[ Places hand on his head… ]

I can get you your coffee.

[oversea]

[ YIPPEE

he nods his head. coffee then boxes. ]

[transmit]

[ hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Kisses his forehead then scuttles away. Coffee service coming up!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[oversea]

[ ...

cute.

he will just get ready in the meantime. ]

[transmit]

[ He takes about twenty minutes accounting for the time Thorns might want to snooze… When he returns, he kind of just pokes his head through the doorway to see if he's actually up, coffee in hand.

[oversea]

[ hi.....

he is still awake but he is slumped in bed. thorns immediately sits up at elysium though. ]

[transmit]

[ Silly……

But he steps on in, still holding onto this coffee without handing it over. ]

You don't have to get up if you aren't ready. Do you want another half hour? You look like you could use it.

[oversea]

No, we can go.

[ he will sleep for a while if he is allowed. oh the joys of not having actual duties so you can nap for as long as you want.

he holds his hands out for his drink. ]

[transmit]

[ where is this energy when he actually needs it (overworking himself in the labs)

Anyway, fine. Thorns can have his coffee and they can be on their way. Since they haven't actually spoken about public displays of affection, he'll just stick to their usual distance. Nothing special.

Maybe he's a pixel closer—but that doesn't mean much considering they've already had zero physical boundaries for years. ]

[oversea]

[ it's funny how those are things that he won't even think that need to be discussed because he has not been in a situation where that conversation was needed. the things you will learn...

but they can walk together.... until they get to the river. new boxes.

he sips his coffee. ]

What are the tasks?

[transmit]

[ the way this thread is post-[redacted]

But they get there. Elysium is left staring at the sign, then back at Thorns. ]

… Remember how we talked about testing the threshold for these boxes? I think this week might be a bust. Depending on when they arrived, they might already be open…

[ His voice is dry, but there's no denying that this is almost kind of amusing… ]

[oversea]

Huh.

[ ... ]

We can try it to be safe.

[ does he just want to bite him for fun? perhaps. ]

[transmit]

Without even checking if they are?

[oversea]

... we can.

[ this is said reluctantly. ]

[transmit]

[ your brackets ]

If you want to bite me, you don't need an excuse for it.

Is that what you're into?

[oversea]

[ MY BRACKETS

but he nudges him with his shoulder. ]

No comment.

[transmit]

[ kdrama tugs on his wrist. ]

On second thought? Maybe we do need to be safe. What if there's a mechanism this time for people who try to open their boxes without trying any of the tasks?

I wouldn't put it past them.

[oversea]

Mm, that's true. I wouldn't want you to get cursed again.

[ they will get cursed regardless. ]

Go ahead.

[transmit]

You don't want to go first?

[ He'd seemed so eager? Lifting his hand from his wrist, he places it softly on Thorns' cheek. He looks to be in thought. Hmmm. ]

[oversea]

Wouldn't it be rude if I just bit you?

[ as if this is a normal thing to ask your significant other

also as if thorns cares about being rude. ]

[transmit]

What were you originally going to do? Romance me?

[ sorry he just

snorts thinking about this, like the idea of it is very funny. But he will help Thorns out by slipping his thumb into his mouth, other fingers gently splaying along his skin. ]

Hm?

[oversea]

[ DON'T BE ANNOYING




bites him. ]

[transmit]

Ow!


Want to explain how you're feeling now?

[oversea]

That you're annoying.

[ fond (?) ]

[transmit]

And…?

You don't bite just anyone because you're annoyed with them.

[ 🥺 ]
