Unpredictable | Wilbur Soot Angst

Logging On

TW: Implied starvation

A/N: Again, thank you all so so so much, enjoy the chapter :)

It was time. Wilbur had been stalling the moment for almost a week and a half now. Techno was streaming at the moment, and the brunet had been staring at the screen for a couple minutes, trying to gain the courage to click "Join Call".

Fuck it. He said to himself, but didn't click. Come on, just do it! His finger still didn't move. Sighing, he removed his hand from the mouse, but in doing so, the computer registered a touch.

"Oh. Hello? Who just joined? One second chat." Techno's voice flooded the speakers, startling the boy. "Will?"

"Oh, um, h-hi, Techno."

"What's up?" the pig asked awkwardly.

"No-not much... Um, you?"

"Well I mean, I'm streaming."

Wilbur chuckled, "I-I know, I was, I was just wondering if, um, if you wanted to hang out? For a bit, o-on call I mean." he stuttered

"Sure. Do you have anything in particular you want to talk about?" Techno asked kindly.

"I du-dunno, wha-what are you doing r-right now?"

"Well I'm just renovating my house, do you wanna log on and help? You don't have to."

Wilbur pondered it for a second. He had played a bit on single player, and with Phil. But this was a whole other thing. What if you mess up? What does he want you to do? What if he is trying to trick you?

"OK." he whispered, as he opened Minecraft. Quickly, he found the Dream SMP in his server list, hesitating for only a second before clicking on it.

WilburSoot joined the game.

As soon as that server message appeared in chat everyone online erupted. Techno chuckled as he read some of them.

<Tommy> Will?

<CaptainPuffy> Hello!

<Ranboo> How are you doing?

<Tubbo> hey Big Man

<FoolishG> o/

"Where are you?" Techno asked, realizing he got sidetracked.

"Um, I-I have no idea." Wilbur answered

"What are your coords?"

"Um, {insert coordinates}"

"OK, I'm comin' to you, just gimme a sec." Techno opened his inventory, grabbing his trident, ender pearls, and water bucket, he started to travel. It took him about twenty minutes, even while using the Nether. During his journey, they talked. No heavy subjects, and often Techno had to wait for Wilbur to gather himself, but it was nice. They laughed and joked and chatted.

Finally, Techno made it, Wilbur was relatively near (the remains of) L'Manberg, and he quickly located him.

"Here ya go." the pig greeted as he passed over golden carrots to the canonically dead character (there are so many things going on in that sentence...).

"Thanks." Wilbur had almost nothing on him (as he was playing the role of a ghost the last time he had logged on), and had subsequently run out of sprint.

"No problem." Techno stated, as they started making their way back, "though it was kinda funny seeing you starve to death." Wilbur let out a half hearted chuckle, and Techno realized his mistake.

"I didn't mean it like that."

"No, no yo-you're fine, I-I know- I know you what you meant." Techno remained unconvinced, but he decided not to push it.

They made it back, and Techno passed a bunch of blocks to the boy, and they started to build. Wilbur often checked, then double checked, then triple checked at each part. And Techno was trying very hard not to get mad, not at Will of course. At the guy who made the once confident, laughing teen, into the stuttering mess he now was. He gave himself a mental reminder to be more careful about what he joked about. 

This chapter took me longer than normal to write, just because of all the times I had to look up specific usernames and what Minecraft chat look like lol. As always, thanks for reading, and see you next time :)
