Chapter 1: Stargazing and making a flower crown
Summary:
Days pull you up just like a daffodil
Uprooted from its garden
They'll tell you what you owe, but know even so
Rises the moonYou'll be visited by sleep
I promise you that soon the autumn comes
To steal away each dream you keep
Breathe, breathe, breathe

"D4D! D4D! C0ME 0N HURRY U₽!! Y0U PR0M1SE ME W3 GONN4 S3E THE ST4R!!"
An impertinent whine coming from a child who is waiting at the door, impatient as always for his dad, who seems to let out a nervous laugh, walking over to his son and putting him to wear a jacket.
"Now, c00lkidd, I know you're impatient to see the star, but please wear the jacket, I don't want you to catch a cold since we'll be walking."
007n7 let out a tired sigh, the man is tired, but how can he deny his kids always rambling about the star and how c00lkidd wanted to see the star more clearly outside.
He was glad that he got home early this time, he promised his kids that they would see the star and he had to fulfil it, he doesn't want c00lkidd disappointed and sad all day that his need to stargaze never comes true.
The man wanted his son to get the best view, even though he had sacrificed some of his savings to buy the telescope just to see his son's happiness.
He does anything for his kid's happiness, anything just to see that big smile on his face, and it always does the job to make the tiredness go.
"D4D! C0ME ON! I D0N.T W4NT T0 W4IT 4NY LONG3R!!"
C00lkidd whine, tugging into his dad's sleeves as the dad only just smiled, stepping outside before locking the door and holding the telescope closer just so 007n7 didn't accidentally drop them.
The child could only giggle and hum a sing-a-song while walking, the empty road and no sight of life were very calming for the former hacker.
This is the only moment he wished to stay forever, he doesn't have to worry with the judging eyes, whatever he goes out, simply to go to work or drop C00lkidd off at his school.
Seeing his son get all excited to finally stargaze and spend time with his dad is all that the poor kid needs.
It didn't take long for the two to arrive at their final destination, the open area with a small hill with a tree in the middle of it.
The green short grass almost sent a tempting comfort to lie down and close your eyes if the place seemed so comforting.
It took at least maybe couple hours for 007n7 to assembled the telescope even though c00lkidd getting more and more impatient since waiting is not the kid liking but he have to suck it because its not easy to putting each part of the telescope together and he see his dad struggling.
But when they're done, c00lkidd eyes brighten up and beam with unexplainable joy when they get to use it, and they can see the star!
It is so fun instead of just staring at the window, but what more fun is he gets to spend time with his dad! How jolly c00lkidd feel as he rambling about a star and what he knew.
Using his imagination to connect one star to the other and make an Imaginary picture.
007n7 listens to his son rambling nonstop, between using the telescope and having to stare at the man, wanting his dad to watch the star too.
At first, he refused, but C00lkidd had to force his dad to see the star, and after a couple of little arguments, the former hacker finally gave in, and his son just returned it with a victory laugh.
After that moment of bonding time and stargazing together, listening to his son ramble about stars and the picture he imagined inside his head.
The father sighed heavily as he was still wondering how his son still had so much energy, even when it's already 10 pm, his son should've gone to bed right now.
But did he tell his son it's time to get back home? No, he didn't. He let his kids have fun a little longer as the little one was delighted collecting flowers that he could find, which he found so beautiful.
When he came back with a handful of them, he tried to make crown flowers for his dad, but he didn't know how to make them, which made the child sad and almost cry.
In the panic, 007n7 quickly reassures his son that it is okay if he didn't know how to make them, and he'll help the child to make them.
To in return just make c00lkidd nod his head and they begin to make the flower crown, 007n7 have to show his son how to make each flower connected together, and once they finish, both were laughing happily with both now wearing flower crowns.
007n7 burger hat lay and rested beside him on the patch of soft grass, the little noob just stared at the two but it didn't get left behind since c00lkidd already placing the lily flower on its head as a flower hat.
Maybe not flower crown, but it's enough for the noob head to wear them as a hat just like his dad wearing that burger hat!
It's so fun!
The best night c00lkidd ever experienced, he got to see the star, his dad is here too, and now they made a flower crown!
Though he struggled first, Dad offered to help make them. Now that both of them enjoy each other's company, laughing as he sees his dad may look stupid with the flower crown, but if dad is happy, then so is C00lkidd happy too.
Now? He tried to add more flowers to his dad, sticking a random flower that he picked up earlier on, since he noticed that they still had some flowers left and got him an idea to decorate his dad's hair with flowers to make him look like a pretty princess! Heh...
Dad looked very content, his eyes closed as he hummed a lullaby song with the night wind that blew on them, and the rustle of the leaves on the tree sounded so calming and soothing.
This is the only night C00lkidd will never forget, and he wishes he could do this again with his dad.

There are parts that I'm just ki da gave up and too lazy to add some detail, like... the time skip is always part that I gave up, even though I want to add something and make the chapter longer, but my brain could not think of something 😭
Chapter 2: D4D, Y0U TH1NK W3 4LWAYS T0GETH3R?
Summary:
Do universes always exist? Do they even real?
Who knows, maybe the man hoped that in another world, he wished his son to have a good future.He may hope that they will always be together, but he can't exactly grasp that hope if it gonna be destroyed and crushed in front of his eyes.
Why can't he feel a little selfish, all that just for his son's happiness, he wants what's best for his son, and maybe in another world, c00lkidd are on better people's hands because he feels like he didn't deserve it all.
C00lkidd deserve better than himself since he was a hacker before, he wants his son to have the best life, yet it's hard for him to give that to his beloved child

Chapter Text
It feels calm, the moment that 007n7 would fight for and never trade them with anything at all, he got a brief moment to finally be with his son, but he always wished they could stay together.
"Alright kiddo, it's time to get home and get back to sleep, it's already past your bedtime."
He said as he heard a whine from the kid who was glaring at his dad, it was clear that he didn't want to get back home and wanted to stay longer with his dad since he wasn't done yet putting the flower.
"BUT D4DDDD.... T0MORR0W 1S SUND4Y R1GHT? 1 D0N.T H4VE SCHO0L!"
His son whined again, and the man could only let out a soft sigh, taking one of the flowers that C00lkidd had stuck on his hair with a chuckle. His son never wanted to get back to sleep, no matter what the next day was or how weak he was.
"Now, c00lkidd, even if tomorrow is Sunday, it doesn't always mean that I allowed you to sleep past bedtime, this is the only time because you wanted to see the star, and I make a promise for you."
It took longer than 007n7 had anticipated since convincing his son to do something is harder, but after a few hours of to-do, c00lkidd finally gave in.
Now that both are on their way to get back to their home, the telescope on 007n7 hand but the budget hat isn't sitting on his head like usual, he wants him to keep the flower crown and the rest of the flowers on and didn't want him to take it off.
Maybe after he puts C00lkidd back to bed, he'll take them off one by one.
Such a calming night walk with his son, the only sound on the empty street was definitely cricket somewhere and a few of the animals.
007n7 looked to his side as his son was wearing his burget hat, which makes c00lkidd look a little goofy because his hat is slightly bigger.
C00lkidd just happily humming and skipping beside his dad, holding a jar full of firefly. Where did the kid find the jar? Definitely 007n7 just use his c00lGUI to summon the jar and for c00lkidd to catch them.
The kid is happy because he caught at least 10 fireflies, and watching the pulse light inside makes the kid feel giddy to just open the jar and let them roam his room.
It is only the comfortable silence that fills in between the two before C00lkidd pulls back out of his little train of thought to stare at his dad, trying to read the man's tired expression yet calm one.
"P4PA?"
The child called out, which makes 007n7 turn his head to stare at his son, and confusion attaches itself to his face.
"Yes kiddo?"
"1 HAV3 4 QUEST10N,"
The kid asked which makes 007n7 ponder what his son thought, but he won't really assume things that might now be true since he wants to hear what's on C00lkidd's head.
Is he worried? Maybe a little bit since his son technically always asks a few concerning thoughts, but 007n7 can't always assume that his son wants to say, and he is not a person to judge because kids need to learn new things that they always discover and will always be curious about things.
But he definitely won't answer a question that isn't suitable for c00lkidd age.
"Sure, go ahead, kid"
"...D0 Y0U TH1NK TH4T WE.R3 ALW4YS T0GETH3R N0 M4TTER WH4T?"
Oh... he... he didn't expect that question, and the way c00lkidd gave him a hopeful look makes him feel more guilty because he knew that maybe in another world they never together.
That may be in another world, they didn't have the best relationship, or maybe in another world, that he may become a really terrible father, that maybe he didn't deserve c00lkidd at all.
But again, who he joking right now if in another world his son could be all happy without a worry of him being pick on by other kids, that there is a people that could do better as a parent for him, to gave him something that he never able to fulfil and always gave c00lkidd the attention that the kid seem wanted to be, just a time with his dad, just a time with someone who understands him and do better then him.
007n7 remember the time when he opened his front door, found a very fragile and vulnerable baby, abandoned, all alone, without anyone to take care of him.
Without a second thought, he took it, he took... him inside his home, never thought to stop to even question why a baby was being left in front of his porch (maybe he did question it, but he forgot).
He didn't know how to take care a child before, he never knew how to become a father, it was just so sudden, at first he was just messing around with some commands on his C00lGUI and laughing so freely watching TV that the news broadcast over the chaos he had left behind.
Now that he has a child, a baby, a son, on his arm, it confused him how to attend to their needs, c00lkidd... a name that he had temporarily given to his... son?... since he didn't know what to call him.
He struggles to figure out what babies need when they cry, and when he faces c00lkidd crying, wailing, it overwhelms him so bad to the point it feels like he wanted to just cry too.
But he have to remain calm, thinking a way to figuring out what baby need when they cry, he tried maybe to feeding it, but realize that he didn't have a baby food or neither baby formula, he looked up on the Internet what food that is suitable for baby needs when you don't have any necessary meal for baby, or basically a store-bought baby food.
He got a few recommendations, but is unsure if it is suitable for the infant to eat. He did some research again and again, but he can't make them, because he doesn't know the baby's current age.
2-month-old? 3-month-old? 4-month-old?
He doesn't know! Because these food recommendations show that it isn't suitable for a baby to eat, he has to assume c00lkidd still a newborn, and he doesn't want to make it any worse than it already is!
The wailing won't stop, and he doesn't know how to calm down the kid. Tried rocking them? Didn't work. Tried to say a calming word? Didn't work either, sing a lullaby? Not working.
007n7 just pray for Roblox that it's not changing the diaper because he doesn't want to do it, his last resort was bathing, the infant probably is cold since the parents left him outside.
A tired groan and heavy sigh coming from the man as he have to do his research again on how to shower a newborn baby, cradling the child on his arm and opening his C00lGUI to see the video how to it, step by step he follow.
He doesn't need soap or anything, he's doing it just to warm up the baby again so it doesn't hypothermia, and he doesn't want to hear any more crying.
The crying has stopped, good at least that he doesn't have to get into panic mode, he sees that the baby gander is male after giving it... Him... a warm shower and a warm blanket for the infant since he doesn't have a baby's needs.
Now that the baby is calm and didn't cry, 007n7 thought it would be best for him to make a quick trip to the store to buy baby materials and probably baby stuff... but he definitely can't leave this infant alone.... just... just a quick trip for c00lkidd anyway.
Holding the infant close, he opened his C00lgui before teleporting to his destination. The trip isn't so pleasant since you have a reputation as a hacker, and everyone knows what you've done.
That is basically what quick trip 007n7 facing, tired and annoyed since everyone is running away from him, even the fucking CASHIER running away too! He tried to be at least nice to pay for the stuff he bought for... his son... for Robloxia's sake!
He has to drag one of the cashiers who was very unfortunate and didn't make it out to escape, but the poor one was dumbfounded when the infamous hacker just went to the registers with baby stuff and... IS THAT A BABY?! DID THAT MAN KIDNAP THE POOR ONE FROM HIS PARENTS?!
That poor cashier will never knew that some bitch ass mother abandoning her baby in front of 007n7 porch and ding dong ditch on his door.
When 007n7 finished with his purchase and seemed satisfied enough, he opened his c00lgui, the cashier thought that the man was gonna wreck the store, and they already anticipated it. No. The chaos didn't happen, the man simply dipped out without causing a single casualty, but by the time 007n7 left, the admin had come to ban the man...
But... they come very fucking late like, what holding these admin back to be thus slow? Who hires them?
Back to 007n7 and c00lkidd, the man flopped down into the couch, visibly tired since it's gonna be a long day tonight to take care of the baby, at least he has some help on how to properly take care of them.
It's not that fun to suddenly become a single parent must've suck if you're not well prepared enough mentally and physically.
Staring into the infant who stared back at him with that wise beady eyes, it struck a heavy feeling on 007n7 chest, he couldn't bear to leave the child alone, without somebody who can give him the care he needed.
Yet, he can't exactly make it come true for this baby, because he isn't a suitable parent for this kid, not really a good person to begin with since he is a hacker technically but he don't want to bring this kid to his problems and potential make them get caught and throw into bandlands.
Maybe tomorrow he should gave this kid up for adoption, giving him to the other parents who will adopt him.
Pathetic.
That's the only thing that comes to his mind, that he can't give this kid up for adoption, maybe because he had grown attached to the child? That may be he needs a company in his lonely place? That may be he's afraid that this kid is gonna end up picked by terrible parents? Are these horrible people who will and are willing to abuse this kid? That c00lkidd gonna grow up in a very bad environment and people that he cannot trust and
A bad influence?
That... such a pathetic excuse he came up with. It's all simply because he feels the need to keep the child, a sudden, unexplainable sinking feeling he gets if he drops this kid at an adoption centre.
And now, the kid has grown up into a very happy kid, he remembered the time when c00lkidd made a mistake, he was always there to fix it, to tell his kid to try again this time.
He remembered when c00lkidd first enrolled into a school, many kids picked on him because his dad is a hacker, a former hacker since he quit being a hacker just to be a better influence for c00lkidd, so just the man hope that the kids didn't follow the bad apple he has become and be a good apple for everyone.
When 007n7 got called from the school, that c00lkidd has got himself into a fight with other children because they make fun of him and him have a hacker dad, he has to apologise to the principal and the kid's parents, they're mad, but can they even fight back? Definitely not when you face the hacker, and everyone here is understandably afraid that 007n7 is gonna use his hack and destroy everything.
The man has to bet that the parents will scold their children to never pick on the former hacker son since they never knew when he gonna use his hack on them.
Do people even realise he's already quit hacking? No, they weren't, because he didn't announce that he quit hacking and causing chaos in general, so no one knew that he had already quit.
But he knew that even though c00lkidd sometimes get himself into a fight with other kid and 007n7 have to come and apologise on c00lkidd behalf since his son refused to forgive the kids, the man have to pay the hospital bill... which isn't cheap but whatever he tried to fix tue damage the parents seem to refuse... yeah you definitely don't want to take that stolen bux or a duplicate one and got themselves arrested.
Even though all this bux 100% real and not fake, since he works 4 different jobs just for him and his son to live.
Slowly but surely, c00lkidd get himself less and less into a fight with other kids, but the other children has avoided him which makes his kid sad, because all he wanted was just a friend to play with and it sadden 007n7 more because there isn't nothing much he can do to cheer the kids up.
It just feels like c00lkidd is a trapped bird inside a cage, unable to even fly so freely because other kids might bully him, pick on him, and worse, he got himself in trouble again by picking up a fight with other children.
007n7 wants his son to be happy, yet he is unable to do that. How can he make his son happy if he is unable to do that to himself, too? The only thing that made the man happy was exploiting, the thrill he felt when getting chased by the admin, but he can't do that... no. He can't show that bad apple to his son to taste, enough is enough, he doesn't want c00lkidd to follow his footsteps, he didn't want c00lkidd to get in trouble too, he already quit that bad habit just for his son alone.
He doesn't want his son to feel like a trapped bird, unable to move and see the world of fun, oh, how joyous his son looks when he first brings him to the playground or even at the park.
He knew he was just being overprotective of his son, but how could he help but stop feeling like it? He can't, he just wants to protect his son and shield him away from the truth, from the danger that lurks here. He knew he would eventually give in, that he'd finally have to tell the truth, which was probably hurtful and traumatising for the kid, and that made him more and more afraid.
Dear Roblox, it makes him look so fucking pathetic, such a coward that he just want to keep the innocent child to stay forever with him, that he don't his kid to learn the danger but it makes the man guilty for gatekeeping them away from c00lkidd little curious gaze he always look at 007n7 and it didn't help the heavy sinking feeling on his chest that always tighten, that makes him harder to breath.
He feels like he just becomes a terrible parent, that he is a bad influence for c00lkidd, it's all because he wants to keep his son safe, it's all because he wants to keep forbidden knowledge from his son, and it's all. After all, he was scared, he was just a coward, a pathetic excuse of a former hacker.
It makes him feel terrible, knowing that you keep that truthful knowledge away from his son, who needs it to develop a better understanding of another feeling. Yeah, so fucking pathetic since you become a HORRIBLE father 007n7!
You are so horrible for keeping those away from your son!
You work FOUR jobs to make a living for both of you, yet you can't even squeeze a little time for your son!
What kind of parent are you if you can't even stop your kid from feeling like you isolated them! That you put them in a bad environment like a poor fish inside a fishbowl!
What KIND of pathetic excuse of father are you—
"F4THER?"
What? Oh... right, he realised he must be spacing out again once he feel like his body is being shake aggressively, 007n7 could feel his hard c00lkidd is gripping his hand, tugging him.
It makes him feel terrible again, how long has he been spacing out? He didn't realise that he have stopped on his track to space out, making his son worry about it.
"Oh... sorry kid, yeah... yeah we do... always together no matter where we from"
He answered, the child could only stare at him with doubt and worry but didn't want to push it over, 007n7 could only smile softly at his child before kneeling down and gently warp his arm around his son, and c00lkidd holding him tightly like a lifetime.
Carrying his son who know seem visibly exhausted and sleepy, he let c00lkidd to rest since he knew that his son son didn't like to walk if he already tired.
The walk to his home just quiet as always, and 007n7 tried his best to avoid drowning on his thoughts and putting c00lkidd in danger.
Unlocking the front door before closing them behind him with his leg as he move upstairs to c00lkidd room, opening the door as he slowly lower his son to the bed softly, with a quiet him escape from him.
Covering his son comfortably with blanket before looks over the window, the night sky look so beautiful, never in his life would he show the appreciation towards things, maybe after he have c00lkidd he should begin to show them.
With a sigh as he put the telescope near c00lkidd window while the man closed the window so his son didn't get bitten by mosquitoes.
"Sweet dreams... c00lkidd.."
007n7 mutter before heading over the door and closed it softly behind his back, walking back downstairs and sitting down on the couch, the burger hat are back to its rightful owner, gut didn't sat on 007n7 head, instead it place on the coffee table.
The little noob head staring at the man, confused but it know that 007n7 simply tired and those negative thoughts that keeps haunting him keep draining him mentally and it makes the man easily tired.
He open his c00lGUI and summoning a flower vase, sighing quietly, careful as always taking the flower off from his hair one by one and putting them on the vase nicely and once he done, it look... decent and nice at least for him.
007n7 lean his back against the couch back, staring into nothing with empty thoughts, he thought that he gonna get torture by his own mind again but seem the emptiness is more painful and the loudest.
He close his eyes, hoping that tomorrow will be another day.
Tomorrow will be a somewhat normal, that he don't have to worry much about what would happen next to him.
That tomorrow surely will be better then last time he experienced, that tomorrow he finally get a rest, just him and his son all alone together.
He already planned what he should do with his son, bonding time, teaching his son a couple basic thing about cooking, maybe fishing, or make a pillow fort with his son, reading him a story.
Or... bringing him outside for a fresh breath of air, maybe picking up flower again, making flower crown and let his son decorating his hair with bunch of flower again.
Or even have a picnic, or maybe picking up barriers and make jam? C00lkidd had been begging 007n7 to make him peanut butter jam sandwich.
Yeah... tomorrow gonna be a big day and fun for him and c00lkidd
All of those plan, seem will get rid those thoughts away from him, and he will definitely have some bonding time with his son after who know how long he haven't done it.
The tiredness slowly catch up to 007n7, he slowly feel like the exhaustion taking over to drift him off to a dreamless slumber.
With a soft sigh, 007n7 let himself relaxed more, sinking himself into the couch to drift off into the promising sleep and dreamless where he don't have to worry much about nightmare that gonna be hunting him down, that gonna be waking him up in the middle of night, though he bet that it's already 2 AM but he didn't bother to look at the clock in the wall.
As the sleepiness finally taking over, he let it happen and finally he fallen asleep on the couch, tomorrow, gonna be okay.
Notes:
Just to let everyone know, I did a heavy research on the topic and it's all about babies, what they can and cannot eat and what is recommended and suitable for babies...
I did all of this for this chapter, I don't want to make an assumption as such since if you don't do your research about things, it leads to unfortunate things you don't want to happen.
I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO MAKE IT SLIGHTLY ACCURATE, MAN, CAN'T HARM A BABY IN THIS WORK >:(
Chapter 3: A/N! (will Del or edit once new chapters drop-)

Chapter Text
If you're expecting a new chapter, then this is my deepest apologies, chat 😔
But I want to just gave you guys a heads up about Chap 3 on this work, and this might be the long ass story... like maybe between 10k—30k word since.... dunno how to explain it
And I'm planning to make a playlist for the background music... BUT! Suddenly realising that not everyone has YouTube premium or pc... and me too, I don't have YouTube premium or pc, so some people cannot listen to background music...
Hey hey! Don't blame me just because I listen to random ass music while making this story, and sometimes I just cannot focus when there isn't music to listen to... I'll try to find another way
I just love adding background music, alright, you can't blame me 😔
Notes:
Actually... would it be funny if this chapter had... uh
*/check scripts
500000 words? Just thinking... would you guys even be willing to read them? 😭
