the thing is, elysium hasn't forgotten that thorns was rude. he is going to get back at him somehow; he just doesn't know how. but this is good enough to placate him for the time being and to lull thorns into a false sense of safety.

he swings their hands again. time to purely go about their errands. 🥺 ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY SADIST

thorns is unaware of elysium's thought process so he is not worried about his immediate future. it's fine. they can do their shopping and go get the camera... ]

I'm a little surprised we didn't do this earlier.

[transmit]

[ HE HASN'T EVEN DONE ANYTHING? what if he decides to pull a very innocent prank? there are only wholesome thoughts in this noggin… ]

Eloping? We tried and then forgot we were eloping to begin with.

[ he's just being silly. ]

[oversea]

We did use marriage as our cover story.

[ which is fine.

until they forgot it was only a cover story and that they were not actually married, which shows how deeply they fall into delusion. this is normal. ]

[transmit]

[ this is very normal, much like them planning for their idyllic future. ]

We didn't exactly have a time window to get married back then. We did our best, didn't we?

[ stop justifying the delusions.

from escaping containment to hitching a ride off a cargo ship and stealing and bartering for people's clothes. those days feel so far away. ]

What were you really thinking about?

[oversea]

... Something to capture the memories with.

[ he knows why. there isn't as much of a point in keeping mementos when you're ready for the world to reset. every time they had something they found important only to need to leave it behind just made it easier to believe they didn't need anything else.

yes, they technically only need each other to keep moving, but that doesn't mean they should actually keep it that way. it's nice to have some extras. ]

[transmit]

Is it that strange? We haven't had much of a chance to think about it. Until now, our focus had been on survival…

[ well. the landship had been another story entirely. elysium isn't going to broach it unless thorns calls it out specifically. ]

Still is, but things are nowhere near as precarious.

[oversea]

[ they really have no excuse for it back when they were on the landship, yes. but mentioning that does go into why they were paranoid in the first place. things they continue to not talk about when they should. ]

You still did useless things during a bad time.

[ he's being rude in two threads. ]

[transmit]

[ why is he being so slandered.

he is starting to think being cute whenever thorns is rude isn't the solution to everything ever he'd thought it be because there is no cooldown to thorns being derogatory…

he thinks about extending his foot and thorns tripping over it. ]



Like what?

[oversea]

[ thorns will take elysium down with him.

but he has to think about it. and then shakes his head. ]

This feels like a trap.

[transmit]

[ this is why he's thinking and not doing. they are not putting off their elopement because they were busy being dumb and hurt themselves!!!!! ]

I just want to know what my lover considers useless. [ IT IS A TRAP!! ] What's wrong with that?

[oversea]

[ it's a trap...

thorns just looks at him for another long moment before leaning his head against elysium's shoulder. hiiii. ]

[transmit]

[ these bitches just started walking and now they're flirting again. considering the exchange they had not even half an hour ago, thorns has been distracting elysium by acting cute for so long now that it really shouldn't have been a groundbreaking revelation. and yet, elysium reacted like it was…

he glances down at thorns… ]

You aren't going to answer me, are you?

[oversea]

[ hmm. elysium not dropping the topic is a problem. ]

I don't think those things are relevant to our current situation.

[ so it is fine now. ]

[transmit]

[ thorns thinks he's so easy

he hasn't even been given a kiss… (this is still considered easy.) ]

What if I'm curious? I always want to know more about what you're thinking.

[oversea]

[ okay.

he goes quiet, still not lifting his head. ]

You're pretty nosy and loud. But I don't mind it anymore.

[transmit]

[ he places a hand on his lump of a not!husband. ]

If it's too quiet, you get all up in your head. What do you mean you don't mind? You used to be just as loud with your explosions.

[ smacks him but

gently. ]

Wow. That has to be a grievance from forever ago.

[oversea]

[ thorns doesn't think he was loud at all, and that's because he is biased and thinks his experiments have done nothing wrong ever. ]

I did say it didn't matter anymore.

[ he has other grievances but that was the primary one. ]

[transmit]

I'd even go so far to say it matters a lot now, doesn't it?

[ he goes from abusing thorns' poor head to draping over his shoulders. ]

What would you do without me?

[oversea]

[ 'die' is the actual answer.

but it's not the response that's needed in a world where they are trying to only reach a happy ending, so thorns will consider a different one instead. ]

I don't know. It's not something I need to imagine with you here.

[transmit]

[ help


elysium brightens again and starts rubbing his cheek on thorns'. ]




If you just stayed like this, you'd be forgiven every time. Why can't you always be this cute?

[oversea]

When do you think I'm not cute?

[ thorns cannot call himself cute but he needs to know elysium's opinion.

even though the answer should be obvious. ]

[transmit]

[

no comment. thorns didn't give him a kiss earlier, so here he is, giving thorns one right on the cheek. hi!!! ]

[oversea]

[ they really can't do anything without being annoying.

because thorns responds by kissing him on the mouth right after. ]

Yes?

[transmit]

It's been a while since we've kissed, that's all.

[ beams!

then



kisses thorns some more. okay. ]
