Chapter Text
N7 turned depressed thinking 1x was dead. He didn’t wanted to perform but he HAD to. Shedletsky knows his on depression but just stares at him… doing nothing. If he does something to help n7, n7 will obviously push him more away than ever.
N7 wears a collar on his neck and black clothings.
Shedletsky wears white clothing and a white jacket.
N7 grabs the mic and starts, “ Allow me, to the tips of your fingers. Allow me, to the ends of your feet.” While he sings, the score board shows his name. The aliens glazes at n7, gossiping how he is the ugliest contestant in Alien Stage. N7 hears the gossip but chose to ignores it. He continues, “ Dissolve me in your gaze. I don't want to let you go.”
FLASHBACK!
N7 was forced to sing in front a lot of aliens by his guardian, H4ck3r.
“Please, leave me in scars”
N7 stood there until there was a microphone forced on his lips. He didn’t wanted to sing and didnt obey which made H4ck3r very frustrated. H4ck3r stood up and threw a glass of bottle at him.
”Please, hurt me so that—“
H4ck3r grabs his mouth and makes him look at a wanted poster. It said 1x missing or dead?
”Not a single drop of me remains.”
N7 didn’t liked what he saw. He then—
“Let me drown in you.” Punched at H4ck3r.

N7 grabs the microphone and sings loudly, “ Until these falling stars. Are buried in the blur of time.” He was tired of singing but kept on going.
FLASHBACK FOUND!
It shows n7 was laying next to his bodyguard. His bodyguard was playing with his hair.
”On your icy lips.”
N7 brings his hand out and sees a faint 1x reaching out for him. He was hallucinating.
”Read my soul. Yes, my soul. Oh oh…”
END OF FLASHBACK.
Suddenly it shows baby n7 with a collar on his mouth. He was in a cage. He was getting sold for 50% off. Then it shows Shedletsky looking back at n7. Shedletsky’s eyes looked tired.
When n7 was unconscious, Shedletsky opened n7 collar with his finger and looks at him calmly.
Shedletsky turn.
He sings, Even your cold words, carve scars beneath my eyes.” While he sang, he grabs the mic with two hands and continues , “ May they linger on your tongue. You can break me apart.” It shows the score board again and his name, Telamon.
START OF FLASHBACK.
When they were young.
Shedletsky was stepping on N7 flowers which made him angry and slaps his face.
“Notice my pain.”
Shedletsky was on top of n7, punching him softly and smilingly as he punched him. N7 was pissed off. Shedletsky lets go and laughs. It then shows n7 drawing Two time and Shedletsky staring at his drawing.
“And mend me right now.”
Shedletsky was bored and finally looked at n7.
Shedletsky was touching the alien thingy teeth’s, looking at it.
“To quiet my fears.”
Shedletsky is seen stalking n7 and 1x by the corner.
N7 was sleeping next to Shedletsky and Shedletsky touches his face without permission.
“I’ll drown in you.”
It looks like they were escaping Alien stage.
Shedletsky sings his heart out “Sick of these nights to come! To be engulfed in silence.”
Shedletsky looks at n7, thinking his looking at him but wrong. N7 didn’t wanted to look at him, not even once. Shedletsky was disappointed.
N7 was practicing something with his fingers.
“In your gaze where I’m seen.” Shedletsky touches the back of n7 collar. It brings back to the first flashback. Shedletsky holding n7 cheek.
“Consume me.”
It seems Shedletsky was comforting n7 and glazing him.
“Yes, me, oh oh.”
END OF FLASHBACK.
N7 sings, “ To this everlasting melody…!” The aliens looked at Shedletsky and 007n7. Shedletsky adds, “Face to face we dance.” Shedletsky looks at 007n7. 007n7 looks down and stops singing the lyrics.
“With our story.”
Shedletsky knocks his microphone down and walks towards to 007n7.
“Lost in forever’a embrace.”
Shedletsky puts his hand on 007n7 cheek and makes him look at him. 007n7 was surprised. Shedletsky then pulled him into a long kiss. His hand goes behind his head, forcing him to kiss him back. 007n7 tries to push him away but fails immediately. Shedletsky grabs his head and kisses him more.
007n7 closes his mouth, feeling uncomfortable and not wanting to kiss back. Shedletsky made a plan on the spot. He then choked 007n7. N7 thought Shedletsky hates him and wanted to kill him on the spot so he closes his eyes. Shedletsky gave a kiss on the mouth and looks at the score board.
He sees his score is going down 90 to 70. He again gave a kiss. The last kiss. It looks like Shedletsky was choking him more harder.
Shedletsky got shot by the arm but didn’t let go. He got shot on the side of his chest then another one on his arm but still didn’t let go. Shedletsky was scared. He didn’t wanted to die but realised he was doing this for n7.
Then… blood started pouring out of his mouth. For the final moment, he looked at n7 and smiles. But It was a different kind of smile. His real smile. His smile that he always fails to achieve is here. A real smile on his face. He lets go of n7 neck. N7 was puzzled and looks at Shedletsky. He first puts his hand on his own neck and sees Shedletsky falling. Blood coming out of his mouth.
Shedletsky then said, “Thank you for being the victim of my shallow emotions.” Then Shedletsky is finally in peace. Goodnight Shedletsky 😝😝. You will be missed
N7 was sad and scared. It was raining today and blood was mixing with the rain water. He just. Looked at his body.. standing there. Doing nothing. He didn’t cry or anything. He just stood there.
He won by 89-70.
