Anti-Love: Technoblade

Chapter 12

A/N: vote, comment, tell me how it is!

     "I actually spent a long while building all this you know I hope you like it." Techno flustered, cheeks heating up. Avaline grateful for his dedication, "thank you so much! It's beautiful! I absolutely love libraries and all! It's amazing". Little did she know that Techno would absolutely blow up a nation for her. In minecraft of course. Unless.

     "Thank you thank you, follow me ma'am." The pair walked over to the makeshift table, each of them claiming a chair facing each other. "So I really hope you like history, mythology all those things or else this will be very awkward."

     "Yea! I'm quite interested in that sort of things, why?"

     "Well wait right here let me locate one of those barrels." Avaline waited patiently as she watched him bounce out of sight. After a second of him vanishing, he comes bouncing back with a book in hand.

     "So I wrote a bunch of these stories and things in these books. Should we read some together?" Techno was very excited to share his favorite stories with the person sitting across from his character.

    "Yea of course!" Avaline was over the moon, enjoying every second of their minecraft date. The amount of dedication put into the date was absolutely baffling. She made a mental note to ask him out on a special date soon.

     "Alright. Oh so this one is about the story of Theseus." Avaline giggles, thinking about the many references of Theseus in the storyline of the Dream SMP. "Welcome home Theseus.".

     Technoblade slightly caught off guard, not realizing that she would watch his streams. "Ah yes. So basically Theseus, the son of the Aegean  ruler of Attica, went to slay the Minotaur. He was supposed to be part of the seven kids and women year. He got a ball of yarn from Ariadne, daughter of Minos. She gave it to him as a present because she actually fell in love with him..." as Avaline listened attentively, she couldn't help but imagine that he was reading to her in real life. She wanted to be able to touch him, watch him as he read out loud, and play with his hair as he did. "So he managed to kill the Minotaur, and he sailed back home. But here's the plot twist. It could've been a happy ending if he didn't forget to change the black sails to white sails. The white sails meant that they won. So of course they didn't, his father saw the black sails and jumped off a cliff into the ocean. What a nerddd"

     Avaline's eyes widened, not expecting the dark turn of events. Whining, "What the hell? That's such a dumb endinggg" Techno laughs in agreement, "hey I'm going to stop the recording so we can actually talk and get to know each other hm?".

     Happy and eyes sparkling, she enthusiastically agrees. After Techno did what was necessary, he turns his full attention back to the person he's smitten with. "So hello Avaline, I really hope you liked what I put together. I had to ask for Twitter's help earlier."

     Shaking her head, "hah I saw that earlier and that was hilarious! It's weird seeing people actually giving good advice you know?"

     "Yea. So what's you favorite color? Mine is just red."

     Laughing, "Pfft, like the blood of orphans?".

     Happy that Avaline knew his humor, he responds with a playful tone, "Exactly."

    "Wow how surprising? Well mine is darker shades of blue. Love them so much."

Techno quickly writes that into the notes app of his phone. "Oh that's pretty cool."

     "Yea it is! Oh also, do you have any siblings?" Avaline was brimming to the top with curiosity, jumping at the chance of getting to know more about him.

     "Well I have a younger sister. She's pretty cool."

      "Ohhh that's really nice! I'm actually a middle child!" Techno knew that he was absolutely whipped, being filled with warm emotions hearing the joyful girl speak.

     Debating for a minute in her head, Avaline hesitantly asked something that was on her mind for a while. "Not to be creepy or anything but like I know you live in the US, but what state? You don't have to tell me if you're not comfortable of course.".

Techno asked debated with himself about if he should disclose this sensitive information about himself. But he trusted her to a point that he eventually decided that it wouldn't hurt to tell her. "Uh New York.". (A/N yes I know, it's for the author's convenience keke).

Avaline's eyes widens, a bright smile washing over her face. "Me too! Damn the chances of living in the same state! We can literally meet up anytime! Well traffic is for sure annoying but we'll make it work! Well unless you want to of course."

Taken aback from her sudden burst of positive ranting, "Well everything is going great today." "Yea i agree! But let me ask you this question.... think carefully alright?"

Technoblade becomes hesitant, slightly intimidated by the sudden drop of her voice and dead serious tone of voice. "Go ahead?"

Avaline deepens her voice, and slowly questions, "who do you love?". Techno couldn't help but laugh, not expecting a question like that. He expected something so serious and deep that his answer would dictate the direction of their growing relationship.

     "Ah what a strange question. I guess my family? I'm not a big lover guy". Techno internally cringes as the lacking response he gives. But it's true, he hasn't really loved anyone other than his family.

     Avaline nods, understandingly. "Ohh that's pretty nice." Avaline didn't have many thoughts about his response, it was the regular response most people gave.

     Hoping to lighten up the situation, Techno jokingly says, "maybe I'm just anti love".
