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?
[ there are still so many opportunities to die don't speak so soon
as much as he wants to keep listening, he does eventually doze… and by eventually, he falls asleep pathetically fast—a little over a minute after his last word. his sleepy mumble is something about being the luckiest guy in the world.
blows up. he will fall asleep soon after, wondering how things are going to go when elysium is actually here. they are too pure babies... but he does send a text for elysium to wake up to the next morning. ]

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. ]

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.
no subject
but this guy nearly killed himself to get days off so the least thorns can do is this as he gets ready for sleep. ]
