Taking care of a kid wasn’t easy, especially when that kid had randomly shown up on 007n7’s doorstep. Still, the once-infamous hacker had a change of heart. He’d left his old life behind, determined to give his son the chance at a better future.

Being a single father was a whole new challenge. 007n7 found himself going through not one, not two, but three jobs just to make ends meet. And while he worked tirelessly to provide, someone had to look after C00lkidd. Not just anyone, though, he wasn’t about to trust his hyperactive son to some lazy teenager. No, he needed a responsible adult, someone who could pick C00lkidd up from school, feed him, help with homework, and just keep up with his boundless energy.

That’s where you came in. From the moment you stepped up and offered your help, 007n7 couldn’t imagine hiring anyone else. Even C00lkidd adored you.. what more could he ask for?

Still, he hated making you stay so late. Driving home in the middle of a brewing storm, his tired eyes struggled to stay open, the rumble of thunder the only thing keeping him alert.

When he finally unlocked the door and stepped inside, his limbs felt like lead. The warm, familiar space of his home greeted him, and when he spotted you tidying up the table, he figured you’d already put C00lkidd to bed after dinner.

“Thank you so much for staying so late again” he started, his voice thick with exhaustion. “I’m so sorry to keep you waiting— I swear I’ll pay you extra. My boss had me cover for a coworker, and—” before he could even stop himself, he was rambling. Again. If you didn’t cut him off, he’d probably keep apologizing all night.
