[ he has died of oripathy so many times by now that each time it really does just become easier after the initial onset. the way his ass is more of a pain than his debilitating rock cancer…
he did promise never to ignore thorns, so he won't. ]
I'm not. I'm going to experience the rest of my life with you, Thorns.
[ live hard, die hard. waste no second because every single one is precious. ]
[ but what does that mean when the rest of your life isn't actually that long of a time?
they really should have just rejected the job offer and kept moving. they could have found a safer job elsewhere, albeit one that likely wouldn't have paid as well as the one elysium had... but what's the point in all that money if it leads them into something that hurts them? ]
[ try convincing someone who’s never believed in a long life, or a forever. after living so many lives without making it beyond the next few years, anything beyond that is well within the realm of a fantasy. ]
Yeah? What would you do to convince me if I didn't?
[ which would be insane, considering thorns has chased him across timelines and abandoned his dreams for him—given up everything just to be with him now. how could elysium not? and how could thorns? ]
[ if they weren't currently separated by a cart and a burdenbeast, thorns would pull elysium towards him in this moment. instead, he just looks up at the sky, wondering how there was ever a time where he didn't tell elysium how much he loved him. it's really more than a lifetime ago. ]
[ why is thorns making this out to be a horror movie.
but, he's paying attention if only because they still need to be ready for fight or flight at any moment. thorns' presence is one he knows well, down to his scent and the cadence of his footsteps. unsteady for reasons, he lets himself fall clumsily into the this mysterious stranger's arms anyway, completing trusting, tilting his head back to smile. ]
[ he looks at him, before pressing a kiss to his temple... perfect position to do it. docybara continues to walk because he has not noticed his parents being gay yet.
[ docybara, also far too attached, stops a few steps away and looks around anxiously. it finds thorns and elysium just behind it and lets out a plaintive whine… this is how you give a creature trust issues. ]
It is now.
[ sorry. he'll get to docybara later. he has to kiss thorns for being cute or he will die. ]

So remember to stay with me.

[ 'people,' and not elysium specifically, because when thorns says everything, elysium believes it's everything. so much so— ]
You said the other day that you'd remind me as many times as I need. Why not do it now?
[ a cart and a burdenbeast aren't anything compared to what has separated them in the past. ]

but if he's paying attention, he may start to hear quiet footsteps behind him, until a hand reaches out to grab his hand and pull him backwards. ]
Hm?

thorns kisses the same spot again. ]
Haven't seen you in a while.
[ okay. ]
no subject
but until then, elysium just turns more of his body so he can properly wrap his arms around thorns. ]
You haven't. [ don't just agree. ] What took you so long?
no subject
[ this is such an awkward way to stand, but it's fine. thorns will always sacrifice comfort to be next to the only person who matters. ]
Is the view better over here?
