[oversea]

[ THEY REALLY HAVE DEEPLY OPPOSING EFFECTS AT PLAY HERE.

he continues to pet him... begrudging because he isn't getting what he wants... this is torture? ]

Should I do something else? Tell me what to do to please you.

[ so he can be complimented 🥺 ]

[transmit]

[ "You're noisy…"

NOT THE OPPOSITE OF A COMPLIMENT.

But he's also hugging Thorns again so he thinks that should make up for it? And even if it doesn't, it should because he's said so.

This really is a way to get them to never engage with these mechanics again… never will Thorns be at risk of deviant behaviour. ]

[oversea]

[ this isn't even fun deviant behavior... he is only getting rejected with the powers at play here...

but elysium more or less gave thorns an order so he shuts up.





he waits for elysium to tell him how good he is at being quiet....... ]

[transmit]

[ you can still ask the mods to turn him into an omega

But the quiet does do something for him… wow… a likely agonising twenty minutes where Elysium has the best twenty minutes of his life in the lap of his favourite person(?) later, he's suddenly feeling a lot more charitable. ]

What's one thing you want to hear?

[oversea]

Tell me I'm doing good...

[ he has never needed validation more in his entire life, he is going to explode and need to go into the river again because this is far more serious than cyoa wounds.

they should have never made up........ was it worth not being praised..... ]

[transmit]

…

You're doing fine, I guess.

[ i'm not sure what thorns expected ]

[oversea]

[ this feels... okay. it could be better. it does not truly give the impression that elysium thinks he is praise worthy, so thorns is not getting any serotonin.

...

he just flops down, letting his back hit the floor. ]

I'm... not doing a good job.

[transmit]

[ The way it takes Thorns reaching his despair event horizon for Elysium to pay him more attention. This is not right.

Is he… an asshole? He lays down next to Thorns and curls up next to him, tilting his cheek over to face him directly. ]

I didn't need you to do anything like that. It's enough that you're just there.

[ okay he says this but he was thoroughly enjoying the attention until he wasn't. what was that. ]

[oversea]

... Okay.

[ he scoots even closer to him. ]

Have you told anyone else that they did good...?

[transmit]

[ they're already next to each other how close are they getting ]

Why would I tell anyone that?

[ wait. ]

Oh. Reirin.

[oversea]

[ extremely close.

but thorns has to think about this. ]

That's fine.

[ JUST ACCEPTS REIRIN GETTING A COMPLIMENT THAT HE IS UNABLE TO RECEIVE..... ]

[transmit]

[ Why is he saying it's fine? He should be saying it isn't fine. What happened to wanting his validation so badly. He was…… supposed to get jealous!!!

… ]

No one else can tell you you're good.

[oversea]

[ he needed to say someone who isn't a 15 year old girl....

thorns snuggles against him. ]

No one will.

[ "Well. I guess Rafayel did that one time." ]

[transmit]

[ WHY WOULD HE TELL SOMEONE WHO ISN'T A 15-YEAR-OLD GIRL?





He feels strongly enough about this statement to break his vow on thoughtshares. He would (?) snuggle back but he is now frozen in place. ]

Rafayel?

[oversea]

He called me a good boy.

[ and it weirded thorns out at the time, even though right now that feels like the highest honor anyone could bestow upon him...? truly you do not appreciate what you have until it is gone. ]

[transmit]

[


They are, in fact, getting closer because Elysium has now rolled over to pin himself atop Thorns. He looks more upset than he ever has in his life. Hello? The betrayal can be felt deep in his bones. ]

And you just accepted it?

[oversea]

[ oh. hi. thorns peers up at him. ]

I guess I shouldn't if I'm not one...?

[ this is a practical answer, but likely not the one elysium wants. ]

[transmit]

Other people aren't allowed to tell you you're good.

[ This is like. 80% the kigurumi speaking. But also: ]

They aren't allowed to tell you you're bad, either.

[ That is 90% Elysium, ]

[oversea]

[ ...

he wraps his arm around elysium's neck. ]

Okay. Only you can.

[transmit]

[ He now feels… an intense competitive spirit towards Rafayel…

… ]

He's wrong, too. [ He lets the motion draw him in, nuzzling his face into the crook of Thorns' neck. Like a cat bunting, he rubs his feathers against his skin. This is… his sea urchin? His biscuit. ] You're not just good. You're the best.

[oversea]

[ ...

this is the happiest day of his life? you can't get praised more than being called the best...

he holds onto him more tightly. ]

That's what I wanted to hear.

[transmit]

[ …






Takes this as encouragement to bite him. ]

[oversea]

[ there is an insane second where thorns wonders if he needs to be the best at getting bit??

he squirms underneath him. ]

Do that again.

[transmit]

[ Thorns can be the best at whatever he wants as long as Elysium's name is somewhere as a possessive determiner. So, he can be the best at getting bit? But it has to be by Elysium… ]

Mm. No one else is allowed to do this, either.

[ leaves hickey. how far can we go before they end up on the kiss chart, help ]

[oversea]

Do it again.

[ well. they can find out.

because he's going to shift so that he can bite elysium's ear, licking at the lobe lightly. he wants... more praise? ]
