The One He Can't Live Without 💕💔💞💗

Things Aren't Always What They Seem In This Place

Thomas' mind goes back to one of the dates he and Elysium went on he had kissed her and she chuckled softly as soon as his lips met hers "sorry.... this is going to take some getting used to!"  she says as she leans back and slides her hand along his beard "do you want me to shave!?!"  he asks "not unless you want to.... you have spent most if not all your life following choices other people have made for you it's about time you made choices yourself!"  she replies "you are my choice!"  he says softly she smiles then replies "I suppose that's true but I shouldn't be you're ONLY choice and no I'm not speaking in a relationship point of view!"  he chuckles as she continues "I mean EVERY choice you make and follow should be your own not everyone else's!"  he smiles "besides I never said I didn't LIKE the beard just that it's going to take some getting used to!"  she says he chuckles then asks with a smile "itchy?!"  she replies with a smile "it tickles so much it itches"  he chuckles "I know the perfect way for me to get used to it!"  she coos he raises a eyebrow at her as she sways seductively towards him then her lips meet his "you're just going to have to continue to kiss me and never stop!"  she whispers once she lets his lips go "I can do that!"  he replies then his lips meet her smiling ones as she coos "I know you can!"  he chuckles as his lips meet hers and she feels her lips vibrate as he does so which makes her smile grow and he smiles as well "did you know you have hair!"  she teases cupping her hands in his hair and shaking her fingers within its tresses he laughs then replies with a smile "no!.... no I did not!"  she laughs then kisses him again.... a smile appears on his face at the memory and Tiff/Trin looks at him oddly "it's nothing!"  he says she nods though the odd expression on her face never leaves and then they go back to the conversation they were having and much to his surprise he never talks about the woman who is always on his mind and in his heart.... Elysium of course has been keeping her promise and teaching Thomas Kung Fu.... slowly since he was relearning everything WITHOUT the programs help she used the way her father taught her as a guide as a way to teach him this time she added two more "teachers".... a few hours after Elysium's shift ended she and Thomas were standing in her apartment talking when there was a knock at the door "would you mind answering that?!"  she asks with a smile "sure!"  Thomas replies with a nod as he looks at her with scrunched up eyebrows then he walks to the door and sees two smiling 20 something year olds looking at him and for some odd reason they looked very familiar to him not to mention they both had many features that match him and Elysium and his eyes widen in realization "let them through the threshold before you say anything"  Elysium says Thomas nods then takes a step back and the smiling man and woman walk in then hug him as tightly as they dared and whisper into his ear "hi dad!"  Thomas starts crying as he hugs them back "I thought they could help me train you today"  Elysium tells Thomas who turns and stares at her in surprise "if you ever leave this room with them I can tweak with the program just a little bit make it so no matter what you three actually speak of the rest of the world will hear something else.... at their age the "story" could be that they are college students who came to you with one too many questions that you shockingly decided to mentor but I haven't really thought that far ahead so I'm not sure"  she adds he chuckles with a smile "I figured that out when I realized the Analyst didn't even know who I am and since he's the "God" here...."  she explains he looks at her with a surprised expression on his face after a short pause she says "actually why don't you three take the rest of the day to get to know one another.... I'm really curious just how much I can actually get away with.... we'll meet up for supper somewhere"  Thomas nods then he and his children walk out of the apartment and the "game" begins as Thomas, Michael and Zion get reacquainted the rest of the world sees the famous game designer answering the many questions of the college students that were shadowing him LEARNING from him then that night Thomas, Zion, Michael and Elysium have dinner as a family in a empty restaurant that was open just for them so they didn't have to act anymore "it's almost time isn't it!?!"  Thomas asks Elysium softly "yes!"  Elysium replies with soft whispered tones "have you stopped taking them!?!"  she asks softly after a small pause "yes.... the day you told me too"  he replies "what's going to happen!?!"  he asks after a short pause "that is up to you!"  she replies "no.... I mean....!"  he says "that was the main reason for this test.... I think I'm going to have to disappear"  she replies his eyes widen with a hint of fear "no!.... I mean make it so that the "world" can't see me"  she tells him she reaches over, slides her hand over his and says softly as she locks her eyes with his "just you!"  he nods and his body sighs in relief "I have to be careful about when I show myself to you and our children have to go back, there is still so many people that have to be freed and they are one of the only few who are doing so"  she tells him "I understand!"  he replies softly "I promised that I would never leave you Thomas and I always keep my promises!"  she says he turns the hand that was still in hers and grips hers as he replies softly with whispered tones "I know!"  she leans forward and kisses his lips then says "even if you can't see me I will still be there with you I just don't want my presence to be found too early for I have no idea what the consequences of that will be if the Analyst has no idea who I am to you I'm sure that NO ONE knows who I am to you and I have no idea what the dangerous repercussions of that will be"  he nods with small understanding he was always strongest when she was with him but as soon as she was gone he went back to the weak man who believed that he was lost between fantasy and reality and Elysium worried about how his body will take finding the truth out from a bunch of strangers even if at least one of those strangers was of his own making a "brand new" Morpheus.... though he enjoyed the time he was able to spend with his children then his entire family Thomas couldn't help but feel sad especially after his children left and Elysium "made him an offer he WOULDN'T refuse" she told him to stay the night at her place with her and for the first time in a very long time Thomas slept with Elysium at his side AFTER he made love to her which was one of the many things he missed the most when it came to their love not to mention as they made love to her ALL his memories of their time together flowed through his mind and it was a big relief like a heavy weight had been lifted from his shoulders and yet he still had a heavy burden to bare for he had to "finish" remembering who he is to his fullest extent....
