[ 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.
[ only says this because he knows it'll make thorns happy.
but off they go… they can keep chatting on the walk and drive back… everything seems pretty normal?
everything is pretty normal until they get to the apartment itself and elysium is immediately accosted by what looks like people who are a part of a secret service. okay. elysium flails and tells thorns to go on ahead. ]

[ 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…

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
[ 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). ]
