns adds on, ]

I'm as nervous as you are.

[transmit]

Really?

[ the moment he finally accepts that no real napping will happen, he just sighs and pokes at thorns' cheek. the disbelief is clear in his tone because he truly is, but he accepts it easily without pressing any further.

thorns might have no common sense, but he's no liar. he wonders if he's allowed to probe a little? ]

You said before that you never thought about what you want out of a relationship. Have you thought about it now?

[oversea]

Not really.

[ wait, that sounds bad. he backtracks. ]

I just want to spend time with you.

[ it's difficult imagining doing some stereotypical date things with elysium, but that's because it's hard to picture himself doing it. he needs to get past that... ]

[transmit]

[ there isn't one way to experience a relationship, nor does he want to rush thorns or project his idea of one on him. at the end of the day, what does matter is that they're together and spending time with another…

at this rate, they are never going to get past holding hands, but sometimes it be like that. ]

Right? Good to know you feel the same. We have a lot of time to catch up on.

[ as they both continue to be busy almost all the time ]

[oversea]

[ elysium you are allowed to present your own ideas... it's fine. stop being respectful.

but they really do have a lot to catch up on. even without the romantic relationship aspect of it all, they did miss years of each other's lives. there's a lot they no longer know about the other since they're both private. ]

Are you going to tell me what our date is?

[transmit]

Are you going to tell me what date you're going to take me on?

[ even if they're dating now, he isn't going to just forget their bet!!!! ]

[oversea]

[ hmmm...

he pokes him. ]

Did you still want to go on my date?

[ since it got cancelled due to deathly illness... ]

[transmit]

[ help.

he puffs his cheek out. ]

Are you not going to take me on any dates whatsoever?

[oversea]

[ he pokes his cheeks. ]

Well, we're dating.

[ he assumes there will be dates... he just does not know if elysium wants to be taken on the exact one thorns was thinking of still... now that they are actually together. ]

[transmit]

[ he huffs some more. this time it's in a kind of stunned disbelief, like he can't decide whether to laugh or accuse? ]

Oh? Was it going to be a date you wouldn't take someone you're seeing?

[ elysium's imagination takes him to the worst places all the time. is that what thorns does instead of committing? casual flings?? thorns isn't like that, though? at least, he thinks so?

elysium is mostly kidding. maybe. ]

[oversea]

[ elysium stop spiraling.

thorns does not know where his brain is taking him though, so he only pokes him again. ]

I can't tell you what kind of date it was going to be.

[ it needs to be a secret... ]

[transmit]

[ he can't not spiral if thorns evades his questions, hello?? ]

You saying that is only going to make me more curious. Why?

[ this is no longer cute or pure. they're right back to pvp as god has intended. instead of poking, he grabs both of thorns' cheeks in one hand, pinching until his lips pucker. speak, or he's going to hold onto this misunderstanding forever. ]

[oversea]

Do you want to steal my date idea?

[ or, at least, that is what he tries to say. it is likely difficult to understand him considering he is being attacked!!

he is also getting so defensive because elysium is not letting this drop. ]

[transmit]

What was that? Why can't I know?

[ he might've not have heard thorns clearly but that did not sound like something he'd wanted to hear.

he squeezes thorns' cheeks harder. ]

[oversea]

[ annoying!!!!




well. thorns has working hands too? he's just going to start tickling elysium in his sides. ]

[transmit]

[ unlike thorns he had perfect justification for wanting to inflict violence!! what the fuck!!!!! ]

Okay, okay! It was that bad and you didn't embarrass yourself! I get it!
