(Shedletskys pov)

Shedletsky lived a weird life. Surrounded by the very killers that once tormented him and his friends endlessly. But that was back when he was trapped in what was basically hell. He’d escaped that now, and was now living with them all. All of them. It was a lot at times but what else could he do.

It was a sweltering hot day, everyone was sprawled out across something, be it a couch, bed, or the floor. It was almost too hot to eat fried chicken. Almost. He could never part with his glorious, heavenly, life changing fried chicken. It was so hot in fact, that two time stopped trying to convert everyone to spawnism for the first time in months.

“Dusekkar.” Chance spoke. “Can’t you just magic the heat away? You do magic stuff right?” Dusekkar looked almost offended. “No chance, I cannot magic away the heat. How about you ease your suffering by taking a seat?” Chance huffed, it was harder to flip his coin while lying down but did it anyway, sitting next to Guest on the couch.

Two time got up and sprawled across the floor before speaking with an exhausted voice. “Spawn would want us to cool down, lest the heat make us meet our ends” C00lkidd skipped into the room, holding a comically large rainbow lollipop. “Why don’t you go to the beach? You can walk there because-“ He licked the lollipop with a disgusting slurping noise. “Because we live right next to it!” “Yknow, for once I think the kids got an actually good idea” 007n7 spoke softly. Elliot visibly frowned at the sound of 007n7s voice, but silently agreed. “I agree with the kid, we should all go have a beach day” Chance said as they put their coin in their pocket.

The rest of them, too tired to verbally respond, all headed to their rooms to change. Shedletsky decided he should go tell the killers that they’re all going to the beach, but he definitely didn’t expect them to come along too. He walked down the stairs to the basement, where they all decided to live in for some reason. He looked out into the pitch black room.

“Hey guys, everyone’s going to the beach if you wanna come” shedletsky said nervously as he was greeted with A pair of green eyes. “I suppose it would be beneficial.” A disturbingly familiar voice echoed out to him. He instantly recognised it as 1x, the very being of his hatred. A more cheerful but raspy voice followed. “…I’ll go if Two times going.” A few more murmurs in the dark concluded that will all be coming along too. “Great uh…we’re leaving in 10” Shedletsky speedwalked back up the stairs as fast as he could without looking ridiculous.

A couple minutes later, Shedletsky had changed into swim shorts and was now waiting in the common area for the rest of them. He watched each one come out of their rooms. Noob, 007n7, Elliot, Builderman, Guest and Chance all emerged with swim shorts. Two time and Dusekkar were wearing the same but with a long sleeve swim shirt as well. Taph had a more loose fabric that looked waterproof instead of the usual cloth. A few of the killers also came out, being 1x, Azure, C00lkidd, and John Doe. Jason was not coming along it seemed.

“Everyone ready? Then let’s go.” Shedletsky opened the front door and walked out, looking behind him to make sure everyone was following. The survivors were at the front of the group as they walked, with the killers lingering behind a little. Expect for Azure, who was chatting away with Two time as usual. “Daaaad” C00lkidd whined. “Are we there yet?” 007n7 could’ve sworn that very question took a solid 5 years off his life, but answered with his usual tired dad voice. “Another minute of two kiddo” “But that’s like…. A million seconds!”

They finally arrived at the beach, and Guest found a spot to lie down a few towels for everyone to sit on. Taph sat in the corner of one of them as everyone put their things down and headed for the water. It was fairly easy to ignore everyone else as everyone else there was too hot and bothered to care about others. Two time took Azures arm and gently pulled him to sit in a calm shallow part of the water as they both continued to chat away. 1x was the first to get in the water, once he was stomach deep in the water they ducked their hair under and then flicked their hair back. Shedletsky was momentarily stunned from the sight but quickly shook it off.

(Taphs pov)

Taph sat with his knees tucked up to his chest as he mindlessly played with the sand to make some sort of tower before c00lkidd came running over. “Taph! Taph! I have an idea! This weird guy with green antlers and one eye said that I should bury my friends with sand! Doesn’t that sound fun?” C00lkidd was practically bouncing up and down with excitement. Taph was slightly concerned that c00lkidd was talking to strangers but quickly forgot about it when c00lkidd dragged dusekkar over to be the victim of said burying.

“Do take care to leave my head able to breathe air” Dusekkar expressed. C00lkidd started digging a hole for him to lie in, motioning for taph to help too. Soon enough, they had a small Dusekkar sized hole. Dusekkar laid down in it, sighing as they finally had an opportunity to rest from floating. Taph watched C00lkidd as he started shoving sand on top of Dusekkar. Taph looked up to see the person that C00lkidd was probably talking about before, the greenish turquoise antlers and one eye matching the description.

“Good to see at least someone listens.” The man spoke with a tired yet neutral voice. Taph gently shook C00lkidds arm to get his attention and signed ‘Is this him?’ “Huh? Oh yeah thats the funny guy!” A deep voice called out in their direction, saying something along the lines of “Meddy, I’m bleeding from somethin’ again” He then sighed and walked back to wherever he came from. Dusekkar was now covered up to his neck in sand, with C00lkidd making a rough mermaid tail shape at his feet. Not even 20 metres away, 1x was trying to drown Shedletsky.

(1xs pov)

1x was standing in the water, letting the waves lap at their legs. It was actually quite nice, he thought. Until his creator decided to throw a handful of disgustingly wet sand at him. 1x let out a roar of anger at the feeling of wet sand against her back and the sound of Shedletskys giggling. He spun around immediately and launched at Shedletsky, pushing him down into the shallow water with a splash.

“Hey- OW” 1x pushed him down with one hand on his chest firmly into the ground so that he occasionally breathed in water from the waves. “I swear to spawn Shedletsky, if you do that one more time I WILL end your life.” Shedletsky couldn’t respond, he was too busy trying to not drown. 1x saw that and smirked while pushing him into the sand a little harder. He saw the writhing admin beneath them and wondered how long he could hold his breath for. He shoved Shedletskys head under the water fully, watching bubbles of air rise up as Shedletsky struggled to get 1x off him.

1x suddenly pulled Shedletsky up at the last second, pulling his limp and chubby body against his translucent torso. “Haah…hhf…1x…why’d ya do that” Shedletsky murmured between coughs. “That was for throwing sand at my back.” Shedletsky looked into 1xs eyes with a tired look. “I forgot you’re all hate and no whimsy” “Excuse you, I can be whimsical. Now get off me you lump of chicken”

Shedletsky coughed up a bit more water before grumbling a little at 1xs request. “I said get off” “What if I don’t want to?” “I’ll make you” “By doing wha-“ Shedletsky couldn’t even finish his sentence before 1xs lips came crashing down on his, tongue immediately forcing its way into his mouth. Her tongue was surprisingly long, able to reach down his throat and by god she made sure he knew it. Shedletsky was choking on 1xs tongue before he even figured out what was happening. Just as quickly as it had happened, 1x pulled away from Shedletsky, leaving him confused and flustered.

“I- what the fuck was that?” “It got you to shut up and move away didn’t it?” “Well yeah, but I thought you hated me? You just tried to drown me for spawns sake.” 1x huffed, amusement visible on their face. “Did I? That was more…playful aggression” Shedletsky couldn’t believe that 1xs literal murder attempt was watered down to ‘Playful aggression’, but he did use to kill the whole group of them several times a day when they got forsakened so perhaps thats to be expected. “Whats wrong sheddy? You look funny. Might have to shut you up in my own way again” Shedletsky looked mildly irritated at the name before hearing what 1x plans to do and tries to hide the fact he does secretly want that.

“Run along now or I might not stop this time~” 1x teased. She was starting to get mildly confused as Shedletsky kept standing there. They pulled him by the arm right up to their chest in an effort to scare him into movie away. Instead, Shedletsky moved into their touch. “You actually want this dont you? You want to be touched and kissed by your own hatred?” “Maybe I do. You should try out that theory.”

1x didn’t waste another second, roughly pressing his lips onto Shedletskys, tongue invading once again. “Mmng- fucking hell 1x how much tongue do you have?” “Shut up and let me kiss you”

(Two times pov)
Two time was sitting in the very edge of the water, splashing their feet occasionally. They saw 1x and Shedletsky making out not even 10 meters away but did their best to ignore it. Soft crunching in the sand behind them and two hands grabbing their shoulders made them jump a little. “Relax my nightshade, it’s me” A soft slightly raspy voice spoke behind them. “Ah, Azure! You gave me a good fright there.” He removed his hands from their shoulders only to replace his touch with one of the dark purple tentacles on his back. The slimy feeling made Two time shiver, but they weren’t one to push Azure off them.

Azure sat down next to Two time, tentacle still on Two times shoulder. They could still faintly see the small scar over his heart where they had once stabbed him. “Two time? You ok?” Two time snapped back to reality at Azures concern, quickly smiling gently to put him at ease. “Of course” Azure stood up, extending a hand to them as an offer to help them stand up. Two time took his hand, standing up with his help. They stumbled a little, falling into Azures chest. “Ah- I’m so sorry!…I see the spawn has blessed you with a gorgeous chest Azure”

“My nightshade people will get the wrong idea if you keep doing that” Two time said something but it was muffled out by their face in his chest. “Cmon, better go for a swim while you’re here hm?” Two time reluctantly pulls away from Azure, grabbing his hand and moving deeper into the water. The two kept walking until they were chest deep in the water. Two time felt something brush against their leg, squealing and frantically grabbing onto Azure. Two time looked down, seeing that it was a piece of seaweed. “Youre very easy to scare, nightshade” ‘“N-no im not!” Azure snickered, he could very easily remember all of the times that he’d scared them by quickly coming around a corner back when they were forsakened.

A splash behind Two time made them turn around almost immediately. “My nightshade..I believe there's something behind you” Two time froze in shock as a fin appeared on the surface of the water. “Just stay still..itl go away” Two time held onto Azures arm, slowly backing away. They both silently sighed in relief as it turned around and went in the other direction.

“Thank the spawn its gone” Two time was still holding onto Azure for dear life, breathing heavily. Azure moved the hair in their face away with a tentacle. “Two time, its gone.” “I know I know… It just scared me.” They then took the opportunity to shove their face back into Azures chest. “Two time…you gotta stop doing that.” A muffled groan came from Two time, something that sounded like ‘nuh uh’. “Cmon wanna go back to the others?” Azure took their high pitched grunt as a yes, picking them up easily. Two time didnt complain, rather enjoying being held by Azures muscular, gorgeous, perfect…Two times thoughts were cut short by the sudden motion of Azure placing them on the sand. “Thank you Az” “Do not call me Az. Or ill call you Ti”

Chapter Text

007n7 sat high up on the beach, staring out into the water. Two people shaped objects could be seen a little ways into the water. Now that he thinks about it, they look like 1x and Shedletsky…oh. He awkwardly coughed, looking away from the two that were passionately making out. He stood up, planning to go for a walk along the beach to clear his mind from them. The light object in his pocket was barely noticeable to him, but it was enough to remind him of his past. Why do I still have it?...just in case. A soft patter of footsteps behind him and a echoey voice saying ‘daaaad’ made him mentally prepare for the worst before turning around to see C00lkidd holding a small dead fish in his hand, proudly displaying it to 007n7. “Dad look! I caught a fish!” 007n7 forced a fake smile as he carefully took the fish out of C00lkidds hand. It was slimy and wet, making 007n7 want to gag. “Oh thats…thats great kid”

“Can I eat it?” 007n7 could've sworn he just aged 10 years. “No kid, you cant eat it. Now go throw it back in the ocean.” C00lkidd took it from 007n7 and skipped off toward Two time, probably going to show them the dead fish. 007n7 decided that wasn't his problem, and continued walking along. A few people gave him weird looks, but who can blame them. After all, he is the guy that destroyed plenty of buildings with his C00lgui. That same C00lguy that's in his pocket. But he told himself years ago that he would never use it again. Never. Unless..? No no, he has to man up and push away those thoughts. (Are you man enough? Are you man enough? Are you man enough? To take the blame for this)

007n7 adjusted the burger that sat on his head as the weight of the C00lgui in his pocket seemed to grow heavier. He was a different guy now, surely people would realise that? Ever since he had adopted C00lkidd, he'd sworn to never use it again. He came up to a rock pool, sitting on one of the flatter rocks and looking out to the sea. He pulled the C00lgui out of his pocket, and it teleported in front of him and floated there, just as it had always done. His fingers glided over the screen before pressing one of the pretyped commands. In an instant, two red horns appeared on his forehead. He'd given himself them permanently when he started using the C00lgui for destruction, so they've become something that makes most people recognise him. Now he hides them out of shame.

Soft footsteps behind 007n7 broke him out of his trance, as he turned around to see Elliot. “Oh uh…hey Elliot. Didn't expect you to come after me” Elliot looked startled to see his horns and C00lgui, probably reminding him of the past when he had burnt down Elliot's workplace. He didn't say anything, just stood there standing at 007n7. In fact, it looked like he was…glitching? 007n7 sighed, it was too good to be true anyway. Elliot, the guy whos life he ruined, coming to talk to him? Not in a million lifetimes. “Give it up Noli, I know its you” He glitched more before fading into the half purple half black killer 007n7 always knew. Noli looked almost amused, glitchy laughs coming from his voidstar.

Noli walked over to 007n7, spinning the voidstar playfully. As if it wasn't something that corrupted him. Noli looked at 007n7s C00lgui, and then the tired expression on his face. Hes gonna do something to annoy me isnt he? With that voidstar. It can play glitched versions of just about anything. Sure enough, Noli turned to 007n7, the mask on the right side of his face looking more smug than usual. “A-are y-you man enough? t-to take the b-blame for t-this?” That horrid song. “Did you really pretend to be Elliot just to come over here and torture me?” 007n7 frowned, pressing something on the C00lgui to hide his horns again. The C00lgui teleported back into his pocket with a quiet buzz. “Noli. look, I know we arnt exactly on the best terms right now, but don't give people hallucination effects to make you appear to be other people.” Noli tilted his head slightly, his void crown almost falling off before he pushed it back up with the hand that wasn't holding his void star. “S-seven. Y-you did this to me. I c-cant talk properly anymore. S-stuck glitching like t-this. All because of y-you. YOU. You f-forced me to t-take the void star. Its all your f-fault.” He wasnt lying, 007n7 did in fact force him to take the void star. Said it would give him power. Now what was once his best friend is corrupted by who knows what. “Noli…im sorry, I really am” Noli looked down at him before walking away, looking back once. “The fault lies with you, 007n7”
