[ their entire time dating has been fairly unorthodox, and a lot of the time it hasn't quite felt like they have been doing it properly. there are obvious changes, of course; they wouldn't have fallen asleep on calls together then.
but then it's moments like this that really does show things have changed. ]
[ just slams onto the pedal causing them to crash into and set an adjacent car on fire
—i wish. he just commits the crime of stalling in the middle of the parking lot, only coming to when the person behind him honks at him multiple times in impatience. ]
Yeah? [ clears his throat. scrambles to finish his reverse job. what is this virgin behaviour. ] We'll have to leave each other plenty of reminders, then. So we feel it less.
[ they do not think about how they practically lived a year with each other without really living that year with each other. ]
[ listen. their history is complicated and if they think about it for too long it definitely speeds into awkward territory, so it is best to just ignore it until they are settled enough in their relationship they won't immediately think maybe they should break up. ]
[ assumes because thorns takes mostly late afternoon classes we are now at early evening… but maybe it isn't winter where they are and it isn't completely dark at 5pm. must be nice ]

You don't think it's living a little?
[ he reaches over to flick thorns' head. ]
My car's at the mechanic. Stop coming to weird conclusions.
no subject
thorns was going to ask next if elysium isn't using his car because he is paranoid of being tailed, but okay. ]
Uh huh. [ ... ] Hey.
no subject
which they can get to in a tag or two. before that, he quirks a brow at thorns. ]
What's up?
no subject
[ it has been so long.
also odd to think that the last time they were together in person they parted in really awkward terms. ]
no subject
he explodes.
and then for whatever godforsaken reason decides to make this worse. ]
Hm? I feel like there's a cuter way of wording that.
no subject
[ elysium just crash the car and take them both out. ]
You can say it so I'll know.
no subject
as he's backing in and looking in the rearview mirror (is he looking in his rearview mirror?): ]
I've missed you.
no subject
but then it's moments like this that really does show things have changed. ]
... I missed you too.

no subject
Do you have anything in mind?
no subject
[ he wants his selfies but of course he wants his selfies… ]
For now, we've still got our date. C'mon.
[ why
are they in the middle of nowhere. elysium doesn't think anything of this and just goes around to open the door for thorns. ]
no subject
... Are we walking?
[ do they still have to wear the disguises ]
no subject
[ he pulls down his hood so probably not. ]
We're hiking.
[ already starts moving forward while tugging thorns. elysium is the worst kind of person. ]
no subject
thorns stares after him, but does allow himself to be pulled along. ]
A hike to where?
no subject
[ date options are so limited when it's a weekday and your boyfriend dislikes crowds… ]
I thought what matters is that we're here together?
no subject
but he will trust elysium. ]
I'm surprised you didn't tell me to put on sunscreen.
no subject
he just comes to a complete stop. ]
You didn't put on any this morning?
[ assumes because thorns takes mostly late afternoon classes we are now at early evening… but maybe it isn't winter where they are and it isn't completely dark at 5pm. must be nice ]
no subject
I forgot.
no subject
The meal kits have been more helpful than you want to admit, haven't they? [ WHAT ELSE HAS HE FORGOTTEN!!
except, wait. ] Should I look for a housekeeper to go over the place before I come back?
[ one fear ]
no subject
[ he does not want someone in their place. ]
I can clean.
no subject
Thorns?
[ THORNS? ]
no subject
[ thorns gave up on the meals but he is drawing a line here!!!! ]
no subject
[ how can one man do so much damage ]
no subject
he kicks him lightly. ]
I mean it.
no subject
it's exactly because he's feeling so romanced that elysium slips his his hand into thorns'… ]
I have to make sure you're looked after.
