Blade of Khorne - A Sleepy Bois AU

The Cabin

The incident was quickly forgotten with the excitement of stories. Sam kept the boys distracted with tales of their adventures with the legendary Captain Sparkles. Fit was in the kitchen with Phil making lunch, the pair quietly laughing at Sam's stories and the boys' reactions.

"Would you like to explain your blackout?" Fit asked as he watched Phil dice the celery.

"I don't remember much," Phil lied, keeping his eyes trained on the board, "It wasn't as bad as Sam claims."

"It was bad, Phil, and you didn't even seem concerned for the Piglin-"

"Techno."

Fit rolled his eyes, "-for Techno nearly drowning. Your so-called adopted son."

"It's fine," Phil mumbled, setting aside the knife and adding the small squares to the broth, "I was just tired from the walk and excitement. It's nothing to be concerned about."

"I highly doubt that," he replied, looking at the kids, "Phil... I know we were never on good terms after Sparklez, but I would never just- just leave you to fend for yourself."

He scoffed and looked at him, "You have a history of leaving us to fend for ourselves. I didn't need your help then and I certainly don't need it now."

They shifted into awkward silence, Phil finishing lunch. Fit didn't say anything as they fed the kids first. Sam sat down with them after the boys ran off, clearing his throat.

"I think Phil needs to move."

Phil choked on his soup, "What?"

"I agree," Fit said, "The sword is too dangerous."

"Now just hold on a moment-"

Sam nodded, "It's too close to the house and we don't even know the effects it had on the fish in the pond. Phil should move into town where Puffy and I can keep an eye on him."

"It's fine! Everything's fine!" Phil exclaimed, looking at them, "I don't need to be coddled, I'm just as experienced as both of you dealing with it! Techno has lived most of his memorable life here, I like it here, it's just overwhelming living in that city and-"

"We've already set a house aside. It's nice, near Jen's greenhouse," Sam said with a smile, "And, you and Fit are getting a bit older-"

"Hey!"

"No," Phil stated firmly, "We're staying here. Nothing bad has happened so far. Yes, I'm getting light headed at times, but that could be a number of things."

The pair exchanged a look as Phil continued to eat. They sat in silence for a few minutes, not noticing the boys peeking through the window. They dropped down, looking at each other.

"Techno has to move into town?" Skeppy asked, looking at them, "That's awesome!"

"No! Want to stay!" The Piglin insisted, crossing his arms, "Stupid creeper..."

Dream shook his head, "Well, you can't stay. They said that sword thing was too dangerous."

"Let's take the sword out then!" Sapnap said excitedly, "Then we get praise from Philza!"

"Yeah! And we get praise from Sam and Fit too! Then Techno can stay here!" Skeppy added, smiling, "Nothing could go wrong!"

"This seems like a really bad idea, guys," Dream said, crossing his arms, "We should just let the adults handle it. Right, Techno?"

They all looked at where Techno should have been, freezing. He was halfway down the hill and they scrambled after him.
