Technoblade is not a light sleeper, but something climbing through his window at three in morning woke him up. He sits straight up and dangles his feet off the edge before standing as well. He grabs his baseball bat and turns to his window, but is met with a man with green eyes and a white mask. His nerves relax as he sighs. He sets his baseball bat back down and sits on his bed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
Dream sits down next to him on the bed. Techno isnt sure why his neighbors here, but he knows it probably isnt a good thing. Dream pulls his mask down and gives Techno a shaky smile. If Techno had his mask on right now, he wouldve pulled it down as well. Since he doesnt have it, though, he just frowns.
What do you want, Dream? Techno asks. He really doesnt want to be bothered right now. He hasnt slept and he has school in three hours. Dream is interrupting his beauty sleep and Techno isnt having any of it.
You seem stressed out in sixth period yesterday. I meant to check up on you sooner, but I kinda got sidetracked. Techno knows why Dream wasnt able to come sooner. His older brother, Foolish, was working late. Schlatt, his uncle, had skipped school. Tubbo, his other uncle, had snuck out to see Tommy and Purpled. Puffy and her dad, Sparklez, would definitely notice if Dream snuck out as well.
My new foster brothers causin some issues, Techno admits. He skipped with Schlatt and almost broke a lamp over Dads head. Techno almost smiles when Dream giggles. Almost. The situation isnt as amusing as Dream thinks it is, but Technos got to hand it to himself for just being so incredibly amazing at describing the events that had transpired only a couple hours prior.
Suddenly, Dream grabs Technos wrist. Techno perks an eyebrow. He doesnt shake out of Dreams grip, but he is confused. Dream only smiles.
Cmon, lets go. Ill have you home by five. Dream stands up, pulling Techno with him. Techno barely has time to grab his mask and jacket before they reach the window. Ladies first, Dream jokes. Techno rolls his eyes and puts his mask and jacket on. He crawls out of his window, small pebbles getting trapped underneath his sharp fingernails. Dream follows closely behind.
Theyre out of the house now. Techno stares up at the window to Phils room. The lights on, but Techno knows that Phils asleep. He checked twenty minutes beforehand when he went upstairs to use the bathroom. Tommy was asleep as well, but Techno thinks that Wilburs still up doing something.
Where are we headed? Techno asks. Even though Dreams mask is pulled up, Techno can just tell that hes smiling.
I think you know. Dream grabs onto Technos wrist again and pulls him along. Soon enough, theyre running down the street towards the place that makes the two of them feel safest.
Techno doesnt know what to think. He and Dream arent necessarily friends, but they arent enemies either. They have a mutual respect for each other. Although he knows where the place theyre going to is, he cant remember the last time they went together. Techno comes once every week but he hasnt seen Dream there in a few months now.
Its not that far away from their street. Theres a line of trees in the middle of a grassy patch blocking it off from the neighborhood. Dream and Techno had found a clearing they could cross through to get to it, though. The trees did nothing except for hide them.
Theyre here now, at the destination. Its a playground meant for little kids. This is where they met. Techno remembers being invited to play tag with Dream and his friends once, but never did he think that this would be the one place he felt safe at other than his bed.
Dream laughs as he races towards the swings. Techno cant help but smile as he runs after him. They havent hung out like this in a while, and Techno hates to admit that he misses it. Ever since Dream met George, hes never really had time for Techno.
Dream grabs onto the chains of the swing as he leaps over it. The chains stop him from going too far because theyre still connected to the metal. Dream gets on the swing in midair. He giggles like a child. Techno, unlike Dream, sits on the swinging and starts pushing his feet back and forth, creating momentum that keeps him going. Soon, hes reached Dreams height.
We need to do this more often! Dream says. Techno nods. Its peaceful out here at night. You could argue that, because the boys are eighteen and legally adults, they shouldnt be swinging on swings meant for children, but they want to live a little. Have some fun before graduating high school.
They stay like this for a while; sitting in silence, listening to the crickets and the clinking of metal. Its relaxing. Its soothing Techno after the fiasco that was Wilbur. He smiles softly, pulling down his mask.
He really doesnt need a mask, but chooses to wear it. It has a pig nose where his nose would sit and gold jewelry hot glued on. The base mask is a coral pink that doesnt really match his bubblegum pink hair.
Techno has a gold septum piercing to match with the mask even though it isnt visible while hes wearing said mask. Its alright, though. It doesnt have to be visible. Just as long as people know its there.
Dream has an orange earring on one ear and blue on the other. He, Sapnap, and George had all gotten matching earrings. Sapnap has lime for Dream and blue for George. George has orange for Sapnap and lime for Dream. Techno cant help but feel slightly jealous. Why cant he have matching earrings with Dream?
Its fine, though. Techno already has a matching jacket with Quackity. Quackitys first foster parents had made them both jackets. Quackitys was blue with the letter Q stitched into it. Technos was red with the letters TB stitched into it. In fact, thats the jacket Technos wearing now. He regrets not thanking Quackitys old foster parents, though. They were nice people. Techno always feels bad when thinking about how they died.
Dream hums quietly as he stares at the stars. Techno turns to look at him. His face is illuminated by the pale moonlight, showing off the scar that stretched from his cheek to his forehead. Techno remembers how Dream got it. He fell off a tree and got his face scratched up by a tree branch. Techno had to carry him all the way to Dreams mother, Puffy.
Technoblade is not a light sleeper, but always wishes he is so he can experience more moments like these.
SORRY THE CHAPTERS SO SHORT :(
