Is this love? [DREAM SMP X M! READER]

Chapter 2

The male ran off into the forest in search of the criminals. Then, he found a horse with a saddle tied up outside a dirt mound. He moved some dirt away and revealed a small base. 

He stepped inside and searched the chest in the corner of the room. It was empty. This place had someone living in it, he knew that for a fact. There was a singular torch on the wall that would've gone out already if someone hadn't lit it fairly recently. That meant either someone had just left or just entered.

Y/N didn't know which was worse if they had just entered he would be caught and probably murdered but if they had just left they could come back at any time and he would end up dead either way. He stepped forward and tripped on the tatty rug on the floor.

Underneath him was a trapdoor. He knelt and opened it to find a ladder going down into darkness.

Carefully, he climbed down the ladder which led into a large ravine. As he started to explore, he had the feeling that someone was watching him. Suddenly, a few rocks fell from a ledge. He grabbed his bow and arrow and fired upwards, not knowing what was up there.

"Ow!" A boy, younger than him, only a teenager, peered over the edge of the ledge.

He saw Y/N and screamed out for help. However, Y/N fired a barrage of arrows up at him, knocking him off the ledge. He fell and landed with a thud. Luckily for him, it wasn't a fall large enough for death. Then, Y/N heard footsteps running towards his location. He left the boy and sprinted away into the shadows. He couldn't find a way out of the ravine but he could hide.

Two older men ran into the ravine, Y/N guessed they were Mr Soot and Technoblade. A tall, pink-haired man with broad shoulders and a large, glimmering netherite axe and the other man with a smaller frame was wearing a long, brown cloak, stained and torn in places and had what looked like a stick of dynamite in one of the many pockets.

"Tommy?" He said, walking over to the injured boy on the floor. "What happened?"

The boy glanced into the shadows where Y/N was hiding. The hidden man gulped quietly before the boy turned back to the man who was helping him stand up.

"I, uh... Fell," he blurted out. Y/N was confused, the boy could've ratted him out but... Didn't? Peculiar.

"Then why is there an arrow in your helmet?" The older man picked up the leather cap that had fallen off Tommy's head when he was knocked down.

The boy glanced back into the shadows. Curse him, he's gonna get me caught Y/N thought. Tommy locked eyes with Y/N for a second before the man broke him out of his trance.

"Tommy? Is there someone there?" The taller male asked, calling the pink-haired man over. "Techno, go check it out." He ordered and the large man made his way over to the shadowy corner.

"Techno watch out!" The boy yelled as Y/N fired an arrow aimed at Technoblade's neck.

The man raised his shield just in time to block the projectile. He gripped his large axe and stepped closer to the hidden figure. He continued to deflect all the arrows with his shield. He was right in front of Y/N now, they could see each other. He raised his axe and swung it. Y/N blocked the blow with his smaller shield which broke on impact and the blade of the axe brushed against his arm. He sprinted past all three men and escaped the room.

He ran back to the president's office, where Schlatt was waiting for him.

"Sir?" His voice was shaking and blood was dropping out of his arm.

"Yes, my love?" It seemed that Jschlatt was no longer drunk.

Y/N stumbled into the main room where Schlatt was sitting at his desk.

"I-I tried, I'm sorry..." He stuttered, afraid of what the older man would do.

Schlatt turned around and took one look at Y/N's arm before rushing over to him.

"Don't worry about it darling, I'm just glad you're alive," he led Y/N over to the desk and pushed him into the chair.

Schlatt grabbed some cloth from a drawer and bandaged Y/N's arm.

"Are you okay darling?" He asked once he was finished.

Y/N just nodded, his hands shaking slightly.
