It's break time now.
"Hah." Elliot sat by the window, exhaling a breath onto the glass. It was cold outside, so the pane quickly fogged up.
His mind wandered unconsciously to the former hacker. After adopting that kid, he hadn't been coming to the pizza place as often... Lost in thought, his finger unconsciously wrote a few letters on the fogged-up window:
007n7
By the time he realized what he was doing, his hand even seemed like it wanted to draw a heart next to it.
Oh god, what am I thinking?!
Elliot turned his face away, hoping no one had noticed his impulsive act, and quickly wiped the glass clean with his hand. The window became transparent again, just in time to reflect 007n7 and COOKidd outside.
The little red kid seemed really happy, tugging persistently at 007n7, pulling him towards the pizza place. 007n7 bent down and seemed to be saying something to him.
Then 007n7 looked up. Their eyes met through the glass. Elliot saw him pause for a moment, then straighten up and smile at Elliot. He seemed about to say something, but then he sneezed instead.
Elliot rushed out, bringing a scarf with him, and wrapped it around 007n7's neck with a hint of exasperation. 007n7 waited for him to finish, then caught hold of his hand.
"Thanks." That voice, laced with amusement, was truly awful, Elliot thought. His heart was beating far too fast.
