Chapter Text
Nerves were tense to the limit, actually not as much as the first time they were there. It's just... 007n7 would call himself shameful and unclean if he admitted that as soon as the adrenaline and despair subsided, the first thing he thought about was the lack of damn rice on his plate. Although now he was worried about something else.
He silently, perhaps too, too much, watched as his son chased the survivors around in a circle. He could help, but... His eyelid fluttered. In fact, he would say that he spent a very, very, damned lot of his nerves and energy raising his son! Seriously, he tried more than ever to ensure that his hyperactive son did not slide down the same crooked path that he had in his youth. Therefore, now watching how the now teenager aggressively runs after the survivors with a red and black panel, his eye begins to twitch even more.
-Ha! #### - Kid screams. Definitely a dirty word. Definitely a very bad curse word. Definitely which he heard from 1x. Because earlier he heard how the embodiment of hatred cursed Shed in the same way. His eye twitches again. Especially when his son throws the same Shedletsky to the ground and, for fun, clearly rolls him through the mud before trying to pierce him with a sword.
His eyelid twitches more often. Like some sinister hidden timer. Because...
-#####! - Kid screams again, a different word, and it was clearly heard again from 1x. And clearly addressed to Shed. 007n7 seems to hear something deafeningly bursting, and it's not even the unfortunate survivor who, by some miracle, is still alive.It is his own patience that is shattered into fragments. At first he was glad to see his son, at the very beginning of his stay here, then he denied that he was a murderer on the street, then he hated it, and then he cried. Now... It was acceptance. And anger. Kid laughs loudly and kicks Dusekkar in the knee when he tries to help his colleague. 007n7 feels his eyelid begin to tremble.
-C00lkidd! - He... Yells. So loud, in fact, that it makes not only the red teen, but all the survivors combined, flinch. Especially Elliot, who somehow instantly dives behind the Guest. Everyone looks confused, but something else causes them even greater shock.
Killer... Shaking. They all clearly see how Kid's whole body begins to shake. Shad, who conveniently took the opportunity to crawl away and stand up, even noticed how the teenager's red skin was covered with goosebumps, betraying his sincere horror. He sees best of all how truly sincere horror is reflected in the demon’s inky black eyes.
007n7 is approaching quickly, but he is not running, rather walking. No one could say that they had ever seen a hacker in such a state. Because his eyes are wide open, and one of them... is twitching. It was as if he had a nervous tic. Chance, which the other passed by, could even swear that he saw the veins on the other’s hands slightly bulging from tension.
007n7 stands almost directly in front of the killer, without fear. Because obviously, the demon himself is now scared, who begins to shake even more violently, as if he saw death itself.
-Pa... - He begins with difficulty, clearly trying to mitigate the sentence that is inevitable.Although many of his memories were hazy, but this moment... His body reacted faster than his brain. So he flops down on his butt in horror when he notices his parent bending over to pull a shoe off his foot.
007n7 softens for a second, because this is still a son, just under bad influence. And he, led by this quiet tenderness, still stops taking off his shoe. For some reason, two sighs of relief are heard, not one. The guest looks blankly at Elliot, who is holding onto his waist and looks as if he has gone through a crisis more serious than pursuing a killer. However...
-Time. I need your sandal - 007n7 turns his head and asks, his voice is softer, but still extremely serious. Two Time reacts... Quickly. Perhaps too much, in any case, he doesn’t even think why. He was on good enough terms with the former hacker that he obediently removed the flat sandal from his foot and passed it into the hand of the other. Kid instantly becomes so terrified that he begins to crawl away on the ground. The guest also notices how Elliott grabbed his waist even tighter, immediately hiding back behind him.
All the survivors present are still looking at this with extreme confusion. However, questions disappear as quickly as new ones appear.
007n7 approaches his son, raising his sandal to not so hard, but noticeably slap it on the back of his head. It is unlikely that he did any damage at all, given that even punctures with swords and daggers only slowed down the killers and did not cause significant damage. Although this does not stop Kid from howling in horror, as if they were trying to boil him alive. But surprisingly, this is enough for the teenager to be so horrified that he even seemed to turn pale. Perhaps a little more and he could pass for a Princess.
-What did I tell you about expressions?! - Seven screams, although it sounds more like an angry growl. He picks up the sandal and slaps it on the other person’s back again, although from the outside it looks more like a pat, which makes the scene look damn comical. Especially considering that Kid immediately begins to hiccup in horror.
-I won't! I won't! I won't do it again! - c00lkidd almost screams, trembling all over, and looking guiltily at his father. He wraps his arms around his legs and himself with his powerful, spiked tail, looking more than ever like an ordinary child who has been caught in disgusting behavior by a strict parent.
-What did I tell you about your behavior!? - Seven again grumbles angrily and loudly, it seems his irritation subsides quite quickly, but this does not stop him from spanking his son on the back again. Which causes Kid to hiccup loudly.
-Be polite and responsible! And don't hit others, because I'm stronger! - The teenager whimpers loudly and protractedly, clearly already terrified, completely unaware of what is happening around him.
Seven exhales, his gaze visibly softening. His upbringing sits too firmly in his bones to be erased so easily.
-And you should... - He begins calmly, smiling slightly in a warm motherly way, bowing his head a little. He looks so amazingly cute...
-No! I won't apologize to the chicken! - Kid also notices that the parent has become calmer, so he immediately tries again to push through the strict, but rather easy and fair rules. 007n7's deceptive calm disappears instantly.
-Ay! Ay! Sorry! Sorry! - The killer screams in horror when the elder extends his second hand and grabs him by the horn, not painfully, but noticeably and pulling him along with him. Kid is forced to stand quickly, whimpering and groaning loudly as his father drags him somewhere to the side. Thus, he finds himself directly in front of Shed, who, like almost all the survivors, was in such shock that he could only silently watch it.
-Well! - 007n7 grumbles with displeasure, quite furiously, as if disobedience has again ignited some damn explosive fuel inside him. Shed can see for sure that despite the whining and fear, the teenager is looking at him with a very very familiar hatred, not as strong as 1x's, but familiar enough to know that the other clearly had a hand in this. Maybe even both, considering how much this guy hates him. In any case... Kid is pulled by the horn and a slight whistle of air is heard when he is already being hit on the back with a sandal.
-Sorry! I won't call you names anymore! I'm sorry! - Kid is dissatisfied, but declares loudly, grinning with all his grotesquely sharp and large teeth. He's clearly not very sincere, but that's something, given the context.
-AND. - 007n7 is still unhappy, his voice is cold and heavy, this is clear even from the single sound he made, pulling his son’s horn again. Kid groans loudly and pitifully, but this does not bother his parent.
-I'm sorry I hit you! And I'm sorry that I kicked your colleague! - The killer expresses displeasure, like a small child folding his arms on his chest and puffing out his cheeks. Only then is his horn finally released, which, however, did not cause him any damage, even if he was still a child and not a killer.
Seven exhales, feels like one of the main irritants inside him has disappeared and his soul suddenly feels so good that he is almost ready to faint. Instead, he pats his son on the head, quite carefully, because he really hasn't been naughty all that much. Kid immediately stops whining, and seems quite pleased with this, wiping his snot and tears with his sleeves.
-Dad will bring you some sliced fruit next time - "Seven mutters, more out of habit than in reality. Because that's what he always did when he got into a little fight with his son.
c00lkidd relaxes completely, he is almost about to hug his father when he can only catch air. He opens his still wet eyes in shock, noticing that he is sitting on the carpet in the living room of the killers' hut. He was bawling, snotty, and it seemed his back was hurting, although none of the guards really hit him there.
-Ugh - Of course, Bludud is the first to react, because this guy always does this.
-Fe - The Princess wrinkles her small nose lightly, also noticing his sloppy appearance.
Kid silently looks back at them, he sniffs loudly, and then just thinks ominously. Anyway. Sooner or later, they will also fall for his father, who, to his happiness and misfortune, has simultaneously returned to normal. He may not be their father, but actually for one he is a guardian, and for the other he is a named uncle. So they will get theirs too. Kid can hardly hold back an ominous laugh, because he needed to somehow survive this shame.
