The first time he forgave Techno it was a silly little slip up , the second one was a broken friendly promise the third , after Tubbo's execution , was the hardest one , or so he thought .

Their love had started during a revolution , they found love in the strangest of places , deep in a cave filled with tired soldiers from a burned nation .
They fought along side each other , slowly falling deeper and deeper .

Techno made the first move , just before the big battle .

"We might die tomorrow" the pink haired man said , sitting down besides him inside the vault .

"Yeah , we might" he replied , voice barely in a whisper , afraid the moment might break if he spoke too loudly , he enjoyed Techno's company and was painfully aware of the love he felt for the other man , but at that moment fighting the war was more urgent than taking care of a already careless crush .

Techno seemed to disagree .

"And I know you already know but" he made a pause , letting the small pop of the water droplets falling from the ceiling fill the space between them " i like you , more than I should" .

He knew , of course he knew .

They could die the next day , he would never forgive himself if the man he loved died with a broken heart , broken by him .

"I know ... I do too" his words where small and cautious , almost waiting to be woken up for the battle , imagining this was all just a dream .

Slowly but surely , testing their boundaries , they closed every space between them , from their hands that clasped together in a poor attempt at keeping control to their lips , which met like hungry vultures .
Despite the rough start , the kiss was gentle , filled with emotion and unsaid words , words they weren't sure if they could say just yet.

They slept there , holding each other , as if it was the first and last time .

They fought together the day after , slaying enemies and calling out each other names just to make sure they where okay . Techno was a rough fighter , he was a silent one , but both of them gave up their tactics as soon as the other called , always replying .

He was happy , ecstatic even , we Dream surrendered in name of Schlatt . He was less exited to see the man drunk and dying at every word .
He broke after the goat man made some transphobic comment at the poor Fundy , who was already having a bad time .
Just as he was about to beat the life out of Schlatt the man started breathing heavily and clutching his heart , he dropped dead a few minutes later  , and as anticlimactic as it was at least he was he was gone .

Finally , he thought , finally they could have peace .

"We did it" he had said to Techno , smiling brightly at him .

The pink haired man smiled back , less exited , uncomfortable even , but he paid no mind to it , L'manberg was back .

Tubbo was chosen for president , he was surprised , he truly expected Will to choose his son.
The man knew best and he couldn't do anything about it .

Everything else happened so fast , cheers became fearful screams , Techno took Tubbo hostage , there was a explosion and whiters .

How could their happy victory become a terrifying nightmare ?

Why would Techno do that?

"Techno!" He screamed , getting the man's attention , he looked at him with guilt in his eyes .
"He's just a kid! Don't do that to him again!" The tears ran cold down his face , body shaking with anger and sadness .

"I'm sorry , it's the only way they will learn"

He felt betrayed .
Just the night before they kissed and shared their warmth with each other , was Techno just playing with him? With his damaged heart?

The man gave a speech to his little brother , who looked more scared than anyone else .

Wilbur died , Philza appeared , everything was so confusing for him , and all he could do was cry .

The battle died down and he found himself wrapped in strong arms .
Techno smelled like blood and ashes .

"I'm sorry" he didn't reply , too wrapped up in his head .

Why?

Why would he just ruin it for everyone ?

Why was he apologizing to him instead of all the other people he hurt?

Cause he was the only one that mattered to him .

"I know you loved this place , but it had to be done"

"Why?"

"I went against all that I believe in" he sighed , finally letting go " they're strong , this place is going to be rebuilt better than ever "

"But my L'manberg is gone , you destroyed it"
He had to bite his tongue to not start yelling .

"L'manberg was gon the second Schlatt took over ... I'm sorry"

"Stop playing with my emotions Technoblade"

"But I'm not , i really do love you" a heavy hand rested on his cheek , forcing him to look at the man .
"I promise you I will leave them alone now , I'll get away from them"

His heart broke a little bit more.

"And you're just going to leave now? How is that not playing with my emotions ?" He gently removed the man's hand from his face "you killed my friend ! And destroyed my home!"

"Your home was gone long ago , and your friends are alright"

"Wilbur's dead!" He regretted it the second he said it .
Techno's face dropped , suddenly remembering his brother was gone , murdered by his own father .

"That ... Yeah that does hurt" he turned to look at the big hole that once was L'manberg "I'm leaving this place "

"Where are you going?" He wasn't sure how to feel . He supposed Techno's reason was valid , but it still hurt .

"To the mountains ... Would like to come along?" Technoblade didn't look at him , still staring at the ruins of L'manberg .

"I'd like that , yeah" he also stated at the ruins .

"I'm sorry"

"I don't completely understand why you did it ... But i forgive you"

Fourth times the charm .
