[ albeit to a lesser extent (several magnitudes less, honestly), i'd argue they also need therapy in the other thread, but it's fine
elysium cuts thorns a look as if this is his fault. ]
That's only because you didn't chase it away hard enough.
[ he steals another kiss since thorns didn't get the memo. ]
… Was it for my cough, or the other thing?

[ i just wanna say i get so emotional opening up tags and not having to wait a whole minute for them to load now
truly why did we do that to ourselves ]
One of the things I inadvertently tested was the trajectory of my Oripathy when left alone. A lot of the times, I had to go off to ensure no one would get in my way.
[ just how many cycles had to have happened for him to realise that? ]
… At the year mark. [ he tucks his head into thorns, kissing the underside of his jaw. ] That's when I'd have to buy myself time again.

[ it's still a topic that they skirt around instead of openly discussing. they may occasionally allude to it now and then, but the moment always passes and they move onto something else. but knowing that elysium has gone through so many loops without him and suffered is not something that is easy to get over.
if thorns wasn't being so careful of elysium's injury, he would be gripping onto him tightly right now. instead, he just clutches onto his clothes to try not to disturb the wound area. ]
... Any reaction I'd have to this you'd call an overreaction.

[ he kisses thorns again, angling for more of his attention to ease the tension. it's true——thorns should relax. a novel idea, he knows.
this is what happens when you're just a little good at memorisation and solving simple puzzles. at the end of the day, he's no genius. ]
You owe me a wedding and a honeymoon. [ a small reminder. ]

You will have it.
[ a year, which they no longer have because of all the time they spent in the village. he wonders when elysium was originally planning on bringing this up, if he ever was going to.
it does, unfortunately, make the idea of reaching out to rhodes look a lot better. but thorns is aware that their little adventure will be over once that happens; elysium would definitely be whisked away to medical and stuck there for who knows how long. ]
I need you to not get hurt again.

[ his fingers curl into thorns' front, forehead moving to rest against his shoulder. with the reminder of how many lives he's lived comes the reminder of how many deaths thorns has gone through. ]
I won't. Not if you're the one with me.
[ is this how he stops thorns from getting into other people's business? maybe. ]
