Chapter Text
5 AM
It was simply the same as every morning in the cabin. Only three people were awake at this time, Guest 1337, Elliot, and 007n7.
Guest 1337 and Elliot were working out together, it was normal for Guest 1337 but not for Elliot. Typically by now Elliot would be opening the pizzeria, but of course since he’d been forsakened he couldn’t exactly do that.
007n7 was in the kitchen making breakfast for everyone, he did so every single morning without anyone even asking. Nobody really knew why he did it most assumed it was to get on the good side of the group.
In actuality it was because he was used to getting up before work and cooking for himself and c00lkid.
He would always ask his son what he wanted, the answer was always the same. C00lkid had always wanted pancakes. So 007n7 grew used to making them every morning. He had also grown used to cooking them a bit differently for everyone else, Shedletsky always got Chicken and Waffles, while he usually gave Two Time kids silverware made of plastic just incase, he made Guest 1337 ones with broccoli mixed in to try and help him keep up shape, the rest didn’t really get anything special since they didn’t necessarily require/ask for it.
So here 007n7 was, making breakfast at five in the morning while he heard Guest 1337 and Elliot working out together. Elliot was struggling a bit because he wasn’t exactly on the same level as Guest 1337.
6 AM
Footsteps, slow and groggy, heard through the halls as everyone else woke up. Guest 1337 made sure everyone was awake by six just incase a match started so they’d be aware.
Chance was the first in the kitchen and he saw 007n7 still cooking, having already given Guest 1337 and Elliot their breakfast. Chance noticed something he hadn’t before..n7 used his tail as a third arm somewhat. The man was using it to mix up some more batter.
Chance just sat down without saying anything, then Shedletsky, then Dusekkar, and slowly everyone had filed into the kitchen and 007n7 was handing them plates of food.
7 AM
They were all talking about whatever, and 007n7 was sipping some coffee not paying attention to the conversation.
Until he heard something,
“Why don’t we talk about our lives before we ended up here? I mean we do know the basic stuff but…what if we knew a little bit more? Could help us work better together in matches!” It was a suggestion from Two Time, and suddenly everyone was staring at 007n7. He shifted uncomfortably, “…Why are you all staring at me like that?” He said quietly and Shedletsky piped up, “Well, we don’t really know you. Just what you did in your past, and we’re curious.”
007n7 sighed “What is it exactly that you want to know about? Hm?” He stated bluntly and Chance smirked “How’d you get a kid? No offense but I have a hard time believing that they’d let you adopt a kid.”
007n7 hesitated before he answered, “He was left at my doorstep..and I decided to keep him.”
Everyone went silent as they realized one very important thing, if c00lkid had been left for 007n7 to find then that likely meant whoever did so intended for him to harm c00lkid.
“I know..I know why he was left there okay?” 007n7 muttered and he sat down. He hated thinking about that, he didn’t even know how his life would be if he had..
He never wanted to imagine that, imagine how much he’d miss out on. He wouldn’t trade his son for anything in the world, even now. Even when he knew that c00lkid was unintentionally hurting people. That was his baby..
“Okay..um how about..what were you doing when you got forsakened?” Two Time said trying to break the silence that had fallen on the room. Elliot wanted to stop them from asking, he knew, he’s the one who had found 007n7 after all. It’s part of why he couldn’t bare to see the man dead. It made him feel sick.
“…I killed myself.” 007n7 stated flatly, and the room grew quiet once more and slowly the conversation moved on. But something was different in the room, almost like everyone had come to an agreement..
