The Lost Prince (TechnobladexFemReader)

Chapter 5

"it's finally nice to meet you techno"

Techno's eyes didn't waver, he was looking right at you. His eyes were black as night and you couldn't read his expression but you could tell he was thinking. But what about? 

"Is that it?" he finally said. 

"…is that what it is?" you sheepishly smiled, not sure what he meant. 

"it's nothing… Just continue" 

You nodded and went on with your cooking, very aware and uncomfortable from the man glaring daggers at the back of your head. What is up with this guy…. You thought to yourself, he definitely has some kind of brain injury or maybe everyone outside the forest was like this. 

He took off his crown and placed it on the table, this caught your attention. You smiled and said. 

"So what's up with the crown? You steal it?" 

"no I didn't steal it...Thats none of your business anyway" 

suspicious!! He totally stole it!!' you thought to yourself. 

"I'm telling you I didn't steal it" he glared, clearly annoyed. "I can see what you're thinking, your face gives it away" 

"oh shit" you laughed nervously. "it was that obvious huh?" you grinned sheepishly as you began to spread some hot jam on toast with apple slices and a pinch of cinnamon.

"Here try this, it's not the healthiest thing but it sure is good!"

You sat down and took one of the slices, slowly enjoying the sweet and tangy taste. Techno however looked at it with complete disgust, he leaned in to smell it and you swore you saw his ears twitch and his eyes widen. And when he took a bite he couldn't help but be amazed at the taste. 

"this peasant food is strange"

You frowned, you didn't like the term 'peasant'. How could someone be so rude to their savior?!

"Well if you insist on calling it peasant food I'll take it back!" 

You pouted and placed your hand on the plate slowly sliding it back to you when it suddenly stopped moving, peaking over the side you saw that Techno's hand was on the other side of the plate stopping it from moving. 

"..." Techno avoided eye contact, you noted that this was something he often did when he wanted to say something that might've hurt his pride. He reminded you of a person you knew a long time ago and the thought made you smile, Techno looked back at you with embarrassment written all over his face, it looked so funny seeing him with such a strange expression that you couldn't help but giggle. He glared and hit the table with his fist. 

"What are you laughing at?!" 

You stopped laughing and let go of the plate. Slowly taking another bite of your toast you smiled sweetly. 

"I just thought that it's nice having company..." 

You looked out the window wistfully, the sun was still bright and the sky was cloudless. It calmed you. 

"I've been alone for so long" 

Techno looked shocked, but he didn't say anything. He believed it wasn't his place to ask something so personal of his host. So the two of you ate in a comfortable silence. 

A little while after eating and cleaning you noticed Techno put on his old blouse, the blood stains had dried but even from the kitchen you could smell that unmistakable smell of rust it gave off. You pinched your nose in disgust and yelled from the kitchen. 

"take that disgusting thing off!!" 

He chuckled from your room and stepped out, leaning on the door frame. 

"You want me to be shirtless again? How shameless" 

"ha ha ha, so he does know how to joke" 

You sarcastically remarked back at him, putting your hands on your hips and tapping your foot. 

"Just give it to me and I'll wash it, wear one of my blouses" 

"one of yours?" he looked you up and down a couple of times before shrugging.

"if you insist" he took off the dirty shirt and threw it to you, it hit your face and you could instantly smell the old blood and your whole body shivered at the disgusting stench. 

"you bastard!!!" you yelled as you balled up the shirt and threw it into your laundry basket. "That's it! You're gonna help with chores!" 

"chores???" Techno once again came out of the room wearing one of your bigger blouses and even though it was huge on you it seemed like his muscles would burst through the fabric with one wrong move. 

"yes!! If you're gonna sleep on my bed and eat my food you atleast have to do the laundry with me!" 

He clicked his tongue in annoyance. 

"you're making an injured person do chores? You really are shameless" 

Excuse me?? "I SAW YOU DOING PUSHUPS THIS MORNING DON'T MAKE ME POKE YOUR WOUND"

After alot of back and forth quarreling Techno eventually caved in and escorted you to the nearby creek, the creek was perfect for collecting water and cleaning as it ran directly from the mountains so it was always cold and fresh. As you walked together Techno suddenly broke the silence. 

"you really do live in the haunted woods" 

"haunted woods? I've never heard that before" 

He looked surprised.

"this place, it's called the Haunted woods where I'm from..." 

"Why on earth is it called that?" You walked in front of him, making sure he'd take the right steps to not fall down the steep hill. 

"Because this is where the witches live, they kidnap children and even adults to use in their experiments"

You scoffed. 

"I've lived here all my life and I've never once seen a witch!"

"maybe you are the witch"

You stopped in your tracks making Techno stop, you didn't turn around making him more suspicious of you. He quickly placed his hand on his knife cautiously ready to attack if you turned on him. But much to his surprise you started laughing. 

"me?? A witch?? I wish!! With magic I could make all the delicious food I want!"

You laughed more at the idea, but Techno however seems less than amused. 

"of course, you're too dumb to be a witch" 

You stopped laughing and picked up a rock throwing it at him.

"what's that supposed to mean?!" 

He caught it, surprising you. You expected him to throw it back, making you smile sheepishly. He just shook his head and dropped it back on the floor. 

"let's just get to the creek already" 

You quickly picked up the pace after that, wanting to get this done as soon as possible. When you arrived at the creek you immediately went to work washing all the clothes including Techno's blouse and the clothes you wore that were all blooded up from treating him. Techno tried to help you but was so bad at it you just decided to put him on guard duty, which he took a little too seriously... But you were just glad he was having fun.
