To be a Father

by Michael_mother

Summary:

Basically 007n7 gets killed and goes back in time to when he first got c00lkid, I wrote most of this at 2 am, so there are many grammar and spelling mistakes, also English is not my first language so please be patient with me!

The story is finished but I promise I'll work on a azuretime side story soon!

Chapter 1

"Any regrets?" 

 

This made 007n7 look up from his execution spot, he regrettably smiled as he answered in a whisper.

"I regret not protecting my son enough." 

 

His executioner sighed before raising his weapon and *slash* there went his head..

A sad goodbye, an regret whispered in the air, it floated around some more before landing in an gods ear,

 

[Such an regret must be solved must it not? To leave such an thing unfulfilled its boredom at its finest.]

 

So the god did what God's do best, it meddled in fate. Pulled it's strings as if puppetering an puppet, and oh was it glorious, 007n7 had woken up once more, he had woken on the day he had first gotten his beloved son.

 

The boy lying there, like he had done before, left on 007n7's doormat like fate. 007n7 had not hesitated a second, taking the boy inside, cradling him, weeping for his last child and weeping for his new one.

 

"Dad's got you, dad isn't leaving.. not now"

 

The man had whispered, his voice sounding of years of pain and suffering, truly an fitting voice for what the man had gone through. 

 

007n7 walked around his house, his child still safely tucked in his arms. He was going to need to make sure nothing went wrong this time, no hunt for his or his son's head. 007n7 looked down with an sigh, his ankle monitor still being in the same place it had been his last life, that will be an issue... he shall deal with later.

 

007n7 rocked the boy in his arms as he looked down at the small red child, he truly was back to where he had started, now if only he could've gone further back.. then he could've prevented a whole lot more.

 

But that doesn't matter, not now, no. He had what he wanted, his boy, his son in his arms. 

 

This life they would have to pry the boy from his corpse if they wanted him.

Determination flashed through 007n7's eyes as he started planning, his son c00lkid in his arms he started planning stuff out on his c00lgui, instead of holding back he decided to fully utilize it, no need to throw these skills away when he could use them right now.

 

After a while of standing in one place his ankle monitor suddenly beeped,

|007n7 what are you doing.|

an voice sounded, builder man... of course, he had forgotten.. he was under surveillance, how ironic to forget.

 

"Don't worry I'm just zoning out, in my kitchen, you can check my location, I'm right where you've placed me."

 

If he had forgot to mention the child in his arms that would fully be on himself, so yes he had not mentioned c00lkid, why would he? It was none of builder mans business. 

 

007n7 finally decided on what to do, his punishment was being thought off by the admin-counsel so what if he acknowledged his own wrong doings and proposed to let himself be exiled with surveillance, it could work.. he'd have to ask builder man, that guy was the most reachable to him..

 

But not today, no, today was the day he would focus solely on c00lkid,

To make up to the times he could not be there, every choice 007n7 must make must be with c00lkids well fare in mind. Everything. He also needed to make a list of things he would need for childcare, 007n7 decided as he placed an piece of paper down on the dinner table, also grabbing himself a pen.

 

He then realized he still was holding onto c00lkid, he chuckled as he looked down at the boy who had nestled in the crook of his arm, he seemed to be peacefully asleep.. 007n7 really needed something like an baby-sling, he had none in his house so an makeshift one would have to do for now. 

 

007n7 tied an shawl he had lying around around his chest in an makeshift baby sling, putting c00lkid inside as he sat down at the dinner table and begun writing down all the things he would need.

 

The list kept on growing as 007n7 just wrote down what came to his mind, eventually he nodded at the list he had prepared and started checking how much it would cost. He had so many things to worry about, money, baby food, and most importantly an safe space for c00lkid to grow up, what had happened last time cannot happen again. He needed to make sure it would never come to it again.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

The day had gone by in an semi smooth way, 007n7 had been woken up by c00lkid at around midnight because the boy was hungry,

 

 making 007n7 stand in the kitchen at roughly 2 am making baby food.

 

 The man was yawning while heating the baby food before feeding it to the little red boy,

The kid Started to happily eat the food like he was starving, and for all 007n7 knew the boy probably was starving.

 

This whole ordeal leaded to builder man checking in on 007n7 again, the guy usually was asleep at that time after all. 007n7 decided to grab his chance while he still could and asked for builder man to meet him tomorrow, he had something to ask of him.

 

"Just a small favor, you'll be willing to listen right?" 

 

|depends on the favor, but since I have nothing to do tomorrow anyways I'll meet you.|

 

"Thank you, I'll be seeing you on my porch at 10 then?"

 

Instead of answering builder man just gave two beeps back on 007n7's ankle monitor, signaling that he had agreed to the arrangement. 007n7 sighed out loud, sleep clear in his eyes as he looked at the fallen asleep c00lkid in his arms, he promised to take care of this boy, and he will go through hell and back to make true to his promise.

 

His past sins be dammed, the people from his past may curse him to his very core over and over again, he will never again leave his kid behind, he won't run from the responsibility he himself chose to take upon himself, should he drown.. he will just learn to swim all over again. 

 

This boy deserved everything, and 007n7 will do what he can to give him everything.

 

Eventually 007n7 fell asleep on the couch, still holding c00lkid in his baby-sling.

 

The next morning three loud knocks where heard on 007n7's front door making 007n7 jump awake, he nervously looked down at c00lkid and hoped to whatever was out there that the boy wouldn't wake up.

 

"Coming, just... give me a second!" 007n7 grumbled out as he got off the couch, rolling his neck which had grown quite stiff, no more couch sleeping.

 

007n7 moved to the door and opened it, seeing builder man standing in front of it and moving to the side to let the man inside,

 

"Come in, make yourself at home." 

 

Builder man nodded as he moved into the house, sitting down on an chair facing the couch. 007n7 quickly closed the door before moving towards the couch and sitting down on it, he nervously looked at builder man as if to measure his mood.

 

"You needed an favor?" Builder man spoke out, interrupting the uncomfortable silence, 

007n7 nodded before quickly getting to the point.

 

"I do need a favor, I would like to discuss my punishment." 

 

That made builder man raise an eyebrow, 007n7 usually would avoid any talk of his own punishment, so for him to bring it up himself... something must be going on.

 

"I would like to request that if I acknowledge all of my wrong doings that you and the other admins that decide my punishment exile me." 007n7 casually said, the words themselves if said by another wrongdoer would sound normal, but 007n7.. this was.. out of character for him... at least out of character for the 007n7 builder man knows.

 

Builder man was stunned for a few minutes before carefully replying,

 

"Has something happened to you that I must know about?"

 

007n7 scoffed before muttering something under the lines off 'what's it to you anyways..' before shaking his head,

"Nothing happened for you to worry about, I'm just.. tired.. I suppose.." 

 

Builder man looked at 007n7, searching his eyes for a lie before coming to the conclusion that there was no lie, 

"I'll see what I can do, I make no promises but I can say that your retiring if that helps?"

 

007n7 nodded, retirement sounded..nice.. really nice.

It would give him the space and time to raise c00lkid without further troubles.. yes. It's the best option available.

"I do suppose I'm retiring, I hope I didn't wreck any super epic plans of anyone with my retirement."

 

Builder man chuckled a bit before getting back up, he nodded to 007n7 as he moved back to the front door, 007n7 moving close behind to see him out. 

 

"Thank you for listening to my request builder man." 

 

"It's not a problem at all, I do hope you'll raise that child well." Builder man suddenly commented, shocking 007n7 a bit, he quickly recovered as he gave a quick nod. As 007n7 watched builder man leave he switched his attention towards c00lkid who had woken up.

 

It was time to feed the boy again.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Builder man was walking back to the headquarters, his earlier conversation with 007n7 fresh in his mind.. something had changed, and he wasn't quite sure whether it was an good thing or not.., it made him nervous.

 

Builder man shook it off before entering the building, he nodded at the secretary on the first floor before going into the break room, he needed to talk about this with someone.. and he knew just who.

 

Shedletsky or rather telamon was eating something (probably fried chicken) when he looked up at the person entering the break room.

 

"Back already? Didn't you have an super important meeting with someone?" Telamon casually commented

 

"Yes I did, I just finished the meeting and I need an second opinion on it, your up for it?" Builder man responded

He sounded a little annoyed at telamons antics.

 

Telamon shrugs before motioning for builder man to continue his story, in the meantime he continued munching on his food. 

 

"I met with an what seems now to be an ex-exploider,-" builder man started but got interrupted by telamon.

 

"You went ahead and meet with someone fun without me?!" Telamon said offended that he wasn't invited, making builder man sigh before continuing his story.

 

"Like I said, I met with him and we talked a while, it seems the guy wants to retire and requested of me that I along with the others that are in charge of his case exile him, so that he can continue living his life peacefully." Builder man rubbed his eyes as he felt an headache start to form.

 

telamon listened patiently (or as patient as he could) before casually commenting

"Sounds like quite the plan."

 

To that builder man could only nod, he looked quite lost in his thoughts.

 

"Something tells me that your not telling me something, are you not telling me something on purpose?" Telamon suddenly said, he sounded questioning.

 

Builder man only sighed as he looked away from the other admin, as much as he usually would tell everything something told him not to this time, he felt as if telamon would unnecessarily involve himself in the current situation and that was not what 007n7 needed.

 

"The ex-exploiter recently got an child." Builder man decided to say instead. It was the truth but it could hide away the other thing builder man had been leaving out, the name of said ex-exploiter. 

 

Telamon seemed to take it, he looked pleased. "Glad you came out with it after all." 

 

 Builder man just guiltily nodded before grabbing himself some coffee, he would need the caffeine..

 

"But alright, I'm in favor of exileling this hacker guy" telamon mused, he had finished his food so now he was just playing around the break room, spinning in a chair.

 

Builder man just sighed as he walked out of the break room, he was truly done with telamons antics.. 

 

After a long day builder man had convinced the rest of the council to exile 007n7 with surveillance, they still needed to find an admin willing to supervise 007n7 but the other preparations where made, if builder man thought about it, it was quite the deal, an free house, free supplies forever and an body guard of sorts,

 

"Now where to find someone wiling.." builder man muttered 

"Wiling to do what?" Telamon suddenly said, the man suddenly appearing as if from air. The suddenness making builder man slightly jump.

"Do not scare me like that." Builder man grumbled out annoyed, before sighing and focusing his attention towards telamon.

"I need someone willing to supervise.. the guy being exiled." Builder man ran his hand through his hair as he sighed out of desperation, he had asked around but Noone seemed willing to do it. He had known it would be difficult but 007n7's reputation really did not make things easier..

"Baby sitting? You need an admin for an baby sitting job?" Telamon spoke out, sounding a tad bit amused.. making builder man rub his eyes again, the guy was terribly talented at pushing buttons...

As builder man pondered in his head he suddenly had an idea.. 007n7 might get annoyed at him for it... but sometimes sacrifices are worth committing. He started to smirk slightly as he looked at telamon.. oh this would be glorious.

"Well since your here anyways, you have a new job." Builder man said, making telamon look slightly panicked before he muttered an quiet 'your kidding..'

Builder man shook his head as he smiled, "your officially on babysitting duty.", those words made telamons face fall faster then a bird flying into a window.

"No, come on... you can't do this! Builder man! Please!" Telamon whined as builder man walked away from him,
"Who am I even baby sitting?!"

Builder man turned around and said something under the lines of "you'll see." Making telamon almost throw an tantrum on the floor..

"You'll sEe" telamon mocked when builder man was sufficiently away, telamon was full on pouting and throwing a small tantrum where he was standing, his wings fluffed in annoyance.. he almost looked like an agitated chicken..
Telamon went back to his quarters.. it would seem he would have some boring days ahead of him...

Chapter 2

Summary:

My gods do I love writing telamon and 007n7 interactions:>

007n7 was packing things up, he had heard from builder man that everything had been arranged and that his surveillance would arrive soon. He was a little nervous because builder man had forgotten to even mention who was supervising him.. he just kind of ran off while saying sorry... weird.

007n7 shook it off as he continued his packing, sometimes looking at where c00lkid was playing on the ground.. he was lucky to find an blanket that could work for an temporary baby Mat, the other supplies for his son would be at their new house.. 007n7 reminisced a bit before finishing everything up.

There was still no sign of the admin who would come to pick him and his son up so he decided to play with c00lkid for a bit, making sure the boy was comfortable.

Telamon was late. God he was so late.... he had overslept... builder man was going to absolutely murder him... oh God, he'd pick his feathers and boil him alive! Until he himself became fried chicken!! Telamon was panicking as he bolted out his front door.
"Address, address, where is that address....here it is!" Telamon hurriedly searched his pockets before taking off towards the writen address.

007n7 perked up as he heard someone land in front of his door, he slowly got up and grabbed his things.
After making sure he had everything he picked c00lkid up and put him inside the baby sling, he had the foresight to keep it on at all times, you never know when you needed to go somewhere and he refused to leave c00lkid behind.

Some hurried knocks sounded from his front door as he went to open it, "you in there?! Helloo!!" A voice spoke.. or rather.. yelled out. Startling both c00lkid and 007n7, c00lkid started to hiccup and cry a little.. making this entire situation even more of an mess as 007n7 was half panicking at the recognizable voice..

Curse builder man. Absolutely curse the man. 007n7 thought, as he finally opened the door smiling in an extremely annoyed way towards the man in front of him. Of course... why would it be someone else.

"Telamon." 007n7 acknowledged as he gave him a stiff nod.
Telamon himself just stood there with his mouth agape. Taking his time to process the current situation.

"Ehm, 007n7... good. Ehm.. great to see you?" Telamon awkwardly spoke out.. sounding just as uncomfortable as 007n7 himself,

That gave 007n7 a little bit of relief, to know that he wasn't the only person there uncomfortable with the current situation.. he sighed before sort of accepting his fate, anything to keep c00lkid safe. Anything.
Telamon finally broke through his shock as he grabbed the rest of 007n7's stuff, before together with the other leaving the old house behind.

This telamon was just like how 007n7 remembered him from his last life.. it's somewhat relaxing to see that his own actions don't change others, it had been an slight worry in the back of his mind.. even if he wanted to change both c00lkids and his own fate he had no intention to meddle in someone else's.

The walk was awkward as both adults did not make the move to begin an conversation, both equally annoyed at the situation and each other. As much as 007n7 tried not to take his problems from his last life into this one.. telamon would be the exception.. the man was infuriating.. to the point of actual madness,

If being corrupted his last life wouldn't have been his snapping point 007n7 would be sure telamon would've been instead.

Telamon himself wasn't doing any better.. the man next to him annoyed him as well... not only did this man not take him seriously when telamon had tried to arrest him.. he also didn't use the full extent of his powers fighting him! Like the guy had held back..! On purpose!!

He had seen what 007n7 could do! He saw his fight with builder man for telamons sake! (Wait that's himself.)
The guy had not even tried... he just gave up. It wasn't fair. Not at all...

Telamon continued to grumble to himself.. muttering what sounded like 'not fair.. not fair at all..' before 007n7 stopped in his tracks suddenly, making telamon stop as his wings fluttered in question.. he looked at 007n7 to see what the hold up was. And what he saw made him question the man.

The guy was poking the little red thing's cheeks.... the man stopped to poke an red thing... this is why 007n7 confuses him. The guy made no sense. No sense at all! There was not a single ounce of logic behind his actions.. ever! (Do keep in mind telamon uses logic that defies logic.)

Telamon grumbled.. "stop stalling, let's go." Making 007n7 look at him with an infuriating expression.

The rest of the journey was slow and agonizing, both men refusing to acknowledge the other, 007n7 sometimes slowing down to take care of c00lkids needs, telamon without fail became annoyed whenever 007n7 would open his mouth to soothe c00lkid. It was truly an amazing feat for both men to push each other's buttons as much as they did.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

They where at the edge of actually straight up fighting each other as they finally arrived,
The house stood alone surrounded by the forest. It seemed quite the peaceful get away, an small path leading up to the two story house.

007n7 looked at telamon before looking back at the house, builder man had told him that his "surveillance" would have the key so he just waited for telamon to open the house already,
Telamon himself kinda stood awkwardly not seeming to notice that 007n7 was waiting for him.

"Why are we standing still?" Telamon spoke out, annoyance clear in his voice.

"You have the key not me." 007n7 responded back, sass radiating from his reply.

Telamon's wings fluffed up from embarrassment before he moved towards the door and unlocked it for them.
007n7 just walked past telamon and entered the house, completely ignoring the man. Instead he immediately began looking around the house, making sure the necessary things where there for c00lkid, the boy had fallen back asleep again and was snoring a little in the baby sling wrapped around 007n7.

007n7 moved into random rooms and begun exploring the house, he had found two bedrooms, an children's playroom and two bathrooms, the children's playroom, a bathroom and one of the bedrooms where upstairs, and the other two where situated downstairs, 007n7 decided to take up the bedroom upstairs. As it would be the closest to c00lkids room and he would be able to reach him more easily should he need to.

He put his stuff down in the room he had chosen before going back downstairs to discuss the arrangement with telamon, as much as he'd love to just decide things on his own he would have to communicate with the infuriating man. The guy annoyed him so much, he acted like he was some sort of diety.. and he never took something seriously.. the amount of times 007n7 had gotten annoyed at telamon was uncountable by now.

His hatred and annoyance towards telamon soon had led to him holding back in their fights out of spite.. he found it amusing just how much that effected telamon.

007n7 had arrived downstairs and plopped down on one of the chairs at the dinner table, he looked at telamon as the other man did the same.. only.. a tad bit more.. awkwardly due to his wings..
Soon they, through much pain and hardships, started talking and planning their arrangements.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"But! But I want the bedroom upstairs!!" Telamon started whining. 007n7 knew the guy was stubborn but God. This was something else.

"I told you, I need that room so I can keep an eye on my son. I'm not going to give the room to you." 007n7 grumbled annoyed.

This went on for about half an hour of going back and forth before telamon finally relented. 007n7 was slightly amused at how similar telamon acted to c00lkid when the boy had been four, it was almost uncanny.

But amusement aside 007n7 was insanely tired off telamons shenanigans, he had already exceeded his social battery that day and telamon was very much not helping, so after a while of debating in his mind he settled on wishing telamon an good night (and nice nightmares under his breath) before heading to bed.

As telamon was alone in the kitchen he got a message from builder man,

!|how's the babysitting going?|¡

Telamon grumbled a bit before answering by calling builder man,

"So, like I had aske-" builder man tried to say over the phone before telamon interrupted him.

"You did this on purpose did you not? Put me here with this guy!" Telamon angrily whispered.

"I have no idea of what you mean." Builder mans flat tone said enough, he most definitely did do it on purpose.

"How long do I have to do this?" Telamon relentlessly muttered, sighing a bit.. he seemed to have quickly adapted.

"A year at most, just until I find someone more.. permanent." Builder man replied.

"...a year?... your joking.. I have to be stuck in a house with that guy for a year?!" Telamon whined.

Instead of answering builder man just hung up, no need to reply.. telamon could not hear anyone but himself when he was whining.

Telamons wings where flapping in an whining manner as the ("adult") man decided to roll on the ground in a tantrum manner.

Sometime after the little tantrum telamon decided going to bed might be an.. amazing..idea.. like golly gee, he was so smart! Going to bed would like most definitely fix most of his problems!

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The next day telamon awoke to crying and a slight panicked murmur. Such an...lovely...thing to.. wake up to.

As telamon got out of his bed and threw on his usual robes, he peeked out of his bedroom to see 007n7 panicky walk in circles with the red... thing (child?) In his arms

He seemed to be doing something like shaking his arms.. truly weird to spectate, honestly telamon found it funny to watch.

007n7 was walking in circles until he suddenly stopped, as he saw telamon awake and got slightly distracted.

"Either help me out here or leave." 007n7 grumbled while he practically radiated annoyance. Telamon just chuckled at his expression before leaving his room and going outside.

"Should've predicted that." 007n7 muttered out Before returning to rock and soothe c00lkid. Eventually the boy had calmed down a bit, so 007n7 took him towards the children's play room.

C00lkid was playing on an baby blanket on the floor, making quite the bunch of happy sounds. 007n7 watched while he coo'ed to the kid, he played with his son for a while. Just staying in their own little world,

C00lkid had eventually started to coo back at 007n7, making the dad cry a bit. Everything had been worth it. Just to see his boy again, just to see his little smile as he looked up to his father.

007n7 would do it all over again for him.

He'd die and come back just to witness this moment again.

He would destroy the world and then himself should something happen to him.

Meanwhile telamon had started walking around the house, trying to see what surrounded the house itself. It was mostly forest but there was a small path to the side of the house, he'd have to explore that later!

"The crying stopped." Telamon mused to himself, as he entered the house again he saw no sign of 007n7 or c00lkid on the first floor. Making him slightly panick, he had been given the easiest job.. surely he had not failed said job....right?

That would be awkward to explain to builder man...
Before telamon could even open his mouth to start yelling for 007n7, the man already came from one of the rooms.

He seemed to be making a hushing motion.. that's odd, wonder why he did that.
"Don't sush me." Telamon muttered

"I may sush you all I like, as long as it keeps the kid asleep." 007n7 whispered back.

Telamon looked theatrically offended at that, mouth agape and all.
007n7 only rolled his eyes at him for such antics before going into the kitchen, grabbing himself an coffee.
This would be some long days... very.. very, long days... agonizing days even.

And 007n7 would bet on anything that the reason he would have an bad sleep schedule wouldn't be c00lkid but the man infront of him..

This would take him more then instant coffee to handle. He started to miss the good coffee.
He needed something with an kick. To prevent him from kicking telamon himself..

Chapter 3

Summary:

Sorry for this being a bit of an shorter chapter, I have many ideas on how to continue from here so I'll need to sort out my thoughts before continuing ^^

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Weeks had gone by without much of an hitch, some incidents here and there... (telamon almost blowing up the kitchen twice.) But otherwise aside the arguments, everything had been going fine.

007n7 was seated on the couch, his attention fully on c00lkid as he fed him, the little boy practically smiling up at his father, making the scene extremely peaceful.
Telamon was no where to be seen as the man had gone outside to "take a walk" as he had said himself,

007n7 paid him no mind as he was entirely focused on c00lkid and his needs.
He had no time for telamon, not even to slightly entertain him.

Making telamon very grumpy.. and bored... so bored., so he had decided to explore that path to the side of the house he had seen some weeks ago.

As telamon was walking he had noticed that the forest was eerily quiet... very quiet.. too quiet.
It was so boring.. not even the forest could satisfy his need for entertainment.

Telamon was debating on just throwing that red thing away so he could finally fight 007n7 or something, but he had seen how 007n7 looked whenever he had come even an inch close to the thing.. it was.. weird.

Is that what mortals called "protectiveness?"? Telamon could for the life of him not understand why 007n7 even chose to take in that thing..
was it to satisfy his own boredom?
Telamon himself could do exactly what that thing was doing! He could also cry when hungry and sleep all day!

Telamon huffed to himself while thinking, he had not realized he had walked a long distance in the forest until he heard 007n7 yell out that it was dinner time.

Telamon mused as he thought that 007n7 acted like an "wife" from one of the books he reads. It was kinda funny..
But also a weird thought,

telamon sure wouldn't want 007n7 as a wife.
I mean the man and him bickered all the time! Just because 007n7 was good at almost...everything...didn't mean...oh.

Nope! No! Nuh uh! Not going to think about anything along those lines anymore! (Biggest lie ever)

Telamon hurriedly went back inside the house, not meeting 007n7's eyes the rest of the night.
007n7 just brushed it off as telamons usual antics and ate his dinner before taking c00lkid and going upstairs.

Telamon was left alone again with his thoughts, exactly what he did not need!
He just decided to rest his head on the table with an *bonk* his wings fluttered annoyed behind him as he let out the biggest sigh he did that day.

Meanwhile 007n7 was tucking c00lkid in for the night, making sure the boy had everything he needed before carefully exiting the room, after he had closed the door he sighed himself.

He loved his kid, but the age he currently was at was an hard time to deal with.. but he would be lying if he said he didn't miss it, he felt blessed to see every phase c00lkid was going through again. Even if it brought him sleepless nights.

He knew he was blessed, and by God's would he have the whole world know it.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

007n7 had gone that whole week by on an extreme low amount of sleep, the man in short looked like a mess.
Eventually he decided that taking a shower or something along those lines would do him good so he went downstairs to tell telamon not to bother him.

As he went downstairs he noticed telamon just... resting his head on the table.. it looked.. a little.. just a little funny, it looked like an overgrown chicken sleeping on an surface definitely too small for it.

So 007n7 tried his best but sadly could not hold back an snort. Making telamon turn his head with lightning speed, only what was meant as an menacing look failed miserably... he looked like an disheveled chicken now..

Making 007n7 not being able to take it anymore and just burst out in laughter.

And oh, telamon was seething!

Eventually they both got outside telamons wings where fluffed up and he was full on bristling at 007n7, who in response kept on taunting him.

"Aww did I ruffle your feathers big guy?" 007n7 spoke out in an mocking grin, he was clearly enjoying their current interaction.

Telamon instead of responding full on threw himself at 007n7, who in return dodged the attack mostly. Telamon didn't care and kept on trying to attack him, not that any of the attacks hit.

"Say birdie, haven't you learned from the last times we did this?" 007n7 mocked, his usual strategy when fighting telamon had always been mocking, teasing and dodging, never attacking himself.

Why? Out of spite. He out of spite at the man before him held back, never showing nor using his full power. Not because he wanted to be careful but because he despised the man.

That man had no right seeing him at his full power. None at all.. "hey birdie, are those wings there for show or do you just not know how to use them." 007n7 once again mocked telamon while dodging the incoming attacks.

If people where to watch their fight it would not seem like an fight at all, more akin to a dance between friends. Their movements adjusted to each other's as if they had known each other for an very long time, and they did. They had fought countless times before.

Their fight was taking a while so 007n7 relented and let Telamon's attack hit him, telamon full on tackled 007n7 with his entire weight sending the both of them rolling on the ground.. until 007n7's back hit the ground and telamon loomed over him.

"I do say birdie. You've gotten better." 007n7 spoke out, slightly groaning at the pain in his back.

"You gave up on purpose, that's no win." Telamon spat out in return, he was visibly annoyed at 007n7's figuratively white flag.

007n7 smiled innocently before responding in a sickening sweet voice "I've got not a single clue on what you mean by that accusation."

Making telamon sigh and roll on the ground next to 007n7, heaving a bit at the exercise they've just gone through.

"Your infuriating" telamon responded

"Right back at you." 007n7 shot back, both of them just lying there on the ground catching their breath.
The moon shined over them both making 007n7 yawn a bit before remembering what he wanted to say to telamon before.

"I'm going to take a shower, don't bother me please." 007n7 grumbled out as he got up from the ground, telamon just hummed in acknowledgement as he pondered something.

As 007n7 entered the house again telamon was thinking a load of things. One, he missed his fights with 007n7 more then he first had realized, and two, 007n7 looked more attractive fighting then he had remembered. The only thing was, is that telamon failed to recognize what he was exactly feeling..

He could not place his finger on the name of the feeling nor could he understand what the feeling meant. He just laid there while thinking a million things at the same time. (Simp.) The lights on the house went off as 007n7 turned in for the night, but here telamon still was. Lying on the ground infront of the house.

"Fuck." Telamon muttered as realization finally dawned upon him.. had he known this before he'd never have gone here... oh who was he kidding.

Telamon hid his face in his hands as he finally actually opened his mind to his own feelings., he had no words for them.. he usually didn't deal with these.. that was usually on Shedletsky.. did something go wrong?

How was He dealing with these feelings now.. it... it didn't make sense... it made no sense at all!!
He was telamon! Telamon had no need for feelings! He wasn't allowed to feel when working! His feelings where to be handled by Shedletsky! (But he was Shedletsky) why.. what was happening?!

No. No. No he rejected this. He's rejecting that these feelings ever existed. (It's not as if 007n7 ever would feel the same way)

Telamon (Shedletsky) sighed before finally getting up from the ground and turning in for the night, he ignored the line that was blurring behind him, the line between work and feelings that was blurring the longer he stayed in this house.

Ignorance would've been his blessing, had he not wanted to understand those feelings he would not have to go through this currently.. he had truly cursed himself.

Chapter 4

Summary:

I hope this satisfies people's questions on why or how 1x got there! :3

_________________________________________________________________

Something was happening..

after their fight telamon had shut himself in his room and hadn't come out these past 2 days, 007n7 had seen no sign of the other man.. making him slightly concerned, no matter how annoying the other was he still didn't deserve something akin to death..

He was about to knock on the door when telamon(?) Came bolting out of his bedroom, he wasn't wearing his usual get up confusing 007n7 a bit. But hey.. atleast the man was outside of his room.

007n7 shrugged and went back to what he was doing before,
Meaning watching as c00lkid slowly tried to roll himself over on his own! 007n7 was cheering the boy on as he watched on.

"Come on honey! You can do it! Dad believes in you!!" 007n7 cheered as c00lkid slowly rolled on his stomach,
As he did that 007n7 clapped and took an picture.

"You've done it! I knew you could do it!!" 007n7 happily said, making c00lkid giggle at his father's enthusiasm.

007n7 could not believe he had the honor of witnessing his sons first achievements all over again, honestly the man was over the moon! Gosh had he missed this, he had missed his boy.. so he'd make sure this time that he would not need to miss his son again.

With an determinant nod 007n7 went back to playing with c00lkid.

At the same time telamon or rather Shedletsky was running in circles outside on the grass... he could not believe it.. he was free....he was free!

It had been such a long time being stuck in his own mind.. he ofcourse sometimes slipped through but even then, he had the freedom to speak, feel and think for himself again! He had broken free from the separation between feelings an work!!

Shedletsky's wings fluttered behind him with excitement, God had he missed the wind.. he knew where he was and what he was supposed to be doing here but honestly.. it could wait,

From what he had observed 007n7 wouldn't just run away so he could freely take his time to enjoy being himself again.. had he mentioned already that he had missed feeling actual emotions? Because God he did.

Shedletsky did wonder what made telamon give in so... quickly.. it was weird.

Normally the guy would do anything to stay in control, the guy must be planning something.
The thought alone made Shedletsky shiver, thrills ran down his spine,
better not think about that now.

He was thinking a bit when he remembered, technically 007n7 didn't even know about him.. he knew only about telamon.. yeah.. that would be a problem...
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Shedletsky decided to walk the same path as telamon had done 2 days before,

as he walked down further and further, he thought about the feelings he had gotten through telamon, it only rarely happens that telamon would feel anything aside from his usual ones.

It had confused the bejeezus out of Shedletsky, I mean just imagine sitting.. in an dark corner.. when you suddenly get an harsh feeling of love wash over you.. it was weird as hell.

As Shedletsky walked into an opening he saw something peculiar.. it looked like an..egg... an weird big egg..
In the middle of this forest was an egg the size of an human toddler.....

To say Shedletsky was perplexed would be an massive understatement. No the man was absolutely shocked to his very core..

"An... egg?" Shedletsky muttered to himself moving a little closer to it.. before reaching out a little....
Yes, no it was most definitely an egg..

As Shedletsky patted the egg a bit he felt it move. It had moved. Under his hand. He retracted his hand faster then light.. as he uncomfortably stared at the egg it slowly came out..

Oh! Shit!! Oh no! What was he supposed to do?! Shedletsky looked around before (no clue why) hiding in the bushes.

While this was happening 007n7 had decided to finally check upon telamon, as he walked up to the forest he saw a trail of what seemed like Telamon's feathers on the ground.. yeah he most definitely went that way..

007n7 followed the trail of feathers until he came upon an scene like no other, telamon(?) was hiding in an bush, his usual robe nowhere to be seen, he seemed to be wearing an normal shirt and some boxers... okay...

As 007n7 turned his attention to what Shedletsky was staring at the egg came out, it startled both men as an soft grunt came from within the egg, an small head peaked out from the broken egg shell... an child?

While telamon(?)Just stared at the child, seemingly perplexed on how it even got in the egg, 007n7 had a different reaction..

That child.. he recognized him from somewhere.. like the ghost of an past memory that haunted 007n7...
The boy looked at 007n7 with an single red colored eye... his white hair a mess on top of his little head as he slowly turned to 007n7.

That snapped him out of his daze as he now looked at the child more clearly.. ofcourse he knew this child.. it was the same child telamon had doomed... but the thing is.. the child already seemed.. corrupted..

He could've sworn the child had looked different his last life.. but that didn't matter. No. Right now he needed to take this child back home, oh and demand an explanation from telamon.

As 007n7 moved towards the child and picked the boy up he looked at telamon(?) Who in turn kind of perplexed looked back at him.

"are you coming with or are you staying in those bushes?" 007n7 remarked as he adjusted his hold on the child.

Telamon(?) Seemed a bit taken aback at the reaction he had received before getting out of the bushes, he joined 007n7 and walked a little behind him as they returned to the house.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

007n7 cradled the boy in his arms along the walk, he made sure that the boy wasn't in any discomfort before speaking out towards telamon(?)

"So.. what was that all about?" Telamon(?) Looked up at him before muttering something along the lines of 'I'm not who you think I am' 007n7 decided to just brush it off as they arrived at the house.

Frustrated that he didnt get an proper answer, 007n7 focused his energy and thoughts towards the boy in his arms, the child had slowly been looking around not saying a word, it worried 007n7 a bit.

"You okay buddy?" 007n7 spoke out to the child, making him turn his head towards 007n7 before nodding a bit

The boy then pointed to his stomach, it seems he was hungry. "I'll make you something to eat alright?" 007n7 smiled at the boy before putting him down. As 007n7 made something to eat for all of them, Shedletsky was staring at the child.

He didn't know why but the boy was giving him an foreboding feeling, like the child wasn't even supposed to be here... it quite frankly maybe.. freaked him out a bit (but don't say that).

The boy himself was staring right back at Shedletsky, he smiled innocently before going to sit down at the dinner table. The kid was up to something.. Shedletsky was sure of it...

As they all went to sit down at the table, 007n7 excused himself to go get c00lkid. Once again leaving Shedletsky alone with the boy. It was a little awkward as the kid had yet to say anything, it really send shivers down Shedletsky's spine.

"Do you... have an.. name?" Shedletsky finally said, though quite awkwardly... oh boy this was going to take a while.

The boy infront of him said nothing, he just blinked a couple of times before smirking. The boy smirked.. oh God.
That child thing was evil!! Evil!! Shedletsky was like 99% sure of it!! He was about to say something else before 007n7 came back with c00lkid in his arms.

"Hope you behaved." 007n7 remarked to Shedletsky, making him dramatically sigh, His wings once again fluffed up from annoyance.

"Always asking if I behaved... why doesn't that thing get the same question?!" Shedletsky muttered as he nodded in the boys direction.

"Did you just... call him.. an thing?" 007n7 looked horrified at Shedletsky, he also seemed To be getting quite...angry.. uh oh..

"answer me telamon. Did you just refer to him as an thing?"

Shedletsky looked slightly awkward before muttering out an 'maybe' not exactly helping his current situation..

The kid however was watching the interaction with an small smile, he seemed to enjoy watching Shedletsky be backed into a corner. Truly the best entertainment out there.

At a certain point 007n7 started yelling at Shedletsky for even daring to call any child a thing. After it all died down a bit 007n7 looked towards the boy and apologized in behalf of Shedletsky,

The boy smiled in return as he hugged 007n7, probably to tell him that it was alright but gosh... 007n7 felt a slight guilt. He smiled at the boy before returning the hug.

"Do you want to play with my own son for a bit? I'm going to need to talk... with. Telamon." 007n7 spoke out, practically spitting the last part out. The kid nodded before walking together with 007n7 to the play room in the house, all things considered this kid was 007n7's now, and Noone could convince him otherwise.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

1x had felt hatred, he had felt betrayal. He had felt alot of things... but this had been his first experience with death.
It had not felt cold, deaths grasp that is.. no.. instead, it had felt welcoming.

1x had been defeated, killed at the hands of his dearest 'father', and as he laid there.. on the ground.. a couple thoughts went around in his mind, one of them was an random but welcomed one. The last one was..

"Would things have gone differently had he the opportunity to try again?" Such an question he believed anyone would wonder about at some point.. right?

But he felt hate, even at the brink of death.. this creator of his had truly cursed him..

Rain fell from the sky as 1x notice another execution taking place... that man.. he looked.. familiar.
Oh
Right.,
007n7.. the father to c00lkid wasn't it?.

So in the end they had gotten him as well..
He wondered.. if he had been someone different.. would he have had an father like him as well?.. 007n7.. he had seen his eyes as he talked proudly about his son..

1x felt envy... envy to the father he never got, envy at c00lkid.. and hatred to his own being.
If he could make a single wish.. it would be, to have an loving family.. it didn't matter who they where.. even if they where the most godforsaken awful people... as long... as he..would...be....happy......

1x's body laid there as it rained, the light that had shone so brightly with hatred, no more as it dimmed out...
If gods could pity 007n7 and bring him back..

Why couldn't telamon?...
The being had watched the light dissappear from 1x's eyes before stepping forward, it had truly no business intervening but... this was its choice, it wanted for a better fate for this sad creature.

Gods don't feel pity. No, they seek for entertainment.. but this being was no God, so it's empathy rang strong as it send 1x back, just... not in the way 007n7 had been send back..

1x's body had died.. so he was in need of a new one, hence why he was send back in an egg.

Now this.

This was entertaining.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Chapter 5

Summary:

The list of pizza (my Lil headcanons)
Shedletsky: anything that includes chicken
1x: Hawaii (pineapple on pizza)
007n7: mozzarella with pesto and tomatoes (classy guy)
(C00lkid doesn't eat pizza yet but if he did it would be an pepperoni)

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It was dark.. and cold? No.. no it was lukewarm. God.... 1x really hates lukewarm things..

Aside from that.. could he see?

He was very sure that he'd died back there... so.. what was happening?...

He heard rustling of leaves, and the breaking of sticks.. wherever he was he must be in nature...

it was still dark. Too dark to see anything. He felt around but couldn't feel anything but something hard surrounding him...

This truly was annoying.

Suddenly he felt something touch him(?) He wasn't sure what it was but it wasn't welcome.
Not at all.

So he did what his instincts told him to do, he moved a little, the thing quickly retreated,

'Ha! That's what you get!' 1x thought to himself,
soon he heard something else approach.. this time it felt... comforting? It felt weird.. making 1x want to check it out, so he punched and headbudded the hard shell(?) Surrounding him.

Until he broke out.. he let out a soft grunt before checking his surroundings, so that's what it was... an egg! He had been stuck in a egg! And ... was that... Shedletsky in the bushes?... weird.

As he turned his head forwards he saw someone unexpected, 007n7. He... wasn't where he was supposed to be...
That-.. that's weird..,
he didn't know where he was nor where in the timeline he ended up but... 007n7 definitely wasn't supposed to be here..

1x shook it off as he noticed 007n7 staring at him with ... was that.. recognition?... the other man stepped up to him, he was startled as 007n7 picked him up and set him in his arms,
it felt... safe...

He felt safe...

He finally felt like he was wanted..

Nobody noticed the small smile 1x had on his face as he was carried to the house,

And Noone will know that his previous plans to 'take care' of he who had betrayed him where forgotten in the egg he came from..

As 007n7 had put him together with c00lkid in the play room 1x looked up at 007n7 and finally spoke out.

"Y0u.. y0u kn0w my nam3 r1ght?" 1x for once spoke out with what seemed to be uncertainty, he felt like if he was right, the other would just abandon him like he had been before.

Instead 007n7 just smiled at 1x before soflty speaking out "who you've been in the past doesn't define you now, so long as you don't hurt c00lkid on purpose I have no trouble with you being my other son."

God.. that almost made 1x cry (even he himself didn't know he still could cry) "1 sha1l pr0t3ct h1m l1k3 an br0th3r" he whispered out, like the words themselves where more of an fact then a promise.

007n7 smiled down at the boy before crouching to his level, he then opened his arms and invited 1x in for a hug if he wanted...

he had not hesitated, 1x practically ran into his arms and wept,
he wept for his past experiences and wept for the family he had gotten that day.

007n7 cradled him in his arms rocking him through his cries and softly ran one of his hands down the boys back and one through the boys hair, comforting him.

"You my son now, I'm not leaving you or your brother behind.. okay? I promise you.. I'll do everything in my power to protect the both of you." 007n7 whispered out, as he kissed 1x on the top of his head. Continuing to comfort the boy.

It took a while before 1x calmed down enough to break free from the hug, his eyes where very puffy.

007n7 handed him a glass of water before asking if he felt better now, to which the boy nodded with his puffy eyes.

007n7 gave a last pat on 1x's head before going to confront telamon(?) On his earlier words.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

007n7 slowly closed the door to the play room as he quickly turned around and stormed off the stairs, chasing after telamon(?) Who as soon as he had noticed 007n7, ran outside.

honestly it had looked like an wife running after their husband with an Doughroller in hand, but without an doughroller.

"Get back here you overgrown chicken!!" 007n7 yelled out while chasing telamon(?) Around.

"Please! I'm sorry! 007n7 please I do apologize!!" Shedletsky yelled back still running away, he had officially decided to never anger the other again. At least... Shedletsky shouldn't.

007n7 had somehow managed to grab onto one of Shedletsky's wings,
making Shedletsky fall down on his face.

007n7 had tried.. he really had tried to stay serious... but.. the man infront of him had just stopped moving all together out of shame..

It started with 007n7 letting out some soft chuckles before he full on broke out into giggles..
he couldn't help it.. the guy looked like an chick that had fallen for the first time after learning how to walk...

oh even better the man had let out an yelp before tripping..!

Shedletsky laid there as 007n7 was giggling,
he felt that telamon was pissed but himself...
he couldn't help but admire the other man's laughter, 007n7 sounded amazing...

God both him and telamon where doomed.

Shedletsky knew exactly what this feeling meant..
he would need to talk with telamon (himself) soon... because this didn't mean anything good.. they where both down bad and only Shedletsky knew..

this was why telamon wanted to freely give over control wasn't it... so he wouldn't have to deal with this..

Curse himself.

How corny that sounded didn't exactly matter as much as how he had beef with himself right now.

After a while both 007n7 and Shedletsky calmed down somewhat. So they settled down on the patio infront of the house as they started talking.

"So... your telling me.. that you've got an case of an second personality?" 007n7 asked in a slight amusement but mostly genuine interest.

"I suppose that's a way to.. ehm.. call it?" Shedletsky responded awkwardly, he hadn't thought about it in that way, he had always assumed it was normal.

"And what do I call you anyways big guy?" 007n7 asked, he looked at Shedletsky with one of his usual smiles.

God that man is going to ruin him.. Shedletsky thought as he avoided his gaze, "you can call me Shedletsky"

"Shed-let-sky? Hm, I like it.. it rolls of the tongue nicely" 007n7 nodded to himself as he slowly got up, "Any dinner requests Shedletsky?" He looked back as he said that.

The sudden use of his name made Shedletsky jump a little, he hadn't expected that his own name would sound so nice when said by 007n7... no! No! Bad thoughts!!

"Eh! I ehm, I have no preferences.. why don't you go ask that thi- kid.! Yeah maybe that kid has something he wants to eat!" Shedletsky quickly caught himself before he repeated an mistake.

007n7 suspiciously watched on as Shedletsky corrected his words before nodding "yeah ill go and ask him" he said before moving into the house,
once again leaving Shedletsky behind with his own thoughts..

seriously man stop that! He needed the distraction!!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

007n7 softly knocked on the door to the play room before opening it,
"Sorry to disturb you both, but 1x do you have an preference for dinner?" 007n7 asked while smiling.
The question made 1x look up from the spot where he had been playing with c00lkid.

"C4n w3 e4t p1zz4¿" 1x asked, he looked quite hopeful making 007n7 chuckle at the enthusiasm.

"Sure we can kid, what kind of pizza do you want?" He spoke, patiently waiting for 1x to decide.

"3h 1 w4nt 4n h4wa1i p1zz4.." he looked unsure, like he'd been yelled at before for even asking such a thing..

"Noted" 007n7 responded, not yelling at the boy for his choice or anything, instead he nodded without worry or judgement. Once again closing the door softly as he went downstairs to ask Shedletsky the same question.

"Shedletsky, what kind of pizza do you want?" 007n7 spoke out as he grabbed his phone to call someone.

"Any with chicken is fine." Shedletsky lazily responded as he hanged on the couch, his head on the floor and his legs pointing at the ceiling... well if he was comfortable in that position who was 007n7 to judge.

007n7 hummed a bit while he called builderman, he would Love to order pizza himself but.. he really didn't want to see the employee there.. so he'd have to call someone to order for him and bring it to them.

Ofcourse he could've called anyone else...but he did have builder mans number... and he hadn't talked with the other for a while so he could also just invite the man over for dinner.

"*beep.. beep.., click* yeah this is builder man speaking?" 007n7 snorted a bit at the professional tone before responding

"Sorry to bother you mate, had an question." He heard builder man gasp a little on the otherside of the line.

"Nah, your not bothering me at all man, whatcha' need?"

"Was wondering, could you get us some pizzas? Get one for yourself as well, I'm inviting you over to eat." 007n7 responded, his tone sounded peaceful.

"Alright, what kind of pizzas do you need?" Builder man asked, the sound of rustling paper in the background, he was apparently writing the list down.

As 007n7 gave the list to builder man, the other had responded with an ill be there soon, so 007n7 hung up and went to tell the others that the pizza would arrive soon with an guest.

"I want to ask you Shedletsky to behave, I don't want builder man to be drained from his energy because of you." 007n7 looked seriously at Shedletsky, who in turn looked theatrically betrayed back.

"I always behave!" Shedletsky exclaimed, making 1x snort a little. The boy found it extremely amusing how Shedletsky was behaving at that moment. He then returned to play with c00lkid for a while, the other two where having what seemed to be a staring contest... weird.. 1x was like pretty sure both of them where adults..

They where acting like children.. 1x mused a bit.

The staring contest took a while and the winner was 007n7, probably because the man was an father of two now, but his staring and observing skills where like no other!

As the contest died down an knock was heard at the door.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Chapter 6

Summary:

I hope yall are excited! Because soon the flirting from one side will start, only... it will be awkward flirting (as I cannot flirt myself)

A bit of a shorter chapter but there will be an backflash coming so stay tuned for that!

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

007n7 opened the door for builder man, who stepped inside the house with a couple boxes with pizza, making dinner officially begin..

soon the house was filled with laughter and conversations, 1x helping 007n7 with feeding c00lkid and builder man watching them together with Shedletsky.

After a while of just watching them interact builder man turned to look at Shedletsky, what he saw did not surprise him at all,

the man was letting out small sighs as he longingly looked at 007n7.. and as they say, keep your friends close but your enemies closer. Builder man chuckled a bit as he nudged Shedletsky to get his attention,

"If you stare any longer you'll burn a hole into him" he spoke out, startling Shedletsky a bit who in turn looked like he'd been caught doing something illegal.

"I.. I wasn't.." Shedletsky stuttered out.

"You weren't? Are you sure? It seemed like it" Builder man chuckled a bit again.

Shedletsky looked both guilty and embarrassed making builder man pause a bit with his teasing, this time he looked serious

"Want to go talk about it?" He offered Shedletsky, who with an red face nodded.. an talk was really needed so they both excused themselves before heading to the garden to have their talk.

"So, you finally have a crush? Took you a while." Builder man remarked as he sat down next to Shedletsky, who avoided his eyes.

"... your not mad?." Shedletsky nervously asked, it seemed as if he was more asking himself then builder man but then again, it was always like this whenever he and Shedletsky talked.

His conversation with telamon where always more... both sided? While Shedletsky talked more to himself..

"As long as it's not a child or a dead body.. I frankly don't care." Builder man casually remarked, making Shedletsky chuckle a bit.

As if I'd ever be into that. I'm glad to know you don't.. judge me for it.., now to just make sure that telamon knows it's okay to feel like this.. I'm a little scared.. you remember the last time I tried talking about our feelings with the guy?

Builder man nodded a bit, he remembered.. it had been.. quite.. hectic..

That incident had led to telamon being the front for two whole years.... normally they had equally shared their body but after that telamon had taken over control., which also meant that both of them had not had an proper vacation for two whole years..

Which also may have been the reason for builder man sending them as 007n7's surveillance, it would be a sort of vacation for them.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

While they where holding their conversation 1x was contemplating and deciphering what the stares meant that Shedletsky was giving 007n7 during dinner, quite frankly he had never seen the man look at anyone like that.

Not in his last timeline that is..

It was... weird... what kind of looks where that? It wasn't disgust, or anger, no he had seen those before.. it had to have been something new, and that scared 1x a bit. He was still trying to understand everything when it suddenly had clicked..

Shedletsky

Liked liked

007n7...

1x internally screamed, that guy felt things for his new dad?! How dare he! 1x would need to keep an close eye on him!! No way in any universe would 1x let Shedletsky anywhere close to 007n7 alone again!!

It would be too dangerous! Who knows what could happen!! 1x wasn't going to take any chances!
He nodded before excusing himself from the table, after asking 007n7 if he could play with his brother for a while he immediately sat on the floor in the play room and grabbed some crayons and paper.

"Okay c00lkid listen up! We need to form a plan!" 1x instructed his baby brother who very sweetly coo'ed in response.

"We cannot let things go the way thing are going right now! Who knows what could happen!!" He exclaimed while coloring an rough 'plan' on the paper. Soon 1x was going on about the plan to never let Shedletsky have an one on one moment with 007n7.. it was an masterful plan! Truly an Beautiful piece of work.

Meanwhile 007n7 had been left alone in the living room, he had many things to worry about, his new son, Shedletsky and telamons switch.., oh and he would magically need to make a new kids bedroom appear..

He didn't want to admit it but he truly had to give his room to 1x, he'd love to make c00lkid share a room with the boy but he feared c00lkid would wake 1x up and honestly he truly didn't wish that upon anyone..

He'd have to ask builder man for help after the guy is done talking to Shedletsky.
Which by the looks of things would take a while... so he could finally take a.. nap.. yeah.. a nice nap..

That sounded..

Nice..

Awfully nice..

And soon, 007n7 drifted away to dream land.. where not so pleasant memories lie..
Let's just hope he'll know it's just a dream, and that he doesn't get lost on the way back to reality..
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Chapter 7

Summary:

Hehe, yes finally an entire chapter at once!! Also flirting arc has started officially!!

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It was morning, 007n7 had heard a knock on the door.. and when he had opened it he saw him, an red baby..
Weird, 007n7 shrugged as he took the kid inside,

He had been placed in that house,

brought under surveillance for the time being as the admins decided his fate.
Everything had been going fine. Just his normal check ups, builderman coming in to check every now and then.

Weeks and eventually months went past until 007n7 decided he had enough and fled.

He took his son and escaped confinement, his ankle monitor taken off and thrown in a river as he gleefully ran across hills with his son in his arms,

Freedom at last, oh how wonderous.

But.. freedom doesn't last forever, and he soon was chased after by admins and bounty hunters...
It had been tiring, taking into account that he still had his son as well...

And if he where to look back in the future, he had made decisions that would lead to his death.. even with an son in the mix he didn't stop his actions, no.. instead he doubled them..

Tormenting people for fun, using c00lgui for anything but right things..
He truly had doomed himself and his son..

He only realized his own actions when his son became 9, the boy had taken after him.. and burned down an pizza place.. one 007n7 himself had burned down multiple times as well..

God.. his boy.. his baby,

he was wanted... they wanted to bring his baby down..
He couldn't handle it.. it was too much.

He was responsible..
He had doomed his sons future..

And then [he] came, ....noli... and his 'deal'

He would help 007n7's boy, his precious son out, but only if 007n7 would work for noli...

And agree to never see c00lkid again..

And like the blind fool 007n7 was for his son he agreed..

He didn't see his boy again until he was executed..noli..noli had lied to him..

His boy hadn't been safe... no, instead noli handed his boy to the admins to deal with... noli had lied

NOLI

HAD

LIED.

everything was burning... everything was red.. bloody hands.. fire everywhere.. sirens.. telamons voice..

"007n7 put that down.."

Nothing broke him out of his trance.. he had done it..

He had taken his revenge.. he had killed noli.. noli had died by his hands..
Everything went by with an blur.

And then there he stood.. on that execution spot..

"Any last words?"
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Shedletsky had gone back inside, waving his goodbyes to builder man who went home..
As he turned back into the house he noticed 007n7 sleeping on the couch. It seemed to be an.. not so pleasant dream..

Shedletsky crouched infront of 007n7's face, holding the urge to either poke the man's cheek or give him an kiss.
He was about to poke him when 007n7's eyes suddenly flew open..

And there they where... staring at each other.. Shedletsky frozen with his finger almost poking 007n7..
A few seconds went by where they both didn't dare to say anything, making an awkward tension fill the air..

....
..
.
"So eh, the weather huh?" Shedletsky muttered as he finally looked anywhere but 007n7.

"Really? The weather?" 007n7 responded in an unamused tone.

"I'm bad at these things alright?!" Shedletsky defended..

Making 007n7 scoff before giggling maniacally, Shedletsky soon joined in with laughing a bit..
Soon they both calmed down and Shedletsky sat down next to 007n7 who had sat upright on the couch.

"Want to ehm., talk about the dream you had? You seemed.. a bit.. shaken." Shedletsky offered him, looking slightly concerned yet uninterested at the same time.. it truly was an talent.

007n7 shook his head in response, it was nothing he could openly talk about with Shedletsky.. not now atleast.
And on top of that.. it was his own problem.

Nothing Shedletsky, builder man or telamon would need to fix for him.
He'd figure it out.. on his own.. he has done it before so there is no need for help now.

Right?
Yes.

"No need to worry your feathers about it, I'll figure it out myself" 007n7 responded, he smiled a bit before taking off to the kitchen to grab himself something cold to drink.

The dream had made his throat sore.

Shedletsky still sat there.. misfunctioning a bit. Surely 007n7 didn't mean that as a flirt.. he was probably looking way to much into it. Yes...

Soon Shedletsky noticed someone on the stairs.. it was that thi- boy it was that boy from before.. 1x? Yeah..
007n7 mentioned his name being 1x

As he looked at 1x the boy looked back with an feisty stare, doing that 'I'm watching you' sign with his fingers making Shedletsky questionably point to himself, receiving an confirming nod from 1x who slowly went back upstairs while still doing the same 'I'm watching you' sign..

Strange...

Truly strange..

007n7 truly had the weirdest taste in children.. but if he where to say that to the man's face Shedletsky was pretty sure he would be beaten up without a doubt.

Better keep those thoughts to himself then..
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Chapter 8

Summary:

Guess who couldn't hold back and went ahead and write another chapter.......

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The days had gone by and without an doubt shedletsky could now confidently say that 1x was keeping an eye on him..

The boy hadn't let him have alone time with 007n7 at all.. and honestly it started to irritate him a bit, especially since he had subtlety tried to flirt with 007n7 here and there... the kid was like an flirt-block!!

Not that 007n7 noticed... the man was as oblivious as an darn rock.. God shedletsky was doomed to his very core..
Not just that but he had made a small deal with telamon, if his flirting tactics didn't work then they would have it the old fashioned way (the way of the birds.)

And honestly? Shedletsky rather not do it that way.. so he was really trying everything in his own power to prevent it.. which wasn't helping with this twerp getting in his way!!

As shedletsky was contemplating on how to approach this whole situation, 007n7 was playing with both his sons, the dream he had a couple days ago made him anxiously watch over his kids more.. he knew it was ridiculous but he was scared to lose the both of them..

(He wouldn't admit it out loud but shedletsky counted as well) he smiled as his boys where sweetly playing together, it made him feel like he'd finally made an correct choice for once..

The next thing he'd have to figure out was the bedroom situation for 1x, because of him falling asleep that day he had completely forgotten to actually ask builder man for help so for now he'd have to figure out something else..

He could ask shedletsky if he'd be willing to share his bedroom but that would be his last resort..
Honestly he was afraid to even ask a favor of the other currently, he may have acted like he didn't notice anything but he did see the way shedletsky changed a bit..

He was not yet sure on how to feel about it..

It was like the man wanted something from him..

Weird...

007n7 snapped out of his thoughts when both c00lkid and 1x where staring at him.
After putting those thoughts in the back of his mind he returned to playing with both boys, an very cool game.

It was two dragons and a princess who was trapped in a castle, they had technically enough players for a prince to rescue said princess but both 1x and c00lkid (because 1x handed him the little dragon) wanted to be dragons..

Leaving 007n7 to play the princess.. for some.. odd reason.. (1x was very adamant of him playing the princess)
After a while 1x went downstairs saying that 'he'll be back with an prince for the princess.', making 007n7 chuckle a bit at what he knew was coming next.

After a while of waiting shedletsky came pushed through the door by 1x who kept saying 'must rescue the princess.' With an extremely serious tone.

Shedletsky was red.. as red as an tomato.. he'd been defeated.. brought into the play room against his will.. by someone who was twice as short as himself...

He had gone and made an giant fool of himself.. oh God.

007n7 smiled in amusement as shedletsky finally sat down, continuing the game.

And oh 007n7 played his roll well... really well... he might in shedletsky's opinion look way too good in such a roll..
Or as stated time and time before shedletsky was just down bad.. very down bad

Extremely down bad...

Shedletsky's wings fluttered a bit, he tried to hide it because it clearly showed his infatuation with 007n7..
An million thoughts went through his mind at that moment,

'God he's pretty' 'his laugh is cute.' 'The way he cares for his children is adorable' 'he is adorable' 'his lips look soft...NO NO BAD SHEDLETSKY' 'I want to kiss him..'

And shedletsky had never before in his life turned his head away faster.. oh and he's never been this red on the cheeks.. there is an first time for everything he supposed..
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

After the game 007n7 had tucked both boys in, c00lkid in his usual bed but he tucked 1x into what was previously his own bed.

As he closed the door he turned to find shedletsky look at him weirdly again, 007n7 avoided his gaze.. he was still confused on how he felt about it..

As they both got downstairs shedletsky decided to ask the question, "if the kids sleeping in your bed.. where eh.. are you.. going to sleep?" He hesitantly said

"The couch I think?" 007n7 responded, a little unsure before with a little confidence shooting back

"Why wanted to ask me to share your bed with you?" He chuckled a bit, not expecting shedletsky to actually offer.

"I was going to offer that actually.." shedletsky awkwardly responded while rubbing his neck..

The response made 007n7 freeze a bit, he looked a little shocked.. "you-.. you mean it?"

Shedletsky nodded his confirmation, he really meant it... this man was confusing 007n7 to his very core..
He'd lie if he didn't feel slightly touched, but mostly shock..

It felt... unexpected, so he did what he found the most logical.. he felt shedletsky's temperature.. there was no fever.. he was a little red on the cheeks though.. weird...

"Well if your serious ill take you upon that offer tomorrow." 007n7 nervously responded.. he wanted to wait it out a day to see if shedletsky was actually serious on his offer... he didn't want the man to change his mind while he had just moved into the room! That would be awkward!!

Shedletsky wordlessly nodded at the response before moving like he was an robot without joints into his bedroom.
As he closed the door he turned and slid down it..

He accepted..

He had accepted to sharing a room..

Shedletsky had just doomed himself..

Absolutely

Flipping..

Doomed himself..

Shedletsky hid his face behind his hands as he cursed himself.
He was not backing down though.. no way.. he had just come this far!

If he'd back down now he'd never in his pathetic life shoot his shot again...

So as he lied in his bed, he couldn't sleep a wink that entire night...
And that was only because he was thinking about 007n7.. imagine what would happen to his sleep if he needed to sleep next to the man.

Fucked.

He was absolutely

Fucked.

Chapter 9

Summary:

featuring local simp shedletsky!

(Promise telamon will return from his vacation from feeling any emotions)

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The next morning wouldn't come slower for shedletsky, safe to say...he had not slept this bad in his entire life.
As he tossed and turned he felt frustration creep up on him,

He sighed as he got up and went to get himself something to drink, passing by 007n7 asleep on the couch as he went to the fridge..
The man seemed to be having another nightmare, as he was tossing and turning while frowning in his sleep.

Shedletsky looked with pity as he grabbed his drink.. he should probably check on him... right? That's what humans do when someone has a nightmare...

So shedletsky sighed to himself as he approached the sleeping 007n7..

he contemplated a while on how he should even try to comfort him before he caught himself petting 007n7 on the head, softly stroking his hair back and forth in an comforting manner..

He did not know he even knew how to do that.. as he continued petting 007n7 he was slightly shocked at himself..
Soon he started making hushing noises and comforting whispers,

Right..

He had seen 007n7 do this with the red child before, when the child was fussy in his sleep.

It had seemed to help the kid so it should help 007n7 as well..no?
It seemed to work atleast.. because said man was currently nuzzling shedletsky's hand while sleeping...

Fuck.. that was adorable..

Shedletsky scolded himself a bit while continuing to comfort 007n7, he was sure he'd think about this for atleast 4 months.. Well best to not dwell on it, he already knew he had doomed himself.

Soon 007n7 started to peacefully sleep, his nightmare seemed to have gone by.. so shedletsky reluctantly took his hand back and retreated into his room..

What had he been doing again?

How late was it?

His hair was soft....

He looked cute...

Wait what was he trying to remember again?

Shedletsky went back to sleep, he had forgotten the drink he'd gotten from the fridge on the coffee table infront of the couch..

not that shedletsky would remember.. he was already peacefully dreaming about going on a picnic date with 007n7. Truly the happiest man alive in his dreams..
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The next morning came around as 007n7 hazily sat up from the couch, as he rubbed his eyes he noticed a drink on the table... weird..
007n7 shrugged it off as he went to start the day, making some breakfast for himself, 1x and c00lkid.
As he walked upstairs with breakfast in hand he noticed 1x peeking from what was now the boys bedroom.

"Morning, did you sleep well kid?" 007n7 asked him with an soft tone, to which the boy groggily nodded, sleep still clear in his eyes.. seems like he just woke up.

"M0rn1ng d4d, d1d y0u sl3ep w3ll t0o?" 1x responded, he sounded a little sleepy, to which 007n7 chuckled softly.

"Mhm, I did, was an surprisingly good night." He left out that he was sure he had a nightmare at some point.

007n7 got c00lkid from his crib, and sat down on the bed with both 1x and c00lkid.. they where happily eating their breakfast together, it looked quite homely.. and gosh did 007n7 want to cry,

He felt like he finally had his family.. something he'd wanted for a while now.. counting shedletsky and telamon too.. but he doesn't want to admit that if he where to be completely honest.
No..
Not at all..

He was going to ignore his mind even gave such an option..
His focus lies with his sons, nothing else.

Soon shedletsky awoke from his peaceful slumber by a kid loudly playing, truly the sounds of an usual... Sunday? Yeah a usual Sunday morning.. God shedletsky felt as if he was experiencing an hang over of sorts..

In short.. his head hurt.. like really badly.. but its fine, nothing he couldn't handle.. haha..
He brushed the awful sensation off as he got ready for the day,

Meaning he walked out in his pj's and grabbed himself some breakfast.
007n7 seemed to be preparing both boys for something, as the man was instructing something to the older of the two, and both boys where dressed in what seemed to be hawaiien shirts and swimming trunks...

Made sense, if the boys hadn't woken shedletsky up he was sure the heat would've

As 1x stormed outside 007n7 slowly followed with c00lkid in his arms, he had prepared an small pool outside with an small layer of water, as 1x excitingly jumped inside 007n7 followed soon after with c00lkid,

The boy was too young to play inside a pool himself but he could if 007n7 joined him, truly it seemed like an normal family if you didn't count that one of the children had his ribcage visible and the other child was seemingly a red demon.. but hey.. that didn't matter.

Soon there where a load of giggle sounds coming from outside, making shedletsky a little curious on what was going on out there, as he peeked outside he regrettably looked away as fast as he could..

God that sight was not doing his already giant attraction towards 007n7 any good...
Yes the man wasn't shirtless but he was soaked... he might as well be shirtless as he was wearing a white shirt... that was absolutely soaked..

He could basically see through the shirt...

Damn.

Fuck.

Okay no more peeking at 007n7 for today..

Shedletsky sighed as he slapped his own face a bit (he was as red as an tomato), before turning to grab something cold to drink.. he needed to cool down.. like.. right now.

This wasn't good for him..
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Chapter 10

Summary:

Thought it be funny if telamon didn't actually know how jacking off worked.. (it turned out kinda funny)

Notes:

Slight warning for shedletsky/telamon who got an hard on, everyone bully them!

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

'It's fine.. everything is fine.. nothing is wrong downstairs currently, as long as I ignore it it will go away' shedletsky thought as he reached into the fridge, promptly ignoring anything going on in his downstairs area.. which was proving to be quite the challenge.

As shedletsky grabbed himself something cold he suddenly heared 007n7 speak out from behind him
"Can you grab me something as well?" The sudden voice made him jump and drop his drink... on his foot...

"Oh... hahaha! Did I scare you?" 007n7 chuckled a bit, making shedletsky become even more red then he already was.

That problem from downstairs? Yeah.. it had definitely not gone away.. and the reason for it even being there in the first place was now standing next to him.

Fuck.

Fuck indeed.. now how was shedletsky supposed to get out of this situation..? He could cover it with his hands but that would look... suspicious, he could also not turn his body to 007n7 but no... that would also raise suspicion..

Best course of action? Act like nothings wrong.

"Yeah ehm, you did eh, scare me a bit.. haha, ehm let me grab you something to drink! Yeah!" Shedletsky rambled on, amusing 007n7 a bit.. as shedletsky gave the drink over to 007n7 their hands touched..

Now while 007n7 had no reaction whatsoever besides saying a quick thank you before heading back outside, shedletsky had an enormous reaction.. more specifically.. downstairs..

....fuck.

So like any reasonable man, he bolted to his room and shut himself inside.. sinking to the floor as he felt a lot of things..

Frustration,

Humiliation..,

Disappointment.,

And a small bit of lust.
He was so disappointed in himself for even letting it get to this.., it was bad, he had an hard on only by looking at 007n7.. this was bad, this was insanely bad, he felt frustration creep up on him as he clenched his fists,

How dare he, how dare he lust after someone without their knowledge..
Especially someone he lived with for God's sake, it was like he had no boundaries.. and he wasn't talking about telamon this time.. it was himself, telamon was shouting in his mind to just deal with their issue.

Shedletsky refused, so telamon decided 'enough is enough' and switched themselves, if shedletsky wasn't going to deal with their problem then he would.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As telamon took full control again he rolled his shoulder a bit before going further into the bedroom, as he sat down on his bed he began to check up on his body and its condition..

Yeah..

He was definitely hard,
Well no surprise there.. a very normal reaction, just need to take care of it...

How.. exactly? Telamon wasn't sure.. he may have talked big with the 'ill take care of it' but honestly telamon had no clue on how to go about it.. does he just.. poke? At it?... no poking did absolutely nothing.. weird.

How do mortals deal with such a thing again? Wasn't it like something about touching? He forgot the specifics, let's just honestly say that telamon despite his confidence in doing it himself.. could not do it himself..
Which is honestly the most pathetic thing shedletsky has ever witnessed telamon do in their body.

It took an hour or 2 with shedletsky basically coaching telamon through it before he finally finished..
Telamon now understood shame, embarrassment and the weird way mortals reproduce... to a certain point that is.

One thing is certain, this task will from now on lie with shedletsky only, telamon refused to take such an task upon him again.

As he finished up, telamon decided to wear his usual robes again and walk outside his room, the earlier happenings in said room forgotten behind him, or so he intended..
As soon as he opened the door he was met with the face of 007n7 who quirked an eyebrow at the robes telamon was wearing.

First words out of 007n7's mouth where "your lucky I had put the boys to bed already." ...

..
.
Uh oh..
Well safe to say that even an tomato wouldn't look as red as telamon did.. right then and there..
God did he want to bury himself alive..

"You heard me?" Telamon asked, his tone slightly uncertain but it sounded very much like telamon.

He didn't receive an answer, instead 007n7 sighed and shook his head, he truly seemed.. disappointed?
No.. he was holding back his laughter... the man was trying his hardest not to laugh at telamon.

But gosh was it hard..

Especially because the other man seemed so self conscious... it may be mean of 007n7 but honestly.

He had never seen telamon act like that, and it was a little refreshing if he where to be honest..

If telamon continued to act like that, 007n7 might start to like him as well...
But..

No..

No.

007n7 had no time for such feelings, he needed to focus on his boys, nothing else mattered.. not his own feelings nor the feelings of anyone but his two boys.

He needed to push these feelings away for another time, just not now.. not when he needed to protect his children.

Maybe some day..

Just..

Not now.

Chapter 11

Summary:

Apologies for not posting anything yesterday, I had absolutely no writing inspiration
Also I may have sneaked in a two time and azure reference ^^
Felt a little poetic in the end ✨️

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

To say that the day had gone by entirely smoothly would be an giant lie, but even with its couple bumps here and there.. it had been an amazing day nonetheless.

Telamon had switched with shedletsky again, Meaning shedletsky was now dealing with the aftermath of that day.. Meaning..

he also may have forgotten that he had told 007n7 that he could sleep in his room for the time being, honestly what had he been thinking..

That confidence he had when proposing the idea had gone away, and all that was left was him and his insecurity..

So when 007n7 had told him he was turning in for the night shedletsky completely froze, he had absolutely no clue on how to approach any of this.

He stood there for a while as 007n7 retreated into his(their?) Room, shedletsky kept on just staring infront of himself, as if he was seeing something interesting.

He wasn't, he was just at a complete loss on what to do.

007n7 had closed the door before stepping inside, as he looked around he noted that the right side of the bed looked more slept in so he went to the left side of the bed..

shedletsky or telamon (he wasn't quite sure at the moment) seemed a bit bothered at the idea of sharing a bed so 007n7 decided to do something he hoped would ease their tension.

He carefully arranged some pillows across the exact middle of the bed in a sort of separation banner, he nodded as he felt that he had done a good job,

taking his pj's (which where actually a random hello kitty shirt and some shorts) and went to change inside the small bathroom attached to the bedroom.

After a while shedletsky came back to himself and knocked on the door to see if he could safely enter,
As he heard 007n7 answer a "You can enter" He carefully opened the door and shuffled inside, his wings fluttering behind him anxiously..

As he fully stepped Inside he noted that 007n7 had put up an separation, probably for his own peace of mind, shedletsky wouldn't blame the man.

said man was currently peacefully reading an book as he sat upright in bed, the covers already over his legs..

It seemed.. awfully.. domestic?

Shedletsky was sure he had seen numerous old robloxian couples do the exact same thing, but that thought will need to be saved for later,

right now he had to stop making a fool of himself because 007n7 seemed to have caught him staring.. how... embarrassing.

As shedletsky took of to the bedroom himself, muttering something along the lines of "I need a shower",

007n7 chuckled a bit at his anxious antics before returning to his book, it was quite the interesting read! It was written by someone with the pen name '@zur3', and it described life in a cult.

The writer had gone in deep depths about what it was like, he seemed to have escaped from what the book says, with an friend that is.. 007n7 was right now reading about how difficult it had been for both the writer and his friend to forget and unlearn the cults mannerism.

It reminded 007n7 about what noli had taught him.. back in his last life, noli had basically trained 007n7 to give a sick form of 'love' to noli, 007n7 decided he despised any form of religion or cults, not only did it remind him of noli it also reminded him of where he had gone wrong himself.

To be a Deity, worshippers, holiness and prayer, such are the things noli asked of his followers.

To betray is to murder, to leave is to die.

Noli will never leave.

Whether you want him to or not.

That prayer had been right, 007n7 had fled to another timeline yet noli still somehow seemed to haunt him, it will be different. This time 007n7 would not have a need for noli, he would be able to peacefully live his life without the intervention from gods, admins and himself.

No it was not a 'would' it was a 'need'.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Shedletsky was soon done showering and changing into his own sleeping wear, as he settled in his side of the bed he looked towards 007n7 who was still entranced in his book.

"What.. are you eh, reading?" He awkwardly spoke out, seemingly actually interested instead of asking out of politeness.

"It's an autobiography about life in and out of a cult, it's really interesting." 007n7 answered, his voice a bit softer as he was concentrated on the book content. His glasses where a bit ascrew but 007n7 made no move to correct them.

"It sounds interesting, what kind of writing style is it?" Shedletsky continued asking, his attention more on 007n7's glasses and hands then the book but he genuinely wanted to know.

"It's in both the first person and in the third person, it's quite the interesting way of story telling." 007n7 happily explained, he was overjoyed that shedletsky showed interest in what he was reading,

It meant that he could take his mind of noli for a while, talking or even interacting with shedletsky/telamon always has such an effect, it felt comforting.. in a way.. it seems that shedletsky being here out of everyone did do some good to 007n7,

007n7 just wasn't ready to admit that to himself, he felt undeserving of such feelings, and not just about feeling them.. also to just have such feelings pointed towards him of all people.

Shedletsky and 007n7 ended up talking for most of the night before together deciding that sleep was also recommended to have. So 007n7 took off his glasses and placed them on the nightstand at his side, before turning off the light.

Shedletsky was already lying down on his stomach, his wings curled in a bit.. it seemed.. uncomfortable.

"You can take in more space for those wings of yours, I won't mind." 007n7 whispered towards shedletsky, due to it being late he was incapable of fully raising his own voice.

Shedletsky looked up to 007n7, who smiled comforting in return, so shedletsky reluctantly relaxed and let his wings take in more space, Meaning they curled a bit around the both of them.

It was like 007n7 had an blanket, just a feathery blanket.. they where quite soft, it surprised 007n7 a bit. He remembered getting hit by those wings before in the past, they always seemed.. hard..

They had hurt quite a bit so it was a weird sensation to feel, it was unexpected mostly... but comforting.
007n7 felt warm and safe for once, he didn't know he could still feel things like that..

It scared him..

It felt new,
Unknown..

Scary..

007n7 almost cried as he was lulled to sleep in the comforting embrace of one of shedletsky's wings, his dreams where for once peaceful instead of painful nightmares of past events,

He was home.

And so was shedletsky..
He was softly lulled to sleep as well, 007n7's visible comfort eased alot of his own insecurities,
He felt like he did something correct for once,

He had finally taken a step forwards instead of one backwards.
It also meant telamon wouldn't try to court 007n7 in his way.. not for now atleast.

It was another weight off his shoulders.

The night was calm as the both of them slept, they both felt peace wash over them like an low tide sea crashing into its sandy company..

They will heal each other and together will experience adventures and hardships like no other.
But that shall wait, as for now the night shall need to take its time to pass into the first morning dew.

I Wanted to know if yall wanted me to do an Q&A in the comments :3

Chapter 12

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When 007n7 awoke the following morning he found himself a little trapped, shedletsky had boxed them both inside his wings in his sleep, not that 007n7 minded he just needed to get up to make breakfast for everyone..

So with alot of effort he wriggled himself free from the cocoon shedletsky had made for them both, in the process of fighting for his literal freedom shedletsky started to shift a bit, slowly waking up from the movement next to him, 

As he sleepily looked towards 007n7 he just kind of... hugged 007n7, like the man was a stuffed animal in the process of falling off the bed.

007n7 just sighed a bit before softly trying to get shedletsky's attention,

"Shed as comforting as this is, I do need to start breakfast.." the nickname just slipped.. but the both of them didn't notice at that moment.

"Five more minutes..." Shedletsky grumbled back, his voice very clearly that of a man who had just woken up.

"No, come on.. aren't you atleast a little hungry? And the boys will be awake soon." 007n7 retorted trying his best to make the sleepy shedletsky see his point.

Well it had worked, because shedletsky grumbling and all finally let go of 007n7, he looked like a sad chick who just lost its food.

007n7 chuckled a bit before petting shedletsky's hair and going to make breakfast.

The gesture had officially woken shedletsky up, his face turning a vibrant red.

"God, 007n7 what you do to me is insane.." He muttered, his hands covering his face as everything that just happened rushed back to his head.

"He has doomed me., and he doesnt even know it." Shedletsky was contemplating his life decisions up to this point.

Meanwhile 007n7 was trying his best to start breakfast but he too was having an exstistancial crisis, what was he thinking?! He had dug his own grave even deeper.. he had told himself multiple times to let his own feelings go until he was stable enough... but here he had gone and explore them without even meaning to

He shook his head, trying his best to direct his focus on the breakfast he was preparing, while he was cutting up some fruit for an fruit salad he heard someone slowly walk down the stairs, as he looked behind him he smiled as he saw one of his sons.

1x looked still a little groggy as he shuffled into the kitchen to greet his dad, as he reached his dad he kind of just grabbed onto one of his legs and leaned his head into him.

"Did you sleep alright bud?" 007n7 asked as he continued cutting up the fruit.

"Y3ah 1 d1d, h0w 4bout y0u d4d?" 1x responded, his voice practically dripping with 'I just woke up'

"I slept alright, thank you for asking. Could you check if your brother is awake yet?" 007n7 finished up cutting the fruit as he looked at 1x, it was clear, this was an option, 1x could say no.

1x nodded happily as he went back upstairs to check on his little brother. Despite him being tired he was determined to complete the task his dad gave him.

007n7 chuckled a bit at the determination that 1x carried as he walked upstairs, he turned back towards the food he had prepared and started setting the table.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Shedletsky came out of the bedroom soon after 007n7 had finished setting the table, he groggily went towards 007n7, despite thinking over everything and having a little clarity earlier, it soon had disappeared as he fell asleep again.

As he approached 007n7 he settled his head in the crook of 007n7's neck, God was he tired..

The action surprised 007n7 a bit before he quickly regained his composure, he chuckled a bit before starting to softly pat shedletsky's head.

"Still tired?" 007n7 asked, still petting shedletsky's head, shedletsky in turn became fluid and relaxed.

"Hmpfh" was the only answer 007n7 got from shedletsky, making him chuckle again.

1x who soon had come downstairs to tell his dad that his brother was awake, saw them both and decided to do something about it,

He started to throw weak punches at shedletsky, saying something along the lines of "th4ts my d4d! B4ck 0ff!!" 
Shedletsky in response decided to also hug 007n7 while still resting in the crook of his neck.

The entire situation made 007n7 start to full on laugh, he found it to be the best feeling ever, he felt like he finally had an family again.

007n7's laughter soon infected both shedletsky and 1x, making the three of them giggle and laugh their hearts out.

After the laughter had died down 1x told 007n7 that c00lkid was awake making 007n7 nod appreciatively before going to get c00lkid from his room to eat, leaving 1x and shedletsky staring at each other at the dinner table.

"1 d0nt l1k3 y0u." 1x grumbled to shedletsky as he gave the man the stink eye.

"The feeling is mutual kid." Shedletsky responded back.

Soon it was like they where having a sort of staring contest, where 1x was currently definitely winning.
007n7 was upstairs as he softly took c00lkid from his crib, softly muttering an goodmorning, making the child giggle at his father, his small eyes turning into crescents as he smiled.

The sight alone making 007n7 coo out, both of his sons where absolutely adorable, 007n7 would do anything for them both. Anything.

He softly started to pet c00lkids head while taking him downstairs.
As they all sat down at the dinner table, 007n7 nodded and breakfast officially begin.

[And now some small character doodles I've made for this fic ^^]

Chapter 13

Summary:

Basically shedletsky bonds with the kids and telamon flirts with 007n7 ^^

(+ an apology for not making them kiss, so I drew them kissing)

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

To say that the dinner table was peaceful would be a blatant lie, but it felt like home anyways.. both c00lkid and 1x had decided throwing crumbs of bread at shedletsky would be a great idea,

Well.. 1x was the only one of the two who actually managed to hit the man.

He called it "br3ad 0f sh4m3", for what reason he was shaming shedletsky was beyond 007n7 but it was funny to witness nonetheless.

As the kids both finished eating their breakfast 007n7 motioned that 1x could go ahead and play.

The kid as if waiting for permission for eighty years practically jumped from joy as he rushed outside,

c00lkid finding everything his elder brother did fantastic also wanted to go outside, as he kept pointing outside while pleadingly looking towards his father.

So 007n7 did something he usually would never have done before, he looked towards shedletsky and asked,

"Could you watch the boys for me?" 007n7 spoke out with an clear trust in the man.

Shedletsky was to say the least flabbergasted, agasted if you will, flattered as well.. he knew that it meant he had somehow earned enough of 007n7's trust, though he must say... he didn't exactly know what he did to earn it.

But it felt special..

It took a while before shedletsky could even mutter an response,
But the response that came out was an flustered stuttering mess..

"I... yeah! Yeah! Ahem,. Sure yeah, ofcourse..!" Shedletsky practically stumbled over his words, his wings fluttering jittery behind him.

He lifted c00lkid from his seat with ease before following 1x outside, he felt undeserving of such trust but he still did feel honored at the same time. As he stepped outside he put c00lkid down in a make-shift baby play area outside,

1x was already inside the fenced off area, playing with some of their shared toys, when he noticed c00lkid he immediately went towards the boy and started to play with him. Completely indifferent to shedletsky who was just awkwardly standing near the fence.

He sighed before going to sit down near the fence, just kind of watching the kids interact..
He would never admit it but he started to see the appeal 007n7 saw in those two gremlins, these kids where starting to grow on him a bit,

1x slower then c00lkid.

Shedletsky and telamon both still had beef with that kid.

As if 1x sensed them both thinking mean things about him he stuck out his tongue to shedletsky, clearly mocking him! The audacity!!

"Oh no you don't!" Shedletsky grumbled as he stepped into the play area and started to chase 1x around,
The boy was clearly enjoying it as he started to manically giggle.

Shedletsky soon stopped his chase to catch his breath next to c00lkid who had been happily giggling and clapping at his brother and shedletsky.

The kid looked at shedletsky with big red eyes... it was increasingly getting more difficult not to pinch his cheek a little and maybe also coo at the boy.

Shedletsky's wings fluttered happily behind him as 1x started to play with them, he didn't pull but he did try to use them as an trampoline one time, safe to say.. he was lucky shedletsky was close by to catch him.

They where bonding, maybe that's what 007n7 had in mind, maybe that had been his intention all along,

'He's courting us, see?' Telamon remarked, shedletsky denied, 'it could be something else.' They both wished for it to be true but shedletsky tried to look at it from the most plausible angle,

Telamon refused to think of it as anything other then courting.

This was... annoying, shedletsky hoped that telamon wouldn't do anything rash.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

007n7 was still inside of the house, he was currently day dreaming a bit before quickly snapping himself out of it, as he looked at the time he realised he had left shedletsky alone with the boys for 4 hours..

He hoped to whatever was out there nothing broke.

So as he walked with a bit of an hurry towards the door way he suddenly stopped in his tracks as he saw the scene developing before him, shedletsky was playing with c00lkid while he let 1x play with both of his wings..

It made 007n7 lean in the doorway a bit before turning back into the house, it seemed everything was fine, nothing broke and everyone was safe.
Shedletsky was making to be an alright parent, 007n7 mused a bit before chucking at himself.

'What am I even thinking? I'm too rash.. I just need to.. clear my head.' 007n7 thought as he grabbed some drinks and snacks for everyone, after making sure he had everything he went outside to hand them the beverages.

 

Shedletsky looked a bit surprised before gratefully taking over an drink from 007n7, the man in question had finished handing the last drinks before disappearing inside again.. that man was seriously going to be the death of shedletsky at some point.

Back inside 007n7 grabbed the book he had been reading the night before and continued it on the couch,
He had an vague idea that this book hadn't existed in his last life, which was weird.. but there was no use on getting stuck on that idea, he was never going to meet the author anyways.

Soon the day went by in an moderately fast pace, shedletsky and the boys had gone inside due to some rain fall appearing, as everyone had gone back inside to warm up a bit 007n7 had made dinner.

After sending the boys to bed, 007n7 walked downstairs only to be met with an stare from shedletsky(?) Actually.. no, this felt like telamon's stare more then shedletsky's,

"Is something wrong?" 007n7 cautiously asked telamon who in return looked at him with an intense stare.

Then telamon did something a little weird but amusing, he started to play some music.

It made 007n7 quirk an eyebrow in amusement.

Then telamon reached out a hand, an offer. Unspoken but loud..

'A dance?'

It surprised 007n7 a bit, but he quickly regained his composure and took telamon's hand. Who in turn pulled him a bit closer before starting to dance with 007n7 in the middle of the living room,

007n7 had no clue on what telamon was thinking but he would be lying if he didn't find it to be the slightest attractive, 007n7 felt.. happy, giddy even as telamon spinned him a bit, the both swayed across the floor as if with practice ease.

The giddy feeling in 007n7 increased as he started to softly giggle as they both continued dancing, telamon smiled without much of an sound, his wings where more responsive, they where fluttering with excitement and giddiness.

Soon telamon spinned 007n7 again and the music had stopped, leaving them hanging a few inches above the ground, faces close together.

007n7 grew red in the face as telamon continued to look at him with an intensity, making 007n7 squeak out a soft
"Hi", it was extremely random. But the situation made 007n7 extremely flustered.

Telamon just smiled down at 007n7 before responding with an "hi" as well,
They just stayed in the position for a while before they both grew too flustered to keep it up.

The speed at which they seperated from each other was immaculate.

There continued to float an awkward tension between the two of them the rest of that night.
Neither wanting to rush the other into an confrontation just yet..

No, the other would need to come to them at their own speed.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Chapter 14

Summary:

Guys... I'm sorry for the chapters after this one, also that chapter will have builder man as pov, so stay tuned for it!

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

A couple of days flew by and soon an entire week had gone by, the tension grew into clear unspoken words between them both, yet neither of the two spoke out about it.

Shedletsky sighed at his own impatience, honestly he was thinking of starting the conversation himself now, telamon agreed with him wholeheartedly, he too was done waiting, he'd tried to make another move but shedletsky had intervened every time.

Mood killer that guy.

They where currently watching the kids together with 007n7, internally screaming about what they should do..

007n7 himself was currently seemingly busy with the boys but Internally fighting his own uncertainty,
Could he even allow himself such feelings? He felt guilty to even have begun developing any sort of feelings towards shedletsky and telamon, he should be focusing on his sons, they where supposed to be the most important thing in his life.

Not some feelings that are haunting him, not telamon nor shedletsky.

He felt guilty, insecure, uncertain and most of all disappointment in himself.
007n7 felt scared that he would let these feelings go to his head and make him break the promise he had made to his sons.

He felt trapped, like he had to choose between family and ..love.
He didn't want to choose, 007n7 refused to choose.

This was needing to be talked about, but that would need to come later, after his boys went to bed.
Not right now.

1x and c00lkid where playing with each other, clueless to the feelings floating in the air surrounding their father and that extra caregiver guy. (1x had started to call him 'the babysitter' in his head)
As they continued playing with each other the day had gone by fast for 1x and c00kid.

But annoyingly slow for shedletsky, he felt like he'd fall asleep from boredom, he was practically smiling as they all finished dinner, it meant he was close to finally getting to talk things over with 007n7.

As the boys where finally in bed 007n7 joined shedletsky on the couch.

They both opened their mouth to say something, but both closed it immediately when they noticed the other wanted to speak as well.

"You can go first" shedletsky offered.

"It wasn't as important, you go ahead" 007n7 shook his hands anxiously,

"Ah, if you're sure?" Shedletsky didn't argue further and cleared his throat... awkwardly..

"So... ehm,.. about.. yesterday..?" Shedletsky while having decided he would talk about all of it with 007n7 hadn't prepared anything to actually say to the other.

"You.. well.. I.. ehm" god shedletsky felt like a mess trying to find his way in the maze called his mind right now.

007n7 didn't interrupt, no instead he patiently waited for shedletsky to finish his words, he was extremely red on the cheeks.

"I.. I guess.. I wanted..to.. ehm... ask.." shedletsky was red, not just a little red.. full on red.

"If.. ehm.. are you.. Well.. perhaps.. interested.. if I.. theoretically.. ask.. you.. out?" Shedletsky had turned his head to look the other way as he spoke the last bit out.

007n7 glanced towards shedletsky, his face also red.
He then tapped shedletsky on the shoulder twice to make him look back at him, making shedletsky look back with an flustered uncertain face.

007n7 just smiled at shedletsky, his face equally as red as the others.

"I.. I would love to, but I need to figure some stuff out first.. if you could wait for me?" 007n7 spoke out his eyes guiltily looking away, he seemed sad but still determined.

Shedletsky himself while having heard the "wait for me" was absolutely over the moon.
Sure he would need to wait but it did mean 007n7 shared some of his own feelings no?

"Wait.? Yeah! Yeah of course I can wait! Gosh I'll wait for you my whole life if you need me too!!"

007n7 looked surprised as shedletsky said that, his face now completely red as he started to giggle slightly.
Shedletsky seeing him giggle started to chuckle himself as well.

"Thank you.." 007n7 spoke out after he had calmed down a bit, he petted shedletsky on his head before getting up and turning in for the night.

Shedletsky just sat on the couch, his wings absolutely futtering with excitement, telamon basically throwing an party in their mind as the situation just dawned upon him.

He said yes..

Holy damn he had said yes!!

He needed a breather, he needed to.. take a walk, yes, yes! A walk sounded nice!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Walking through the forest surround the house felt nice, the woods having a nice breeze rushing past the leaves of the tall trees, shedletsky with his mind filled with excitement just walked the path marked out,

Aimlessly walking to calm down, his wings practically flapping now.

As he continued to walk he felt something creep up on him, a thought.
"What did he need to figure out?" "Was it his feelings?" "Could we help?" Those thoughts just kept floating through their mind collectively. Not leaving either telamon or shedletsky alone.

Whilst telamon urgently wanted to pry into 007n7s business shedletsky would rather wait for the other to come to them for help, if he where to be honest of course was he curious, but he also knew that sometimes people would rather have the option to ask for help instead of it being forced upon them.

On top of that, it had taken him what? About two months to even get to this point? If he where to be pushy now he'd ruin all the progress he had made! No way! Not a chance!

Telamon just sighed in their mind as he felt he lost this 'battle',
Their walk took them an hour before they turned back into the house,

They had calmed down and made the collective decision to not push 007n7 for any answers.

007n7 himself had already gone to sleep, the dreams he had where not extremely pleasant but they weren't exactly nightmares either..

As shedletsky entered the bedroom he decided to just get ready and turn in as well,
As he dipped into his side of the bed he noticed the uncomfortable look on 007n7's face..

"Why do you look like that when dreaming?.. what have you seen." Shedletsky softly muttered as he brought his hand to cup 007n7s face.

007n7 while still dreaming leaned into the touch, a tear rolling down his cheek.

Shedletsky seeing it decided to try and comfort 007n7 in his sleep, he brought 007n7 closer to himself and cradled him. His wings closing around the both of them as he continued to hug 007n7.

The other man didn't even stir, instead he fully melted into the embrace.

Shedletsky started to also pet 007n7s hair in an gentle motion, making soft gushing noises, something he'd seen 007n7 do when 1x had an nightmare.

It worked as the other man finally calmed down and continued to softly sleep again.
Shedletsky tried to remove himself from their embrace but fell asleep into the embrace instead.

Both men slept peacefully that night, shedletsky's wings protectively covering the both of them.
Feelings had been talked about, and plans for the future finally had their doors opened..

Now the question was..

Would such peace grant them the time, or would chaos take its turn?
.....
....
..
I think we all know the answer to that.
As the color of chaos is often an shade of purple.

Chapter 15

Summary:

Apologies my children, anyhow have a double post :3

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

He ran, he was running, almost out of breath, he turned into random corridors and hallways, out.. OUT..

HE

NEEDED

TO

GET

OUT.

Earlier that day builder man had gotten another mission, some hacker had been throwing a fit so builder man had been sent to take the guy in.

As he arrived at the location it had been bare, nothing left, no-one to be seen even.. weird..
It felt off, as he walked around trying to spot anyone.

Nothing.. absolutely nothing..

But a single mask, it laid there, just discarded on the ground..

It's shape..seemed.. familiar.. builder man could swear that he'd seen such a thing before..

An forgotten memory.. this all.. felt hauntingly familiar.. like an memory that wasn't his own.. not fully.

The mask was a smile but he could almost see the one wearing it frown, a lie, a facade.. something that wasn't true.. like an lie veiled in the thinnest of see through silk.

Wrong.

This was wrong.

He wasn't alone, he could feel their breath on his neck.. this had been a trap, and he so foolishly fell for it..
Escape. He needed to escape, to run, he needed to Run.

The corridors he took where weird, he didn't remember being inside a house.. he could've sworn he was outside.
This place messed with his mind, it was still messing with his mind.

He heard people talk, he heard giggles and he heard something or someone chase him down.

He wasn't sure how to escape from here.. this, it felt like an trap designed for him in specific.
It was endless.

Panic, fear, anger, but most of all uncertainty and regret filled builder man to the brim.

Despair.

He tripped and that was his doom, his fate now to the hands of the man who captured him.

He struggled to no avail, nothing he did helped him out now.. the man he was captured by looked at him with the same mask builder man had found.

He was dragged into an room filled by people with the same masks.
He felt unsafe, he felt fear.

He regretted not doing things, but most of all he no longer struggled against the fate that was now set in stone for him.

Someone had closed in distance to builder man and had injected him with something.. it made him feel.. woozy.. no longer in control of his own body..

Fear

Regret

And most of all despair.

He felt like his soul was thrown out of the binds called his body, he floated outside it.. forced to bear witness to the birth, the birth of someone he couldn't name.

Something that despite his low knowledge over it scared him.

Someone who looked back at him like he could see him.

Someone who bore the same mask as the others at that table but held an crown.

The voidstar..

Noli was reborn.. and the ground shook with fear..
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Soon builder man learned that he had indeed been thrown out of his own body, discarded like an candy wrapper.

He saw, heard and learnt a lot.. the family, or the ones who where responsible for this where going by the name 'the Cole family'.

The man, deity or whatever it was didn't do much, he seemed to just walk around the manor everyday,
The family seemed to either cower or shower him with adoration whenever he'd pass one of them..

Builder man didn't know what to think of the man.

Soon the almost ritualistic pattern was suddenly broken, as the man had done something out of the norm..

He seemed to be checking screens, something that, while looking like just everyday happenings of this world, when inspected closer by builder man seemed to play the same scene but with adjustments..

It was like looking at the same scene but it was from different time lines..

The scene that played was the same..
The man possessing builder man's body currently holding the chin of 007n7.

Only.. 007n7's reaction was different each time..

It felt... uncomfortable..

Builder man was sure it meant something.. he wasn't sure what it meant, but it did mean something.

He looked back at the man behind him, he seemed to stare at 007n7 with longing.?
Or no.. it was different.. it looked like possession, mixed with curiosity.. and.. adoration?

Builder man wasn't sure of a lot of things, but he was insanely sure that letting this man close to 007n7 was an bad idea.

It's just.. that with builder man being in this state it meant he'd have to find a way to contact telamon or shedletsky through... annoying ways..

But to protect the family he saw, builder man found it to be worth it..
So he with the power he had left, sent out an message to telamon and shedletsky.. and he started to dissappear.
Slowly but surely builder man faded out from existence.

An screen back in the admin headquarters blacked out, and the witnesses knew.

Another had passed.. an regrettable loss..

The building filled with unusual silence, an silence for the dead..
And a signal of respect.

He will not be forgotten.. they shall remember him.

May builder man rest, and may his soul safely be guided onwards to the afterlife.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Notes:

A moment of silence for the sacrifice builder man has made for the safety of shedletsky/telamon and 007n7's family

Chapter 16

Summary:

A short chapter, but needed. Also after this it's going back to some fluff from 007n7 and shedletsky/telamon ^^

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Feel, hear, see..

Noli took his first breath followed shortly by his second.
Alive.. he is alive, it had worked.

His first instinct was to look around him, he was surrounded by the people he trusted. Good.
That was correct, now what else?
Was his star here?... no... no its not.. where is it?

It was nowhere, it hadn't come to greet him like usual.. noli felt like he'd forgotten something..
Something important..

It would have to come later, maybe it was shy to greet him immediately. He'd be patient..
Let it come to him at its own pace..

Just it didn't, it hadn't come to him at all.. so eventually noli came to reminisce its existence..

His star,

His property.

007n7...

Noli loved it, noli cherished it... had it been stolen? His star, his devotee.
The man who held such devotion in his eyes for his family..

Such devotion noli wanted it for himself.. that determination, its love.
Noli didn't just want it, no... it was a need.. he needed it.

It had taken him so long to obtain it, to obtain that man, all he had needed was leverage.. it had worked.. it had been his, his to own, his to hold by his side..

And soon it had faded.. what had caused it?..

Right.

The leverage.. that thing.. it had taken his property. Noli had been betrayed by his star..
His star had killed him, noli started to smile, his star killed Him! The smile soon turned into laughter,

As noli looked back at the flickering screen holding the face of His beloved star noli knew, he'd get it back, it would come to him.. all in time.

Noli traced 007n7's face with his fingers.

"mY sT4r, 1ll c0m3 f0r y0u s0oN" noli whispered to the screen, as if even through the screen 007n7 would be able to hear him..

His star, his beautiful star, its eyes filled with determination and devotion, never fully aimed at noli but even the little bit that was had been enough for noli.. or that's what he told himself, in actuality it had never been enough..

Jealousy drove them apart.. nothing more noli told himself..

He'd just need to show it! Yes! He'd need to show his own devotion to it.
It would understand and forgive like it had done for its spawn! All noli needed to do was apologise.

And then it would return to his embrace, 007n7 would allow noli his one wish, utter devotion towards noli.

"M1n3" noli muttered continuing to trace 007n7's face on the screen.

Noli his obsession could never be fully described, his mindset difficult to understand, but one thing was certain.
That man held no love for 007n7, what he felt was utter obsession with his idea of both love and devotion.

He is unredeemable. Would a child be thrown in between him and his goal he wouldn't hesitate to erase it from existence, he may seem to adore 007n7 but he doesn't.

He cannot feel love.

He sees 007n7 as his property and nothing more, not a plaything exactly but an treasured stuffed animal something he could carefully play with.

Noli is to be hated. Not empathised with, as that man holds no empathy towards others.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Notes:

Understand that I do not condone anyone holding sympathy or empathy for noli, he will in short be a absolute ass.

Chapter 17

Summary:

So ehm... anyone want to go back to some more fluff?
(Added a throw back to chapter 13 ;] )

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It had been night, telamon shot up in what seemed to be a dream, he felt next to him only to be surprised when seeing 007n7 also lying there.. he looked ethereal laying on the grass under the moonlight,

A shared dream..? That usually didn't happen to them, weird..

As 007n7 got up as well a figure closed in on them both., it was hard to make out until it stood practically face to face with them both.

"..builder man.?" 007n7 cautiously spoke out, his posture practically radiating nervousness.

The figure, or rather an beaten up version of what surely was builder man, nodded his posture spoke of one with much to tell but too little time..

"My friend, what happened?" Telamon asked with an serious tone, his gaze penetrative as he looked at builder man.

"..a lot.. I'm here to warn you." Builder man spoke, clearly directed towards telamon., but also a bit towards 007n7, who he looked at with an amount of pity that was scaring 007n7 to his core.

"He's after you both, I cannot say much but you need to listen to me." Builderman spoke with haste, his form in the dream slowly disappearing by the second,

"He wants something, I don't know what exactly but whatever you do don't leave each others side.." builder man had grabbed telamons arms, and with the strength he had left he shook telamon.

007n7 looked panicked, afraid for the fate of his sons, afraid of what's to come, afraid of who he thinks is coming.. of who he deep down knew.. was coming.

"Who? Who are you talking about? What's going on??" Telamon spoke out, his voice sounding increasingly more concerned the longer the dream went on..

Builder man said nothing.. he couldn't say anything, and with the last bits of his power left showed 007n7 and telamon something.. someone..

007n7 looked with an visible terror, he'd been right.. it had been him, he was correct to worry..

Noli was back..

And 007n7 felt anger start to bubble under his skin as well as fear.
Noli was back.

Telamon looked at 007n7 with confusion clearly written on his face, he had not a single clue on who this man was and why they where panicking about the guy.. sure the man looked disturbing but it didn't seem too serious....

Wait..
What was that?
Telamon looked closer to the image builder man left behind for them..

Was this guy... caressing an picture.. of 007n7?... what the absolute fuck.
Telamon was seething, the audacity of this random man! How dare he!! He quickly looked at 007n7, who was staring at the picture with what seemed to be both disgust and anger.

Okay, so it's definitely one sided Shedletsky mused in their mind, telamon silently agreed, it was a little bit of an relief but he still didn't understand why builder man warned them about the guy..

He frankly looked weak to telamon, Shedletsky pointed out that they shouldn't be judging a book by its cover.
Before bringing up the point they should probably ask 007n7 what was up with the guy, who he was and if the man was comfortable share the story between them both.

Telamon mused a bit before awkwardly shuffling to stand besides 007n7, his wings sort of hugging them both as he tried to soothe 007n7 out of his anger.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

007n7 snapped out of his head soon finding himself in telamons embrace, as he breathed in and out he returned the hug, he felt like either crying or destroying something.

He didn't want to see that man again, he didn't want to think about him again. He just wanted to be left alone.. but no. No! He just couldn't have anything nice, never!

His kids, the silly guy infront of him... builder man, he'd gotten them all in danger.. again..

This hunt would never cease he once heard noli say.

He had found it difficult back then to understand what noli meant by it, but by the gods did he understand now..
Noli had returned.. just like he did, just like his son.. was it revenge he wanted? What did he want from him?

007n7 had stayed in telamons embrace for a while now, his eyes on the verge of crying.. but he refused to, that man deserved none of his tears.

Soon telamon decided to ask, "could you.. tell me what is going on.. with him and..you?" his hands still softly drawing comforting patterns in 007n7's back, the other man practically going slack in telamons embrace.

007n7 soon separated a bit from telamon, preparing to say something before noticing they where waking up.

"How about we talk about it when we're both awake?" He softly muttered, he seemed a bit reluctant but still comfortable with talking about it.
Telamon just smiled before continuing to hug the other until the both woke up,

Once awake they both opened their eyes to see the other looking straight back at them, instead of shock they both started to laugh a bit at the irony before getting up, the talk could wait until they've gotten themselves ready.

"That guy is called noli." 007n7 started, telamons attention quickly going straight to him.

"He is an cult leader of sorts and an absolute lunatic, on top of it all he seems to have taken a liking to me.."

The face 007n7 pulled when saying the last few words couldn't be described as just disgust, no it was absolute horrid loathing, 007n7 looked like he wanted to puke at the idea alone.

It made telamon snort a bit before walking towards 007n7, he gave him another hug, this time from behind.

007n7 just gratefully smiled patting telamon on the arm before continuing his story,
"I've met him before, but to tell that story I'll need you to wait until I'm ready.."

Telamon just hummed before nuzzling into the crook of 007n7s neck, making 007n7 giggle at the tickling feeling of telamon's hair. "I can wait.." he softly muttered to 007n7.

Honestly 007n7 felt blessed to have met this man and his insane amount of patience for him.
He also softly griefed the loss of builder man..

007n7 found it difficult to admit but he had started to see the man as an dear friend..

As 007n7 closed his eyes he softly muttered out,
"How nice as this is, we should start breakfast, the boys should be awake soon.."

To which telamon just softly grumbled, tightening his hug a bit before reluctantly letting go.

Chapter 18

Summary:

Tehe (author is sorry) (author prays none of you will hate me for this) (atleast they kissed?)

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It's fine, everything was fine.
007n7 kept chanting in his mind, it had been a couple days after builder man came to them in their dream..
And sure there had still been no sign of noli, but that didn't mean 007n7 wasn't feeling anxious.

He had been slowly preparing for noli, trying to make sure he'd keep everyone safe, he was debating on teaching 1x how to handle a sword but he was also scared of the idea off forcing the kid to do anything, he didn't want to be pushy but he also wanted him to be able to defend himself..

He stood in the kitchen silently panicking over everything that was to come, when shedletsky came and stood right behind him, he hadn't noticed the man, until he walked backwards into the other.

Making himself jump and without thinking throwing shedletsky over his shoulder onto the ground..

Shedletsky while lying on the ground blinked up at 007n7 with an shocked lovestruck face, absolutely gobsmacked at the move 007n7 had just pulled on him.

007n7 took a minute to fully grasp what had happened before immediately saying sorry for like twenty times..

"Oh god, shed i am so sorry, are you okay? Are you hurt? Can you stand?" 007n7 rambled while shedletsky was still just staring at him from his spot on the ground.

"...wow" was all shedletsky said while still looking up at 007n7, infatuation would now officially be an understatement when describing the love he held for the man before him.. God dammit.. he was absolutely doomed.. his wings where messy and fluttering behind him as he tried to get up.

Tried, because 007n7 immediately started to check up on him at shedletsky's level: the floor.

Shedletsky loved the man alot, okay he was absolutely in love with him but sometimes the guy would worry a bit too much..

"I don't have a scratch, promise." Shedletsky told 007n7 who just sighed and laid his head into the crook of shedletsky's neck, groaning a bit from embarrassment.

"I didn't mean too..." 007n7 mumbled from shedletsky's neck, the man just chuckled and petted 007n7's head.

"I know, but you have to relax a bit." The sentence alone made 007n7 groan again..

They stayed there on the ground hugging each other for a while, comforting each other by embrace, it was calming, safe.

The type of embrace neither of them had dreamed of ever getting, they hadn't envisioned such comfort for themselves before, only ever for others. 007n7 wanted to keep this, he wanted to stay like this, live like this.
Together.

Just him, his kids and this silly man, nothing else.. he didn't need anyone or anything else.
But before he could get this, he needed to get rid of someone, to make sure it will never hurt his family again.

The thought of asking for help never crossed 007n7, no instead he had been silently planning something.. he'd just hope this silly man wouldn't come after him, he might be able to protect himself but 007n7 rather he'd stay with the kids.., just for 007n7's peace of mind, then he'd be sure someone he trusted was with them.

007n7 had been muttering many apologies towards shedletsky in his mind as they sat there on the ground..
He'd put his plan into action the first thing the following morning so he'll make sure to spend his time well with everyone today..

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

The day had nerved shedletsky.. he felt something off about the way 007n7 was moving about, the way he spoke and the way he handled stuff,

Something was happening and 007n7 was keeping him in the dark of it all, but despite his instincts (and telamon) screaming at him he ignored it.. he kept on telling himself and telamon that it would be fine, that 007n7 would come to them on his own..

Still... something felt, dangerously different..

Like 007n7 was going somewhere, but no.. no.. he wouldn't.. right?.. shedletsky started to doubt himself, so to ignore the feelings bubbling in both his mind and chest he decided to mostly distract himself, he played with 1x and c00lkid, he also read a book.

He tried to put those thoughts away but they still crept up on him as he went through the day..

His wings where practically screaming at him, puffed up and ruffled.. his hair was also messy as he tried to take a short nap on the couch..

C00lkid and 1x where using him as an sort of monkey bar, swinging from his legs and wings..
007n7 was in the kitchen looking at them, he for once that day looked calmer, less fidgety, it gave much more of a calm feeling.

Though the calm didn't stay for long, as 007n7 had put the kids to bed shedletsky approached him, he seemed concerned.. anxious, fidgety as well.

"Are you, hiding something from me 007n7?" Shedletsky softly asked, he seemed to want to grab onto 007n7's arm for leverage but decided not to, 007n7 himself just softly sighed..

"I... want to ask you not to worry to much about it." 007n7 softly answered back, shedletsky looked panicked, as he finally softly grabbed 007n7 by the arm.

"Your planning to do something dangerous.. aren't you?" His eyes practically both begging for it not to be true and for 007n7 not to do what he was going to.

"...I'm sorry but I cannot." 007n7 sadly smiled back at shedletsky, who in turn looked devastated..

"..why?." He asked in a broken voice, it broke 007n7's heart a little as he softy held shedletsky's face, cooing at him.

"I have to, for the both of us.. no for all of us." 007n7 softly smiled at shedletsky with both adoration and love, if not for the current conversation shedletsky would've returned the look.

007n7 continued to smile at shedletsky, before softly kissing him on his cheek, surprising shedletsky.. alot.. he looked surprised at 007n7 who just smiled at him still holding his cheek with one hand.

"You... that... I.. " shedletsky mumbled, he was at a loss for words, his face turning red.

Soon he got the courage himself to return a kiss, this time surprising 007n7 making him turn red.
They both looked at each other a bit before closing in and kissing each other..

It was antagonisingly sweet, it was soft.. but still a little bitter.
it felt like an goodbye to shedletsky, who started to grab onto 007n7's waist in a silent beg for him to stay.

yet it felt like a promise to 007n7, who had started to softly Stroke shedletsky's hair in an motion of comfort..

They laid together in their bed in an soft but bitter embrace, 007n7 fell asleep as shedletsky tried to trap and contain him inside the safety of his wings.. hoping that it would stop him, that it would stop whatever 007n7 was planning..

It was to no avail, the next morning came and telamon awoke alone, shedletksy weeping for them both.
A note was left behind,

"I'll be quick, take care of them while I handle this will you? Dont worry, and i love you."

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Chapter 19

Summary:

Double post? Me? Haha, yes.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Telamon clutched the note in his hand, he was seething...
He.. left..?... just left? After all of that he had decided to leave?!, telamon saw red, he was angry.. he felt betrayed..
Shedletsky argued in his mind that 007n7 be back but telamon wanted to hear none of it.

The fact that 007n7 left was enough of a statement, it didn't matter what business he was doing.

Telamon got up and entered the living room just to see another note,

"I prepared enough food to last all of you for an week, I hope I'll be back by then" a week? Telamons anger calmed a bit, as he took the food out of the fridge he heard someone come down the stairs.

"Wh3r3 1s d4d?" 1x spoke out, his voice sounding tired and confused.
....
....
...
..
.
The silence that filled the room said enough..
"Th1s 1snt fu2n7... wh3r3 1s m7 d4d." 1x said this time more firm.

Telamon still didn't answer him, making 1x panic.. "m7 d4d, t3lam0n wh3r3 1s m7 d4d?!"

"T3ll m3!! Wh3r3 1s h3?!" 1x yelled, he was on the verge of an breakdown, tears already forming in his eyes..

"M7 D4D!" 1x screamed, the loud noise startling telamon who continued to stand there and c00lkid who awoke from his sleep... the house now also filling with crying, from both 1x and c00lkid..

Telamon just stood there.. he didn't know what to do..

God's...

007n7 what should he do?...
Soon shedletsky switched with telamon, successfully calming both boys down before spending the rest of the day with them..

The house usually filled with laughter turned sour and somber, shedletsky tried his best to still make it fun but he had no clue what he was doing, in short it was an mess..

He missed 007n7, they all did.. telamon wanted to go after him but shedletsky argued they couldn't leave the kids behind, and so they reluctantly stayed in that house.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

007n7 had been walking, tracking down noli, if he knew him well enough he should be at the same place as he had been before.. that god forsaken mansion..

The closer he got the more he felt eyes on him... perfect.

As he approached the big front door it suddenly opened, in the door way he stood.. noli..
He slowly turned his head before speaking out,

"4h, M7 d3Ar3sT 6tAR, 1'vE b3En s0 w0Rr1eD! Wh7 d0n'T y0u C0m3 1n? LEt'S g3t Y0u h0m3 c0mf0Rt4bLy." His smile reaching his eyes in an unsettling way.. it send shivers down 007n7's spine..

Instead of letting him answer noli just dragged him inside, though he more seemed to man handle him then actually dragging him.. his hand gripping 007n7's wrist tightly, it started to hurt..
After entering a room noli harshly threw him inside it, making 007n7 stumble inside a bit before landing with his knees on a plush carpet.

Noli approached him with what seemed to be shackles... how.. convenient..

He was shackled to the bed inside the room, noli soon turned to him with another unsettling smile.

"1 H0p3 tH1s W1Ll t34Ch m7 St4R T0 n0T 3Sc4P3" noli rasped out, he left 007n7 behind in the room, going to do something else..

As 007n7 sat there he finally grinned, his plan had successfully worked, all he now needed was patience..
It wasn't an difficult plan, just an small act of revenge before killing noli off.

007n7 didn't mean to brag but after spending such an long amount of time with noli his last life he learned how to get him, he knew exactly how to emotionally hurt him.. the man had longed for any emotion, reaction from 007n7 towards him,

So what would happen if 007n7 suddenly only felt indifferent towards noli? How would that arrogant bastard react if 007n7 would push him aside without a thought? Without a glance even?..

It would break noli, it would make him go insane, it would be revenge.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

It had been a single day since 007n7 left and honestly? Shedletsky almost couldn't handle it anymore,

Sure the crying had stopped but 1x had locked himself inside his room and wouldn't come out to eat, and c00lkid while not completely understanding the situation still reacted..

Shedletsky hadn't been able to sleep at all because c00lkid had begun getting nightmares,

The silence that filled the house was driving shedletsky insane, he missed 007n7, he missed his presence.

...
...
...
...
...
The day had been spend with silence, grief and sadness,
It was like there wasn't anything to think about, nothing else to feel, nothing to talk about,

The source of usual conversation wasnt there.. neither was the comforting presence that brought them together usually.. torture, it felt like actual torture..
Shedletsky sighed as he left 1x's food by his locked door, softly nocking on it, hopefully the kid would eat soon..

Because shedletsky couldn't handle this as well..

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Noli was a wreck, an absolute wreck..

He was begging, grovelling, practically clawing at 007n7's feet..
The man refused to look at him, it refused to acknowledge noli's presence..
No matter what noli had tried his star continued to look past him, not a single bit showing he saw him.

Whenever noli thought it looked at him it was looking at something past him, none of the emotions it had showed where directed towards him... hell he'd even take pity as long as it looked at him.. but no..

It just looked behind him, it didn't look at him... never at him..
Torture.. it was torturing him, yet it didn't even enjoy it, it was just indifferent towards it..

Suddenly it spoke out, noli shot up with relief, and his eyes filled with hope.. hope that it finally looked at him.

"I pity that you work for this sad man.." it had spoke out to an attendant behind it..

Why.
Why.
Why.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.whyWhy.why.why.why.why.why.why.why.why.why.why.why.why.why.why.why.why

Why.

Why not him, why did it direct its attention its emotions towards anything but him..

Noli looked at the attendant with both fury and jealousy.. he lunged at the attendant and killed him on the spot.
He dropped the body still staring at it with fury..

he kicked the body, he kept attacking it.. until it became just a puddle of blood.

He turned back towards 007n7 before speaking out, his voice dripping with tears, quivering..

"4m 1 N0T w0RtH7 t0 Y0U?"

The silence that followed was supposed to say enough.. an unspoken 'yes' floated between them, but not reaching noli, he wouldn't acknowledge it, he never did, he never heard what he didn't want to hear.

So the silence just continued, neither noli nor 007n7 talking, until noli finally left the room.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Telamon awoke in the middle of the night by the sounds of creaking stairs, he quickly got up and went outside his room just in time to see 1x putting on his shoes,

A backpack settled on his back as he turned towards the door, reaching for the handle before being stopped by telamon speaking out.

"Where do you think your going?" Telamons voice wasn't angry.. but 1x refused to turn around.

"1m g01ng t0 g3t d4d b4ck." 1x softly muttered, his voice quivering

Telamon had expected the answer, he knew the boy would do this, he just didn't expect for it to happen this early.

"Your not going alone." Telamon decided. Making 1x quickly turn towards him, the boys face was running with tears, he looked wrecked.

Telamon sighed before moving closer to the boy, he crouched to his level before giving him a hug.
1x broke, he started bawling and grabbing onto telamon's shirt, telamon started to make hushing noises and patting the boys back, comforting him.

"If your determined to find your dad, let's go find him together okay?" Telamon whispered to 1x, who while crying started to eagerly nod his head.

Telamon with an determined nod lifted 1x up before going to grab both the baby sling and c00lkid.
Very fun of 007n7 to decide to leave and come back but it was enough. It was time for him to come home.

And besides,
telamon needed an flight session anyways.. better to make the most of it.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Chapter 20

Summary:

So just for yalls peace of mind,

no noli didn't r#pe 007n7, he only hugged him, but still hugging without consent isn't right. Its still an violation of boundaries and should be taken seriously.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Telamon had been flying with both boys for a while, c00lkid strapped to his chest and 1x in his arms,

1x looked up at him..

"D0 y0u kn0w wh3r3 d4d 1s?" He sounded hopeful while holding onto telamon like his life depended on it.

"..not exactly.. I do know how to find him, we just need to go somewhere first." Telamon responded, his wings carrying them all with an fast speed..

While flying 1x decided to look around, he hadn't noticed before but their home was really separated from society..
Weird... why would that be?.. he'd have to ask his dad as soon as they find him.

"Wh3r3 4r3 w3 3x4ctl7 g01ng?" 1x decided to ask after a while of just straight up silence while flying..

"Admin headquarters, its where they monitor both hackers and disruptive code in robloxia." Telamon responded, he was focused on flying so his answers where to be considered... professional level..

1x understood and looked around to try and spot the building they where to be headed towards..

Soon an giant building entered 1x's vision, it was clearly the headquarters.. 1x thought telamon would enter from the doors below but instead the man had flown them towards the roof.

As soon as they landed telamon practically burted through the roof doors and entered an random office, he carefully put 1x down before bolting towards the computer inside of the tiny office room.

As 1x crept closer to understand what the man was doing, he saw telamons wings twitch ever so often, nervous..

The older man was nervous..

1x had never seen the other nervous, not even in his last life.. though he also hadn't met shedletsky his last life..

Shaking the thoughts off of him he stood next to telamon to see what he was doing,

Telamon was looking for the location of 007n7's ankle monitor, from what he remembered the other man wasn't capable of taking it off, it was only able to be removed by either builder man or telamon himself..

And neither had taken if off which meant 007n7's location would be traceable..

As soon as telamon found the location he stood up.. he needed to write it down somewhere..
While he was searching for a pen and something to write on 1x handed him both things,

"Thanks bud, needed this." Telamon mumbled as he quickly wrote the address down.

1x just silently watched as telamon wrote the address before letting himself be picked up again,
"4r3 w3 g01ng n0w?" 1x pressed, he had no patience left, he really just wanted to find his dad again.

"Just grabbing one more thing, just to be sure" telamon responded, he quickly went to his own office and grabbed his admin sword, something he'd left in his office because he thought that 'one babysitting mission won't need it'... how wrong he was.

As he fastened the sword to his waist he once again bolted to the roof to take off again.

007n7, you better be alive and well once I get there.
Telamon practically screamed in his mind, shedletsky for once agreeing with it.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

007n7 was having what he decided was not so fun of a time,
Sure noli hadn't actually forced him to do anything... yet.. but he sure seemed to get close to the edge of doing something along those lines,

And 007n7 wanted to murder him, oh so bad.. but.. he hesitated.. something in his mind yelled at him whenever he came close to doing so, something telling him he shouldn't murder.. something yelling he shouldn't become a murderer..

He didn't want to listen to it, but it was... pushy, difficult not to listen to it..

His hands shook whenever he held the knife he brought, his stance weak, his heart beating, his blood pulsing with hesitation..not out of pity for noli but out of uncertainty of his own actions..

Noli was coming too close yet he couldn't do anything, he couldn't bring himself to do so.. he had no justification..

He had grown weak.. and he feared that fact.. he feared his weakness.. he feared himself.

As he looked down at his own hands he wondered..

He'd done it before..

He'd killed him before..

What was so different about this time? What was stopping him? What was halting him to do what he knew was right..

Was it himself?

Was he sabotaging himself...?

noli had crept into his space again... 007n7 became hypersensitive to the way noli's hand wrapped around his wrist... the way noli caressed his hand.. the way noli came close to his ear.. the way he was caressing his hair...

The way he had done something that wasn't welcome.. the way he'd begun to hug 007n7 without his consent..

Yet 007n7 found a blockage, noli had only done it to himself, not to his family.. it wasn't enough reason to kill him..
He couldn't kill him..

His hands trembled... he couldn't do it... he couldn't do what needed to be done..

Weak..

He was too weak..

007n7's mind started to turn blank as noli continued hugging him, he couldn't return the hug from that man, nor could he push the other away... he could only stand there and take it..

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Chapter 21

Summary:

The next chapters might be a little shorter because I'm drawing near to the end :']

(Also ignore how I might finish this fic today, it would depend on how motivated I am for writing :>)

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Noli was about to do something else when he was disrupted, someone needed something from him, something important enough for them to disturb noli..

007n7 shot out of his head space and twitched, noli grumbled before exiting the room to see what was needed of him..

As soon as noli left the room 007n7 sunk to the ground, his hands trembling and his mind shaken..

He looked up before looking down at his ankle... the shackle attached to his ankle seemed.. alot more serious then it had seemed yesterday..

Reality doomed upon 007n7 as he realised what he'd done, he'd made the same mistake again.. he had left his precious ones for their safety only to bring them in more danger... he was stupid... oh so fucking stupid..
He covered his face as he let reality wash over him.

Noli once more entered the room... this time looking disheveled and.. seething..

"Wh0 St0L3 y0U...." his voice glitching more then usual..

"WH0..? Wh0 St0l3 70u fR0M m3?!" Noli yelled, no screeched at 007n7..

Silence... no answer..

"4nSw3R M3, G0D D4Mm1T!!"

Noli screamed in the room, the air turning sour.. yet still no answer that graced him..
Noli stormed towards 007n7 and harshly grabbed his face, turning it towards him..

"L0Ok 4t m3!"

007n7 shut his eyes, deciding to not comply for once.

"70uR m1N3, s0 Wh0 sT0l3 m7 l0V3?!"

Noli harshly tugged on 007n7's face, desperately trying to get an answer from him.. it was to no avail as 007n7 still refused to answer him.

"W4s 1T tH4t sP4Wn 0f y0uRs?"

Still nothing..

"0r 1S 1t Th4T 4Dm1N h34D3d t0W4Rds 0Ur v3r7 l0C4T10N cuRr3Ntl7?"

That made 007n7 react, his eyes flew open.. shock evident from his face..
Noli smirked at the reaction he finally got before just as quickly sneering..

"1Ll k1Ll h1M." Noli spat out, jealousy dripping from his voice alone..
007n7's face turned into anger.. yet he still refused to speak.

Noli still holding onto 007n7's face chuckled.

"Th3R3 1T 1S... Th4T l0v3L7 3M0t10n4L l00k 1n 70Ur 3y3s.." He started to stroke 007n7s cheek with his thumb..

Noli smiled down at 007n7, clearly feeling like he'd won.
.. he soon did something unforgivable.. he kissed 007n7's forehead whispering at him.

"1lL g3T r1D 0F tH4t p3St m7 St4R."

As soon as noli left that room 007n7 felt the urge to either wash his forehead with bleach or kill himself...
He felt the need to cry.. he felt violated even if he wasn't sexually violated..

....
...
..
.
What was he thinking getting himself into this shit...
Whatever it had been he was dumb, stupid and incredibly naive..

He missed his boys and he missed telamon and shedletsky...
He was also angry with shedletsky and telamon for ignoring his obvious instructions..

007n7 was pretty sure he'd told the man to

'Watch over the kids.' Not to 'chase after me.'

...... unless the man was illiterate.. but honestly 007n7 very much doubted that..
007n7 hugged both his knees as he sat on the ground..

Just waiting for what was to come.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Chapter 22

Summary:

I Laugh as we get closer to the end (which will contain a special surprise for yall)

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As soon as noli had returned to the room, he bound both of 007n7's hands and taped his mouth,

007n7 was confused and panicked.. as the situation got even more chaotic, screams and what sounded like gunshots where fired further inside.. there was also the sounds of people scattering and running..

Noli had retreated into an corner, hidden away slightly from sight of anyone who'd walk inside the room.. 007n7 was bound and cowering in a corner, not out of fear but mostly out of confusion about the current situation..

There was yelling, a whole lot of yelling... and 007n7 almost shot up as he recognised telamons voice through the chaos... fuck..

fuck,

fuck!

That idiotic man!! What was he thinking?! 007n7 wanted to scream, to scream at noli and to scream at telamon for putting himself in such an dangerous situation..

Noli was looking at 007n7 with an smirk.. 007n7 could feel the situation Dawn upon him...

Noli planned this...

Noli was going to take another one precious to 007n7 away from him...

He was going to do it again..

007n7's face turned panicked but it only made nolis smile wider.. and wider and god, the man was enjoying every bit of agony 007n7 was currently experiencing..

007n7 screamed, or he tried to... he couldn't due to the tape on his mouth.. he wanted to scream but he couldn't...

He couldn't scream...

He couldn't..

He couldn't scream....

HE

COULDNT

SCREAM...

The tears fell before 007n7 could even fully register it.. the panic, fear in his eyes dripped with agony feeding the ego that noli had....

his emotions got the better of him as he tried to move..

tried so hard to protect..

but he couldn't..

he was bound to his spot..

forced to watch on.

Soon 007n7's eyes fell on telamon infront of the door.. the kids.. he'd brought the fucking kids....
007n7 trashed around, tried so hard to prevent telamon entering the room,

Tears still decorating his face, while he shook his head violently, trying to scream trying to say don't...
But nothing he did would be interpreted correctly..

Chapter 23

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Telamon seeing 007n7's face filled with tears didn't think before immediately trying to reach him,

he practically bolted as he reached 007n7,

just for him to be snatched away by noli...

"W3lL, w3Ll.. 1f 1T 1sNt th3 th31F?" noli spoke out, his face an unsettling grin as he spoke.. his head seemed to turn inhumanly...

"I am no thief.. you seem to be." Telamon remarked, his voice dripping with judgement.

"Y0u 4r3, y0u st0L3 wh4T 1s M1n3." Noli responded like it was an matter of fact.

His hand slowly wrapped around 007n7's neck, the movement immediately catching telamons eyes who turned to stare at noli with fury..

Noli just smiled as he tightened the hand around 007n7's neck, slowly straggling him..

Telamon tried to move forward just for noli to tighten his grip even more..
Telamon relented and stayed in place..his wings twitching behind him, clearly showing his agony..

"L0s3 tH3 sW0rD." Noli demanded, nodding to the sword attached to telamons hip.

Telamon hesitated before removing it from its holder and carefully placing it on the ground.

Noli smirked as he loosened his grip around 007n7's neck a bit, closing his face in on 007n7's.. taunting telamon..

"H0w 0B3D14Nt.. D0nT y0U 4gR33 m7 sT4r?" Noli softly spoke out to 007n7.. who tried to turn his face away.

1x was witnessing everything, he had sneaked behind noli a while ago and now was bearing witness to his father being forced upon by a stranger..

and 1x slowly was beginning to drip with anger, fury.. his last life those emotions fuelled him.. and this life was no different...

He quietly picked up telamons sword from the ground... all adults too busy with each other to actually pay attention to him..

1x softly and carefully crept behind the man holding his father hostage currently and slowly lifted the sword..

Step

Step

Step....

Stab......

It felt like it came out of nowhere... noli dropped 007n7 to the ground as he clutched his heart... a sword piercing out from his chest... blood dripping down soaking his shirt and the plush carpet he was standing on..

"D0nt 3v3r t0uch m7 d4d." 1x spat at noli who crumbled to the ground, screaming in agony..

The blood pooled everywhere as noli looked towards 007n7..
He didn't want to die alone... he didn't want to leave his star behind... he refused to..

But for once... refusal wasn't enough..
Telamon as if having read nolis mind kicked the man away from 007n7 and stabbed him again using the same sword...

Dead..noli had died.. he looked at 007n7 for his last moments thinking..

"C0Uld 1 3V3r B3 c0nS1d3rD w0rTh7?"

..... the room turned silent, it was over...
They had done it..

They could finally rest..

Chapter 24

Summary:

And so we end this fic in the best way I could :]

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The aftermath had been difficult to clean up and explain to the admins, telamon had in the end taken the blame for 1x, meaning he also decided to step down from being an admin..

Soon 007n7 and the rest of his little family returned to their home, as they all entered the house 007n7 quickly helped bring c00lkid and 1x to bed, finally turning to telamon who had been staring at him the moment they had returned..

Step..

Step...

Slap...

007n7 slapped telamon as he angrily snapped

"That's for bringing our kid in danger you buffoon."

Telamon just stood there and let 007n7 take out his anger on him, he honestly expected it.
But he was caught by surprise as 007n7 suddenly kissed him.

"And.. i guess that's for saving me." 007n7 muttered. "I am still angry though.."

Telamon shook his head fondly before kissing 007n7 everywhere, making the other man giggle a bit,
They would live their lives peacefully from then on, happily with the four of them, and after 2 years they got married..
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Noli had been forced to watch it all... no matter how much he banged onto or destroyed screen after screen he would be forced to watch his star be happy with anyone but him...

Torture he was being tortured,

A voice rang out...

"It's what you deserve after all.."

Him..

The one trapping him in an endless limbo..
An God in his own right..

"They are finally happy, good to see my advice paid off finally."

Noli sneered at the being who entered his limbo.

"Wh7 4r3 7ou h3r3?" Noli spat out.

"To bear witness to my friends getting married ofcourse, oh and to tell you there are no second chances for you anymore."

Builder man smiled before walking off, soon on one of the screens builder man walked up to the new married couple and gave them a hug.
...

Truly a happy ending in the end.

For everyone who deserved one that is.. :]
~The end.~
