When you disappeared

XX

Techno POV

Having left practically immediately on arrival, nobody was to enamored to be back on the road again.

"Wait why are we leaving?" Tubbo asked, rubbing his eyes having only just woken up.

"Dream's tailing us somehow and we just need to keep moving" Y/n sighed, keeping their eyes forward since they'd swapped places with Wilbur and were now sitting shotgun.

"Well then surely we should go some place he won't be able to" Tubbo piped up.

"And where do you suggest?" Wilbur sighed.

"Surely one of you know someone else we can find" Tubbo looks at us all.

"I don't know anyone besides Ranboo and I guess that's out of the question" Y/n pivoted in their seat a little as if to face you.

You grunt, running over possibilities in your mind.

"I got nothing" You add.

Tommy looks thoughtful for a moment before answering.

"Niether"

Everyone turns to look at Wilbur who is looking down at his hands.

"Wil?"

"Huh?", He looks up, "Oh, sorry. What are we talking about?"

You chuckle slightly as Tubbo reminds him.

You and Wilbur both had contacts in America but none of which would be the right answer.

Also, you didn't know who would be likely to rat you out to Dream.

The world was in a tough state right now and the fact that a certain powerful figure from your past was after you induced nothing but anxiety at this point.

Wilbur had a difficult history with the faceless man, most of which you were unsure of, mainly because you didn't want to prise through Wilbur's life outside of your own.

Family was hard like that.

Even though you weren't related at all, the friends you'd come in contact with over the years were like family to you.

And that's just how you liked it, even if you didn't show it enough.

"Tech?" Wilbur's voice snapped you back to reality.

"Uh, yeah?" 

"I might have someone but I'm gonna need your help to figure this one out" 

"Oh really?"

Wilbur nodded and pulled out his phone, passing it to Y/n to read out, since you were driving.

"Eret? Is that how you say it? Says he lives in L.A... but that's so far! Uses all pronouns, pog, and... how does she know Dream then?" Y/n looks up from Wilbur's phone, handing it back to him.

"Despises him" Wilbur grins, putting his phone back in his pocket.

"That makes two of us" Y/n grumbles.

"But bare in mind this makes our trip a shit ton longer. Is it really worth it?" Tommy asks.

"Probably. Eret has lived in most parts of America at some point, meaning they know his way around probably a lot better that most people" You add.

"Guess we should get in contact then"
