Shedletsky ogled at 007n7 as he was sitting at a table in the main cabin, the retired hacker was standing right in from of him seeming to be doing something on his c00lgui, all focused and looking busy as if he had forgotten everything around him, just him and nothing else...
Oh, my 007n7 was just too cute when he was focused...
For what he little remembered when being Telamon he remembers how he always had an eye on the tiny hacker and had even asked Builderman if he can personally deal with 007n7 witch he was sadly denied due to killing the last hacker he seemed to go against. when he had come back as Shedletsky he not only just had to deal with Builderman now being so different he had to deal with how 007n7 had stopped hacking one day and never had saw him up until they met in this forsakened realm...
Shedletsky maybe really only did small talk to the other, but Builderman had clearly had notice how he had kept ogling the retired hacker and had made small jokes about it if it was only them together.
He remembered how he was not expecting just to see 007n7 a shell of himself but also a whole different person, gentler than tone, kinder brown eyes that was way more different, 7 also now had started to wear a blue wool sweater not like how he use to as a college student who was struggling to just live.
And don’t even forget the fact that 007n7 had a child? He may have not reacted to that badly, but he feels like Telamon would have...
He focused back in as Shedletsky started to ogle at the 7 as to other hearts started to pop up around his head with how intense his stare was “you know, you're pretty cute when focused.” He thought as he kept lovely starting at the retired hacker.
007n7 seems to freeze as his hands pause mid typing as 7n7 looked at his c00lgui for a second before giving a hesitant glance at Shedletsky, a blush crept on 007n7 face as Shedletsky mind started to scream.
,SHIT SHIT HE SAID THAT OUT LOUD?!, Why was he so stupid? He just had to say that out loud- he really just wishes that 1x would kick the door down of the main cabin and stab him right in the stomach because he is really a dumb ass...
That was when the retired hacker gave a weak smile as the blush on 7n7 face got brighter as it just felt like Shedletsky was going to die inside.
“You... Think?" 7n7 asked quietly as he turned fully to meet Shedletsky gaze as he mumbled out “yes... I do... in general I think you are the cutest...”
The retired hacker seems to only go pinker as he shuddered out and oh as the two now akwardly stare into each other eyes. That was when a hand slammed down on another table which made the two flinch as the retired hacker and past deity turn and saw Taph kneeling down as her whole body was shaking as if they were laughing no sound came out, she then signed.
‘Oh, my telamon this is so funny thing I saw today’ she grabbed at her stomach as both 007n7 and Shedletsky faces redden from embarrassed “Taph?! How- how long were you here?” Shedletsky asked as Taph whipped away fake tears as she sighed ‘long enough to hear you call 7 cute twice’
Both 007n7 and Shedletsky stared at each other before 7 pleaded “please don’t tell anyone!” Taph nodded, body still shaking as if they were laughing as she then started to walk past the two and put up a thumbs up as they quickly left each the two standing there embarrassed.
