Mr. Mysterious: Technoblade

"We're adopting you. You'll have the best life here with us," Techno said and Jonathan was quiet as he stared at him with beady eyes.

"Dada," Jonathan crawled onto Techno's lap and hugged him. "Mama," he looked at me and held his hand out. I walked over and sat with them. Techno had visible tears on his eyes. I gave him a smile and he held my hand. We got a room ready for Jonathan and he loved it. He had a red blanket and Techno insisted on red.

"It's our anarchy thing," Techno said and I smiled. Night came and Techno and I slept. The door opened at night and I was shaken awake.

"Mama, I had a bad dream," Jonathan said.

"Okay. Come on," I took him to his room and tucked him in. He closed his eyes and I stayed with him until he slept.

The next morning, Techno made all of us some breakfast. The bell rang and I opened the door.

"Hello," Tubbo walked in, carrying Michael. Ranboo followed him and I shut the door behind them. Techno put away the dishes and Jonathan ran behind my leg, hiding.

"Who's that, mama?" He asked. Techno came over and lifted him to his side. Jonathan buried his face in Techno's neck and hugged him.

"We came around to say hi. It's been a while," Tubbo said.

"Hi, Uncle Techno," Michael said.

"Hey, kid," Techno said.

"We didn't realize you two were busy," Ranboo said.

"No. It's okay. We just finished breakfast," I said.

"Could we all talk? You know, catch up?"

"Yeah." I took Jonathan from Techno and we went to the living room. I sat on the floor and Jonathan sat on my lap, shoving his face into my hair. He was pulling at my hair and getting restless. Techno saw and took his crown off, throwing it over. Jonathan grabbed in and put it on. He smiled and jumped around. He saw Michael and immediately sat on my lap again.

"Dad, I want your crown," Michael told Ranboo who handed it over. Soon the two were trying to find stuff that made them better than the other. "Where are your real parents?" Michael asked Jonathan.

"Michael!" Tubbo said.

"You're adopted too," Jonathan said.

"Loser," they both stated and crossed their arms.

"My dad is half enderman," Michael said.

"My dad blew up a country with my mom," Jonathan said. Michael was quiet and didn't have anything to say after that. He crawled onto Ranboo's lap and played with the crown. Techno was smiling at Jonathan and looked back at Ranboo and Tubbo.

"Wow, you guys are parents now too," Tubbo said.

"Yeah," I said.

"Techno as a dad. Who would have thought?" Ranboo chuckled.

"He had the same backstory as me," Techno said, not explaining anymore so they let it go. Ranboo, Tubbo, and Michael left and Jonathan ran around the house.

"Hello!" Philza walked in and Jonathan saw him.

"Woah!" He said and looked at the wings.

"Who-Who's this?" Phil asked.

"Jonathan, this is grandpa Phil," Techno said and Phil stared at Jonathan.

"Hi!" Jonathan said in English.

"Hi," Phil picked him up. "When did you get him? You literally just got married!"

"Yesterday," I said.

"Mama," Jonathan said and Phil handed him over. I took him away as Techno and Phil talked. "Does he not like me?"

"He does, he does. Phil is one of the most caring people I know. You just need to hang out with him more and you'll like him."

"Okay. Thanks, mama." He hugged me and I smiled. I played with him for a while and Phil and Techno walked in.

"Jonathan, Phil is gonna take care of you for the day so mom and I can hang out," Technoblade said.

"Okay, dada," Jonathan went to Phil who lifted him. Jonathan immediately played with his hair.

"It's the gold color," I said when Phil gave a questioning look. Jonathan knew limited English and only really said hi to people. He understood English, but spoke Piglin. Phil understood since he had raised Techno. Phil left with Jonathan and I knew something was up. "What deal did you make?"

"Phil's gonna toughen him up. He's gonna be a fighter. We're gonna make him better than Michael," Techno said.

"Why does everything have to be competitive when it comes to you?" I asked.

"It's not! Phil's just gonna teach him to hunt for food. We can't feed him forever," Techno said.

"At least consult with me first, Technoblade," I got up and walked away. He gave me a minute then followed me.

"Scarra, come on. I know I should have asked you before. He's our son and you should have had a say. I just want him to be strong, okay? He needs to be able to fend for himself. Please understand that."

"I know," I sighed and he hugged me around the waist.

"I love you," he said and smiled.

"Hm," I said and he kissed me. I pecked him on the lips and pulled away.

"We've made a family," Techno said.

"Mh-Hm."

"It's nice."

"Phil raised you right. You saved someone from their fate like Phil saved you. You're soft inside, Techno."

"Don't point it out." I smiled and we pulled apart. "Braid my hair." He sat and I did. I hugged him around the shoulders and kissed his cheek. He put his crown on and I took his cloak. "You're obsessed with me."

"I have no one else to be obsessed with."

"Do you talk to Puffy?" He asked.

"No. Dream and Foolish are the ones mainly in contact with her, but I'm not."

"Let's go find her," Techno said.

"No. I rather stay here," I said. He stayed quiet and accepted it. Techno sat with me and I threw my feet over his lap and he set his hands on hy shins. He was in thought and I tilted my head, looking at him. "What's wrong?"

"Will he be okay?" Techno asked immediately.

"Who? Jonathan?" I asked and he nodded.

"Did I make the right decision?"

"Techno, Phil is our friend. He wouldn't do anything that would hurt Jonathan, okay? We trust him."
