Chapter Text
Seven.. didn't expect anything, really.. He doesn't need as much as everyone..
Not at all, Really..
I mean.. since he found C00lkidd at his doorstep, him and Noli, were hesitant to take him in.. they were exploiters after all.. and that they were in College.. but nevertheless, not wanting the little kid to end up to an adoption center, they took the little red demon baby in together!
Noli wasn't all that convinced letting in the baby at first but I guessed he warmed up to the little red fur ball and now proudly calls themself as baba.. Yes.. Even Noli questioned Seven's naming when they called the infant, C00lkidd.. "Dud3.. D1d y0u R34LLY h4v3 t0 n4m3 th3 k1d 4ft3r y0ur P3rs0n4..?? :/" Noli spoke out with narrowed eyes "Null, Shut up! Besides it fits the soon-to-be chaos junkie.." 007n7 chuckled.. Noli huffed "Just S4ying!!"
Then from there, it just clicked, C00lkidd being how he literally changed Seven in a way he never thought he would change like this.. He always said he would NEVER change for anyone... Until C00lkidd came. Even Noli noticed the change and often point at Seven's sudden gentleness, soft appearance and lack of cockiness.. Noli was sort of surprised that Seven quitted exploiting even though they were kind of unstoppable together, however, Noli never let go of Sev.. Noli promised that they would stay there with Seven to take of the baby C00lkidd and they are NOT backing out of that promise now! Because why would they?

They are already attached to that damn red baby.. So, I guess that was the start! Noli stayed with their best friend to a baby of red fur and horns that kept calling Seven 'Mama'.. Funny thought, though! Baby C00lkidd is at least 1 years old since they took care of him! Currently Noli was taking care of the chaos making sure that C00lkidd took their pacifier or else they would.. burn the house with their fire spitting ability for a baby.. I mean guess the name C00lkidd does fit !
007n7 was out of town, getting groceries because he is a good parent.. He ignored the lingering stares aimed at him.. Whispers around him seemed smo loud even though they were quiet.. 'Is that really 007n7?', 'He looks so different!', 'Pathetic, really.'.. He thought it wouldn't get louder..
But it got louder..
And Louder..
And LOUDER..
AND—
"Seven?"
007n7 slightly jumped at the sudden voice.. It was.. Elliot? Why would he be here?? Elliot looked at him worriedly as if he didn't burn down his family's pizzeria multiple times in the past. "Elliot? I- I didn't think I would I see you here-" 007n7 chuckled nervously as he fiddled with his glasses and slightly tugged on his blue sweater.. Elliot chuckled "Neither would I! But hey, I guess it was coincidence!"
They stood there for a moment "So.. How's life treating ya? I haven't heard from you since especially since you last burn down my dad's pizzeria—" Elliot chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck as 007n7 chuckles nervously back. "I guess- Life is fine for me and Noli.. Especially for my kid—" "YOU HAVE A KID??" Elliot looked both excited and shocked. He never knew 007n7 had a kid!
"Uh, yeah— We adopted the little red goober since we found him on our porch.." 007n7 gently smiled before looking back at the excitedly shaking Elliot. "CAN I MEET HIMM?? OH PRETTY PLEASE!! I CAN HELP BABYSIT!" 007n7 was genuinely kind of surprised by Elliot's excitement and never expected this type of reaction "Really? Are you sure you're not busy?" "I always got time for a little one, oh please let me see him!" "Uh- Sure-" Elliot squealed slightly "OH! Wait! Before I forget! Here's my number! So, you could uhh call!" Elliot smiled brightly, mostly because this platonic.. for now.
007n7 gently flushed but shook it off "Uh— Sure thing-! Wait, you sure?" He smiled back "I am very sure! I forgave you a long time ago! At least you ain't burning down stuff again!" Elliot chuckled "See ya soon, Sev!" Elliot left running somewhere else probably.. "Yeah, see you soon too?" well that was a better interaction than he thought

Soon after, 007n7 came home with a bunch of grocery bags with a soft sigh as a snicker interrupted the silence. Noli stood there for a moment before then helping out Seven right after just staring at the ex-hacker. "So, I'm guessing C00lkidd's asleep?" 007n7 asked as they both unpacked the groceries "Y3pp1ty Y3p! H3 1s 4sl33p 4s 4 K1tt3n!" Noli chuckled, humming a song under their breath as 007n7 chuckled.
007n7 playing with the C00LGUI Panel as he watched Noli packed up the groceries.
"You would never believe who I met today.."
Suddenly Noli's interesting is peaked, the masked demi-deity immediately turning to Seven "0000!! T3LL M3! T3LL M3!! D0N'T ST4ND TH3R3!! W41T!! W4S 1T 4 4DM1N!??" Seven chuckled "Oh, No, no! Actually, it was Elliot Builder.." Noli's jaw dropped "N0 W4Y!" "Yes way!" Noli laughed at the top of their lungs before slamming their palm on the counter "SP1LL TH3 T34, DUD3!"
"Well, it was actually a pretty normal conversation which ended up with me getting his number-" Noli was about to open their mouth "-WHICH IS PURELY PLATONIC, NULL. BECAUSE HE GAVE IT TO ME SO HE COULD MAYBE CALL ME TO BABYSIT C00LKIDD." Noli huffed, excitement deflating "B0r1ng.. 1t w0uld'v3 b33n r0m4nt1c."
"Excuse me! I have very high doubt he would like me- Besides! You are literally looking at me like a toddler who didn't get what they want!"
"4M N0T!"
"ARE TOO!"
"4M N0TT!"
C00lkidd's cries suddenly cut off from both of their argument, Seven sighs.. "I'll go get him" Noli huffed as Seven left to go calm C00lkidd.
