[ imagine they get there and one of them just explodes from allergies

hmmm. ]

It has to look like a Thorn.

[ this is the best way to get over that one cat, yes. ]

[oversea]

We are not making it after me.

[ he is drawing a line here... this is not a jr situation. ]

[transmit]

[ okay.

he grumbles… ]

You name it then…

[oversea]

We'll pick a name when we see it.

[ so they don't get stuck with something really unfortunate on accident.

wow. adopting pets together? like a real couple. never mind that platonic friends can do this too. ]

[transmit]

I guess…

[ who would've thought closing your eyes would actually help? his mind drifts, wandering into the thought that maybe this is another thing he's forcing onto thorns…… but a creature feels like it'll do them good, and it's something they'll be able to care for together?

they eat, they hang out, and they share bits of each other's world—or rather, elysium occasionally joins thorns in his, but that isn't the same as having something they can call theirs. given that, maybe a dog would be better? they could teach it tricks, take it on walks—…

this is how he ends up falling asleep first, despite wanting so bad to be the last. snzzzz ]

[oversea]

[ ...

when elysium stops talking, thorns finally peeks. this whole experience has been strange, and often filled with moments of wondering if maybe they rushed into dating considering the confession happened during questionable circumstances.

but then there's this, and thorns thinks that maybe they did it right after all. he snaps a screenshot on his phone and then feels like a giant weirdo after.



zzzzz ]

[ this would be grossly unfair if it weren't likely for elysium to get up first. instead of taking a picture, he kind of just…

watches thorns sleep? until he rolls over or makes a sound or wakes up and then he'll feel weird about it and scurry away in shame. but really, he just wants to enjoy the moment; he should be allowed this much… even if he once again has work he needs to do.

it's fine. ]

[oversea]

[ it's fine..

elysium can have this moment of peace and tranquility until thorns' phone dies from lack of charging. goodbye. ]

[transmit]

[ HE WAS WATCHING THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

…

he feels as scorned as one would be when something they were greatly enjoying is taken away from them. ]

Keep your phone plugged in next time…

[ types that out in a hurry. realises… that is perhaps revealing a bit too much? maybe thorns won't read into it. it's fine it's fine it's fine ]

Um
Talk to you again later tonight.

If you're free!

[oversea]

[ when thorns eventually wakes up and plugs in his phone, he is still too sleepy to truly comprehend what elysium said. he might realize later. ]

👍
Okay.

[ he falls back asleep ]

[transmit]

[ go figure. today's picture is of more yogurt and oats! with fruit that's actually been cut up with care.

unsurprisingly, he ends up going to work in pretty good spirits. but then things explode and he's back to being murderous; he will not be heard of from for the rest of the day… ]

[oversea]

[ rip........

well now that thorns has a slightly better idea of what has been keeping elysium occupied he will be more careful about bothering him. he will send him a picture of fries at lunch time. ]

[transmit]

[ noooooooo… his thorns time…

he ends up not responding until just before midnight. ]

Did you get that in memory of me? Hmmmm?

[oversea]

Thought you would like them.
Sleep well.

[ BECAUSE ELYSIUM IS GOING TO BED RIGHT???? ]

[transmit]

I haven't had fries in ages… it's all health conscious food over here. Gross. Isn't this what I work out for? To cheat?
Have some with me when I'm back.

That aside, are you too busy to call tonight?

[ in their time away, elysium has realised one thing: they more or less guarantee thorns actually sleeping like a normal person… they have to keep going… ]

[oversea]

We can get some.

Give me ten minutes and I can call.

[ unless elysium needs more time than that... ]

[transmit]

That's fine.
Just call when you're ready

[ it feels weird to just end it like that, so hmmm. he also has no food laying around to snap a shot of?

…

thorns gets a selfie. yay! he's cozy in his pjs. ]

[oversea]

[ this is cute...

thorns was not going to bed and was doing work at his desk. so the ten minutes is him putting things away so that he can crawl into bed in a believable manner.

somehow the calls does work for going to bed because neither of them want to be lectured. ]

👍

[transmit]

[ not the both of them being fakers…

but, well. it gets them in bed and sleeping(?) so that's probably all that matters in the end. and while continuing to wait, thorns will get another picture!

they're silly lil duck slippers… next to a pair of crow ones, noticeably still in wrapping. ]

[oversea]

[



this is kind of cute. ugh. he will have to later think about the fact that he's at a stage of his life where he considers things like this cute. ]

Thank you.
I can call now.

[transmit]

[ they are not quite grown men, but they are old enough that there are people who would judge them for it. elysium couldn't care less, though. his whimsy… his impulse purchases… the real danger is thorns not saying it was a waste of money so

he feels encouraged. oh my god. they're about to end up with so many knickknacks. but thorns gets a lil wave when he picks up. ]

It's getting chilly and you get cold easily. [ immediately explains himself next. he sounds so proud of himself. ] Have you been dressing warm?

[oversea]

Yeah...

[ his definition of dressing warm and elysium's are likely not the same however. but he nods his head anyway. ]

What about you? Did you even pack jackets?

[transmit]

That yeah didn't sound very confident.

[ he stares into thorns' soul. ]

What if you get sick again and explode? You gotta take care of yourself better…

[oversea]

Why am I exploding...?

[ how sick is elysium imagining him? ]

I'll be fine. You can't get sick twice.

[transmit]

You make things explode all the time. Isn't the natural progression you exploding next?

[ what is the logic in this ]

And… shouldn't it be 'we'?
