Their Story ❤💚💖

Surprise? [Pt 2/3]

Quick note from the author before this starts. I had some serious motivation issues while writing this amoung IRL issues going on. I truly apologize it took so long.
Let's call it a New Year's Special, hm?

    Techno looked over at his boyfriends from where he sat on the couch. It had been a few days since they told the hermits about them, and they had been talking about telling the Sleepy Bois next. 
   "I think I should tell them on my own first." 
   Grian and Dream both frowned and looked over at him. "Why? This is something we should tell them together." Grian’s voice asked.
  Techno grimaced a little. "They are very chaotic on a normal basis, you guys know how that. I'm just not sure how'd they react with something so big."
   "I don't care, we should be there for this." Dream insisted.
   "They're my family, they'd want to hear it from me. But I don't know how they will react and it's probably best for you guys to stay here while I tell them on my own first. I think that’s the best approach to this."

  The argument lasted for a good while before Grian grabbed Dream’s arm with a small look in his eyes that Dream knew meant he had a plan. Oh boy.
  "Fine, you can tell them yourself." 
  Techno was a bit surprised by the sudden change in opinion, and admittedly a bit suspicious, but he gave each of his boyfriends a kiss as he went to walk out the door. "I'll be back soon, and then we can tell the rest of the SMP." 
   After he left, Grian turned to Dream with a smirk. "C'mon let’s go." He said, taking Dream's hand in his own. "We're gonna follow him."

   Techno arrived at his family's house with a small smile that hid the subtle trembling in his hands. He was nervous, but also excited. 
   He knocked a few times and Phil opened the door. The older male broke out into a big grin and pulled Techno into a hug. "Techno! It's been too long since you've come over!"
   Techno went to respond when Phil got hit in the back of the head with a pillow. After a moment of shock, Techno chuckled and Phil sighed. "Come inside, Techno. I'm sure the other two will love to know you're here."
   Techno nodded and followed his dad into the house. He was met with the familiar sight of Wilbur and Tommy bickering, the latter standing on the couch holding a pillow like a weapon while Wilbur argued with him. Tubbo was cheering Tommy on, but he was also hiding behind the couch so he wouldn't get caught in the crossfire.
   "Tommy! Get down! You can't stand on the damn couch!"
   "WATCH ME BITCH!" Tommy yelled in response, throwing his pillow at his older brother.
    Wilbur ducked and the pillow went over his head, hitting Techno instead. Both of his siblings went silent. 
   "Well, now you've asked for it," Techno replied with a grin, chucking the pillow back at the youngest. 
   "Pillow fight! Pillow fight!" Tubbo chanted as he grabbed a pillow off of the couch for himself, throwing it over at Wilbur.
   Phil stayed back by the door as pillows were thrown across the room, Wilbur and Techno establishing a truce since Tommy and Tubbo had started working together. 
  Things always were chaotic in the Sleepy Bois household, and it only got more so when the eldest came home. 

   Eventually, the pillow war ended as Tubbo ended up getting his pillow stuck on top of a bookshelf, Tommy lost his own somewhere in the chaos, and Wilbur ended up facing off against Techno and losing badly. Blood for the Blood God.
  "If you want to beat me, train for another 500 years!" Techno exclaimed, knocking Wilbur in the head one last time with the pillow. 
   Wilbur laughed as he took Techno's hand and pulled him to the ground beside him. 
   "What brought you home, Techno?" Tommy asked, walking over. 
  "Oh, I had something to tell you guys. I guess I got caught up in the battle."
   That got a chuckle out of everyone. "Well, we're here to listen," Phil said, grabbing down the pillow on top of the bookshelf. 
   "Hey, Techno? Did you bring along Dream and Grian?" Tubbo asked from over by the window. 
   A chorus of "What?" came from the family, Techno getting up to look out the window. 
   Sure enough, Grian and Dream were in the driveway, just barely visible as they were behind some trees. But it was still obvious enough to get them spotted. 
 
   Once they noticed Techno at the window they quickly moved behind the side of the garage, but the damage was done. 
   "One minute," Techno said, heading out the door. 
   "You think he saw us?" he heard the hushed whisper of Grian ask as he approached. 
   "I'd say there’s a good chance," Techno responded, turning the corner. He didn’t miss the way they jumped at his sudden appearance. "I thought we agreed I'd do this alone?"
   Dream looked down at the ground, but Grian stared up at Techno, a determined look in his eyes. "This is an important thing, we can handle the chaos."
   Techno went to speak before Dream interrupted him quietly, backing up Grian. "Besides, we want to be there in case things get too overwhelming for you.”
   They were silent for a moment, the two a bit worried about how Techno would react. Said male sighed a little and wrapped them in a hug, calming whatever nerves they had. At least, the nerves about Techno's reaction. 
   
   The trio stayed outside for a short while before heading inside once again, this time with all three of them. Tommy had taken to draping himself across Wilbur, who had sat on the couch and getting pushed off onto the floor before repeating the process. Tubbo must have left since he wasn't anywhere to be seen. Phil sat on the other end of the couch chuckling at the siblings’ small fight. He looked up at the door hearing it open.
   “Oh, you’ve come back in! And you brought Dream and Grian. Nice seeing you two!” He greeted the two kindly.
    Grian smiled and returned the greeting, Dream doing something similar. Techno cleared his throat. “I, uh, actually have something to tell you guys. Well… we have something to tell you.” 
    Tommy stuck his tongue out at Wilbur as he was once again pushed onto the floor. He turned to Techno curiously. “What is it, Blade?” He asked, moving to sit on the armrest beside Phil.
    Techno took a deep breath, also being comforted by a small hand squeeze from Dream. He sat down on the chair, Grian sitting down beside him on the armrest. Dream remained standing.
    It was quiet as they waited for Techno to prepare himself before the silence was interrupted by a laugh from the youngest member of the SBI. “Blade, you know if you killed someone you can just say so, man. I’ll just have to update the ‘Days since last nerd death’ sign in the kitchen and we’re set.”
