Trinity (Dream SMP) Book 3

Chapter 5

"Gather, nerds!" Technoblade called. He was standing on top of one of the dirt huts and staring down at everyone who gathered closely. Although he had said Dream and Tommy were kings beside him, he knew that they really weren't but he wasn't going to say anything about it. "I have you standing here for two reasons, first, the new kids have requested to join and after seeing how happy they are here, I will allow it." 

"Thank you, Mr. Technoblade!" Fishy called.

"Thanks Techno!" Fox called. The others all shouted their approval, even the ones who hadn't been part of Squeesh's little gang. 

"Also, we have started building the houses and we would like as much help as we can get, Tommy, Tubbo, Squeesh, and I will help with one house while Fundy, Ranboo, Dream, and Sam help with the other. The rest of you make yourselves useful and join either group." Techno said, sliding down the dirt hut and landing beside Tommy and Tubbo. 

"Hi Squeesh." Techno couldn't help but notice how awkwardly Tommy approached Squeesh, with Tubbo practically glued to his side. He snorted and moved away, leading his group towards L'manfield. 

"Right, Tommy and Tubbo, since you're standing two inches from each other's faces, you can start placing these wood-" Techno started.

"I'll work with you, Squeesh can do my job," Tubbo said quickly. Tommy shoved Tubbo with his elbow and hissed at him but Tubbo just grinned and stepped towards Technoblade.

"Uh, ok," Techno said. "Squeesh and Tommy can do the wood, Tubbo and I will do the cobblestone." Techno showed them the design he had in mind for the first house and they got to it quickly. 

The sun was high in the sky by the time they had reached the point of doing eth roof and Techno heard Tommy and Squeesh start laughing suddenly. Techno turned and saw that Tommy had fallen and some wood had fallen on him. Techno smiled as he saw Squeesh help him up and they laughed for a moment longer before putting the wood back in place. Those two... He thought, shaking his head. He saw Tubbo staring at them happily and wondered what was going on between them.

"Mind telling me what's happening exactly?" Techno muttered to Tubbo. 

"Oh, er..." Tubbo looked at him, his blue eyes wide. "Uh, Tommy kinda likes Squeesh." Tubbo shrugged, looking away awkwardly. Techno felt himself grinning as he turned to look at his brother. Really? He thought. "Don't tell him I told you, he'll kill me," Tubbo added quickly.

"Oh I won't." Techno snickered. "I wonder how this will play out." He added happily, watching as Squeesh helped Tommy move a board up and nail it in place. They look so good together now that I think about it. He thought. I hope it turns out well for them. 

Techno sighed as he slumped into bed. He was finally sleeping in his own house. No Dream, no Tommy, just him. The two houses had been finished today leaving Tommy and Dream to sleep in one while Techno had the other to himself. He had declined at first, saying someone else should have the house and he could build his own but everyone had seemed to think that a king deserved his own house. 

Dream had especially built a throne in the middle with a surprising three rooms, one on either side. He was in the bedroom while the other room was a bathroom. Dream had asked if one single sleeping room was enough and Techno had actually laughed. It was more than enough, no one needed a throne room! Not even him! He snickered slightly at the thought but he did appreciate all Dream's hard work. And all the others that had pitched in. 

The moon had well risen by now and Techno turned as moonlight filtered in through one of his windows. One of my windows. He scoffed. Who needs multiple windows in one room, goodness gracious Dream. He thought with amusement. Techno stiffened as he heard a noise. It was like the sound of a wooden board bending beneath a foot and Techno reached towards his bedstand slowly. He always kept an armor stand by his bed because you never know when someone's going to attack you in the night. This might be the night. 

Techno stayed silent as another board creaked and he held his sword above his chest in case of attack. As swiftly as ever someone landed on his bed, his sword making a clanging noise against the attacker's ax. Techno pushed upwards, flinging the person backward and getting to his feet.

"Nice try," He growled. The person said nothing, clearly baffled that he was awake. He caught the outline of someone wearing a hoodie and narrowed his eyes. He couldn't see what color their hoodie was because it was so dark but the person charged forwards again, this time managing to catch him on the chest with their ax. He let out a huff of pain as a wound in his chest opened up and after a moment the blade sliced only inches from his throat. I have an assassin. He realized. Someone wants to murder me! 

He flung all his weight to the side, narrowly avoiding what would have been a fatal blow, and landing awkwardly on his back. The person neared him, holding their ax to the sky and Techno thought it was all over. I'm not going down that easily, Tommy still needs me. Techno pushed himself to his feet, deflecting the blow with a grunt of effort and pinning his assailant to the wall. The attacker was shorter than him for sure and he found himself staring down at them. In a matter of moments, they were gone, sliding from his grasp and bolting for the door. They're fast! Techno thought.

"You get back here!" He snarled, glancing around. He heard a yelp and saw the person trip and fall before rolling to their feet once again and darting away, most definitely gone. Technoblade fumbled for a light switch and turned on the lights, staring around in shock. He was breathing heavily as he stumbled towards an armor stand that had fallen over, probably the thing his attacker had slipped on, and stared down at it in horror. Waving in the breeze of an open window was a small piece of lime green fabric.

Ummm... Dream?!?! OwO What in the name of the actual heck just actually happened? Why would Dream try to kill Technoblade? Was it because he didn't appreciate the house? Maybe it was that he called him a doggie and then a kitty... maybe he was mad Techno beat him in a fight. DREAM?!?!?! Ok, I'll be quiet now... UwO
