Chapter Text
Fire surrounded one of the many buildings belonging to Builder Brothers Pizza,slowly burning off all the life and colour off of the bricks and of the minds of people.Tons of robloxians flooded out of the establishment,some being cooked alive,some being trampled over with their bones breaking under the force of others,some getting pushed further into the building by the crowd.The fire spread further and further,staining the building in colourful shades of black.The admins still weren't here,the people being saved by a singular worker,the only worker in the entire pizzeria.Chaos spread with the fire,running faster and deeper into the veins of the pizzeria.Laughs boomed above the cries,mocking them with lies that struck too deep in this time of vulnerability,leaving scars far beyond human comprehension,taking root as if it was a plant,replicating the structure of their lungs to make the muscles tense and scream.The worker paid no mind to it,focused only on getting the robloxians to safety.The pair of robloxian floating above this seemed to get bored and teleported away,leaving Elliot to do all of the work,because of course the admins wont do anything.The manager let Elliot go home,despite of the incidents people still came to this pizzeria and the pizzas wont make themselves.

He was alone at his house,his sister was still in school and if he remembers correctly his father was at a meeting.Great.The house seemed to be clean..nothing needed to be done and he could appreciate a walk. He grabbed his coat since it was chilly outside and opened the door to see..the hacker that burned his fathers pizzeria today walking into a dorm.How did he not get kicked out of college yet?..Whatever
.Elliot sat there,on his porch looking at the door for a while slowly zoning out. He saw the dorms door being opened and 007n7 being warmly welcomed with a hug by what Elliot assumed was his roommate. As soon as he realised he was staring,he picked up the pace and walked away in the direction of the park he usually went to with his sister. His legs moved on their own,knowing every pebble that sat on the sidewalk,every crack and uneven brick,avoiding falling with ease.His eyes,even though they knew every corner and crack of this city, were still able to find beauty within the way the wind played with the branches of trees and bushes,how the dry and colorfoul leaves crinkled under his feet,the wildly colourful mix of the sunset,the fresh and chilly air around him,the houses surrounding the park letting out the sounds of people laughing….Elliot smiled to himself.The world truly was beautiful,wasnt it?
When he made it to the pond,he searched his pockets for sunflower seeds he always carried on him. He.. He didnt have it. ..he left it in his employee outfit!….. He didnt really have much else to do,did he?His mind was much clearer so he allowed himself to go back to his house.The walk back home wasnt that interesting..except for its end.007n7,the hacker that burned the pizzeria that day,was cussing out his..gui??panel thingy?? for not working.Elliot ran up to him,maybe he could help?
“Hi! Could i help you with anything?”
007n7 let out a very manly yelp.
“N-nope! Haa….come onn…work damn ittt…!!...”
“Whats not working?”
“UGHHH My burn command!”
“What were you trying to burn?”
“Your house obvi? Why else would i be standing in front of itt dipshit?”
“Woah no need to be so mean!! Maybe your buddy can help you?Im already here so….it isnt very good for you to burn it is it?”
Elliot was met with a snort.
“M’kay..m’kay im going before you cut my life into pieces :/”
“Baiii!!!”
“Fuck you twink”
Oh well.007n7 may be mean but Elliots sure hes gonna change one day!His sister still wasnt home,probably at her friends house…might as well make himself some tea and watch tv….
While he was boiling water for tea his father returned!
“Good evening dadd!!”
“Hi.”
Not much conversation was shared for Elliots dad quickly made his way over to his office..like always.
Elliot didnt pay much mind to it,he had grown used to it, and turned on the tv.All of the channels were either about the recent attack on his fathers pizzeria or cartoons….it was so boring!He didnt have any homework..(his dad signed him out from school from how bad he needed employees)...he had made himself lunch for tomorrow…he really didnt want to doomscroll,most of the time he ended up staying up too late and being tired in the morning…but oh well….one time wouldnt hurt right?
It didnt hurt actually! It prevented him from being hurt.Apparently the pizza place was hacked again and this time 17 people got hurt…and his manager didnt let him stay home. He was told to come clean up as punishment for being late.The place was wrecked.A wall was destroyed half way and everything was stained in black..the entire place had to be entirely rebuilt right?!
Wait.
His manager..his manager didnt expect him to rebuild the entire building…right?
“So Elliot,i expect this to be done tomorrow.”
He was so cooked….well he would be if 007n7s roommate didnt show up.They wore a mask on their face,a white one that seemed to mimic their emotion with purple swirls all over it,a purple hoodie with slightly chewed up string and very skinny black jeans.Their hair was void black,carefully made into dreads.
“Hey,the names Noli.Seems like my roommate put a soda in one of yalls ovens?May i help rebuild it?”
“Oh of course…any help would be appreciated! My names Elliot,nice to meet you…”
They spent hours repairing it as the “c00lgui” as 007n7 dubbed it was..horribly coded to say the least.
“Why is the code so bad??Not to be offensive but….you know..”
“Ah.I wrote this thing myself,007n7 was too busy writing an essay to help me.”
They coded?Thats so cool!
It was done.After 7 hours of hard work it was done.Elliot got on his knees to thank him.
“Chill out man,best i could do to repay you for my friends doing,gotta get him to lock in sometime”
“Oh again i thank you…..thank you!”
Each went to their own house,Noli arriving with the thought of confronting 007n7…except the poor gay laid on the floor with half an essay done.Did he hit his head?No matter how much Noli poked him or called out his name,he didnt move an inch…he was breathing but….it was shallow and his heart seemed to beat weakly. He couldnt call anyone…maybe…maybe Elliot would help?Though 007n7 did burn his pizzeria…he needs to help him. He lived in the house infront of their dorm right?Noli grabbed their coat,lazily put on his shoes and went out,almost tripping on the stairs.
“Hello?What do you need?”
“Is… is um Elliot home? I want to hang out with im in my dorm…”
“ELLLIOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT A friends going out with you! Get here!”
It didnt take long for them to arrive at 007n7s and Nolis dorm.007n7 was just dehydrated so they made him drink some water.Elliot didnt want to make 007n7 more stressed as he suspected that also was a reason why he passed out,so he came home.
It was getting pretty late…007n7 wouldnt mind if he laid down next to him right?
