Beautifully Dangerous (Technoblade x OC [Azalea])

Chapter 31:

Azalea's P.O.V

The  fight started out slow. Techno and I were just circling each other, trying to find a chance for one of us to attack. There was so much tension in the air, you could almost see it. It was the like the calm before the storm. 

Our swords met in the middle, and that's when it began. The beautiful dance called sword fighting. Neither of us could get the upper hand on each other, but that was just fine. I had never sword fought someone like Techno. Everything he did was with precision and grace. Everything was calculated, every step thought of before taking it. It was enchanting. 

I don't know how long we fought for, but I didn't care. I was feeling calmer than I had ever felt before. Fighting with Techno was like a beautiful dance. We would roll off of each other, almost reading each other's minds. It was magical.

All too soon, we both started to get tired. Him more so than me. I noticed that he began to stumble a little bit, making clumsy blocks, and tired swings. That's when the voices sent a new wave of energy into me. I darted forward, and blocked his blade with mine, making sure that the flat side was facing me.

I then grabbed his hilt, and spun around him, yanking his arm and his sword the opposite direction. His hold of the sword came loose, and I ripped it out of his grasp. My back was now turned to him, but he was left defenseless.

I turned around quickly, and swept his legs, causing him to fall to the ground. I stood over him, one arm pointing a sword towards his throat, the tip almost touching his throat, while the other sword rested on the arm, causing both to stop shaking.

Techno was panting, and so was I, but we both had huge grins on our faces. I heard clapping and I looked up. I saw that everyone was clapping for us. I had won. 

That thought sunk in finally. I'd done it. I had beaten Technoblade at his own game. I had won. I looked back at Techno, and lowered the swords, holding out my hand for him to take. He did, and I pulled him up. He then grabbed my hand, and pulled it up towards the sky.

"I pronounce that Azalea is the winner!" He said. I laughed and looked up at him. He was already looking down at me, smiling. I giggled a little, but smiled back at him. Everyone was still cheering. Then Nikki came out of the house.

"Alright, you lot, dinner's ready!" She said. Everyone started up cheering again, but heading towards the house this time. Techno and I started walking there too, but then I realized that Techno hadn't let go of my hand. I felt myself start to blush, but I turned to look forward to Techno couldn't see. I heard him laugh quietly and squeeze my hand. I smiled.

We walked into the kitchen, and found a lot of barbeque waiting for us. There were ribs, steaks, porkchops, chicken wings, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, french fries, salad, cole-slaw, carrots and ranch, corn on the cob. It looked amazing. 

After everyone had filled up their plates, we all went outside to each, since it was a beautiful afternoon.

"Alright everyone, settle down for just a sec. So, I know that I told everyone that we would do an everyone for themselves fight, but since it's already getting dark, I decided that we could skip it, and move straight into hide and seek. Everyone good with that?" There was a chorus of yes's, before everyone started eating once more.

I was sitting on a wooden table with Ranboo, Tubbo, Tommy, and Wilbur. Wilbur was making fun of Tommy, calling him a child, and I was laughing really hard. Tubbo and Ranboo were in their own conversation, but I didn't mind. Then something came into my mind.

"Ranboo, Tubbo... would you like to tell me why you didn't tell me I had an adopted nephew?" I asked, eating some mashed potatoes. I saw Tubbo give Ranboo the death stare, and I started to laugh quietly.

"How did you find out about Michael?"

"Ranboo told me about him couple weeks ago." I explained. It was half of the truth. Tubbo nodded.

"We didn't tell you because at the time, we didn't think it was right. I mean, everyone just found out about us a couple weeks ago, so we didn't want to make anything weird by saying, 'Oh, hey! We have an adopted son that lives like 3 hours away!" Tubbo explained. I nodded in agreement, and we started talking about Michael. Apparently, they found him in the nether, all by himself, so they brought him home. He also is a zombie pigman, so he can't go outside. 

I was excited to meet him, and we all agreed that I could help them bring him to Phil's house, cuz they didn't want Michael there alone anymore. Once everyone had finished dinner, I helped Nikki clean up, along with Ranboo. We all were joking around about the trouble we used to get into when we were kids. Some of the stories we could tell were hilarious.

I remember one time that this kid named Nate was making fun of me because I had hooves, and no one else did, and Nikki was standing up for me, but Nate and his friends just started to pick on her. Then Ranboo came, and dumped a whole bag of flour on him and his friends. We had ran around the city for 45 minutes, trying to loose them. It was so funny.

After we cleaned up, we found that everyone, even Mumza, was preparing for hide and seek. There would be one seeker, and to not get tagged, you would have to fight off the seeker, or else you would have to return to the house. The winner would get this new sword Phil bought at the market a couple days ago. It was made out of the finest iron, stronger than steel, but incredibly light. The hilt was decorated in emeralds and rubies. 

I quickly rewrapped my hands in leather bandages, made sure that my axe was slung against my back, before reattaching my cloak. I haven't taken my mask off once today, and it felt kind of nice. 

Phil called us all over, and made us draw from a hat in the center. Each piece of paper had one word on it, either 'hider' or 'seeker'. I drew mine, and let out a sigh of relief. Hider. Once everyone had drawn theirs, people were looking around to see who would have the seeker card. 

I looked around the group, studying each and everyone's faces. Tommy and Tubbo were excitingly exchanging their cards. They both fist-bumped, which means that they are both hiders. Ranboo flashed me a smile and mouthed 'hider'. I nodded, and mouthed hider back. 

Nikki and Wilbur were both laughing, but they both looked like hiders. My eyes landed on Bad and Skeppy, but they seemed pretty happy, so I'm guessing hiders. I then went over to Phil and Mumza, who both were stretching their wings. Hiders.

Then my gaze fell on Techno. He had a dark look in his eyes, and there was a smirk on his face. Our eyes made contact, and I felt myself go pale. 

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." I said out loud. Everyone turned towards me, a confused look falling across their faces. I didn't say anything else, just pointed a hand towards Techno, who was on the verge of laughing.

Everyone turned towards him, and gave him a confusing look. He grinned wickedly, before turning his piece of paper around to face everyone. Then they understood.

"Seeker"
