Starts reading anyway. ]

[oversea]

[ OKAY

he is not sure what he expected. but he'll sit and listen to elysium, eventually closing his eyes.

he's not asleep but perhaps giving the illusion of sleep will please elysium... ]

[transmit]

[ It does.

…

At some point, he stops to ruffle Thorns' hair gently. His hand lingers for a few extra beats, warmth resting without commentary, before he finally withdraws it and turns the page. It's a book on being honest with yourself… ]

[oversea]

[ ....

he just continues to keep his eyes close. this is, at least, helping his headache... ]

[transmit]

[ …!!

He's the one who starts to doze sitting upright, head nodding off. It really is so awful forcing yourself to fly solo in the manor… Thorns is built different. ]

[oversea]

[ he can ignore a lot of his wants.

but he opens an eye after a while so he can watch elysium, noticing that he isn't reading as steadily anymore. ]

[transmit]

[ He wanted Thorns to sleep so he could sleep…





snzzzzz… ]

[oversea]

[ ...

he quietly gets up so he can collect the book and set it on a table. ]

Idiot.

[transmit]

[ is he going to still be there when he jolts awake half an hour later… ]

[oversea]

[ yeah



now he's reading the book. he definitely looks drowsy though, but he is trucking... he looks over at elysium. ]

Morning.

1/2

[transmit]

[ In a daze, he feels around for Thorns and finds his collar. He tugs him clumsily into a kiss, then——laughs. ]

That should count, right? It's insurance.

[transmit]

[ just kidding that also does not happen.

He sits uprights, yawns, then slouches again… ]

Learn anything?

[oversea]

Not really.

[ he sets the book on his lap. ]

You were tired.

[transmit]

[ How can he go back to o reading if Thorns has taken his book… ]

Maybe a little. Aren't you?

[oversea]

A little.

[ very much so. ]

Do you want to go to bed?

[ this is a horrible date. ]

[transmit]

[ This is still better than his date with Hak. ]

If that's what it takes for you to. I'll walk you back.

[ romantic ]

[oversea]

[ he didn't say he would..... ]

Are dates usually this short?

[transmit]

[ well. ]

They're as long as you want them to be. Did you want to check if your box was unlocked first?

[oversea]

No, I can check later.

[ he needs to put elysium to bed... that's the important thing right now... ]

[transmit]

[ He can be put to bed but it does not mean he will sleep well… He just thinks of it in terms of putting Thorns to bed. They're both stupid. ]

Okay. [ Thorns wants his privacy… understandable. ] Let's go.

[oversea]

[ how are they both so in sync and also so not at the same time. ]

... Did you ever get a roommate?

[transmit]

[ They could stand to not be at constant war trying to tell each other as little as possible, but here they are. ]

What do you think?

[ elysium is stupid but thorns can be stupider. what a silly question. ]

[oversea]

Things can change quickly...

[ you never know... ]

You didn't stay with me.

[transmit]

[ A little like a mutter: ]

You left, too…

[ when they were in elysium's room? hello? ]

[oversea]

[ ...

he remembers this from before he regained his memory... ]

Should I stay?
