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?

[oversea]

Last year I just went home.
We didn't do anything special.

Don't stress if you can't get more days though.
Just getting three is probably difficult.

[transmit]

You rarely ask for anything!
I didn't realise my companionship meant so much to you… hehe.

I'll try my best.

[oversea]

Well
We are dating.

[ even if it hasn't felt like it for the past week. ]

Let me know how it goes.

[transmit]

[ is it that thorns looked a dictionary definition of dating or something like it and came to the understanding that this is what is normal in relationships, or does he genuinely feel that way… a mystery. elysium tries not to think about it too much, shaking his head to dispel the thought. ]

I will
Don't worry about getting me anything our gift to each other this year can be our time

[oversea]

?
Okay.
Work hard

[transmit]

[ he is trying his best out here… ]

I'll make sure you wake up to me there.

[oversea]

👍

We have a lot to catch up on.

[transmit]

[


the heart wants thorns to meet him at the airport… the brain wants him to get his sleep.

oh well. ]

See you soon.

[oversea]

[ he will just get a picture sent in response...

it's the labubu staring out of the living room window ]

[transmit]

[ HELP

thorns you are so funny. is this how they're communicating now? he snaps a picture of a folded up blanket in response.

stay warm… it's winter and cold. ]

[oversea]

[ another picture...

it is just if his hand doing a thumbs up. ]

[transmit]

[ and a finger heart…… for his troubles. ]

[oversea]

[ he... hearts the picture. ]

[transmit]

[ why can't he heart thorns' heart… sad. puts in a complaint to apple.

but he contemplates this for several real seconds before he's back to thinking about what really matters (but not to him): sleep.



the next day, he tries to get back to sending thorns pictures. it's his breakfast again—a continental spread now that he doesn't have to hide it. ]

[oversea]

[ okay... this is much better than just saying good morning.

thorns sends him a picture of coffee and oatmeal. elysium cancelled the meal kit but he still has the food that was shipped for the current week left. ]

[transmit]

[ please don't let not properly feeding yourself be the next source of discourse. ]

If you stop eating regularly, I'll be sad.

[oversea]

[ he will eat it will just be the most stereotypically guy in college diet you can imagine. ]

I won't.
Don't be sad.

[transmit]

[ stop……

there is a gif of a crying creature in the rain. ]

[oversea]

Stop that
No frying
Crying
