[ he has to preserve thorns' innocence… they do not know this but the mermaid shoot could be the beginning of a very slippery slope? thorns' future as a lads' cosplayer nears. ]
… But shouldn't you be sleeping soon? The sooner you do, who knows. The faster good news might find you.
How can I keep going with the bit when you're being this cute? It's a week, a week… I didn't want to say anything until I was actually with you, though.
[ it feels like anything can happen after he'd gotten kidnapped in broad daylight… ]
[ HE REALLY DID JUST GET KIDNAPPED IN THEIR PARKING LOT his neighbors probably asked him about it later and thorns had to awkwardly avoid talking about it. ]
I pulled up airline tickets. I don't even know where I'd be flying to.
… Kind of. I don't think I've ever heard you sing before, even though you're a remarkable dancer. [ these two things do not exactly correlate, but it should mean at least mean he has a sense of rhythm…? ] Can you?

After this game. I'm winning.
[ he really has been playing chess this whole time. ]
no subject
[ there's the sound of a huff. ]
Just for that, I'm gonna wish for your downfall.
no subject
sadly, thorns finds this endearing more than anything. ]
That's fine. I'm already getting what I would have wished for anyway.

The part where it's not a week and only just the two days?
no subject
But it is a week...
[ you can hear the fear in his voice... ]
no subject
[ elysium would do this to christmas? ]
no subject
the way elysium's schedule as been so insanely strict that this is actually possible so thorns can't call bullshit on it. ]
Okay...
no subject
Just okay?
[ what does he expect thorns to do? kidnap him?? from this undisclosed location he does not know anything about? okay. ]
no subject
[ his threats against the company... ]

[ ??? ]
Are you done your game yet?
[ DON'T JUST MOVE ON FROM THAT ]
no subject
[ HE'S NOT MOVING ON FROM THAT HELLO ]
Are you sure they're not mafia?
no subject
…
Just kidding. Go to sleep, Thorns.
no subject
this just convinces him more this place is secretly evil. ]
You're going to sleep too, right?
no subject
Mm. I want the 25th to come, too.
Do you want to fall asleep together again?
no subject
[ ... ]
I lost my game.
[ unsurprising, since he spent the entire time chatting. but he'll get up and move to the bed. ]
no subject
[ …
a sigh, and the sound of a balcony door sliding shut. ]
I didn't find my shooting star, either.
no subject
[ see? it can still be romantic.
and that one seems more depressing than losing a chess match. ]
no subject
… I just wanted whatever you'd want to come true, but if you weren't looking, I guess it doesn't matter that much.
[ he plops onto bed. ]
Have you ever sang a lullaby in your life?
no subject
[ there's no point to wish...
but hm. ]
No. Do you want me to?
no subject
… Kind of. I don't think I've ever heard you sing before, even though you're a remarkable dancer. [ these two things do not exactly correlate, but it should mean at least mean he has a sense of rhythm…? ] Can you?
no subject
[ ...
this is kind of embarrassing, so he'll just start by humming instead of actually singing anything... ]
no subject
I didn't think you'd actually do it. Did Christmas come early?
[ then a little more softly— ]
Keep going.
