Techno sighs as he watches Tommy and Tubbo yell to each other, their movements big and erratic as they follow the flow of the script, making up lines as they become those characters more and more.

Today was a lore streaming day for many on the SMP, the script Dream and others had written for them all was reaching its climax of the season, and everyone was getting more views and being seen on the internet more and more.

It was insane how much many of their channels had grown, thanks to Dream. Today however, Techno had already wrapped up his stream, and was just waiting for the two, when it had started to get intense.

Techno had to turn away though when he sees tears start to pour out of their eyes, even though he knows it's not real, it feels like it is.

Don't get the wrong impression though, Techno loved the storyline that was written for the SMP, and he's been getting more and more subscribers every stream.

But sometimes, the emotion that's put into the acting can be a bit much for the pig to handle. As underneath his tough and emotionless exterior, he was quite soft and very emotional.

Most of the time after he headed home after streaming, he would usually cry for a bit, even though it's all acting, he can't stand seeing his friends do this to each other.

Techno snapped out of his thoughts when he hears Tommy yell out even louder than before at Tubbo, his voice is full of so much emotion it doesn't even seem like he is acting anymore.

The pink haired man looks away, covering his mouth with his hand as he tries to keep the tears that are threatening to fall down his face at bay.

The yelling between the two teens doesn't stop, only getting louder and angrier, making Techno drop to his knees, his head pounding as he tries to stop their voices and the voices in his head.

"Shut up Tommy! You don't understand-"

He moves his hands to cover his ears, attempting to stop the words of the arguing teens. "Please stop..." he mutters, tears falling down his face.

What if they mean it Technoblade? Tommy and Tubbo hate each other just like everyone hates you.

Most parts of the script weren't real in any way, Wilbur, although he could be a little crazy, wasn't actually some psychopathic man, and Schlatt wasn't a power hungry president.

But, some parts were true, like how Ranboo was part enderman. Or how Techno had voices in his head, that was true, but no one else knew that is was.

"Shut up, I know it's fake, they don't mean any of it." He mutters, tears flow freely down his face as the voice in his head gets louder.

In the background, the yelling of the two die out as they finish their scenes, getting ready to end their streams as well, not noticing the hyperventilating man near them.

You don't even need to act, your a cold blooded killer, who's also crazy.

"I-I'm not crazy." His voice cracks as he talks, but even as he says it Techno doesn't fully believe his own words.

From over where the two previously arguing teens were, Philza and Dream are there, watching the two boys before Philza notices the pink haired man on the floor.

Philza frantically runs over, with Dream trailing immediately behind him, concern etching both of their faces.

Look at you, pathetic, you should just kill them now that they've seen you like this.

"No- I won't do it, please, I don't -I won't!" Techno mutters to himself, not noticing the arms being wrapped around him comfortingly.

"Shh, it's ok Techno, don't listen to the voices." Dream glances at Philza confused, but lets the older man do his thing.

Philza rubs circles on Technos back, but the human doesn't seem to notice it as he starts to shake and his breathing picks up.

"Why- what did I do? I don't want them to hate me." Techno squeezes his eyes shut as hot tears pour down his face.

His hand pull at his hair slightly, before he feels a hand on his own, pulling them gently away from his pink locks.

"P-Philza?" Techno whispers, glancing at the man who is now hugging him tightly, wrapping the younger one in his warm embrace.

"It's ok, I'm here, the voices don't command you, you don't have to listen to them." Philza says quietly, the usually stoic man in his arms cries quietly, but finally he starts to calm down.

"I don't like it when my family fights Phil, the voices get very bad then." Techno admits to Phil, who just sighs and responds as he watches the two teens waddle over.

"It's ok Techno, the voices can't hurt you when we are here. Why don't you go check on the boys while they are here." Philza says nicely, though it sounds like a question it has an undertone of a demand.

But techno stands up anyway, dusting dirt off of his cloak he waits for the two boys to get a little close before he checks on them, for their sake and for his own.

Techno quickly walks over to the two boys, using his long arms to pull the two together into a bone crushing hug with him.

"Please don't fight for real ok?" Techno mutters, his grip loosening slightly but he still pulls the two teens closer.

"Sure Technoblade!" Tommy responds after a short pause, confused with the sudden display of emotion from the blade himself.

Tubbo, just immediately hugs back, wrapping his arms around Techno as far as he can, happy with his first proper hug from the stone cold blood god himself.

Techno finally lets go of the two boys, who look up at Techno properly. "Have you been crying Techno?" Tubbo asks, looking up at the taller man.

He quickly reached up and wipes away the stray tears, before muttering an answer. "No."

Tommy cracks up in laughter, the tense atmosphere of their scene before eradicated as the boy laughs obnoxiously loud.

"HA! YOU PUSSY YOU CRIED!" Tommy taunts Techno, but stops when he sees the murderous look on his face, even though it doesn't look as threatening as he is attempting to hold back a grin.

"That's it Tommy, I'm coming for you, and you Tubbo."

"What?! What did I do- OH MY GOD RUN!" The two teens run around laughing, Techno chasing them with a sword drawn.

Even though the blood god could probably catch up to them, he still runs that little but slower, but he's having fun nevertheless.

Philza and Dream watch the three from the sidelines. "We should keep a close eye on Techno." Dream states, watching as Tommy topples to the ground.

"Yeah, I don't want him or anybody else to get hurt." Philza agrees, smiling as he watches his unofficial family run around happily.
