[ there is a reason why elysium was so mortified by thorns' rejection!! okay!!!!!! he would technically be okay with thorns being given the reminder of their dark history, but he would also die.

anyway. ]

Three… two… one!

[ tada! he waves comfortably from bed. ]

[oversea]

[ elysium gets a visual of the labubu




and then of thorns crawling into the bed a second after. he picks the phone up. hi. there is a light bruise on his cheek. ]

[transmit]

[ this is so cute





but then his cheer (and arm) drop so fast. ]

Did you get into a fight?

[oversea]

Why are you immediately jumping to a fight?

[ the answer is yes, but that's not important. ]

[transmit]

[ he is going to kill thorns then kill the person he got into a fight with ]

Are you going to tell me you tripped and fell on your cheek, then?

[oversea]

No. But I took care of it.

[ he did very abruptly hang up the other day for a reason.

... ]

It's just nice to see you.

[transmit]

[ does thorns think he's going to let this go that easily? hello?? ]

Was it the same guy from last time? He made it sound like he took the hint…

[ murderous thoughts just before bed. perfect. ]

[oversea]

[ elysium should let it go... thorns has moved on. ]

He has taken the hint.

[ elysium has ignored thorns' pathetic attempt at flirting. he will never do it again. ]

[transmit]

[ …

not only has he consulted a lawyer, but now he wonders if he needs to look into a private investigator? he settles into his pillows if only because there is nothing else he can do, while contemplating things that only deeply delusional trust fund kids in a kdrama do.

he droops. cycling back: ]

Mm. Sorry we can't do more than just see each other.

[ stop. they* can attempt to pathetically flirt together now. ]

I should be there for you.

[ thorns was there for him…… ]

[oversea]

[ in every world, elysium will jump to the extreme choice when it comes to thorns.

thorns has realized that asking for details will always end in being ignored, so he will go for a more general question. ]

Do you know when you'll be back?

[ he still does not think their date is happening... ]

[transmit]

[ if thorns could stop getting himself into extreme situations elysium would not be jumping to extremes. has he considered that. ]

Thursday afternoon, latest. I'm jumping out a window if I have to.

[oversea]

Don't do that. We would have to have our date at the hospital.

[ for elysium's broken legs... ]

[transmit]

Huh? I don't mean it literally. I thought about it earlier. I could pretty easily use the pipes to slide down from balcony to balcony.

[ why

was he thinking about this ]

[oversea]

Are you being held ransom somewhere?

[ was elysium kidnapped and he is refusing to let thorns know to not worry him? is that what's happening? ]

[transmit]

[ he seems to consider this. ]





No. But I've definitely been kidnapped.

[oversea]

[ the way he genuinely can't tell if this is a joke or not because elysium won't tell him anything. ]

Do I need to come get you.

[transmit]

Do you want to be caught in here with me?

[ his level of faith ]

I just need to finish a bit more work… I already said that if they pile anything else on me, I'm leaving.

[oversea]

[ shaking

he tries to be casual about this news. ]

What kind of work is it?

[transmit]

Just some family business.

[ this is not a lie. ]

They wanted me to start taking over once I graduated, but they also wanted me to get in work experience beforehand. [ … ] Complications came up that needed me around, is all.

[oversea]

Oh.

[ ... well, thorns did think elysium's chosen major was an odd choice for him, but they stopped talking for long enough that he assumed that he had some sort of epiphany during that time period and never asked. so it's a family reason... ]

Where are you? What city?

[transmit]

[ not the 'oh' ]

You can't skip any more classes, Thorns…

[oversea]

So you're far enough that I'd be skipping a lot of classes to go to you...

[ not the same city then. ]

[transmit]

[ oh my god ]

Isn't this waaaaaay too much brain activity for someone who should be sleeping soon?

[oversea]

[ he points the camera to the labubu. ]

It's a normal amount of brain activity.

[transmit]

No it isn't. Normal Thorns brain activity before bed doesn't involve trying to triangulate people's locations. Shouldn't you be thinking about molecular theory? Or the bio weapons you have developing under everyone's noses?

[ he points his to the wall in retaliation. okay. ]

I was watching that.
