Work Text:
It was late at night.
Many people are asleep at this time, but 007n7 here has severe insomnia. Poor guy tried to sleep, but the throes of unconsciousness just wouldn't take him.
Tick...
Tick...
His old grandfather clock chimed loud striking midnight.
007n7 couldn't sleep, he then got up from bed, threw on his regular clothes , and then hurriedly texted his best friend Noli to see if he was down for some fun, the "fun" as in terrorizing the silent town.
"I see you online, come down to my dorm and bring your void star." As soon as Seven sent that text,he was hit with 'seen by Noli'. No response.
Did his partner in crime just ghost him?
007n7 was bored, stupid Noli eventually replied and cancelled on him because it was "too risky". The purple idiot went soft ever since they enrolled into college, so lame!
Seven mindlessly roamed the streets until he came across a certain pizzeria. It was closed for the night, and nobody was in there.. Usually, the hard-working Elliot would sometimes stay after to watch over the place, but it seemed like he took the day off.
With a tiny grin, the exploiter whipped out the c00lgui. Maybe he'd leave a little "surprise gift" for the pizza boy when came off break.
"Heh, this place needed some renovating anyway; I'm just.... fixing things up... aahah" His confidence was wavering slowly...
Soon after, a sudden wave of hesitation coursed through him, he already got multiple warnings from the admins about his exploiting; if he did it again, he'd probably get banned.
The exploiter was on very thin ice.
For now, 007n7 ignored the internal warnings his body gave him.
He should've listened to his gut. Before 007n7 could even start spawning fire, he felt a hard, firm grip pulling the back of his shirt. Seven jolted in shock as he was being pulled up into the air.
"You never learn, hacker." The mysterious voice had an irritated, yet slightly prideful tone in his speech."You're making more work for me, I'm tired of having to clean up your 'messes'."
The hand brought 07 up to his face, staring at each other eye to eye.
007n7 wasn't surprised at all when he looked up to see the person (or admin) that stopped him in his tracks: Telamon.
"Eheh... what are you doing up so late, big bird?" A nervous chuckle was came from the hacker; a futile attempt to lighten up the situation. It was very obvious the avian wasn't in the mood for casual talk.
07 could've sworn that he saw Telamon roll his eyes. Yeah, he definitely tired of his bullshit. "I'm going to deal with you once and for all; I've given you enough warnings, mortal."
Telamon then proceeded to open up to what seemed to be like a black portal out of thin air. A wave of panic rushed through 007n7's body like a powerful drug.
"Wait Waaaaaiit!!! What are you going to do with tha—"
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!"
Before 007n7 could even finish his sentence, he was thrown harshly at the glitchy portal. Everything happened so quickly. His vision went dark for what felt like a split moment.
-
When his consciousness came back to him, he sat up and got off the couch. Was he in an office? This was surprisingly a normal setting for being thrown in a void..
"What the.. what's going on..." 007n7 couldn't remember what even happened. He was thrown into some black hole, and he couldn't summon his c00lgui. Great. One way of escape gone.
That's when panic started to set in. 07 took a look at his surroundings and then saw the gray skinned admin spinning his F3X block with one finger.
"You causin' trouble again 007n7?" Builderman walked over to him and grabbed him firmly by his hair. It didn't hurt or anything, it was just very firm.
"I'm sooorryyy!! I promise I won't do it again Builderman.. eheh...." The exploiters tone didn't sound too convincing to the burnt out admin.
"Yeah, I'm not dealing with your shit right now. You're stayin' here in the headquarters."
Wait.
WHAAAAAAT!??!!
"I can't!! I have classes to go to tomorrooowww!! The misfit missed too much school already! He was going to get kicked out if he didn't attend his classes on time.
Builderman rolled his eyes and picked 007n7 abruptly, carrying him under his arm like he was a duffel bag. "Too bad boy, you're lucky you aren't being banned."
If 007n7 wasn't going to get banned, what were the admins going to do with him?! He started to panic even more. 007n7 started squirming in his grip.
Unfortunately for him, Builderman was actually quite strong despite his looks. Must be from carrying that large ban hammer all the time..
"Put me dooooown!!" His protests were being ignored echoed throughout the building as Builderman started walking through various rooms with the hacker in his grip.
"Stupid admin!! This is harassment—"
007n7's continuous protests died down as the pair entered a particularly dark bedroom with warm orange lighting.
It looked odd? There wasnt a traditional bed, instead it was a big circular looking birds nest. It did look comfortable though. But then it became obvious who the room belonged to.
"Builderman, what are you going to do with that exploiter? I don't like random people in my room." It was Telamon. He was Builderman's partner. Even so, despite the avian's words, he didn't sound too irritated.
"Could ya' babysit im' for a bit Telamon? I'm busy with reports from roblox civilians."
Babysit?!?
007n7 was a spectator in their conversation. They were treating him like he was some spoiled toddler.
Before 007n7 could respond and question his captors, Builderman tossed him over to Telamon like he was some ragdoll. Telamon caught him out of instinct shortly after Builderman left the room..
Okay, 007n7 didn't like any of the admins, but he sure as hell would've preferred Builderman over Telamon..
Telamon held 007n7 tightly. His grasp was way, way stronger than the builder's. Telamon was kind of warm.. his big wings were brushing against 007n7's face, and they felt like personal heaters.
007n7 quickly erased the thought. He'd been kidnapped to some unknown realm for all he's known, and he couldn't use his c00lgui! Worried thoughts began to plague his mind once again...
"So uuhh.. are you going to torture me or something?" The hacker questioned, for all he knows what if Telamon decides to do something rash because he was annoyed with him? He was a god after all..
"No, you'll stay inside this room with me as punishment." Telamon was analyzing the hacker underneath him. He had dark eyebags. This signaled tiredness in robloxians. Lack of sleep must be the reason of the exploiter's doings. "You shouldn't be causing trouble this late at night. Do you sleep at all?"
Seven looked up at the god. "Why do you care? Weren't you supposed to ban me or something?" He was going to continue his ramblings, but then a yawn came short after.
"No, you're pathetic in this state, mortal." Telamon replied gently. "For now, your punishment will be sleeping with me." Seven would normally be surprised and start complaining, but he was too busy trying to keep his eyes open, the lack of sleep was finally catching up to him.
"Punishment..? Sleeping with you? Funny.." That sounded ridiculous. But then Telamon slowly followed up his humorous statement. "I'm very certain. You need sleep, mortal. You're very tired."
"What..? I'm barely even tired at all.." 007n7 attempted to respond confidently, hoping the facade would make Telamon consider otherwise, but his continuous yawns betrayed that. Perhaps he was trying to also trying to hide the embarrassment creeping up on his face trying to take in the fact that his 'punishment' was having to sleep with a literal admin.
Telamon carried 007n7 to his nest bed and plopped him down on it. 007n7 landed with a tiny bounce, Telamon shortly followed him in the nest. The nest was comfortable at least.
"Why are you doing this.." 007n7's face went pink and hot out of embarrassment. Oh Spawn, the man was really warm. Telamon had buried 07's face into his chest; his wings shortly after closing in on 007n7 from behind like a cocoon.
"Go to sleep, hacker." Telamon gently set the exploiter's head down on his chest. Telamon already knew how roblox civilians functioned. People are more docile when tired, and he observed many sleep patterns from mortals in the past.
"This is messed up.." One of his eyes were already closing, and his body subconsciously shifted against the bird's wings.
"Just fall asleep already, your ramblings are pointless. It won't make me change my mind." Telamon rested his chin on 007n7's head, casting his burger hat aside placing it on the nightstand next to the bed. (He made sure the noob spider was safe of course).
007n7 was slowly lulled to sleep, Telamon had a slow heartbeat, and he was surprisingly warm which made him even more inclined to fall asleep. Some drool even escaped his mouth signaling how comfortable he was.
Some time passed by quickly, Telamon zoned out for awhile. He didn't need sleep because was a god. He didn't get tired like normal people did. He already felt 007n7's soft breaths against his chest, signaling the other was asleep.
The door to the avian's room opened again. It was Builderman, silently making his way in. "I was checking up on ya'; seems like ya' warming up to im'." He let out a soft chuckle at the sight; his best friend looked like a mother hen disciplining the chick.
"I came to give the boy's c00lgui back, he didn't do nothin' much based off of some witnesses." Builderman pulled out his F3X block and made 007n7's confiscated c00lgui appear out of thin air. The thing levitated in-between 007n7 and Telamon. "Uh.. y'all sleep well I guess."
He was initially going to get going back to the office, but Telamon grabbed his wrist and pulled him back down.
"You need rest too, Builder."
Of course. Telamon had noticed Builderman's long work sessions.
"I'm fine Tela... lemme go.." Builderman yanked softly against the other man's grip, he was in a hurry to get back to work.
Builderman looked back at the bird man again and took a glance at Telamon's slight frown. That's rare.
Builderman let out a sigh, slowly stopping his struggles when he realized Telamon wanted him to rest. There was no escaping Telamon when he was this persistent. He was quite tired anyway, and it was an opportunity to keep watch over the exploiter on said 'punishment'.
Builderman joined 007n7 and Telamon in the nest, the two admins sandwiched the sleeping exploiter. Telamon opened his wings to make more space. Damn, even if Builderman was the CEO of Roblox, he was still damn near tired.
"Thanks Tela... I felt a lil' bad when I gave ya' work to do." Builderman's voice sounded tired and raspy. Old man needed to fall asleep already.
"It's nothing. You should stop blathering and fall asleep already."
Shortly after that, Builderman fell asleep snoring loudly. Telamon was surprised when the hacker didn't wake up to the noise, maybe he was a "deep sleeper" like he noticed in some robloxians?
While both of them were asleep, Telamon slowly pulled 007n7's c00lgui from between them and started mindlessly tapping at the settings, he was going to adds some 'tweaks' so that the exploiter couldn't hack at night.
It'd be good for all of them, maybe then the hacker could finally get some sleep instead of terrorizing others.
For the rest of the night, Telamon was busy swiping with the c00lgui while watching both Builderman and 007n7. He noticed how 007n7 slept like a baby, he looked adorable when he wasn't out destroying buildings and committing arson.
Then, he glanced at Builderman sandwiched behind 007n7. The man was still snoring away. How the hell did he fall asleep so fast?
He brushed the thought away. He then started to gently stroke 007n7's hair. The sleeping hacker leaned into the touch. It was adorable. Maybe if he was like this more often, Telamon and Builderman would have way less problems.
"Rest well hacker, we'll let you off the hook this time."
