Work Text:
The two college gay bois live together -- as they have for two years. So.. n7 ponders. Why would Noli ever invite him to his lab? For company? No, no.. to help learn something? N7 giggles to himself at that thought. One of the best hackers out there, a medium (minor? Major?) deity? Asking for his help learning?
No, no. This has to be something nefarious. Probably testing some script or something- an attack- something that you can't test alone. Though, Noli is his best friend. Real introverted guy, he only really talks to 7 and his diciples, so maybe this is just a small, multi-person thing that Noli wants to do!
He knows it's too late to decide to back out now, as 7 pulls up to the desolate lab building.
A small n' rustic factory a few miles out, the old owner was a lonely guy.. no family.. few friends.. so Noli had taken care of him to take this place. Not like he'd pay. He's refurbished the place, experiments thrown about in different rooms, all kinds. 007n7's still no clue what he could have been called here for.. this place is such a hazard..
"Oh!! 7- come're! Two doors to your left."
The soon-to-be void god is audible from speakers above n7.
"so.. What neferious code are you planning to test?"
7 asks as he enters the small room Noli is residing in. It's cozy - a couch stares centerward at a command panel.
"When have I ever tested nefarious code on you?"
"Last week. 3 months ago, for 4 days. June 30th last year..-"
"Ok man i get the point!! Well, no, actually. I needed you here to test some tech!"
"Is it nefarious tech?"
"Can you shut the fu- yes. Yeah. Sure. It's nefarious. Just come sit down, man. Center of the couch."
Noli had been leaning on the control panel, but he now leads 007n7 to sit on the middle of the small couch. The purple one walks behind the couch, directly behind n7.
"Sooo.. what is it?"
"You pissed my off so now you don't get to know."
"I swear if it's something bad you're coming home to your mattress in 118o8's bathtub."
Noli giggles quietly to himself -- which assures 7 that whatever this tech is is 100% not gonna be chill.
"Okay, turn to face the control panel."
Noli slides what feels like a rustic VR headset onto 007n7's head, the front panel appears to be tinted glass, and the frame feels like it was muddled together and then taken apart - then pur back together - then - yeah. You get the point. Edp or something.
Noli rests his hand upon 7's neck in an oddly sensual manner, attempting to find a small button, which he finally finds and taps.
"Look at the spiral."
Noli implores, 7 takes it as a recomendation, and decides to not look at the bright purple and white spiral that's.. so.. pretty...
N7 hears as noli clicks another button and another program turns on, he can hear subliminals whispering about on the headset.
"Sooo.. i call it the BrainWave harmonizer!! Relaxing? Painful? Let me know."
007n7 barely notices as his eyes gravitate towards the center of the spiral and his shoulders un-tense.
"I'm not really sure what use it'll ever have, but it's illegal to sell, and that pissed me off, so i made one. Couldn't find a blueprint, so i figured it out the old fashioned way!"
Noli's words are lost to n7 at this point. His eyes are falling near-shut as the rest of his body relaxes. The usual tension almost complrtely gone as the spiral and subliminals spin his thoughts into unusable puddles.
"My original idea was to try and interview you during this, seems like that wouldn't work, i'd guess...
Noli walks around the couch to be in front of him, cupping 7's chubby face in his hands degradingly. 7 has no reaction.
...you look so cute like this, little guy!! This'd be the ideal time to get blackmail, huh?."
He releases a drawn out sigh.
"Too bad i'm a good friend!~"
The brainwave harmonizer keeps at it's thing, vrring away 7's qualms and thoughts about this situation - every situation, really - before he even knows he would've thought it. Just a relaxed puddle of a person.
"I think I'll keep you like this for a bit. Just to see any side effects-!"
Noli was 100% getting some kind of sick pleasure from seeing n7 like this.
