My Life For Yours ~ Technoblaxe x oc

~ Artemisia's POV ~

I stood in front of Techno's door. I was exited to see them again, but at the same time I was nervous. Would they hate me now since i've been gone for so long? I lifted my hand and knocked on the door. I heard a muffled 'come in' from the other side. I grasped the handle and pushed the door open.

I saw him standing in the kitchen filling up a cup in the sink. I stalked over toward his direction and smiled. Once the cup was full, he turned to see who had just entered the home. The cup dropped to the floor once he caught sight of me and rolled to the side, the water now on the floor.

He stood there staring at me for a long time in disbelief. "T-Temi?" He stumbled over my name. I broke out into a smile. He ran over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist tightly. I flung mine over his shoulders and around his neck while he picked me up slightly. He set me back down but we still held our embrace.

When he pulled back, he cupped my face in his hands and scanned me over, taking notice of all the new cuts and scrapes I had brought with me back home.

"What happened?" He muttered. I grabbed his hands that still stood their ground on my face.

"I'm okay, Techno, I promise. Don't worry." I gave him a reassuring smile and he pulled me back into a hug once more shoving his head into my shoulder.

"I've missed you so much, Temi." He whispered, his breath fanning against my neck made my cheeks flush. "I've missed you too." I whispered back.

Once we unlatched ourselves from each other I looked around for Tommy and Tubbo seeing they weren't nearby. I looked back up at Techno with a questioning gaze. He knew immediately.

"They're just out back." He lead me over to the door and I pushed it open, stepping out and standing just in front of it. Techno stood behind me leaning against the door frame. The two boys were running around kicking a ball. They're cheerful laughs made me happy seeing as they were doing okay.

Tommy was the first to notice me. He stopped in his tracks and his jaw dropped. "Sissy!" He yelled out as he barreled into my outstretched arms. I picked him up and held him close. Tubbo ran over next, and I pulled one arm away from Tommy and wrapped it around the older one. Happy tears fell from my eyes that made the cuts on my face sting, but I couldn't care less.

"You're home." Tubbo cried.

"I'm home hun, i'm home." I replied through my own tears. I held onto them for a long time, not wanting to ever let go of them again. They were my whole world. I looked over their heads at Techno who was just watching our reunion. I muttered out a small "thank you" before glancing back at the boys and pulling away.

Tommy and Tubbo waited by the door with their belongings they had brought over in the past month. I stood in front of Techno thanking him over and over again for keeping them safe.

"I'm going to head back home and get these two to bed." I said looking at the two boys patiently waiting. "Can I come by when i'm done? I need to talk to you about something important." I kept my voice low. 

"Of course. Come over at anytime, i'll be waiting." He gave me a worried look before grabbing the sides of my face again and pressing a kiss against my forehead. His lips lingered against me for a few seconds before he pulled back. I smiled back up at him before turning and heading home with the boys.

Tommy and Tubbo were fast asleep in their rooms while I paced back and forth in the living room downstairs. I needed to tell Techno about everything; who I was, what I needed to do, what was coming. I just didn't know how to do it. He's probably going to be afraid of me once I tell him.

Hell, I would run away if someone told me what I was about to say to him. He needed to know. I can't hide the inevitable from him. He would find out one way or another. Taking one last deep breath, I grabbed the key from the counter and headed out the door.

I found myself standing in front of Techno's home nervous for the second time today. I ran a hand frantically through my hair before knocking quickly on the door. It opened just seconds later. I made my way inside and continued to pace.

"Temi. Please sit down. You're scaring me. Sit down and tell me what's going on." He walked over and grabbed my hand, pulling me back over to the chairs. I sat facing him taking one last breath before telling him everything.

I explained every detail about my father, the necklaces, my visions, my powers, my month long trip, the sword, Dream, what I needed to do. Everything. I looked at the ground as I spoke only looking to meet his gaze once I finished. His expression made me get up from my seat and start pacing again.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm scared i'm going to lose my brothers, and lose you. I know you probably hate me now, hell you're probably scared of me. I would be. God, you so hate me right now-" I rambled on and on before he cut me off by putting his hands on my waist and turning me to face him.

"Stop! I don't hate you Temi. I could never hate you. I don't care that you have some crazy powers. I don't care that you didn't tell me the full truth about your trip. I don't care that you have to kill Dream!" Tears formed in my eyes. "The only thing I do care about is you staying safe. Im not afraid of you, Temi! It's okay!" His grip on my waist tightened. "Goddamnit, Temi!"

I stood in utter shock. He moved his hands to cup my face and pressed his lips against mine. I didn't move. He pulled back quickly noticing I didn't kiss him back.

"Fuck i'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that." He muttered as he removed his hands from my face. I stared at him while he moved his gaze to the ground. He went to take a step back away from me.

"No. No come here." Thats all I said before I grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled his lips back against mine, this time I caught him off guard. He took a second before slipping his hands back to my waist. He tugged me even closer to him so I was flush against his body. I ran my hands up from his shirt to the back of his neck, tangling one of my hands into his hair and he deepened the kiss.

We both pulled back to catch our breath and he pressed his forehead against mine. He wrapped his arms fully around my body and held me close.

"Stay with me tonight." I whispered. I felt his head move up and down in a nod and we made our way back to my house, his hand intertwined with mine.

He's my home.
