Kingdom Come

3 - Family

A/N I don't even know if I'm gonna finish this today, but I just wanted to start. I'm really getting into this :>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No, no, no, no, NO!

The duel was over. Dream had won. While the kingdom of Dream SMP celebrated, Techno was in his room, trying not to stab everything and everyone in sight.

He couldn't believe it. Some random dude, shows up and beats him just like that. He had, NEVER, EVER, been beaten in his whole entire life. And still, the masked man he thought he could be friends with, beats him.

"Techno?" When he turned around, Wilbur was there, peeking from behind his door.

"Wil, not now." He was just frustrated and needed some time to think, alone.

"Techno, c'mon, it was 1 duel--"

"But it's more than that! That was my pride that just got taken and crushed to bits out there! He bet me, just like that! Some random peasant from another kingdom!"

"Hey." Phil.

"We don't talk 'bout people like that. I thought I taught you better?" Can't everyone just leave me be--

"Oh, hey Dad. What's going on in here--"

"EVERYONE GET OUT!"

...

"Sorry, I didn't mean to--" Before he could finish, the rest of his family had devoured him in a loving hug. He rested his shoulder between Wil and Phil's shoulders.

"I-I just--"

"We know Techno. We know."

Techno practically forced his tears in. He already lost the duel, he didn't want to be seen as weak.

"Techno I swear to god if you don't cry right now I will force the tears and emotions out of you." Dang, didn't know Wil could be that scary.

Finally, he let his guard down and let all his tears roll down his cheeks. Phil and Wilbur's shoulders were practically soaked by now, and Tommy was making disgusted sounds on the side.

"Guys, I'm too big a man for this. I'm going back to training. Big man, out!" So much for quality family time.

"We should probably go too. The other kingdoms are going crazy after the whole 'another team joining' and stuff. Cya later lil' bro!"

The 3 released from the hug, Phil giving a look of sympathy before closing the door behind him.

Once again, Techno was left alone in his room. Maybe reading will get my mind off things, not that I read much anymore.

He plumped down onto the side of his bed, grabbed his book from the drawer in his side table and started reading. It was a book about mythology. Though he doesn't find many things entertaining, this book really had him captured.

Eventually, he dosed off, ending up taking a small nap.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh my god, look! It's him! the one who bet  Prince Technoblade!" That's it.

After having to listen to irritating fan girls everywhere he went in this kingdom, Dream eventually got tired of it and decided to go tree surfing. He climbed onto one and started hopping from one tree to another.

He could still hear the unbearable voices of more fangirls in the distance, before they slowly faded.

Finally, peace and quiet--

Crack!

A tree branch he had hopped onto snapped beneath his feet as he landed on it, making him lose his balance and tumble to the ground.

Ugh.

The fall wasn't very high though, so he recovered quickly.

"Dream?" Wait...Drista?

"Oh my--...I-it's really you!" His sister wrapped her arms around her brother's neck, bringing him down to her level to give him an embrace.

"I-I...Wha--"

"Just hug me b-back you idiot!" she said, her voice cracking from the tears that started to roll down her cheeks.

The two embraced, sharing the sibling love they hadn't felt in years now.

"I...I can't believe it. It's really you! I...I thought y-you hated me?"

"Hated you? Dream, I know what you did was for our safety, mom and dad just couldn't see that."

His eyes started to swell up with tears. He hadn't seen his family in 15 years. Not after what he did.

"You've grown." she said.

"You haven't."

She elbowed her brother's arm, as they started to walk around the woods, his arm on her shoulder.

"So, why are you here, when did you get here, how did you get here, and what the hell are you wearing?!"

His sister was wearing an almost identical outfit to him, just her sling bag was different, black instead of brown. She even had the mask.

"Ok. 1: I'm here because I heard you were coming here with your idiot friends and Eret. 2: I got here the day before the duel. 3: I stole a wagon. And 4: I missed you, so I tried to dress up like you to remind me of my favourite brother. You left one of your jumpers but I couldn't get a brown sling bag."

Listening to his sister talk just put a smile on his face. He hadn't felt so, nostalgic in years. She had the exact same shade of hair and green eyes. It just reminded him of his younger self.

"So, you bet the best dueller in the kingdom?" Of course she knows.

"At least you're not a fangirl."

"Eh. Ain't really a big deal. Just my older brother being himself and causing as much ruckus as possible."

They both let out a slight chuckle.

"I really did miss you though, honestly."

"I missed you more."

The two embraced once more, feeling the warmth they've been wanting for more than a decade.

The feeling of home. Of family. Of love.
