[ 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?
[ 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... ]
[ 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 ]
[ 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. ]
[ 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. ]
[ 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?
[ 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. ]
When did I ever say that? You're putting words in my mouth out of nowhere. You're the one being all secretive about the date you were going to take me on.
[ sorry. peace was so short-lived. violence is once again on the agenda as thorns will have to act fast or his head will hit the bench. elysium bolts upright, frozen in place. ]
Were you going to ditch me afterward.
[ there are so many other reasons that would be more sensible than this. but also
first, and most urgently, his head now hurts because he did not act fast. he rubs the spot where it impacted against the bench as he stares in disbelief at elysium. ]
Why would I ditch you? Are you crazy?
[ they were being so cute and romantic earlier. what happened. ]
essentially what he did but he's delusional about it. there is a difference between a temporary tactical retreat and one that's for forever. he is projecting. ]
[ at that moment, a couple walk by, hanging off each other. elysium and thorns appear like they are in the middle of an argument with their stances, so the couple just whisper to each other before they hurry along.
Why would I be here if I were running away from you?
[ he digs his hole deeper. the couple nearby just has to be a pair of his classmates. of course they are. him and thorns are absolutely going to end up in the rumour mill now considering both of them are already notorious in their own rights.
he explodes internally. ]
I had class to get to, that's all. You're overthinking it again. [ … ]
More importantly, [ reluctantly moving closer towards thorns, his hand hovers awkwardly around the impact point. ] How's your head…? Sorry. My body moved itself.

[ wait, that sounds bad. he backtracks. ]
I just want to spend time with you.

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?
no subject
[ even if they're dating now, he isn't going to just forget their bet!!!! ]
no subject
he pokes him. ]
Did you still want to go on my date?
[ since it got cancelled due to deathly illness... ]
no subject
he puffs his cheek out. ]
Are you not going to take me on any dates whatsoever?
no subject
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. ]
no subject

[ 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. ]
no subject
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... ]
no subject

[ 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. ]
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
well. thorns has working hands too? he's just going to start tickling elysium in his sides. ]
no subject
Okay, okay! It was that bad and you didn't embarrass yourself! I get it!
no subject
what if... his idea actually was bad...? personally thorns does not think so, but how would it rank in romantic terms? hmmm.
his face is starting to hurt. ]
no subject
I was right.
no subject
[ because APPARENTLY they're BAD!!!! ]
no subject

[ there are so many other reasons that would be more sensible than this. but also
this is so funny given the other thread. ]

[ they were being so cute and romantic earlier. what happened. ]
no subject
he looks at thorns as if he's the crazy one——because he is. ]
The date you were going to take me on would be embarrassing enough it'd prompt you to? What other reason would there be?
[ not everyone is as dramatic as he is. maybe ]
no subject
thorns will kill him. this area is so secluded he can kill him and get away with it...? ]
Isn't that what you did to me this morning?
no subject
What? That's not what I did.

essentially what he did but he's delusional about it. there is a difference between a temporary tactical retreat and one that's for forever. he is projecting. ]
