【Pork Soda】- A Dreamnoblade Story

Chapter 3

Dream laughed as Skeppy and Bad raced at each other in an almost movie-esque scene. Sapnap elbowed Dream in the side jokingly, making a joke about him and George probably doing the same thing when they met up. Jokingly, Dream shoved Sapnap. "Shut up dude!" Sapnap chuckled as Punz hooked his arms over Dream and Sapnap's shoulders as the trio followed the couple out of the terminal.

"So Clay, are you ready to face your past?"

"I'm gonna try to ignore it to the best of my ability."

"We'll see how well that works out."

"That is.. mildly threatening."

George bounded up to the group, Dream instantly grabbing him so they joined together into a group of four, still watching Bad and Skeppy.

"Who's picking us up anyways?" The colorblind male questioned, smiling at his friends. "One of Skeppy's friends who also happens to be his neighbor?" Sapnap explained though he sounded as if he wasn't entirely sure. It made Dream remember who he had heard over the phone that night. The voice sounded like Techno's, but maybe he had heard wrong? Yeah, there was no way they'd be meeting up with Technoblade.

Dream was forced to a stop and reality came back to him when Skeppy talked to them. "You guys go grab your bags, I'll go get my friend to pull the car up." He practically ordered as he began walking towards the pick-up area. Bad called after him, "Tell that muffinhead to get out of the car too! I haven't seen him in a while, I demand hugs!"

They all laughed as they headed in the direction of Baggage Claim, ready to grab their bags which seemed to already be distributing out.

George's bag was the last to come out and once they had it, the five made their way through the airport to the doors of the passenger pick-up. Skeppy was quickly noticed, but next to him, leaning against the larger car was a male with long pink hair coming down over his shoulders. He seemed relaxed for the most part in posture as he leaned against cold metal, arms crossed.



"TECHY!!" Bad cried, running forward and hugging the much taller male. The others seemed to stop short in shock as the pinkette flinched before relaxing again and returning the hug, Skeppy laughing and poking fun at his friend as Bad received the hug he had requested.

Sapnap was the first to recover, breaking from the line they were in. "T-Technoblade?!" He questioned loudly, dumbfounded. Techno let go of Bad and looked at the rest of them.

"I'm not here for small talk. Get in the car unless you want to create more of a scene." He said, monotone voice ringing out familiar to the ears. It took the group a hesitant second but they eventually started forward, preparing their bags so they could put them into the car when Skeppy stopped them. "Just get in the car, Techno and I can take care of the bags."

At this the pinkette froze and looked at his friend, scoffing. "I didn't agree to this, what?" "Come on, Techno. It's called being nice." "They're your guests, not mine! I'm doing my part in picking them up for you already!" He tried to argue but to no avail.

As they continued talking, Dream sat in the backseat in stunned silence. Techno was here. Technoblade was here, picking them up. The pinkette was Skeppy's neighbor and he had heard it right over the phone. "You good, Clay..?" Punz asked, gently nudging his shoulder. Dream nodded, "Y-yeah...I think I just need to process all this..."

They were on the road now, driving back to Skeppy's place. All the bags were a struggle to fit, with there being so many people, but Techno and Skeppy had been able to manage.

So now there they were, Techno sitting silently as he paid attention to the road while his blue-haired best friend was striking up a conversation with the rest of the group. They talked about things the pinkette couldn't care to listen to until he heard his name. At his name, he tuned into the conversation.

"So what's it like being neighbors with Technoblade?" George had asked Skeppy, leaning back in his seat. Skeppy smiled, "You'd be expecting me to say he's quiet, huh? Surprisingly wrong though! He may be quiet himself, but his family is LOUD." The shorter male laughed. That's when Techno finally cut in.

First, it was a small laugh that had come from his throat before he spoke up, "You act as if you're any better, Zak! Sneaking in through my window at two in the morning just to ask me to give you a ride, yelling at points." Attention had turned to Techno now. "I didn't wake them up!" Skeppy tried to defend himself. "HA! They asked me why you were there the next morning at breakfast, you're louder than my entire family combined!"

"I needed to talk to you, it was important!"

"We were going to the beach the next day, you could've waited!"

Before Skeppy could retort and continue their argument, Punz perked up. "Beach?" He inquired, quickly becoming interested. Techno and Skeppy looked back at the blond, Techno more so glancing back for a quick second since he was the one driving.

This left Skeppy to be the talker again. "Yeah! Techno and I both have beach houses so we take beach days pretty often when we have nothing better to do. If we don't have anything planned, feel free to go down whenever you guys want!
