When you disappeared

XXIII

Y/n POV

As of Techno waking up, he made you move to the back seat next to Tommy and Tubbo.

It was pretty cramped in the back, Tommy and Tubbo leaning towards each other, deep in conversation.

Deciding you didn't want to interrupt you kept your view on the blurring images outside the van, passing cars of various colours, the occasional building gliding past.

 You weren't sure how long you'd been looking out the window but you felt yourself relaxing and slipping into sleep which wouldn't be awoken by the rain.

————————————————

Your surroundings were unfamiliar and made you feel claustrophobic for no reason but you didn't know where you were.

The place was a vast spans of green and blue, roiling purples rippling between.

It looked almost like the Aurora Borealis but the waves were choppy like the rough ocean in Brighton.

It was so beautiful but intimidating at the same time, giving you an overwhelming sense of belonging.

But the strangeness of the situation was growing inside you like a sapling in the place where your spine was, weaving and contorted, an uncomfortable sensation.

Arching your back awkwardly, you spun around, seeing if there was any oddity in the perfect landscape.

But no.

Suddenly a small glint from one of the ripples in the sky flashed on and off, almost fuzzing your vision.

You raised a hand to your eyes, trying to shy away from the light.

It was so harsh and abrasive to your eyes but also alluring and bewitching, giving you a funny feeling that you weren't alone in this world.

A soft humming was ringing harshly in your ears and you struggled not to move your hands to cover them.

The buzzing became gradually more distinguishable, the noise transforming into a familiar voice.

"Y/n... Y/nnnnnn"

—————————————————————

You sprang up so fast that your head made contact with the roof of the car.

"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh" you groaned, rubbing your head.

"Well good morning to you too" Wilbur laughs, his feet kicked up on the dashboard.

You look around, realising everyone had gone out.

"Where'd everyone else go?" You ask, sitting upright, finally letting go of your head and glancing out the window.

"Presumably to locate Eret but I can't  be sure" he continued when you looked confused,

"We arrived here a little while ago. You've been out cold for a while"

"Really? Geez, it felt like nothing. I hadn't a strange dream but it felt so short" You muse.

"A dream? Damn I hate saying that word. Always just sounds like a nightmare to me. Anyways, what was it about?" Wilbur shook his head.

You think for a moment, trying to recollect the dream but it seemed to have all been washed away, like a snuffed out flame.

"I can't really remember" 

Wilbur shrugged.

"Can't have been that important then"

"Dude that's not how dreams work. You only say something isn't important if someone was gonna tell you something, fuck wit" You sucker punch him in the shoulder as he pouts mockingly at you.

"I mean yeah but usually because your brain's in a state of unconsciousness, it's only certain fractures that'll stick with you" He says, rubbing his shoulder.

"I'm sorry, what? You grimace.

Wilbur let out a soft chuckle.

"No no. You just use too many words. Couldn't you have just said that your brain goes brr when you're asleep and doesn't go brr when you wake?" You say frowning.

"Pfffttt you could, you could" Wilbur scoffed.

"That made way more sense in my head than it did when I said it out loud. Just kinda stupid actually"

Then two of you sat in a comfortable silence for a while, reclining in your seat when's the muffled crunch of pebbles and shingle neared from outside the van.

Both of you perk up immediately, seeing Techno, Tommy and Tubbo approaching.

Once Techno reaches the car, he taps impatiently on the driver window, motioning for them to get out.

"What?" You ask, sliding out of the backseat.

"Nothing much. We found out vaguely where Eret's house is and I reckon we go catch them tomorrow instead" He watches Wilbur walk round the front of the van, swinging the keys on his finger.

"So we just kind and have to hope he helps us and doesn't slam the door in our faces like she did last time" Wilbur adds.

"When did that happen?" You ask, stifling a laugh at the idea of someone showing Wilbur up.

Wilbur scoffed and gave you a friendly cuff around the head.

"Well, that's a story for another time"

Author notes:

Wa hello.

Yet again, a filler.

I really need to get a plan down for this or it's gonna go on forever.

I've already forgotten why they even need Eret anyways.

But until next time, I hope yall are doing well :)
