[ he is once again left on his own to grieve. okay.



he starts to wonder if they should adopt a dog. hmm. a dog wouldn't abandon him… ]

[oversea]

[ hes already giving up on the cat idea?!

okay.

much much later, elysium will get a picture of the labubu. ]

[transmit]

[ elysium's going through it he can't be trusted for shit!!!!!!

and another much, much later: ]

He looks cold.

[oversea]

[ he gets another picture.

the labubu is now tucked into bed. ]

[transmit]

[ cute… ]

What about you?

[ can thorns tuck himself into bed, thanks. ]

[oversea]

?
I don't own one of these.

[ that is obviously what elysium is asking? ]

[transmit]

You're just going to leave him alone in there?

[oversea]

Yes.
Unless you want me crawling into your bed?

[transmit]

It's not like I'm using it right now.

Isn't it comfier than yours?

[oversea]

What's wrong with my bed?

[ another picture

this one is a closer shot of the pillow. ]

[transmit]

When's the last time you changed your mattress?

I'm not sure what this picture's supposed to tell me…

[oversea]

It's your pillow.

Why would I change the mattress?

[transmit]

It's memory foam and ergonomic. You can try it if you want.

You didn't notice a difference between our beds when you were in it last time? I guess you were delirious more than half the time…

[oversea]

I wasn't paying attention to the beds.

I was paying attention to you being sick.

[transmit]

Okay.




You can pay attention to it now.

[oversea]

Go to sleep.

I did see all of your time stamps.

[transmit]

[ he hates it here ]

I'll sleep if you sleep.

[oversea]

[



he calls him. ]

[transmit]

[ oh.


he hurriedly finishes typing up a message before picking up. ]

What's the level of trust we're looking at? Having to fall asleep on the phone together?

[oversea]

Yes. That is the level.

[ at least he's being honest about it.

but elysium's hours make no sense if he's actually sleeping normally. ]

[transmit]

[

he will simply just wake up super duper early to make up for it. ]

Mm. I still need to brush my teeth and get changed…

[ and. finish an email. but he thinks he can squeeze that in between these two things without being too obvious? ]

You?

[oversea]

I don't have to do anything...

[ he was probably just going to watch tv until he fell asleep... but he saw a labubu mention and realized it's been a while since he's seen it so he went looking for it. ]

[transmit]

[ elysium is thinking thorns is so lonely he's seeking companionship from his labubu. elysium is officially the worst boyfriend…

this is why they need a creature (that is alive). ]

… Okay. I'm going to mute myself while I get ready. Give me ten?

[oversea]

Take your time.

[ but not too much time that thorns starts getting suspicious....

but he will sit in silence as he tries not to think about being in elysium's room. ]

[transmit]

[ he takes twenty, because he is required to deal with other people's stupidity. that said, elysium taking an absurdly long getting ready for bed is nothing new; it should not be surprising that it can stretch into the realm of longer. if anything! ten minutes would almost be too generous of an estimate even if he weren't sneaking in work.

in the meantime, thorns can occupy himself with whatever is in elysium's room. It is no more decorated than the last time he visited, but the shelves offer yearbooks and humiliating photos of them tucked between the pages to preserve them over the years.

but once he finally returns: ]

I dropped one of my bottles and had to clean up… you still there?

[ he'd be more embarrassed about this if he'd had more than a handful of seconds to think about this… ]
