Tired, that’s how c00lkid felt. That’s almost all he had felt ever since him and the others came back. How else was he supposed to feel, after all, his body had been mangled and stretched to its limits by the Spectre to make him look like a monster, forcing him to kill his father and the other survivors over and over again.

He himself didn’t know how to describe the feeling, he wasn’t feeling truly sad, and he couldn’t feel guilt since he was being possessed by an interdimensional eldritch horror who convinced him that killing people was the same as tag, sure he believed the Spectre back then, but who could blame him, he was 9 for god’s sake. Over the years he’s been able to come to terms with what he’s done, kind of, he still feels bad.

Even more so after his dad went and got together with 2 of the survivors and a freaking mafia boss, but at least he’s happy, that’s what c00lkid tells himself to drown the guilt caused by his reckless actions. Sure, nobody at his high school knows about what happened, or his dad being in a polycouple, but the guilt still eats him alive.

Most days all c00lkid could hear was static and silence instead of his friends’ conversations and [BEEP] [BEEP!!]... What?
[BEEEEEP] [BEEP]
…Seriously, what is that noise?
[BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP]
Actual bloody hell, can that alarm STFU?!
Wait…
Crap! THAT’S MY ALARM!!!!!!!

Oh… You’re wondering who I am? Riiiiight, I didn’t tell you, I’m c00lkid, the now 16 year old who got tricked by an eldritch horror to kill people when he was 9, I also burned down the workplace of one of my dad’s boyfriends various times, try and guess which one. Anyways, yeah, this story is about me and how I McTimeTraveled and witnessed my dad managing to get not one, not two, but three boyfriends, and also helping everyone escape from Robloxian hell, kind of?, but yeah, anyways…

As soon as I woke up, I shut that motherfu-(wait is this fic PG?) alarm clock off and get up, man, my room’s an absolute mess. No time to think about that, I need to get ready. Me, bluudud, and pr3typriincess are going to open this time capsule I found in my back yard. It’s dated to before the whole, hell thing… I’m kinda excited to see what’s in it.

I changed into an oversized hoodie and baggy jeans and head downstairs, wanting to rush out of the house quickly to not see my dad being all lovey-dovey with his boyfriends, I’m not against it, just feels a little embarrassing to see your dad and his 3 boyfriends showering each other with affection at 6 in the morning while you now vividly remember dismembering some of them very clearly and the sounds of their bones snapping and blood rushing down their mangled corpses…

But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, first things first I have to get the time capsule out of the ground because I procrastinated it until now. I tried to sneak down into the garage, but Elliot managed to catch me.
-“Kid! Where are you going? I just finished making breakfast!” He beams with positivity, even though my dad and me basically became terrorists toward his workplace in the past. He gets closer to me, still wearing the dumb apron my dad got for him, one of those that say “kiss the chef” on the front.
-“I was just going over to the garage to get a shovel, I need to get my time capsule out of the ground” I respond… enthusiastically? I still don’t really know how to feel.
-“Oh yeah, want me to drive you? Your dad’s busy repairing the fence with Guest and Don… Er, Mr. Sonnellino. I’m free today, just tell me when you’re ready OK?” He talks to me happily, maybe a bit forced, I can’t really tell even though I wish I could, seems like he’s just nice to get me to like him more since he’s with my dad now… I just wish it didn’t look like he tried so hard for me to get him to like him.
-“Sure, I’m just gonna take like 15 minutes, don’t worry…” I Respond rather quickly before basically sprinting to the garage, not wanting to be in that awkward situation anymore.

As soon as I’m in the garage I quickly search for the shovel before making my way to the backyard and starting to dig where bluudud had felt it with his metal detector. It doesn’t take long for me to find it, I dust off the excess dirt and tuck it beneath my arm. I walk back into the house, making sure to not get the floor dirty.
-“I-I’m ready?” I freeze as I see my dad and Elliot kissing on the countertop, oblivious to my presence. My embarrassment evident as I quickly make my way to the front door. -“I-I’ll see you outside Elliot”
I wait outside patiently for a little bit before Elliot comes out -“S-Sorry you had to see that kid” His smile falters a bit as he clears his throat “Ready to go?” I nod quickly before getting on the back of his bike. He quickly drove me over to the park where me and my friends decided to meet up. “Just give me a call when you need me to pick you up ok?” I nod before getting off the bike and walking a little before turning around “T-Thanks for bringing me here…” I speak quickly before making my way to the table where my friends are, noticing the small smile Elliot gives me before driving back to the house.

I sit down and slide the time capsule to the middle of the table “Well, bluudud, did you bring your pliers?” I look at him, my face serious “Yeah dude, I’m not gonna miss an opportunity to bully you with baby pictures and drawings” I roll my eyes before seeing pr3typriincess start to arrive “pr3ty! Over here” As soon as she sits down, bluudud takes out his pliers “Chat, are you ready?” “Dude, nobody watches your streams stop talking like that!” pr3typriincess smacks his head lightly before taking bluudud’s pliers “Hey!” bluudud tries to get his pliers back before pr3typriincess rolls her eyes “Dude, you’re too slow, I’m taking initiative now” I move the time capsule closer to her so she can snap the rusted chains off.

“Well, let’s see what’s inside now” I carefully grab the time capsule and open it, dust filling the air. “Ok, 6 years doesn’t seem like enough time to gather this much dust” I quickly take everything out of time capsule and spreading it on the table “Let’s see” I hold up a blurry picture of my dad “Not a bad shot for a nine year old I guess” I pass the other objects to my friends so they can see.

Bluudud holds up a drawing I had made that seems way older than from 7 years ago “Dude, you sucked at drawing what even is this?” pr3typriincess tugs on his hair “Dude, it’s a drawing he made as a kid, don’t expect the freakin’ Mona Lisa!” I roll my eyes as I grab the time capsule again, noticing a weird USB looking device inside “That’s weird, this looks like one of my dad’s coolGUI addons, but he only started making them this year, I even helped him design them” I stare at it more, noticing how old and decrepit it looks “Great minds think alike I guess, but I don’t recall putting this in the time capsule” bluudud just looks at me with a deadpan look “You made this thing like 6 years ago, plus we went through that hell together, of course you don’t remember. “Whatever, I’ll just connect it to coolGUI once I get back home and hope I don’t get a virus or something.

After a while, we finished looking at the contents of the time capsule, bluudud giving his usual nasty remarks and pr3typriincess reprimanding him for it. It was almost dark out when I called Elliot to pick me up. It took him a while to pick me up, but I took that time to inspect the coolGUI addon again, noticing its weird grooves and patterns.

Elliot finally arrived after a small while, I tuck the addon into my pocket before making my way over to him “Sorry, did you wait long kid?” He smiles sympathetically “No, not really. Don’t worry about it” I mumble quietly, feeling guilt wash over me before I get on the back of his bike, feeling the wind rush against my face, not noticing how quickly we get back to the house.

As Elliot and me make our way back into the house I see my dad laying on the couch with Guest and Mr. Sonnellino, I don’t know why he makes me call him that, maybe he’s just not that acquainted with me or something, I don’t dwell on it too long before making my way to my room. Deciding to test the weird addon that was inside the time capsule.

-“Well, let’s see” I take out my coolGUI and connect the weird addon onto it, navigating to open the addon’s menu to open it, feeling a sense of dread as it takes time to load.
[Decrypting… 70&]
[Decrypting done :D]
Ugh, he forgot his dad had coded little smiley faces and other emoticons into his coolGUI. At least now he could open whatever programs were on the addon.
[File menu]
[OQFSSG.exe]
[Top_secret_yaoi.txt]
[Men_Kissing_4K.png]

Only three files, I don’t really want to have on my conscience that I opened files labeled “Top secret yaoi” and “Men Kissing 4K”, and I mean, my dad taught me how to get rid of a virus originating from a .exe so the safest option is to just open that one.
[Opening OQFSSG.exe]
[Program requires administrator permission]
Shit, didn’t expect that, whatever, it’s not like someone dug out my old time capsule to implant a coolGUI addon with a virus, so here goes.
[Administrator permission granted to OQFSSG.exe]
[Program message: Time to go to hell tihihihihihi >:3]
...
...

Glowing, why the hell is my coolGUI glowing. Umm, this is not good, I try to open my door but everything starts shaking. “Shit, shit, SHIIIITTTT!!!” I start to get dragged to where I dropped my coolGUI, struggling to grab on to anything before another message pops up in front of me.
[Time for you to go back to hell]
Before I can react I feel myself getting sucked into the coolGUI’s screen before I start to fall, only seeing a dark sky.
-“What the hell is going on!” I land with a loud thud in front of a cabin I know all too well, seeing the same people that I knew inside before noticing a certain tomato colored insult to humanity.
-“Oh hell, I’m back in literal hell…”
I walk forward a little before feeling a small backpack hit my head, I rub my head before checking its contents “Well, this doesn’t seem too bad for my kit, oh wait, yeah, I have to kill people again don't I.” I pick up the backpack, making my way over to the cabin’s door, breathing softly before knocking on the door weakly.
- “At least I now know how to escape, the hard part will be getting these animals to listen to me”
I wait for a little before a familiar figure opens up the door “We have some new meat, you failures of humanity” I missed that voice, but not it’s words or vocabulary
- “Can I come in?” I try to drive his attention back to me, enjoying the warmth of his neon green glow.
- “Whatever” He opens the door wider for me “I guess we should introduce ourselves, I’m 1x1x1x1 but you can call me 1x, and that’s- wait, your skin looks a little familiar…” I feel him get closer to me, feeling his eyes roam over my face, and my very exotic? skin color, sure it's dulled a little over the years but it's still a similar shade of red when compared to when I was young. "Could you please wait a second?" I see 1x make his way over to the stairs before yelling "Hey kid! You ever have a brother or something?" I grimace as I hear his words, knowing exactly who is going to come running down those stairs.

... I hate this hell even more now.

Chapter Text

So, quick news. I'm gonna be kinda leaving this fic since I want to rewrite it to me more focused on horror while still being about romance. I do plan on keeping the title but I want to rewrite it since I couldn't find any ideas for the original way this was going to go, so I want to rewrite it with new ideas I have. Sorry for the people who mostly wanted the fluff, but I want to rewrite it to be more focused on horror since I find it a lot easier to write horror and feel like I can truly express myself that way
