Why do I need a family?

Terrified confessions

Crying Ranboo pog

It had been almost five hours since Techno left he was standing at his door now unaware of what he was about to walk into. He opened the door expecting to see Nikki and Ranboo playing a board game or something but instead he saw Nikki with red swollen eyes and a look of anger at Techno. "I don't know what you plan to do with him but I hope your happy when he is completely destroyed!" Techno was in shock, "what?" Nikki looked like her anger just got even worse at what she thought to be Techno playing dumb. "You know exactly what I'm talking about! And just so you know that kid up there thinks you care for him and he cares for you a lot!" Techno stood there silently. It had finally hit him what she was talking about, "you think I'm going kill him don't you?" Nikki nodded anger still very present, "why wouldn't you? That's what you do to literally every other kid you've ever met! The only kids you haven't hurt is Tommy and Tubbo and that's because their your family." Techno didn't speak he knew she was right and while the very thought of hurting Ranboo made him sick to his stomach what would he do if he lost control? Could he even stop anything if the voices took over? "I know what I did to those other kids but I would never do that to Ranboo!" Techno knew Nikki would never believe him, he didn't blame her he didn't even really believe himself. "Techno I don't want to hear your lousy excuses just give Ranboo to me so he'll actually be safe." While Techno did have worries he would never give Ranboo up that is his child and Nikki would have to kill him before he would let her take Ranboo. He knew what that would do to the child and all Techno wanted was for Ranboo to be happy. "No." Nikki looked even more angry, the possibility of her trying to kill Techno to take Ranboo started to seem all to real now. "Nikki I'm not going to let you take my son from me!" Techno was angry now too this was starting to give him a headache. Techno looked back at Nikki's surprised face he watched as Nikki took a deep breath and sighed. "Listen Techno Ranboo will never be safe with you I don't care how much you care for him you will always be you." Techno was a strong man it took a lot to make him want to cry but to be treated like your so dangerous you can't even be around loved-ones, that would make most want to cry. "Nikki just get out." Techno spoke with no anger now just sadness maybe that's what told Nikki she went too far because she just left and Techno thanked god for it. Techno climbed up the ladder and walked over to Ranboo's room lightly knocking on the door. "Who is it?" Techno could hear it in Ranboo's voice he was crying. "It's just me Ran, can you let me in?" Techno heard footsteps come closer to the door followed by a click as Ranboo unlocked the door quickly opening it. Techno looked down at the young boy and saw his red puffy eyes, "hey...I'm sorry." Techno didn't know why Ranboo was apologizing and part of him didn't want to know why. "What did you do?" Ranboo looked away from Techno from what the man could only assume to be shame, "I hurt Mrs.Nikki's feelings and made her cry..." Techno wasn't mad he knew Ranboo was probably provoked after what happened a few minutes ago. "How'd you so that?" Techno could hear Ranboo start to sniffle signaling he was starting to cry agian, "she called you a bad man so I told her I hate her." Techno felt shocked, Nikki was right he was a bad person he has hurt a lot of people. "Ranboo I think we need to talk." Techno felt like Ranboo deserved to know and while he did want to keep Ranboo Techno knew this should Ranboo's decision on who he stayed with. "What do we need to talk about?" Ranboo looked a bit scared now he didn't know if he was about to hear something he didn't want to. "Listen Ran Nikki is right I am a bad man I've hurt a lot of people and most of those people were orphans." Ranboo looked up at Techno with wide eyes, "b-but why did you hurt them?" Techno sighed he truly did hate talking about this, "I have these voices in my head that tell me to do things and sometimes they tell me to hurt people and when they do I'm not the same I start to get really angry and well hurt people..." Ranboo looked away, "do- do you wanna hurt me?" Techno knew this question was coming but he didn't expect it to him as hard as it just did, "no, strangely enough the voices like you they told me to help you when I found you in my bed." Ranboo looked over at Techno and saw Technos eyes become glassy so he did the only thing he could think of...he hugged Techno. "I ran away from the orphanage I was at. That's why I showed up in your house." Techno hugged the boy back he was in complete shock. "Why did you run away?" Ranboo felt the tears fall onto his cheeks, "People were really mean to me and the ladies who worked there miss treated us." Techno tightened his grip around Ranboo, it's like some sort of father instincts kicked in...well that or maybe it was just the knowledge of what  Ranboo went through. "I'm sorry I probably should have been stronger." Techno felt some sort of rage boil in him at that statement. "Ranboo I had to be in a orphanage as well when I was younger and I just want to tell you it's not because you weren't strong enough you are a very strong boy." Ranboo was confused by this statement, "but I left just because I felt like I couldn't take it anymore." "Don't you think the fact you were strong enough to get the courage to leave and the ability to survive as long as you did on your own makes you strong though?" No, Ranboo didn't think that who cares if he survived a few weeks on his own in his eyes he was still a weak little child. "Ranboo I want you to know I'm not going to tell the orphanage or the police about you being here but I do want to know something." Ranboo looked up at Techno the man looked tense almost like he was nervous, "after me telling you about the things I have done and the rage fits I can get in do you want to stay with me or go live with someone like Mrs.Nikki or Mr.Eret, it is completely your choice." Ranboo didn't need to think he knew his decision the second Techno even mentioned any of this to him, "I don't want to leave you." Ranboo heard soft cries from Techno and felt the mans grip get a bit tighter. Ranboo knew it was time, there was something he needed to tell Techno. "I love you dad." Ranboo hugged Techno a bit tighter knowing the importance of what he just said. "I love you too son."
