November 9th

***

While flipping through my planning, I discovered that the 9th of November was Saint Theodore's day so let us celebrate it in the name of our favorite side character Hacker by making him suffer like a thousand men.

(I honestly find it funny how I usually dislike fanon stuff but once the subject of this lad comes up, I am unstoppable.)

This one-shot contains heavy head canons that exist for the sake of making him miserable so please do not mistake them for canon information.

This was inspired by a fic Jay published on Tumblr, go check it out!

Enjoy your reading!

Warnings: Mentions of self-harm, toxic [Colton x Hacker], violence, strong language, mention of sexual activities, implied pedophilia at one point and verbal abuse (self-harm shaming etc).

Synopsis: "I heard that little Theodore made a mistake in his coding this morning." was a sentence that Hacker had been dreading to hear all day, hidden under blankets so thin they were almost see-through.

Of course, Colton would not announce his presence beforehand by knocking on the door, way too fond of seeing the other flinch when called upon, especially for a reason such as this one.

"..." He almost wanted to snap at him to leave him alone but while he could be reckless, he was no idiot and knew talking about would only worsen his punishment or death if they were planning to get rid of him.

After all, he was only kept around because he was useful, but he was not the only hacker in the multiverse, they could get another one like him or even more valuable. In short, he was an expandable tool.

So, he kept quiet, lips pressed into a thin line.

Hacker and Colton, despite having some embryo of feelings for each other, did not get along in the slightest.

They fought often but considering the former could always order the latter's demise, their little bickering always ended in favor of the one nicknamed King, no matter if said one was in the wrong or not.

Hacker did not dare comment on the unbalanced power dynamic, in fear he would go through one of his favorite threats: killing him.

Of course, Colton knew that and often teased him about it but in the end, it always ended the same way. They would get rid of the problem under the sheets and that would be the end of it.

Or at least, that was how their fights usually ended.

Their last fight, the one that put an end to their odd relationship and an end to Hacker's involvement in the gang was particular in the sense that neither party expected it to escalate that way.

The 9th of November.
