Chapter Text
It was pretty quiet tonight. Usually you could hear Chance's horrenduous laughter or TwoTime's hushed whispers. But today. 7n7 hadn't heard a single noise as he sat lonely on the docks. He was grateful honestly. He inhaled and sighed softly and then stared at his reflection in the warm water below his feet. He thought it was funny,, how much he was despised by the other crew. They haven't said anything that rude but he was really isolated from them. Which spoke more volume than words itself. 7n7 was always taught that actions matterd more than words anyway.
He looked up at he stars up above the world,, so high in the sky. He wished he could be a star one day. People would give him the attention he craved and even call him pretty or heavenly. Yet,, a star,, just like him,, burns itself to give light to others. 7n7 is sacrificial,, he made sure nobody else would get hurt. He stood in the way of attacks when his clones were on cooldown and he used his teleportation abilities on others instead of himself. He cared a lot about the other survivors,, more than they would ever care for him. He's okay with that though. He does not deserve anything good anyways. He deserves all the bad,, the good should be treated nicely while the bad should be treated horribly. Which he is,, he is the,, 'bad' people. The ones who deserve nothing.
The stars were so pretty. He was snapped out of his thoughts and came back to reality when he heard footsteps behind him. He turned back to see that it was Elliot and not a random animal. He eased himself and let out a sigh of relief. Elliot is really nice to him even thought he ruined his life. Which he found confusing at times. But he's grateful for his kindness. Even if he never asked for it. Elliot sat quietly behind him and stared at 7n7 for a bit.
"You look tired. Have you been getting enough rest ?"
Elliot waited patiently for an answer. 7n7 blinked a few times.
"Why do you even care ?"
He mumbled incoherently. Being sort of uncomfortable with the attention.
"Pardon. Sorry what did you say ?"
Elliot was quick to apologise. 7n7 kind of panicked,, he did not mean to make him say sorry.
"Sorry it's nothing. Sleep's been really hard. I have insomnia."
7n7 tucked his hands inbetween his legs and moved over slightly to his left. Away from Elliot. Elliot frowned when he noticed the distance. He pondered a bit before he spoke again.
"You know... I'm always here if want to talk about your problems. I don't mind helping you."
7n7 turned his gaze over to Elliot's as he tilted his head in doubt.
"Are you sure..? I don't want to burden you.."
Elliot smiled cheekily. He nudged 7n7 on the shoulder and laughed.
"Of course ! I'm always here if you need me to be."
"Really..?"
"Yes."
..
...right.
