Another run, another tiring run.

Another run that everyone got mad at him for, another run where he dies quickly.

007n7 found it exhausting, exhausting in his steps, exhausting in even existing.

But he manages. Because he does this all to get out of this purgatory, out of this never ending punishment. He does this to hopefully stay with his son again.

Hopefully 

He hated the thoughts that went through his mind. He hated that he was the first to die again. Why couldn’t he be strong like Guest? Why couldn’t he have been given a sword like Shedletsky? Why isn't he more useful like Elliot? Why couldn't he build stuff like Builderman? 

Why did he have to think before everything? Why did he have to think while he was being chased by this Monster?

I mean everyone has thoughts before they die right? He wasn’t any different. He was never any different from the others.

But why did this death feel different? He’s just going to return to the cabin. Like always. That's the only constant in this purgatory, this endless suffering.

“No, you won’t.”

Who said that? Who is speaking to him? Where are they?

“You’re going to die. That’s your job now. You’re going to die.”

Oh..

Oh.

Finally was all he could think as he was shoved against the wall by 1x. Venomshank aimed at his throat, intent to kill and then.. it went dark.

✦.────˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚────.✦

“You’re not dying, not on our watch.”

He gasped as he sat up, his tail aggressively lashing now fluffed up in fear. 007n7 looked around rapidly wait. he was in his home? His old one. the feeling of the ankle monitor digging into his skin. Indicating he’d already been put through the trial, he’d already been banned this was—

He cut his thoughts short. Suddenly remembering something. something he had to do.

– this was back then before everything. Before he was put into that damn purgatory. This caused the man to quickly get out of bed and rush to his bathroom looking in the mirror- he looked about 4 years younger! That means c00lkidd would be about six. Wait.  c00lkidd. He can see his son again!

With another burst of energy he rushed into his son's room.. and there he was.. sleeping in bed; his beautiful son. Content right there not malnourished, not killing people, but right there sleeping peacefully. It brought him to tears. Literally, tears were flowing down his cheeks making his eyes red and puffy. He should check the time. 4:30 am. Yeah that checks out.

It was pitch black outside, yet  he still had many questions running through his mind. Thinking very loud thoughts he trotted back to his bedroom and sat on his bed. Resting his hand on his head or well more of his horn. He couldn't help but ask himself-

How did he go back in time?

Why did he go back in time?

He had so many questions but this? All he knew was that he was grateful. He was given a second chance and he wasn’t going to waste it. He's not wasting this chance like how he wasted all his others.

007n7 knew that for sure. He wouldn't fail his son again. He wasn't going to fail c00lkidd again.

Never. Again.

✦.────˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚────.✦

7:30am

He was making pancakes for his son, c00lkidd. It’s his favorite. He knows it is because he’d always ask for this same breakfast every morning. His thoughts were interrupted as he heard a tiny yawn from down the stairs, 007n7 was shocked he didn't hear the clacks from the child's hooves as he walked down the stairs. He was probably too deep in thought anyway so he would refrain from dwelling on it.

“Mhn.. papa? What are you doing? You’re normally sleeping in bedd.. I couldn’t find you..”

007n7 smiled softly at his son beckoning the child to come closer, and the little one did gently clinging to his left side as the man flipped pancakes

“I'm sorry kiddo. I was making breakfast, see?”

He easily hoisted the small red child up holding him with one arm watching the kid rub his eyes with his small hand before the same eyes lit up rather quickly. Noticing his favorite meal being cooked in the pan in front of him.

“Papa! You’re making pancakes?”

The child’s grin grew, his tail wagging rapidly as he shook his dad. Getting a laugh out of 007n7. his glasses falling out of place a bit. 

“Yes yes I am. Stop shaking me kiddo-”

c00lkidd abruptly stopped before wiggling out of 007n7s grasp, quickly rushing to the fridge then grabbing the strawberries out of the same nearly empty fridge. Placing them on the counter, dragging his step stool over to reach the cutting board. He wanted to cut the strawberries! Cut them just like his dad does!!

“Can I cut them? Can I? Can I? Can iiii?”

The man chuckled before handing a butter knife to c00lkidd for his and his son's safety. 

“Go ahead.”

The child giggled happily as he began cutting the strawberries weirdly well despite the dull butter knife but he won’t dwell on it.

He probably shouldn’t dwell on it..

✦.────˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚────.✦

007 laughed at his son now covered in syrup from the newly finished pancakes. The child’s fluffy face now slightly matted together and sticky from the syrup covering it.

“Someone’s going to need a bath..”

c00lkidd pouted the child’s tail audibly hitting the floor like a sad cat. Flicking side to side the tip of the tail scraping the hardwood beneath it. It sounded like nails on a chalkboard, which caused 7n7 to cringe internally.

“Noooooooooooo!!”

The child complained, shaking his head frowning visibly at his father. Not wanting to budge, baths were for night time before bed! it was morning!

“How about a bubble bath?”

That caught c00lkidds attention. His tail wagging behind  him excitedly, he loved bubble baths!!! Not that the red child was going to admit it..

”Fffffine. But only because bubble baths are c00l.”

✦.────˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚────.✦

Mid-washing his son he heard this.. sickening crack at his front door almost as if someone was slammed against it. Then a thud preceded by a low almost distorted chuckle and then.. Silence. Unnerving silence.

“Papa will be right back. He needs to see what that sound was.”

c00lkidd nodded as 007n7 stood up and dried his hands heading towards his front door, and opened it.

Telamon. It was.. Telamon. His signature robe, his blade on the ground, his wings sprawled out as gold pooled under him- wait. That was blood or he supposed it’d be ichor still he can’t have a deity bleeding in front of him nonetheless on his property.

“You even awake..?”

007n7 murmured as he knelt down and poked the man, earning an exhausted groan from him. All he saw from the shadowed face was a golden eye only half open staring at him.

“Alright. I'm taking you inside, please don’t die on me.”

He picked up the deity gently supporting the man’s back and nearly limp wings that slightly tried wrapping around their injured body but his arms were in the way causing a grumble to emerge from Telamon. 007n7 walked Telamon to his room for the time being as they did not have a guest bedroom. Placing him on the bed before he walked back to the bathroom to grab some medical supplies.

“Whaatt wasss it papaaa?”

c00lkidd asked, trying to get answers as 007n7 grabbed the medkit which he had for emergencies and this was an emergency. A pretty dire emergency.

“It was someone.. uh. Kiddo you think you can finish washing yourself? Papa has to do something.”

7n7 spoke softly as he stepped over to his son patting his son's wet head and c00lkidd simply nodded in response as 007 sighed in relief as he walked out. Back to the deity- why the deity..

007n7 was confused as to why Telamon would show up here of all places. But he wasn’t going to ask the man why he was here. But he was going to help either way. He walked to the room, thoughts running through his mind only to see Telamon trying to stand. 

“What are you doing?”

007n7 bluntly spoke, watching Telamon flinch, his wings fluffing momentarily. Stumbling back a bit. dizzy from his blood loss.

“Telamon must fight. Telamon cannot rest. He cannot rest.”

Telamon's voice was very monotone as he turned his head and stared at the hacker, the deity’s eyes unwavering. His wings slowly trying to move before his breath hitched- two out of three sets were broken- how did he not notice this?

“I don’t think you’re going to be doing anything in that state..”

Telamon turned fully, offended. His wings fluffed. Making him look a bit bigger. Staring at the hacker, as if he just heard blasphemy.

“Telamon can do anything. A bodily state will not deter Telamon.”

007n7 deadpanned Telamon as he sighed and shook his head. Unimpressed with the deities' way of thinking. 

“Sit. Let me bandage you, stubborn man.”

Telamon made a small bird-like chiding sound, annoyed he still reluctantly sat on the bed allowing the hacker to settle behind him and begin bandaging his wings- Telamon was impressed with the man’s skill; it was as if 007n7 had done this multiple times. The deity wouldn’t admit this realization however. As he was only allowing himself to entertain this, so it would be over faster.

Telamon flinched hearing the door squeak open, his head snapping to look. It was.. a demon? What is tha—

“papaaa why is there a big bird guy here?”

—t… did the fledgling call the smaller man papa? He looked at the hacker and the red child respectively.. their tails were similar.. They both had.. horns.. he couldn't quite grasp the thought of the fledgeling and the hacker being related. Plus the fledgling didn’t seem robloxian either. What was the fledgling exactly?

“c00lkidd don’t call him a bird. I’m fairly sure that’s offensive..”

007n7 sighed out, finishing the first set of wings’ bandaging. Turning to look at his son who was still drying his flur with a towel, causing it to fluff up. Making c00lkidd  look rather… silly. Like a lamb with its face covered in wool.

“Telamon does find it offensive, blasphemous. Your fledgling is careless”

Telamon stated bluntly as if it was completely obvious. However the statement caused 007n7 to glare at the deity unimpressed. 007n7 does not tolerate when his son is talked about badly.

“Do not talk badly about my son.”

7n7 spoke blankly. Telamon made a curious expression. But decided to play along, interested in the mortal’s antics. Nodding in response allowing 007n7 to move onto the larger wounds, ignoring the stares he would get from the fledgling and the seemingly endless questions the fledgling had. The red fledgling had climbed onto the bed and was invading Telamons personal space. It was becoming irritating. He felt his sanity leaving every word that came out of the fledgelings' mouth. This fledgling was getting on his nerves.

“c00lkidd do papa a favor, go grab a rag from the kitchen and dampen it hm?”

c00lkidd nodded as he jumped off the bed a clack sound erupting from him due to his hooves, running off with a clack, clack, clack.

“I should.. invest in a carpet.”

007n7 murmured under his breath, as he wiped the golden ichor, more of smearing it. The Ichor was starting to stain his shirt. How lovely. 

He saw it already staining the bandages but he didn’t speak about it. Only bandaging Telamons arms and the smaller wounds on his chest. Telamon had a smiley face bandaid on his chin which he found blasphemous. Why was he given a fledglings’ bandage?

Clacks were heard again as c00lkidd full force threw the damp rag to 007 yelling a quick “HEADS UP!” 007 thankfully caught the rag before patting the large wounds earning a hiss from the deity.

Ignoring the pained sounds he continued his work applying antibiotics and wrapping everything with bandage before stepping back

“There. All finished. Don’t.. move too rapidly. You may make your wounds worse.”

Telamon deadpanned 007n7 frowning. An unsettling expression from the deity who almost always had a cocky grin or emotionless smile.

“Telamon doesn’t need to be commanded by a mortal criminal with an odd fledgling.”

007n7 crossed his arms, smearing some of Telamon's golden ichor on his shirt. His tail began to flick with annoyance the more he looked at the self-centered deity.

“Listen, I'm trying to help you. you have zero need to be rude. Neither to me, nor my son.”

007 spoke sternly, nearly growling at Telamon. His eyes narrowed.

“You are going to heal. You got that? I do not care if you're an admin, if you're a Deity. You're going to allow yourself to heal.”

Telamon stared at 007 in shock. This puny mortal dared to speak to Telamon like this? This was sacrilege. This mortal was careless just like his fledgeling. 

“Do not speak to-”

007 immediately cut the deity off, with zero to no care.

“No. you're going to rest. You are visibly exhausted, wounded, and low on power. You need rest. Now. no objections”

The hacker didn't allow Telamon to even respond before picking his son up and leaving the room. c00lkidd waved goodbye to the bird man smiling brightly as he was carried out the room by his father.

✦.────˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚────.✦

A few days pass, if you were to ask telamon? They were agonizing. Every day here was agonizing. Only thing he will complement is the hacker's cooking. 

There were those fledgelings… the two other fledgelings that seem to leave and enter whenever they please. Telamon thought that the red one was enough. 

But the blue one always yelling at that wretched cubic device in the main den. 

The pink one forcing him into nonsensical games, she's always focused on him though. He supposed he could tolerate it.  

The red one. That annoying red fledgeling climbing on his wings. Always up in his space. Always yelling he disliked the fledgling. But. He assumed he could tolerate their presence when they’re quiet.. like how they are right now.

Sat in the main den. Watching that.. box. Telamon remembers it being called a Television? It would make a good perch. But the fledglings were watching something on it. He thinks the pink one said it was called Shimmer and Shine? What an odd name. Nothing truly shimmers or shines in that show; it's just …pink. And purple..

“Princessss! Can we watch something else”

c00lkidd whined kicking his hooves making clack sounds on the floor.

Pr3tty princess grumbled and side eyed c00lkidd her heart-tipped tail flicking with annoyance.

“Absolutely not! I need to finish this show! It’s the only one with tastes as refined as mine.”

bluudud rolled his eyes and looked at the younger two before standing and walking over to his small setup, the setup 007n7 got for him due to how often he’s here.

“Yeah uh. You guys are boring. I'm starting my stream so quiet down.”

c00lkidd stuck his tongue out in response and turned to look at Telamon, his eyes brightening with an idea.

“Mr birdman!! You want to watch something else right?”

Telamon narrowed his gaze at the red fledgling. This creature was speaking to him. Again.

“Telamon wasn't watching in the first place. The television is beneath Telamon.”

c00lkidd tilted his head confused as pr3tty princess cackled in victory.

“Hah! We have watch, he doesn’t want to watch something els—“

She was cut off by 007n7 calling out from the kitchen

“Kids, food is done. Come eat. You too Telamon.”

Telamon perked at the word food standing and walking over with a newfound interest.

Food. 

Telamon blames shedletsky for his insatiable cravings.

Pr3tty princess hopped up quickly pausing the tv and raced c00lkidd to the table shoving past Telamon who was walking at a slow pace. The deity stumbled a bit but regained balance and sat in his usual seat.

“Yo. old man, bring me the plate im mid game.”

7n7 sighed and shook his head before letting out a soft chuckle that caught Telamons attention.

“c00lkidd please hand the plate to bluu.”

c00lkidd happily nodded hopping up and happily trotting over to his blue friend and placed the plate near him.

“Thanks shortstack.”

bluudud spoke not paying attention as he shooed c00lkidd away who made an offended gasp at the name he was called.

“I'm not a shortstack!!!”

bluudud turned to c00lkidd and poked him with his fork.

“Yes, you are. Now go eat.”

C00lkidd stuck his tongue out before skipping over back to his seat next to his dad and immediately eating his food.

007n7 laughed at his son but what the hacker found more amusing was the fact that Telamon was eating faster than his child. Eating as if it was the last meal he would have.

The hacker chuckled and then hit a giggling fit watching the deity look up at him, his cheeks stuffed with food like a chipmunk.

“Telamon can confidently say that he’s very amusing.”

Telamon spoke, swallowing his food. Proud of himself. His wings relaxed behind him, content.

“In a pathetic way.”

Bluududs distorted voice sailed out from his desk, slightly muffled from the food in his mouth. Pointing over at Telamon with his thumb. 

Telamon in turn stood smacking his hands on the table, his wings fluffing in anger, his gaze piercing Bluudud.

“You dare speak heresy directly to Telamon?”

Bluudud rolled his eyes, looking at his now flooded chat. When did he get so many viewers- wait.

“Wiatwaitwait. You're an admin?- You're a deity? What the #### Are you doing here?”

Telamon deadpanned the blue fledgeling confused. Did the Fledgeling truly not know?

“Bird man is not an adminnnn! Don't call him that! Bird man is bird man. Bird man wouldn't be here if he was an admin! Admins don't like pappaaaaaa”

c00lkidd whined out, huffing at bluudud as he walked his and pr3tty princesses plates to the sink, rinsing them.

“Telamon is an admin. Telamon is confused as to how you Fledgelings don't know.”

A barrage of responses was soon heard.

“I don't watch the news. I prefer shows more suited to my taste. Like barbie and Shimmer ‘n Shine”

“Shedletsky is c00ler. He has a sword!”

“I only care about guest 1337-”

Bluudud was cut off my c00lkidds groan of annoyance. The red child stomped his hoof on the floor as he yelled out, throwing his head back in a small tantrum-like manner.

“UUUGGGHHH it's always guest 1337 this guest 1337 that!!”

“He has cool blue hair!!”

“YOU'RE OUT OF HIS LEAGUE!”

“I'LL GET ADOPTED THEN”

“THAT WON'T HAPPEN YOU'RE NOT C00L ENOUGH!” 

Telamon had froze when he heard shedletsky's name mentioned. His wings fluffed further as he turned to c00lkidd. Ignoring the laughter that suspiciously sounded like a rooster cawing in the back of his mind.

“Telamon also has a blade! Shedletsky is inferior to Telamon's blade!’

c00lkidd looked at telamon huffing slightly. Shaking his now wet hands, getting the water out of his fur.

“Shedletsky's Sword is c00ler.”

“Telamon and Shedletsky share the same blade type! Telamon is confused by your logic.”

“Shedletsky makes it c00ler.”

Silence. Then Telamon Looked at 007n7. Pupils narrowed, left eye covered by his headwing. 

“Where is Telamon's blade criminal?”

7n7 deadpanned. Before his eyes widened and he stood rushing to his front door. Shoving it open sighing in relief grabbing the Illumina- by Telamons name he forgot how shiny the thing was. 

Telamon hovered behind him holding his hand out for the deity's favorite blade.Telamon wasn't going to be patient, especially watching the hacker proceed to open a c00lGUI panel and place the blade in some sort of inventory Telamon couldn't access.

“Give. Telamon. His. Blade.” 

007 looked at the deity blankly shaking his head. Wearing the face of a disappointed father.

“When you heal- or when you don't have a murderous glint in your eye. Whichever happens quicker.”

Telamon let out an annoyed bird-like Chide followed by under his breath almost inaudible raspy sounds . This hacker was starting to truly get on his nerves. 

“I'll be taking the children for a walk, if you want to join say something, otherwise you can stay here.”

Telamon huffed and stood straight crossing his arms.

“Telamon shall stay, attending your…mortal activities is beneath Telamon.”

007n7 rolled his eyes before walking past Telamon heading off to get the children dressed. Leaving once they were ready, c00lkidd avidly waved bye to Telamon.

✦.────˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚────.✦

C00lkidd rushed inside laughing- then paused after seeing something big and shiny on the tv what was-

“BIRD MAN WHY ARE YOU ON THE TV!?!??!”

C00lkidd screeched, then a surprised squawk. Then-  CRASH!  Down goes the TV hard and.. Telamon. Who had been perched on the television. It was in fact a good perch. The fall however wasn't good. What was worse was the multitude of gasps and the low sigh of disappointment. Obviously from the single father.

“Telamon- why were you on the TV.”

“Perch. Telamon was perching. The television was a comfortable perch, Telamon doesn't regret his actions.”

“Well Telamon is going to be paying for that Television. That was expensive.”

“Pardon? You possibly cannot put Telamon in debt.”

“I can and will. You're paying for that Telamon.”

Telamon sighed- he didn't even know where the expenses were. He supposed he had to talk to his other half about this.. Matter.. 

Telamon hated the man he could also be. He was too immature. Shedletsky was very immature.

The deity let himself get helped up by 007n7 and sat on the couch- Telamon was thinking to himself. More of- conversing with his other half at least.

‘You know Telamon has no clue where the expenses are held. That's your job, Shedletsky.’

‘So what do you want me to do? Swap places with you and give him his Robux while we’re still wounded?’

‘Telamon doesn't care, this matter is beneath Telamon. Deal with it.’

Telamon sighed to himself, now finally paying attention to the world around him. The busted Television was gone- The red fledgeling was tugging at his wing. Again. 

Telamon has gotten used to it. However it is still irritating. He also had a weight on his head- probably the pink fledgelings tiara and bows again.

Telamon grumbled and looked around- there was the pink one- walking over with hot pink ribbon. The red one had finally settled and forcefully wrapped Telamon's wing around itself. And the blue one was- by the blue fledglings words. Streaming? Telamon couldn't care less-

“Alright. Off Telamon. Princess get the ribbons off his headwings.”

007n7 spoke, sighing softly as he grabbed c00lkidd out of his hiding place and pulled the loose pink ribbon off Telamons wing.

Telamon shuttered at the feeling, his gaze following 007n7. 

Pr3tty Princess pouted, grabbing the ribbon 007 pulled off Telamon.

“C’mon!! He wasn't complaining! Why do I have to stop ! it doesn't hurt him. Plus I just want to make him as pretty as me!

“Cause he's a deity and-”

“Telamon is content with it. Telamon will allow the fledgeling to make him pretty or.. Whatever she stated.”

Pr3tty princess giggled triumphantly, climbing on top of Telamon to tie the ribbons onto his wings and different feathers.

007n7 Looked at Telamon, confused. Chuckling to himself- something Telamon caught on and perked up to- wait. Why was he reacting positively to the chuckle? He’d look into it later.

“Didn't know you gained tolerance.”

“Telamon has always had tolera–”

“Mr Telamon. Swear by your name that you will wear the bows forever!”

“Telamon swears to wear them for as long as he lives.”

Pr3tty princess grinned tail wagging. Then perking up at an alarm emerging from 007n7’s phone. 

007 grabbed the device and looked at it, shutting the alarm off and sighing.

“Alright everyone. It's bedtime.”

“Buttt papaaa….’

C00lkidd whined, suppressing a yawn. As he rubbed his eyes

P3tty princess was already grabbing stray beauty supplies- and unplugging bluududs pc. Causing him to yell in frustration.

“Princess why the #### did you do that !?!”

“Because, it's bedtime. We all need beauty sleep. Especially me.”

“Fine.”

Bluudud sighed and stood pushing his fluff down. Tail flicking in annoyance, taking the headset off, hooking it on the monitor. Perking up at something in his peripheral vision. On his tail. Bluudud tilted his head curious. Grabbing the tail just to see a big blue bow right under his sharp spaded tail tip.

“Princess. Why is there a bow on my tail”

“Because it's blue, and it matches you.”

“Valid argument”

Bluudud walked off now uninterested in the situation.

“I'm going to go shower. Peace-out”

“Catch ya later”

“....Uncle 7 please don't ever say that again”

“What? I'm hip with the times.”

“Papaa…you're killin me…....please shush…”

007n7 sighed, then smiled softly .

“Alright alright ill stop lets tuck you and princess into bed huh?”

C00lkidd nodded then princess also nodded before scattering off waving bye to Telamon as he rushed into the shared room 007n7 and c00lkidd following behind, 007 still holding c00lkidd who was drifting in-'n-out of sleep.

 007 walked back into the living room after about 15 or-so minutes. Just to come face to face with telamon who had his hands partially tangled in pr3tty princesses hot-pink ribbon.

“Telamon must reluctantly ask for assistance.”

“How did you–?”

“Telamon tried removing the ribbons from his wings. They fought back. and won. Telamon requires assistance”

‘Ask him nicely.’

“....Please assist telamon.”

“Alright alright come here.”

Telamon sighed in relief holding his hands out to 007n7 allowing the man to use his expertise. 

007n7 who of course, immediately got to work. 

“By Tel- your name this is bad..”

007n7 murmured, having migrated to the couch sitting in front of the deity as he slowly but surely untangled the ribbons. Sighing in relief when finishing.

“May Telamon request assistance with… these too?”

Telamon turned showing his- terribly unpreened wings, full of poorly tied bows on feathers.

007 sighed, chuckling as he scooted closer starting on the ribbons

“When was the last time you had your wings preened?-”

“Telamon permits you to preen him if you wish.”

Telamon spoke, his voice nearly inaudible, more on par with the sound of gentle wind. His wings twitching a bit behind him.

007n7 simply looked at Telamon curiously, before smiling and continued on the ribbons tied to Telamons' crooked and newer feathers. Plus the ribbons tangled within the clumps of feathers were not helpful.

“Oh, okay. I will, It seems uncomfortable.”

Telamon merely nodded ignoring Shedletsky's shocked statements in the back of his mind.

The biggest thing shedletsky knew about Telamon was the fact that he has never let a mortal- let alone a hacker preen them. 

Telamon didn't even let Brighteyes preen them before shedletsky and her got divorced. This was odd to shedletsky but he supposed he was glad that Telamon finally found someone he enjoyed being around enough to let preen them

Even if they didn't know how much this meant to them.

Telamon Relaxed in 007n7s hold, feeling the hacker transition from untangling and removing ribbons to preening. 

FIngers entangled into the mass of feathers, pulling old already loose ones and removing the keratin coating on newer smaller feathers. Untangling large clumps and putting crooked feathers back into their place. 

Telamon let out a content hum. The hacker moved on to Telamons upper second set of wings which were frankly worse. Probably due to if he even attempted to preen the back of those, it would cover his eyes fully. 

007 let out a long exhale. Looking at the rough shape the deities' wings were in. 

Frankly, the man was disappointed. In Telamons self-care. He thought an egotistical deity would take care of his wings much better than this. But no, They were in such a disarray.

The hacker got to work. Getting grime and loose feathers out. 007n7s tail swaying behind him focused.

Telamon appreciated that. About how serious 007 was about this. He didn't know the hacker could be anything but reckless, And immature, and stupid. Telamon didn't know the man could be productive. 

Telamon's breath hitched. 007n7s hand which had just been buried into a big tangle of feathers near the base of the wings. Immediately Retracting.

“Are- you okay Telam–”

“ShhHhh.. Telamon wants you– to do that again..”

“Are you sure–”

“Do that again.”

007n7 shrugged and went back to what he was doing before. Telamon letting out a muffled hum. Back slightly arching into 007n7s hands. Headwings covering his face, embarrassed.

‘This is what happens when you don't-’

‘Telamon wants you to shut up shedletsky.’

‘Finefine. It's nice though isn't it? Being preened by another?’

‘Yes. Telamon will-’

“Alright i- think I'm done with your wings.”

Telamon flinched. Sitting straight looking behind him, his face flushed.

“Ah- Oh. Telamon thanks you.”

“Don't worry about it. If you need assistance I'll be able to help. You should go get some rest now.”

“Telamon will- rest out here. You go to the-”

“No. You're the guest. Plus you're a–”

“Telamon will only take no only as heresy. Now go to your room. Rest, uh- please?”

007n7 sighed. chuckling to himself , Noticing how unused Telamon was to saying please.

“Okay.”

The man spoke as he stood his tail swaying behind him. Stretching starting to walk away. pausing before the hallway corner. looking back at telamon

“Goodnight Telamon.”

“Goodnight Cr- 007n7. Goodnight 007n7.”

“Why has my bed been made into a nest.”

“Telamon made an improvement.”

Chapter Text

✦.────˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚────.✦

007n7 woke up hearing knocking on his front door.

Sitting up from his curled up position in that nest Telamon turned his bed into. The nest the man was too lazy to take down the one that was very oddly comfortable.

Feathers clinging to him. Feathers Telamon seemed to put there on purpose. Golden feathers stuck in the seams of his shirt.

007n7 was however way too tired to care, just wanting to see who was at the door. so he could make his kids breakfast, then go back to sleep.

007 groggily stood. Walking out his room. Noticing the empty couch. Where the hell was Telamon.

The hacker decided that he would worry about the deity's whereabouts later.

He stepped to the front door. Opening it looking up seeing- shedletsky...?

“Hello- is there something you–”

“Here. Take this, for the- Television.”

Shedletsky held out a bunch of robux, shoving it in 007n7s hands, eyes following the feathers that fell in the process.

ignoring the surge of pride he noticed from the deity in the back of his mind.

“Why- how did you know i needed a new TV?”

“A uh… birdie told me.”

“Telamon?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. uh.. Would you like to join me and my kids for breakfast?”

“YES.  ehem- Yes.. yes. i would love to. Don't say no to meal offers right?”

007n7 chuckled, nodding softly as he ushered Shedletsly inside. Seating the man on the couch. 

Before hearing a distinct sound of hooves hitting the hardwood floorings of the home.

“Papaa? Who's here? – why are you covered in feathers?..”

“Oh- no reason kiddo- and Mr. Shedletsky is here.”

“Please just call m–”

“MR SHEDLETSKY???”

c00lkidd fully woke up at that moment, jittering in excitement. Tail wagging behind him, trotting over to see Shedletsky gasping asking a multitude of questions. beady eyes gleaming with excitement. 

“Ohoh!! You have wings! Like like mr bird mannn!!”

“Ah- oh yes they're–”

“Woahhh!! Your wings are soft mr shedletsky!! How do you care for them? Oh! Is that a bow? Ohohohoh!! You have Tail feathers!! –”

“Okay okay c00lkidd, stop bombarding Shedletsky.”

“Sorry mr shedletskyyyy”

“It's okay kiddo.”

Shedletsky laughed at the child. He didn't understand Telamon's disdain for the being. He was quite amusing. When he's not climbing on ya..

Okay maybe he did.

This child had been talking his ear off for 30 minutes. Pr3tty princess and bluudud had both long done woken up. Bluudud was setting his streaming platform up, getting ready for the day, then pr3tty princess was shining her pink heels.

“Okay breakfast is done, made some bacon and eggs.”

007 called out from the dining room. the smell of the food in the air. it smelt amazing. Telamon probably wasn't exaggerating when he said 007n7s cooking was good.

C00lkidd hopped up excitedly rushing over to the dining area. Pr3tty princess following close behind, brushing out her fluffy fur. Then bluudud followed pushing his headphones down to his neck. 

Up Shedletsky stood, making his way over. Sitting in his– well.. Telamons usual seat.

“Bird man sits there!!”

“Oh- uh–”

“C00lkidd lower your voice, i'm trying to eat.”

“Princess. Everything isn't about you. Plus Bigbird isn't here. So why does it matter–”

“Speaking of Mr. Telamon, where is he?”

“Dunno. I suppose you can sit there then Mr shedletsky.”

Shedletsky let out an amused huff, taking a bite out of his eggs. Ignoring the looks both c00lkidd and 007n7 were giving him.

mainly 007s suspicious looks. like the man knew something. but what could he have-

“You said Telamon told you I needed a new Television right?”

“Ah- yes. Yes. He did.”

“Where? I need to get him back here. As you could have seen, he was badly hurt.”

“Oh- Uh– ####... he actually told meee... uh... over the phone..?”

“I highly doubt he knows how to use a phone..”

Shedletsky let out a giggle, then burst out into laughter. His laughter sounded a lot like a prolonged rooster caw. Causing bluudud and c00lkidd to snicker.

bluudud looking at him like he was crazy.

“Pfff– why the #### do you laugh like that- is it a bird thing?”

“....Yes. it's a bird thing… This bird can also ruin your whole streaming career, don't test him.”

“Hey! You wouldn't actually do that to a kid– would you?”

“Haha– Of course not. It was a white lie, I wouldn't do that to ya kiddo.”

Pr3tty princess finally started paying attention to what was happening at the table, turning to look at Shedletsky. First thing clocking in her mind. The hot pink bow on his left headwing.

“Where did you get thet Mr. Shedletsky? I gave Mr Telamon the same one...”

“Oh– UH— I got it from- a costume shop. To match with Telamon..?”

“oh. Okay respectable, I know I have amazing taste when it comes to picking bows for others.”

Shedletsky sighed, Relieved. That was too close for his liking.

Shedletsky waved, opening the door to leave.

“Well bye you four– l'll be sure to tell Telamon to get his bird butt over here okay?”

“Okkkaayyy!!! Bye Mr shedletskyy! Tell bird man Papa isn't happy he left!!”

“I..- will. Don't worry i'll make sure he knows”

“Good. Cause i told him he had to stay till he healed.”

“He will know, trust me.”

With that, Shedletsky saluted them in a joking manner walking out, closing the door behind them.

‘Heard that bird man? Someone isn't happy with ya.’

‘Do not remind Telamon. Telamon doesn't regret making you interact with them. Now do you understand Telamon's interest?’

‘I have to admit. Yeah.. I do. You're going to be the one tellin’ him we’re the same being though.’

‘Telamon understands, Telamon will.’

It was nearly sundown. Telamon hasn't returned yet. 007 was starting to get really annoyed.

This man child of a deity is starting to get very irritating. The man supposed he would have to wait. 

But now? He has to cook dinner. Now what–

“THEYRE ON ME. THEYRE JUMPIN–”

“BLUU WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU YELLING ABOUT????”

“THE ENEMY TEAM IS JUMPIN ME.”

007 snickered. Stepping over looking at the  screen, coming into the stream's camera.

Not noticing bluudud was streaming quite yet. Merely looking at the game infront of him, the one on the screen.

“Tell your teammates that they suck. They havent gotten a single shot, nor have they killed any– oh you're streaming. Hello chat”

“Uncle 7 do you even–”

“Yes. I used to exploit that game. I remember being on the leaderboard.”

“Oh. well then.”

“Well then. What should I make for dinner?”

The hacker spoke standing straight. Waving bye at the camera before starting to walk off.

“You should get pizza!!”

“I can try . What would you want if I can't?”

“Chicken Alfredo.”

“Okay.”

The man spoke, grabbing his phone reluctantly typing in the pizza place number. Calling.

‘Builder Brothers pizzeria, what can I get for you?’

“Yes can–”

‘007n7. You're blacklisted.’

“ Please. I won't call for the rest of the year. The kids I'm babysitting want pizza. im sure my son does too...”

‘..... Fine . But don't call again. What do you want?’

“Can i get- Pepperoni and a meat lovers pizza?”

‘Is that all?’

“Yes.”

‘I will be delivering it shortly. I better have a tip.’

“I'll give you one..sorry about this Elliot”

‘You better and shut up. Be glad I'm in a good mood today. ’

With that, the phone hung up. 007 sighed in relief, then flinching at the sound of his front door opening. Turning round quickly to see- Telamon

“Telamon has returned. Telamon apologises for-”

“Shut up. Let me see your wings. Let me make sure you didn't damage them any more than they are.”

Telamon tensed. Before sighing, smiling. shutting the door behind him. Settling himself on the couch. Allowing 007 to albeit roughly look over his wings.

007s hands shuffled through feathers, checking bandages. Noticing something. Telamon had new bandages.

“Who changed them?”

“...Builderman.”

“Okay.”

007 sighed in relief. Glad to see that the deity didn't damage his wings further nor strain the wings.

007 roughly grabbed Telamons headwing. Pulling Telamons face back. 

Eyes locking. Ignoring the whine the deity let out at the action.

“Do not pull that stunt again. Got it?”

“YeaHh.. Got it.. ”

“Atleast say something before leaving. also why did you send Shedletsky over? You could have given me the cash yourself.”

“Shedletsky handles expenses..”

“Pardon?”

“Ah- Telamon said nothing…  Shedletsky merely overheard Telamon speaking to Builderman about it and.. Decided to pay you himself.”

007n7s eyes narrowed before he rolled his eyes. Letting go of the higher beings wing. Feathers falling.

Telamon hummed. Staying in the position 007 pulled him in. wings twitching. 

Then he leaned back, settling on the hacker's plush chest. Earning a surprised squeak.

“Telamon what are–”

“Shh.. Telamon is comfortable.”

“You can lay in the–”

“sHhh………Youre comfortable. Humor telamon and allow him to stay.”

“ Fine. but i will have to get up soon. I got pizza.”

“ ‘mkay… Telamon will…. Possibly allow you to answer the door when needed.”

“Uhuh..”

007 sighed. Scoffing before smiling softly looking at telamon. 

Content. Settled. Hood covering his face partially. Wings lax against 007. Eyes shut. 

007 wrapped his arms around the deity. His tail swaying content behind him.

A loud, almost annoyed knock was soon heard. Startling both Telamon and 007n7.

“Telamon will go greet them.”

“Telamon wai–”

The deity had already stood and opened the door.

going face to face with the pizza delivery man.

“You better have– oh my Telamon.. Hah– its The Telamon –?? Wheres 007n7?--”

Elliots voice was squeaky, shocked. Honestly? Scared. What connections did 007n7 gain for Telamon to be here wounded–

“Is this the pizza?”

“Ah- Uh yes. Pizza that 007 ordered. I need to– see him so can sign and pay me.”

“Telamon will go get him.”

“I'm right here- Telamon I said I would answer the door.”

“Telamon apologizes.”

“Sorry.. Elliot..”

007 sighed ignoring Telamon who was now hovering behind him

Elliot seemed… stressed probably due to the fact that the man he hated the most was friends with Telamon. The telamon. And seemed- close? Close enough for Telamon to look like he was probably smelling the hacker– actually. If Elliot paid attention Telamon was smelling 007- what the hell?

007 paid, giving Elliot a big tip. Grabbing the pizzas.

“Thank you elliot- thank you. Truly.”

“Yeah yeah– just– don't have your bird answer the door next time— he's scary.”

“Telamon doesn't regret anything.”

“I'll make sure he doesn't. Sorry bout that..”

Elliot rolled his eyes. Shutting the door.

007 immediately let out a long breath he didn't know he was holding. Wiping his eyes. Preventing the tears from falling. by Telamon's name he didn't expect seeing Elliot to effect him that bad.

Telamon looked at 007n7 worried.

“Telamon can feed the fledgelings in the uh dining area..? if you would wish for me to?”

“That.. would be nice.. I'd be grateful. I need to go sit in my bedroom for a bit.”

Telamon nodded and took the boxes from 007n7. Calling out for the fledgelings. 

Pr3tty princess came running, settling in her admittedly boosted seat. c00lkidd following close behind, sitting in his own seat, feet kicking back and forth.

Bluudud soon sat. uninterested. But ready for food. He asked for the pizza afterall.

Maybe they shouldn’t have let telamon serve the food- he had cut and served the pizza boxes.

“Yo– birdbrain, you know we can't eat the cardboard right?”

“We can only eat the pizza bird man..”

“Is the whole thing not edible?”

“No. dude it's not. We only eat the pizza, not the package.”

“You mortals are so confusing. You order food but not eat everything?”

“We eat the food the box is a package.”

Bluudud looked at Telamon blankly. Grabbing a slice. Referring to it.

“This, this is food. The brown box isn't food.”

“Confusing, This is why this is beneath Telamon.”

“Then why–”

“To assist. Assisting those Telamon is Interested in is not beneath him.”

“Okay then mr everything is beneath me.”

Telamon frowned. Just pushing the food over to the fledgelings. They were getting on his nerves.

“Telamon is going to go check on 007n7. Do not die while he's gone.”

“Got it bigbird.”

“Tell papa I said hiii!!”

“Goodbye Mr Telamon.”

007 laid curled in the bed– or well nest since he didn't take it down.

He wasn't feeling good. He thought he would be okay. 

He truly did. He truly thought he would be okay if he saw elliot. But no.

All he can remember is that purgatory. 

The hacker felt like if he even attempted to eat the pizza he would vomit . .

His tail curled close to him. He shook. He hated this. He hated this.

How dodge held himself together when he felt like he was crumbling. How is he supposed to be okay when he's not .

It's not any better when seeing shedletsky today made it worse. 

He was glad he rarely saw telamon there– 

Now that he thinks about it. He's never seen shedletsky and Telamon in the same room. Even before.

It's odd . 

A gentle knock was heard. 007 tensing at the sound. Sitting up.

“7? Telamon wishes to enter. May telamon enter?” 

“...yeah..”

007s voice wavered. Very weak. Hands moving up to wipe his eyes. Watching the door open.

Deity walking in closing the door behind him. Eyes looking around before locking onto 007n7.

“Are you.. Crying?”

“....yeah. Just memories.. ”

Telamon frowned. Stepping over murmuring a quiet “May i?”

Placing his hand in the nest he set up for 007. Watching the man shuffle to the side. Allowing Telamon to settle next to him.

The deity hummed. Pulling 007 into a hug. Ignoring the way the man's breath hitched. Audibly startled.

007 snaked his arms around Telamon. Letting out a hiccup before the tears started building up again.

Staining the deities' robes. Feeling the way Telamons arms held him loosely. 

WIngs moving to encase them in the soft feathery gold. 

“Why do you let tears fall?”

“...Seeing Elliot reminded me of.. Something I experienced.”

“Do not worry. Telamon has harsh memories as well. It comes with age.”

“As if I aged like fine wine.”

“Not wine.. Ambrosia. Much more fit for Telamon.”

007 tensed hearing Telamon's words. looking up looking at the deity confused. Letting out a stressed giggle. Wiping his eyes of tears.

“What? What does that even mean? ”

“Telamon speaks his truth.”

“What does that mean though?”

“Do you not understand? Telamon wishes to worship you. Telamon is interested in you. Telamon wants you as his .”

“You intrigue Telamon. May telamon court you?”

007 was.. Amazed. There's little to no way that Telamon is being serious. 

007 couldnt– wouldnt believe it. 007n7s tail wagged behind him. His and Telamons eyes locked before 007 snickered and looked away.

“ Wow - you almost got me. Nice jo–”

“Telamon isn't joking. Telamon is speaking with genuine interest.”

“ Why?”

“You're.. Amazing as a person. In general– you treat those fledgelings so well. As if they're your own.  you .. genuinely worry for Telamon though he hasn't earned it. Telamon wants you. Needs you in his life. Please allow telamon to court you. Telamon will treat you well; he swears he would never intentionally hurt you.”

007n7s eyes widened. Shoulders relaxing. Letting out a small chuckle.

Hand moving up to grab Telamons face, hands burrowing in the brown curly locks. 

Tail wagging behind him. Face a gentle smile pulling the deity into a gentle kiss.

Both relaxing. Telamon albeit unused to kissing another leaned in. 007s eyes fluttered closed. 

Telamon stared. Admiring the hacker. 

The deity brought his hands up gripping onto the larger closer to base bit of 007n7s curled- ram like horns using them similarly to handles. Pulling the man closer into the kiss.

After nearly a full minute 007 pulled away with partial struggle. A string of saliva following.

Panting 007 stared at Telamon. Head lowered from the weight of the deity's hands holding onto his horns.

The wagging of his tail slowed as he leaned back in for a small peck. Leaning his face down flush against Telamons chest.

“I… yes .. I accept. You can..”

007 went silent face buried into Telamons robes.

The deity smiled. retracting his wings, settling back in the soft nest. Bringing 007n7 down with him.

“Telamon is… greatfu–”

A loud knock was heard. 007 sitting up quickly. Now sat on top of Telamon.

 Scuttering off to sit up beside the deity instead. Calling out a “ yeah?”

“Papaaa can I sleep in bed with you tonight? I keep having bad dreams..”

“Cmon in c00lkidd you can come lay down hun..”

c00lkidd opened the door walking in holding his drakkobloxer plush. 

Climbing into bed- shuffling into the nest setup settling on 007n7s side. 

The child quickly fell asleep. 007n7 petting the back of his son's head. Helping to soothe c00lkidd.

Tealmon soon shuffled closer to the two. Settling up against 007. Resting his face on the hacker's shoulder.

“Comfortable?”

“Yes, telamon is.. Comfortable ..” 

The deity murmured nearly muffled. He was.. Happy . Yeah. happy . 

He could get used to this..

But not everything is good for long is it?

AN: SORRY I WAS DEAD FOR SO LONNNG!! HOWS EVERYONE'S FRIDAY ? MINES GREAT.

I say as if I'm typing this on friday, no its monday.

Cough

Prepare yourselves mentally.

✦.────˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚────.✦

007 sat up in his bed. Or at least Tried to. Nope, he couldn't. He was held down, by a– wing? Oh. oh yeah– Telamon. 

Oh fuck - Telamon. 

007n7 turned his head to the side. Now face to face with the sleeping deity. Snoring slightly, Hood halfway off- wait. His hood was falling off. 

Wow

The deity looked alot like shedletsky. Why does he keep thinking that? Though.. They both do share alot of similarities 

Oh wow , alot of similarities. 

007 raised his hand, placing it on Telamon's cheek. Watching the deity lean into the touch.

 A sleepy sigh came from Telamon's mouth as he shuffled closer to the hacker. 

The man smiled. Comforted in knowing another was comfortable enough to sleep around him, someone that wasn't his child. Someone he.. Cared for. Romantically. His tail wagged slightly behind him. Happy. 

007 looked around,  lifting his head a bit. Seeing– a red blob behind- oh. c00lkidd moved behind Telamon. The child was laying under Telamons wing, only halfway. Snoring loudly. As per-usual. 

He suppressed a chuckle.  

Then. All he heard was his front door being broken down,making him sit up as fast as possible. Shoving telamons wing off him. Telamon was also now wide awake shuffling to get off the bed following 007n7.

007 was already halfway to the living room. Then just stared. Making eye contact with the intruder.

1x1x1x1. What the hell is he doing here? Why–

“Creator. You're taking refuge in a hackers estate? That's sad ”

1x’s glitchy voice erupted.she wasn't even looking at 007n7 anymore, he was more of looking behind the hacker straight at their creator. Eyes narrowing, zipper mouth frowning in anger. 

Daemonshank in hand she walked closer. Watching as Telamon pulled the man behind him.

“You're protecting it? Have you become soft ? Domesticated? ”

Telamon looked at 007n7 gold eye peeking out through the shadow of his hood.

Face serious, an expression the hacker was unused to.

“Telamon requires his blade.”

“You are unarmed? The hacker has your weaponry ?”

007 nodded, opening a panel. Reaching in pulling out the illumina just to immediately have 1x charging at him.

Grin on the corrupted beings face. 007n7 instinctively brought the sword up parrying 1x. Thank Telamon he played SFOTH long before he started hacking. 

1x’s grin seemed to get wider. 007n7 and 1x went back a fourth, their blades clashing.

Telamon stared with a mixture of horror and admiration.

The deity shook his head snapping out of his trance. running out, in a rather.. Unsightly manner. Interrupting the sword fight. Snatching his blade out of 007n7s hand. Immediately taking the hackers place.

“Get the fledgelings out of here. Telamon will handle this thing ”

“Your little toy does well with a blade. Did you teach it?”

“Telamon taught him nothing, it was his own skill that held you off.”

“Interesting..”

007n7 had run off to gather up the children. 

Scattering into the shared room. Thankful to see them all already gathered there. 

“Seven. What the #### is happening out there-”

“It's- a long story. Bluu. your moms place is closest, i need you to take c00lkidd and princess there. Okay?”

“Record the fight. Then we have a deal, old man.”

“Okay. I'll help you guys out okay?”

Bluudud nodded. Watching 007n7 open the window. Helping the smallest out first. Attempting to help bluudud but getting swatted away. Chuckling in response.

“Just get to your mothers, ill pick up you all back up once this is all over.”

“Okay Seven.”

“Be safe papa!!”

“I will kiddo.”

007 sighed, shutting the window.

Telamon huffed hand covering a bloody wound. Still fighting.

Looking down. Then back up, seeing 1xs blade swinging down to his face. 

####. Wings instinctively covering his face. 

Then

CLANK. 

blades clattered to the ground. 

1x looked puzzled, who– they glanced behind Telamon.

  007n7 . Hacking panels open, just like before he retired. He used the code to fling the weapons out of the corrupt beings hands.

1x’s eyes narrowed on the father. Lunging. Re-summoning her blade, slicing at the hacker.

Telamon stared in horror. Reaching out to stop 1x. Falling short. 

Tasting his sickeningly sweet ichor that pooled in his mouth after falling on the ground. Golden wings sprawling. 

Watching 007n7 stumble back typing in code. Partially healing himself. Stopping his own bleeding as he attempted to dodge most of 1x’s swings. 

Telamon felt useless. What happened to the deity who could do anything? Now all he could do is lay and watch this– his. mortal die. Why was he allowing this- why couldn't he just stand and FIGHT.

007n7 grunted, getting cornered. Blood seeping from his wounds.coughing a bit, slouched. Looking up at 1x. Tail flicking behind him. Many of his more useful panels were long discarded or destroyed by 1x. He could only hope the children got away from here.

“So what? Are you going to kill me?”

“Possibly.”

1x  brought his sword up. Swinging to hit 007n7 in the head. Blade getting stuck in the hackers horn instead.

007n7 let out a loud strained laugh. His head tilted to the side from the new weight in his head. Obviously that didn't go as planned.

1x stared. Reaching his hand back out. Pushing the blade through the horn. 

The hacker cringed at the new unbalanced weight and the pain of his horn being dragged down to get cut.

1x glanced at 007n7s face. Shoving a blade into the hacker's shoulder ignoring the man's pained gasp.

Looking at the cut of horn. She shrugged, ripping the blade back out of the shoulder. Walking away, out of the home.

Much to the hackers' shock. 

007 chuckled. Sliding down against the wall. Laughing in relief that he still lived. Hearing Telamons distant giggles of frustration. 

“How the hell are we still alive–”

“Telamon doest understand how you lived through that… Telamon is grateful though.”

“I dont understand either–”

“Dont go celebrating yet.”

“Put m’ down!! Papa!! Help!–”

1x stepped back into the estate, holding the red child by the scruff. Blade at his throat. Bluudud running behind huffing, panting.

“Put c00lkidd down you freak!--”

“You have nerve for a blue creature ”

1x looked behind him at bluudud, eyes narrowing.

007n7 was mortified. The hacker stumbled up. Using the wall as support. Stepping over Telamon.

The hacker stood shakily a few feet away from 1x.

“Put my son down .”

“I do not think you're in any position to make demands.”

007n7’s face scrunched. Looking at bluudud who was shielding princess from seeing all this.

“My creator is weakened, you're weak . You're in no position to tell me what to do.”

“So what? Just– put him down. He has nothing to do with this. Please ”

“Its your life, or his. So wh–”

“ Mine .”

“,... so be it. ”

Telamon reachesd his arm out struggling to sit up– ####! He couldn't let this- he couldn't– 

Telamon watched 1x1x1x1’s blade slice.

Telamon watched 007n7s head fly off his shoulders.

The fledgelings watched 7n7 die . 

Fuckfuckfuck

Fuck

Fuck

Fuck

Fuck

Fuck

Fuck

Telamon slid over. Catching 7n7s limp body. Holding back a pained cry.

A thud heard as c00lkidd was dropped.

1x seemed proud of himself. Proud of what she has done.

“My job here is done. Goodbye.”

With that they walked out. Walking past the blue and pink fledgelings.

Ignoring them. After all, they weren't his business. It wasn't necessary to pay attention to them.

Watching 1x leave, Bluudud stood. Shocked, horrified. Feeling as princess brought her claws up, shoving bluududs arm down to see what was happening. Gasping. Hiding behind bluudud again. 

‘That was terrifying– what happened to Mr.7n7?!’ thoughts ran through princesses mind. She didn't know how tio process this she didn't know what to do-  

Then there was c00lkidd. He just sat there. Scooting over to 7n7s body. Through the mix of crimson and shiny gold liquid coating the ground. Grabbing onto his papa and shaking him slightly.

Tail curled around him. His face, a worried expression. Ignoring the pitiful stare Telamon gave him. He held his fathers hand up to his face. Trying to get him to hold him again- mentally pleading for him to sit up; to hug him again.

Watching as the body slowly became transparent- then vanished along with the gore that came from it. Now the fledgeling only sat in the golden ichor that coated the ground.

Telamon frowned, pulling the child into his embrace. Beckoning over the other two who scurried over for the hug. Wrapping his ichor covered wings around them. Shielding them from the horrors they just experienced.

Goodness. 

What was telamon supposed to do now..?

He doesn't even know how to care for fledgelings..

007n7 gasped. Sitting up, hand reaching his throat. Its- bumpy? Like a scarring but it feels different. what the hell–?

“Someone has been blessed by the spawn!”

–Wait what?

007n7 gasped. Sitting up, hand reaching his throat. Its- bumpy? Like a scarring but it feels different. What the hell–?

“Someone has been blessed by the spawn!”

–Wait what? 

Where was he- what just- oh. He died again. Same person killed him too!

That's.. Annoying. But where was he-

7n7 looked around. Confused. He was- sat infront of- an altar? No. he was- on the altar. 

He looked down. Holy shit. This was a cult. Why was he in a cult.

The cultists stared. Having previously been mid sermon. They were given no sign a being would be blessed, not this day, not this year. 

The gathering of robloxians were amazed, then all grinned. 

“You! Welcome! You've been blessed! The spawn has blessed you.”

7n7 flinched, shuffling his body off the altar he unfortunately respawned on. Having to rebalance his head. The uneven weight wasn't helpful. it was throwing off his balance. 

“Where am i..?”

“The church of the spawn of course! Are you not a member?”

7n7 frowned. Kind of– embarrassed? Wait.  The spawn? That sounds familiar.. Oh!! That's the cult the one person– uh- TwoTime was in the spawn cult. Yeah. 

Wait.

Why was he–

Blessed. It was said he was blessed. Does that mean— he respawned. He can get back to them– he needs to get home.

“I need to get home-”

“Nono! Please! Stay longer! Tell us what it was like gaining your second life from the spawn!”

“I really-”

“Please. Stay. just a bit longer.”

7n7 seemed uncomfortable but nodded. Watching as the being– who he assumed was a priest. Motion someone over with a glass- of water? The glass was soon offered to him. He took it but looked at it suspiciously.

“Water?”

“Ah! No! Tears! Tears of the spawns followers, only joyous ones!”

7n7 stared. Shocked, flabbergasted. How does one respond to that?

Why was he given tears?! What kind of trickster god would even think of that?--

“... Tears..?”

“Yes! It tastes wonderful! Try!”

The other pushed the glass to 7n7s lips making the other take a sip, cringing at the salty bitter taste. 

7n7 laughed nervously. 

pushing the glass away in rejection. 

The hacker glanced around. Trying to pinpoint a location. But they were in a building. A church. Yeah.  too many religious symbols for 7n7s liking. Plus being inside makes it so much harder to leave..

“I truly must leave–”

“Let us show you around! Please before you go! You won't want to leave after!”

“Oh–”

“Yesyes! Ah! Twotime will you show our lovely guest around?”

7n7 stiffened. He can barely get a word in. He glanced at the crowd watching a familiar figure stand. So Twotime truly is here.. Oh– wait, who's that beside them?

“This is TwoTime! Oh! Azure i only called for Two–”

“Please allow Azure to accompany us! I wish to introduce him to our most fortunate guest!”

“Oh… well I suppose I will allow it.”

Twotime grinned nudging the other. 

7n7 stared at the currently- teens? Oh wow. He hadn't realized how much older he was from Twotime.

He could have sworn The cultist was in their twenties- oh yeah. He was now years back. That.. makes sense.

He flinched, someone tugged at his shirt. Shit– he was lost in thought wasn't he? 7n7 looked at the other. weary.

“Follow us, we shall show you what you need to learn!”

“Ah- okay.”

7n7 sighed. This was going to take awhile wasn't it..?

Shedletsky was stressed– the blue child was at his mothers. Thank well himself. He's come to learn the pink one– princess? Yeah. princesses' caretaker is on a business trip. And.. c00lkidd.. 

He feels bad for c00lkidd. His father is gone.. Shedletsky has made a promise to himself to care for the child. And the pink one for as long as he must.

He thankfully was able to explain to the children how he and Telamon were one in the same.. With the pink ones.. Assistance.
He stood in the kitchen cooking dinner. He had already cleaned the ichor that spread from the fight. 

He wishes he had a chance to take 7n7’s place. The hacker would have been able to continue his life.

But no. here he was– alive. Caring for the man's children. He already misses him–

The stove was on fire. 

####. ##########-- he's burninggg the food! ####. #####-- where's the fire extinguisher—

Oh thank goodness he was able to put that out.

He will.. Just order KFC.. yeah..

✦.────˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚────.✦

“Thank you goodnight..”

Shedletsky sighed. Holding  the bag of food. 

Putting it on the table, soon heading upstairs. To get the children..

“Is papa really gone..?”

“C00l..”

“I miss papa…”

C00lkidd sat next to princess curled in his spot. Princess had a solemn expression

Shedletsky walked in just as upset. 

“Hey kiddo..”

“Hi bird man..”

‘Want some chicken? I got food.”

“Mhm..”

Shedletsky lifted the two children into his arms. Conversing aas he walked the two to the dining room. Setting the two in their respective seats. And then sitting in his own.

Shedletsky passed plates of food out. Gaze locking on.. 7n7s empty seat. Goodness is this what it feels like to grieve.,? 

Shedletsky doesn't like it. He might let his emotions run wild in SFOTH later.

yeah, that would be the.. best course of action.

C00lkidd picked at his food. Glancing up. Princess was being ravenous almost like she was starved . 

By Telamon's name he didn't know she could allow herself to eat that fast. 

C00lkidd didnt understand how he was feeling right now. He just.. Wanted to lay in bed. He wanted to lay next to his papa again… he missed his papa..

He missed his papa alot..

✦.────˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚────.✦

Shedletsky settled in 7n7’s bed.. He already tucked princess and c00lkidd into bed– or so he thought..

“Can.. we lay with you mr shedletsky..?”

“I'm scared..I usually sleep with papa when I'm scared.”

“Yeah.. c'mere you two..”

Shedletsky opened himself up.  Allowing the two children settle in his bundle of limbs and feathers

This.. is going to be a long while.. He should.. Ask builderman for help. Yeah

He’ll call  builderman tomorrow..

But now..? He will sleep. He needs sleep. They all do.
