[ sigh we cant go one fanfic without yoi :sob:
i think im getting better at making the stories less fast paced which is so jolly joyous :DD hi zero
7n7 is in his early 40s and guest is in his mid 50s BLEGGHGHHH old man :broken_heart: ]
guest looked around the cabin, sighing as he sat down on the couch that was sat in front of the fireplace. he failed to hit a punch and of course that's what landed him back in this stupid cabin. he stretched, letting out a huff before hearing a groan from behind him. swiftly turning around he realized it was 7n7, he remembered seeing the survivalist near the area when he... yeah. guest gave him a small wave, 7n7 smiling and waving back, looking away and walking over to the seats next to the stairs. guest always noticed the way 7n7 was kind of distant from the rest of the ssurvivors, but it never really settled in because he was always focused on something he thought was more important whenever he noticed the younger man's distress.
guest wanted to try and talk to him, but he never actually held a conversation with him despite being stuck with him here for what.. was it a year already? the veteran shook his head, has it really been that long?.... yikes. well, it was whatever now as he was already standing up to go sit next to the survivalist.
7n7 was a little confused, guest never really showed interest in him. he moved over to give the other more space to sit down, a little nervous, his mind spiraling to the worst situation that could happen. he was about to actually start getting paranoid, before guest spoke up.
"you ok?"
that.. was not what 7n7 was expecting. his eyes widened a bit when he comprehended what guest said to him, and he didn't really know how to reply, well, physically he was okay, but he didn't really know about mentally. his mouth was slightly agape, as he tried to think of a answer, guest letting out a awkward chuckle as he added on to his original question.
"uh.... you don't have to answer if you don't want too, i've.. just been noticing that you've been.. a little out of it recently? if that's what youd call it."
"oh- sorry.. uh, i'm fine... i guess."
7n7 spoke with uncertainty, shrugging while talking to display that to guest. pushing up his glasses a bit as guest moved closer to him, the older man studying his face.
"mhm... you know, if you ever need to talk to someone i'm here.."
"i know not a lot of the others "like" you, but.. i don't really have a opinion on you. i mean, you seem pretty nice, uh.. they've told me about what you used to do, but you were young, and.. people can change..?"
guest actually didn't really know what to say, this was his first time in awhile trying to comfort someone that has a history like that. 7n7 just stared at guest, his glasses cloudy so it was a little hard for guest to see the emotion in his eyes. 7n7 never really had someone say that to him, so it caught him a little off guard. trying to think of a reply, he felt guest's arm wrap around him, which actually made him feel... a lot better. it had been awhile since... anything like this was shown to him. not that he was complaining, as he was already sorta leaning into guest slowly.
"i think i'm fine... maybe another time. i kind of... just wanna stay like this for a bit."
guest nodded his grip on 7n7s side tightening a bit as he (not so secretly) tried to move closer to 7n7. he was honestly trying to rest his head next to the ex-ploiter's hair, the latter noticing after a few seconds, letting out a small chuckle as he lifted his burger hat off, setting it aside himself. guest taking this as an opportunity to not only plant his head on 7n7's, but too take his other arm and start fully hugging him, it was a little uncomfortable for guest because of the way he was twisting his torso to do this, but he didn't mind that, as long as he got to be closer to the guy. 7n7 let out a sort of gasp noise, laughing a bit at guest's quick movements, admiring how the hug was ever so loose so 7n7 could push out if he must.
letting the older man rest in his hair, 7n7 began to relax, smiling as he rested against the veteran, letting out a small hum as the other began to fall asleep. it was cute, guest never really got physical contact and neither did 7n7 so it was great for the both of them, and it made the survivalist realize he might have some new opinions about guest, like... he was strong, really strong, 7n7 always expected that, but he wasn't rough like how 7n7 thought it would be like, it was clearly more gentle and caring, and honestly that was the main thing that 7n7 was blushing about since its been so long since anyone showed him affection, especially when it was so... thoughtful. after a few moments, he started to feel and hear guest's sleepy breaths, letting out a sigh as he shifted sideways, doing a pretty good job at not moving guest's arms or head while doing so, and wrapping his arms around his waist.
right as 7n7 began to get comfortable, he heard the commotion of the other survivors from the dining room, blocking it out before realizing what it actually was. by the time he had cared enough to start and pull away, shedletsky was already standing there holding his laugh back like an idiot. thankfully everyone else was to busy chatting to each other at the table, and shed had just so happened to wander over. 7n7's face was bright red, looking up at the admin as he tried to pull away, kind of stuff in guest's strong arms.
"pfffft- whats all th-"
"shut it... don't... mention this to anyone... please-?"
shedletsky sighed, hunching over in defeat like a child, before quickly getting over it. rushing off, shedletsky gave 7n7 a quick wink before basically lunging himself at builderman. finally, guest began to wake up, yawning and holding 7n7 closer to his body. the other smiled softly, beginning to speak up so guest would notice that the rest of the survivors had gotten back.
"uh... we should probably... yknow..erm."
"can we move to your room...? im sure dusekkar wouldn't mind me."
7n7 nodded at guests words, standing up as the older man let him out of the hug and reaching out his hand to help him up. the two rushed up the stairs, the others survivors too busy bickering about how shedletsky was messing everything up during the round, at least thats what 7n7 gathered from overhearing.
slipping into his room, 7n7 almost yelped as guest toppled him over, pushing the explioter into his bed and resting on top of him. 7n7 was being crushed under the half asleep mans weight, but he really didn't mind. feeling guests breath on his shoulder was nice, and the way his arms wrapped around his head made 7n7 happy, eventually noticing that the veteran had fallen asleep on top of him. it was probably gonna be uncomfortable the the time 7n7 woke up, but he had started to fall asleep too.
