[ why is thorns so funny. his budding fandom is thinking about kissing him more than elysium is because he's still thinking about respectful boundaries… they have to go slow. ]
I'm more concerned with you getting back. What is it like, an hour's drive?
[ this is a reasonable guess for a drive that is out of the way enough to not visit often but still doable to come here for a date. truly it wouldn't be an hour's flight, right?? ]
Yeah, it's not too long. I don't have much going on tomorrow, [ lie ] which is why I was confident I could make it. Let me send you back before you fail me for real, bro.
[ a pause. ]
Besides, it's not like I'm being entirely altruistic? It gives me extra time with you.

It really is the same. I have another shoot scheduled to happen soon.
no subject
but, oh. he seems to perk up. ]
This reminds me! You don't check social media, do you? You haven't suddenly developed a taste for internet gossip in the two weeks we've been apart?
no subject
[ the way elysium probably made him sign up for some socials in high school and thorns proceeded to never use them ever again. ]
no subject
anyway, he hands thorns over his phone to show him a tw*tter poll. in this universe, he wins most kissable newcomer as he deserves. ]
no subject
That's not true.

You're so popular.
no subject
It will pass. They're just interested in something new.
no subject
he pokes thorns' cheek. ]
It's a list specifically for newcomers. You beat ten other people. Are you embarrassed?
no subject
[ this is such a baby complaint. ]
no subject
I voted. I see…
no subject
EXPLODES. ]
Did you...
no subject
[ his expression looks like he's trying to hold back laughter so bad. they can just hold hands forever. it's fine. ]
no subject
[ they're dating!!! he is not part of the faceless internet mob... ]
no subject
then, he kisses him on the cheek so quickly it's almost easy to miss. ]
Heheh.
no subject
Don't you have a boyfriend?
no subject
no subject
Did he?
no subject
[ He will very demurely rock on his heels while lacing his hands behind his back. Look how behaved he is… ]
no subject
thorns just reaches out to grab onto his arm. this is... date-like? he should have done research first. ]
no subject
he just leans into him until their sides are fully touching, head resting against thorns'. so much progress for one night. insane. ]
no subject
but even if the date had its questionable moments, thorns can say he's content. ]
Hi.
no subject
[ in the end…… they are not any closer to kissing. ]
… Should I send you back soon?
[ it is getting to be the hours that only i, ly, would be awake. ]
no subject

no subject
[ he is aware elysium doesn't need it but this is killing him. shouldn't he pay for something on a date... equality? (they are both men). ]
