It's not fair...
Ever since that stupid red pill baby cursed Seven's life, he completely did a 180! He barely touches his GUI, dropped out of college to to support the little shit instead, and he just... goes soft and stops hacking?Just like that!?
And whenever Noli asked, begged for them to hang out, he always comes up with ridiculous excuses...
Changing his nappy?
It wouldn't take five minutes.
Running out of baby formula?
He could just ask him to summon some.
Or that parasite just couldn't stop crying??
Send him to a daycare or whatever.
Like COMEE ONNN... What else could be better than GAME NIGHT!?
It's just not fair at all!
<n0li> yo u free rn
<007n7> uhhh yeah! c00lkidd's in daycare rn :p
<n0li> heck yea. im comin over >:]
And there Noli sat slumped in his couch. This is one of the few times he ACTUALLY listens to his advice and let him come over. Seven said something about having to take a call from someone, leaving him alone in the living room... so Noli drifted away in his thoughts.
The past few weeks haven't gone so smoothly for him, college assignments, missing deadlines, shitty professors, and getting rejected by j*b offers... while Seven here seems like he's living his oh so domesticated and stuffy life.
Not to mention, he brings up that hellspawn wayyy too much, it's overbearing. That little fetus gets allll of his tender fucking love and care.
Well, it's not like Noli doesn't know how hard it is to take care of one, even though he was heavily against taking the baby in, still he had offered help time and time again.
But why can't he just spend more time with him? Just the two of them? Just one day? Is he selfish for wanting this?
...Is Noli less important to him than that child?
"Hey, Nols! I'm back- oh."
Noli had been crying, and he only realized it now. His head feels all mushy, his face wet and hot, and he couldn't think properly. The tears just kept running down his face as he tried blinking it away.
"S-sev... hic." The hacker's arms immediately wrap around Seven, burying his face in his shoulder.
"Uh... hey... what's going on? Why are you crying, Nols?" Seven awkwardly patted his back.
Noli whimpers, trying to think clearly, but he's having so many big feelings, "d-do you... sniff luv m-me... Sev...?"
"Hm? Of course I love you, what makes you say that?"
"...more than c-c00lkidd?"
Seven paused for a moment, realizing he hadn't been spending time with him, too focused on c00lkidd.
"I... love you both equally-"
"Hmph-!" Noli huffed and whined. "B-but y-you play with c00lkidd all the t-time!!" His hands gripped harder on his shirt.
"N-No fair..!!" The hacker sobbed louder. "Okay! Okay, shhh... shhh... I know you're having big feelings right now so, let's take deep breaths."The caregiver gently rubbed his back in small circles. "Can you do that for me?"
Noli only gave a grunt in response.
"Here we go, close your eyes. In... and out..." Seven's soothing voice slowly calmed him down. "That's it, just a few more, okay?" The regressor nodded, feeling relaxed already.
Not so long after, "you feeling better now?" And Noli finally looks up to him, wiping his tears.
Seven's hands run through his locks. "Hey, I'm sorry for not spending enough time with you lately, and um, I just wanna make sure, do you feel... little?"
"Mhm..."
"Well, how about I make it up to ya? We can play games, watch TV or do something else that's fun?" Noli's eyes lit up at his suggestion, cooing excitedly.
As they headed to his room, Noli notices c00lkidd's crib, toys, blankets and a bunch of other cuddly things that he's jealous of.
"Look what I got!" Seven pulled out a brand new pacifier, handing it to the regressor as he giggles, "tank yu, papa!" Noli happily took the paci and contently sucks on it.
"Um... I wan... nappy too..."
"Good idea, kiddo! Wouldn't want you having an accident now would we?"
While Seven was looking through the drawers, he paused, realizing he only had baby sized diapers, not the big kid ones.
"Ah... sorry Nols, I don't have any big boy nappies..."
The regressor frowned, but soon got an idea. "Suh-mon... nappy!" He spawned his own GUI, but is having trouble typing the right code... "Papa, help!"
"Heheh, sure thing kiddo, lemme just..." His fingers fly onto the keyboard. Working on Noli's GUI made him remember the good old days of hacking between him and Noli. But that's in the past now, he should focus on what Noli needs in the present.
After a few lines of code, a pack of big diapers appeared before them. "You did it, papa!" Noli laughs and claps playfully, ready to put them on.
"Alright kiddo, lay on the bed for me, kay?"
The caregiver wipes his bum with wet wipes then firmly straps the diaper in place. "All done! Whatcha wanna do now?"
Noli points to the toy box, "play!"
Seven chuckles and opens the toy box. "Take a pick, anything you like?"
The regressor picks out some building blocks, some Robloxian minifigures, a drakobloxxer plushie. "Rawr!! Heheheh!"
The two spend playing together, building towers, knocking them down and causing chaos in their little space.
"Ahhh!! The dinosaur is gonna eat me! Run awayyy!!" Seven playfully runs around with the Robloxian minifigure, trying not to get caught by the drakobloxxer Noli's holding. "Oof-! You caught me! Annddd I'm dead, blehhh!!" Noli giggled after.
"No, no... I'm a fwiendly dinosaww! Let's play tag together!!"
"Okay!"
After quite some time, Seven yawned. He looked at the time and it was getting pretty late. "Hey, kiddo. You wanna tidy up and get some sleep?"
"Nuh-uh... wanna keep playing..."
Seven thought for a second. "Hmm... how about I read you a bed time story, and we can cuddle together in bed?"
Noli nodded, not wanting to admit he was also sleepy himself.
Eventually, the place was tidied up, and they both got into bed. Seven turned off the lights and kept a moon shaped night light on. He gives Noli the paci, and took out a book as he put on his best storytelling voice.
"Alright, Nols. Let me tell you the story about The Wonderful World of Oz..."
Seven had a funny way of narrating Dorothy's journey to the Emerald City, keeping Noli entertained until his eyes were slowly drooping, and drifted off to sleep, still holding onto Seven's arms.
"Oh, but anyway, Toto, we're home. Home! And this is my room, and you're all here. And I'm not gonna leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all, and—oh, Auntie Em—there's no place like home!"
Seven shuts the book with a small satisfying thud. "The end..."
"Sweet dreams, my little star~"
