Brothers.

I looked at Techno as we walked to the house. I could tell he seemed out of place. More or less lost. I could tell he was. Techno also wasn't the type to just talk and have a good time. I yawned slightly and stretched my arms. 

As we started to get into town, I saw familiar faces. I knew Ranboo knew who Techno was. I turned to Techno. "Grab my hand, quick." He looked at me weird. I made a hurried grabbing motion. I watched as Techno hesitantly grabbed my hand. 

We teleported into the house. I sighed and Techno looked around. I arced an eyebrow whenever he slowly took off his mask and set it down on the table by the front door. I heard a knock on the door and told Techno to hide in the armor closet. I slowly opened the door and was met by an angry Sam holding a small brown haired boy. 

"Sam." "Wil." I looked at Tubbo and sighed. "You're child was at the border, but this time I caught him." I looked at Tubbo then at Sam. "I'll take him." Sam grumbled and put down Tubbo. I watched as Tubbo ran by me and up the stairs. "Wil." I hummed slightly turning my head back to Sam. "You know that there have been odd sightings around the border. So either the kid stays in or stays out." I gulped quietly. "Y-yeah, okay. Thanks..Sam." Sam waved then walked away and towards the palace. 

After closing the door, I let out a breath I knew I was holding. Techno came out of the armor closet and looked at me. "I can get them down here, just don't be scared or hurt when they get on edge." I mumbled slightly to Techno. He nodded and stood behind me. "Stay here, I'll be back." Techno nodded. I ran up the stairs to Tommy's room. Tubbo and Tommy were playing chess and Phil was super vising them. "Hey guys!" Phil smiled and waved. Tommy looked up at me, gave me a glare, then made his move. "I wanna show you guys something. But don't...freak out." Phil gave me a scared look but slowly hid it. I had clearly caught the children's attention. "Follow me." They got up and started following me downstairs. 

I got to the bottom of the stairs and stood in front of Techno. "Okay now please, don't kill him." Tommy squinted at me and put an arm in front of Tubbo. Phil leaned against the banister. I slowly moved to the side and there stood Techno. I examined the reactions of the three. 

Tommy's eyes were wide and alarmed. His arm was in front of Tubbo, protecting him. His hand was at his knife. His eyes were scared and fearful. His body language was showing off his masculinity though. 

Tubbo looked confused. Tubbo's memory was pretty good but wasn't the best. He studied Techno, then it must've hit him. I watched as he slowly turned his head and furrowed his brows. 

Phil had a slight smirk on his face. His arms were crossed. Out of the three of them, he was the least threatened or scared. 

Techno looked at them and waved slightly. "Uhm...I'm Techno, well I'm actually-" He was cut off suddenly. I peeled my eyes off Tommy and looked at him. Phil was hugging Techno tightly. I smiled. "Phildon'tdothat." Tommy rushed his sentence. I smiled awkwardly. "Tommy. Techno is our brother. Ya know? Like we're brothers." Tommy looked at me. "Tubbo. Get your suit on. We have some business to attend to."

We were sat in the lounge. Techno in an armchair facing the entrance to the lounge. Phil and I on the sofa against the wall. Tommy was standing in a business suit. He legit ripped off the clothes he was wearing, to reveal a black suit and red tie. I wasn't shocked, I mean it's Tommy. What else would you expect? Techno on the other hand, has never dealt with Tommy's shenanigans. Techno looked scared, confused, and amazed all in one. I heard a loud thud and a Tubbo running into the room. Tubbo was wearing the same suit as Tommy, except a light green tie. "We mean business. So please, Mr. Techno answer Tommy's answers truthfully." Techno nodded and Tubbo stepped away allowing Tommy to take the floor. "If you are really, my brother. What's my full name, minus my last?" Techno watched Tommy's every move. "Thomas." I looked at Tommy. He stroked an imaginary beard and nodded. "My birthday." Techno looked Tommy dead in the eyes. "April 9th." I could tell Tommy was getting annoyed or confused. Tommy mumbled something, but I couldn't make out what he was saying. "Okay. You may be my brother. But if you are, do you have the thing?" Techno smiled and pulled out a pen. It was a pretty basic pen. It had a red and gold ribbon on it. Techno clicked it twice fast and it turned into a knife. I looked at Tommy. He cheered then tackle-hugged Techno. I smiled, maybe I was wrong. Tommy could get along without violence when he wanted to.
