You can take care of yourself, right? I've been excessi—

[ and then the accident happens, and, well. okay. he cuts himself short. he can't exactly say anything against that either, and just grimaces to himself. ]

… Stay safe. Don't feel rushed to. I'll be around.

[oversea]

[ ah... timing...

he will just scurry over to make sure everyone is safe and stand there as they argue over who is at fault... thorns waits patiently for the cops to come and he immediately points at who caused it... annoying...

an hour passes, ]

[ it's midnight and elysium has been working all day yesterday and today

in fact, he hadn't even made it to his bed, head atop a table with papers strewn about. he's snoozing with his phone right in front of him… ]

[oversea]

[ well, that's not a surprise. he sends another message once it becomes apparent elysium isn't going to answer. ]

Good night.

[transmit]

[ life is hard when you can't gauge your boyfriend's feelings in-person. when he startles awake in the morning, he frowns at the two messages. ]

You should've called me…

[oversea]

You don't get enough sleep.

[transmit]

[ this isn't wrong, but it doesn't feel entirely right, either. rocking the boat again so soon after what might as well count as an argument seems ill-timed, and so— ]

I guess
Take care of yourself today

[ attached is a cancellation receipt of the meal kits… time to go about his day and find his zen. ]

[oversea]

[ he really cancelled... hm. this truly just means thorns is going back to eating like shit but here we are.





this is so awkward. he has no idea what to do to fix this since it's really just a question mark as to what's wrong. but thorns will also just. go about his day. ]

[transmit]

[ why does thorns do this bursts into tears

everything is fixed. it's fine. elysium has withdrawn into himself but he will be the least annoying he's ever been in his life? woah.

he'll try to at least tell thorns good morning or goodnight. this is the level their relationship is at, now… ]

[oversea]

[ blows up


this will go on for about a week because they both need to die. at that point, ]

Are you allowed?

[transmit]

[ the way it's genuinely been so long that without context the text itself is kind of ? ]

Allowed to what?

[oversea]

[ it is kind of insane to expect elysium to know what he meant but he is still a little disappointed that he didn't. ]

Visit.

[transmit]

Oh
I've earned two days so far

[oversea]

I see
How many are you trying to aim for?

[transmit]

How many days would be too many?

[oversea]

I don't know.
I don't usually do vacations.

[transmit]

We'll just be in town, so…
Maybe three will be enough

[oversea]

That includes the days you're arriving and leaving?

[transmit]

I'll fly in at morning and fly out at night
That's pretty much three full days

[oversea]

Wait

Are you far away enough that you need to fly in?

[transmit]

Oh



Yeah


The last time I rented a car and drove so I wouldn't get stopped at the airport
But I have permission now

[oversea]

[ he drove...

............ ]

Is four days too hard to get?

[transmit]

Did you have something specific you wanted to do?

[ he is strangely nervous being around thorns now… scary ]

[oversea]

Not really.
Three days just doesn't seem like a long time.

[transmit]

Right…

I'm not sure when the next time will be, so I'll try to get as much as I can.



You don't usually take the holidays off? What do you do, then?
