If it was just me, it would've kept trying. You don't know what I've been through…

[ Haunting.

…



He lifts Thorns off his feet. ]

[oversea]

Why.

[ WHY IS HE BEING LIFTED ]

[transmit]

[ …

So they can go into the bed together. ]

I changed my mind. I need you as my bodyguard.

[ Tucks his face against Thorns' back. Thank god emotionshare week is over. ]

[oversea]

You're a pain...

[ he says this, but he... makes himself comfortable and just accepts this arrangement. ]

Is the date still going?

[transmit]

Isn't this why we have each other's backs…?

[ He will help Thorns mutiny again before he wins any war against cats. ]

But I guess so. It can officially end at midnight, whenever that is.

[ me just never questioning the passage of time ]

[oversea]

We'll be asleep. So it'll end in the morning...?

[ also doesn't question the passage of time. ]

They don't bother me as much. I think because Nene chases them.

[ which

is a completely different set of problems actually. ]

[transmit]

Yeah. Are you thinking of leaving right after?

[ How embarrassing would it be if their date didn't count as a date? A part of him wonders if this counts for intimacy, even if Thorns doesn't seem to care.

… His arm settle loosely around Thorns' waist. Funny how the insurance part just ended up happening. But also? They're two grown men in a fuckin single. ]

If you're going to do that, you should at least let me borrow Nene first.

[oversea]

What do I get in exchange for that?

[ is he running a charity? lending out his nene, who does not belong to him...

there's a pause, and then he turns so that he's facing elysium. ]

[transmit]

[ HE WANTS HIS BESTIE TO KEEP GETTING MENACED? ]

You're kidding me. Give me back the box I gave you.

[ Technically it has Thorns' name on it, but it is not Thorns'. Elysium is going to kill him. Or, well, attempt to; the kick he's about to deliver would be pathetic at best given there's zero room for a proper windup.

But then Thorns turns.

He freezes, staring back. ]

?

[oversea]

If you want it back you can go get it.

[ hi.

there isn't any specific reason for why he turned other than the fact that he wanted to; it's always better to talk to someone while looking at them, after all, even though this is a very close-up view of him. ]

Unless it was always a bribe for Nene...?

[transmit]

[ Hi…

His gaze drops down to avoid eye contact. Is Thorns' chest right in front of his face? Thanks. ]

You're the one making it transactional? Your good friend's out here fighting for his life, every day of his life. [ If he's talking twice as fast as he is usually, that's Thorns' imagination. ] Where's your sympathy?

[oversea]

[ it's just tits.....

maybe elysium just talks fast when he is really sleepy and scared of cats. ]

This is me being sympathetic.

[transmit]

[ his s-rank milkers…………… :florshed: ]

Leaving me to fend for myself?

[oversea]

[ HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY MILK

he rolls his eyes. ]

I'm with you right now. Is that not enough?

[transmit]

[ twitter would never lie to me ]

I'm talking about after.

[ head butts. ]

[oversea]

[ now he is being attacked after doing him a favor... rude. ]

You're not going to ask to move in with me again?

[transmit]

[ THIS IS A PART OF THEIR DATE WHAT FAVOUR ]

That ship has sailed.

[ … ]

Would you move in with me instead?

[ literally what is the difference. ]

[oversea]

[ there is no difference!!!!!! elysium is so annoying.

he reaches over to poke him on the cheek. ]

Do you just not want to move your stuff?

[transmit]

You have less than me…

[ If Thorns wants to hand deliver him an excuse, sure.

Also, that's only because all of Thorns' junk is probably now in the lab. Elysium puffs his cheeks out… don't be mean. ]

… Besides. It'll be easier to tell if you ever go missing.

[ proceeds to now appeal to thorns' logical side. thinks about saturdays. ]

[oversea]

Oh.

[ right, he supposes that could happen to him too. ]

Worried?

[transmit]

[ This is how a hand touches Thorns' tentatively. ]

Wouldn't you be? Disappearances haven't doubled up yet.

[ ]

[oversea]

[ hmm.

he adjusts his position so he can hold onto elysium's. is this what he wanted... ]

If it happens I'll just have to handle it. What else can I do?

[transmit]

[ i like how you just accepted my empty brackets instead of telling me i had empty brackets i'm in tears

But damn, Purgatory really has acclimated Thorns to handholding. It's a little surprising——but he'll just let it happen, neither holding on or trying to shrug him off. ]

No, but if I know you're among one of them to begin with I can get to you that much faster.

[oversea]

At least we know how the river works now.

[ granted... he is not a fan of how it works. ]

I'll be okay.

[transmit]

Whether you'll be okay or not doesn't change how I feel.

[ his murderous intent is RISING again. ]
