Smile In The Dark | A MCYT Story [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 5 - I'll Protect You

They reached the house right as the moon rose and began to shine over the forest. Both boys walked inside to see Phil sleeping on the couch with Tommy laying against him on one side and Wilbur laying his head in Phil's lap. Techno and Ranboo looked at each other, heading up to the bedroom to get ready to clean the blood off themselves...
But Ranboo had other things to discuss.

After getting a new pair of clothes, they sat down on opposite beds in silence. Ranboo turned to look at Techno, ready to discuss something that may break both of them.
...
"Do you know what they did?"

Techno was taken aback when Ranboo asked the question in such a stern tone. He kept his straight face and asked, "What are you talking ab-"
"Your Parents, Techno!"

Techno was silent. He really hadn't known what his parents ever did since they... left him, and how Ranboo knew they did something bad. Hell, Ranboo never KNEW his parents.

"What did they do?"
...
"Memory Boy?"
...
"Ranboo?"
"Look what ever they did I'm sure that-"
. . .
Good job, Ranboo.

The pig hybrid was greeted by a hard slap to the face by the Enderman, his straight face in shock and anger. Ranboo gritted his teeth, lashing out at the boy in front of him.

"Your parents MURDERED mine! They destroyed my home, my family, EVERYTHING!" The boy was on the verge of tears.
Didn't tears hurt him?

"I had to run for my life! I was being hunted until Phil found me. Then, I have YOU killing innocent people! You're nothing but a heartless,"
Techno stood.
"Cold,"
He slowly reached behind him.
"Horrible Monster!"
He's going to kill you.

Ranboo was quickly pinned against the wall by Techno's sword. His breathing quickly hitched realizing what he had said to the son of a god.
And of blood & war for that matter.

Techno's POV

Kill him.
Do it.
You want to.
You know you do.

The voices rang through my head as I had the boy pinned against the wall with my sword. He was clearly in fear and said what he did out of anger of my father-
...
No. What he did out of anger of a cruel, old man.
That's better.

The voices begged me to kill him. Wanting me to have the blood of this enderman on my hands. But, I had to stop myself. Phil would be upset, Tommy would be traumatized, Wilbur would be disappointed...
I cared for Ranboo too much.
Something just... told me I had to protect him.

I pulled the sword towards me and backed away from Memory Boy- er- Ranboo. He slid his back down the wall until he was sitting with his knees to his chest. I could tell he was trying so hard not to cry, but I think it was more that he was scared of the tears, them being technically water, rather than crying out of pure fear. I sighed, dropping the sword and sitting next to him to rub his back. He flinched at the sudden touch but slowly laid himself in my lap. I let out a small laugh.

I ran my fingers through his black and white, fluffy hair. This isn't a usual thing for me but Ranboo was an exception. I tried to close my eyes, but before I could the voices returned and they were pissed.
