Returning a gift

Third person

Tommy hated to return gifts, mostly because they were given to him. He didn't want to come off as a rude, bratty kid.
But returning this gift, was necessary even though he wished he didn't have to.
It's been a couple weeks after L'manburg was destroyed... again. Tommy hated himself for it, but he betrayed Techno. He didn't do it for L'manburg, he did it for his best friend. Tubbo was always there for him, and he may have exiled Tommy, but Tommy understood why. He would have made the same decision.
Tommy didn't hate Techno or Phil for what they did. He of course hated Dream, but he couldn't blame them for acting impulsively.
Tommy blamed himself for what happened.
And the best decision Tommy has made in a while, was returning the cape Techno gave him. Not to bring more chaos to their relationship, but to show he knows he doesn't deserve the cape. 

So walking up the steps to Techno's cabin was quite stressful for Tommy. He was about to knock, but the door opened before he could do so.
Tommy froze, seeing Dream. He didn't even have his mask on all the way, which confused Tommy a little.
"Came here to bitch about what happened? I knew it would happen sooner or later," Dream chuckled, with a disgusting smirk.
"Techno! You have a visitor!" Dream called out.
"See you and Tubbo soon, Tommy," he laughed, walking past him, bumping his shoulder.
Tommy didn't say a whole thing while Dream spoke.
He watched him until he was out of sight, creasing his eyebrows. That was an interesting interaction between them.
He must've been in a better mood than normal Tommy guessed.
He heard someone clear their throat, and jerked his head towards the door. Techno was leaning against the door, looking very impatient.

"Tommy," he greeted.
"Hey Techno, I just wanted to talk," Tommy spoke.
"Okay, then talk," Techno stated. Tommy took a deep breath.
"Look, you have every right to be angry at me. I betrayed you, and it was wrong. So I just wanted to let you know why I did it," Tommy scratch his head.
"Go on,"
"I didn't betray you for L'manburg, I couldn't give a shit about that place. It has no meaning anymore to me. But.. it has meaning to Tubbo and he's my best friend," Tommy started.
"You still don't get he exiled you, do you?" Techno scoffed.
"Because he had no choice Techno. Dream left him in a tough spot. He made the decision that was best for everyone, not himself.," Tommy said.
"And? There shouldn't be a government anyway," Techno retaliated.
"Wilbur and Schlatt left him with that piece of shit. And Tubbo took it as a responsibility to give people a home! Not to control people. What don't you get Techno? I was doing all that for Tubbo!" Tommy raised his voice, having enough.

"The government changes people for the worse! I was trying to fix it!" Techno argued.
"You made it worse! I get you were mad at me, but you fucking shot at me, released your hounds on me, and almost fucking killed me the way you did Tubbo!" Tommy screamed.
"And Tubbo had the heart to jump in front of that firework. If I didn't pull him out of the way, he would have been dead Techno. And now I'm blind in one eye," Tommy stated shakily. Techno's face dropped. At first it was cold as a stone, then he looked pissed off, but now he looked regretful.
"I didn't blind you, you're lying," Techno denied looking away.
Tommy took off his hood, showing one eye with a huge blast scar on his right eye. His eye was a lighter shade of blue than his other eye.

It looked... empty.
"Oh my god," Techno mumbled in disbelief.
"Tommy I'm so sorry," he said. Tommy scoffed,
"Now you're sorry? There's no point in it anyway,"
"But-"
Tommy interrupted him.
"Stop acting like you have any right to feel sorry for yourself!" Tommy yelled, pushing Techno back slightly.
"Tommy-"
"We're living in a hell you and Dream created!" Tommy exclaimed, smiling, but it showed no signs of happiness. To Techno, it looked like the blonde finally broke.
"Are you proud of yourself, Techno?!" Tommy said, but it sounded like a rhetorical question to Techno.
"Tommy your my brother, I'm sorry!"
"You're not my brother! You've never been!" Tommy screamed. Techno saw Tommy's eyes glistening, making him feel worse.
"You're not even fucking human anymore!" He said.
Techno felt like his heart just broke into a million pieces when he said that.

"You're not jus the blade to me Techno!" Tommy said, wiping away his tears.
"You were my everything, because you were all I had left," Tommy spoke quietly.
"But at the end of the day, you're you. And I'm me," Tommy sniffled.
Tommy started undoing the tie in his cape.
"The real reason I came here was to be mature and return this, because I know I don't deserve it,"
Tommy let the piece of fabric fall to the ground. He looked at Techno with pure hatred in his eyes.
"Bye Techno, I wish you the best," he spoke, trying but failing miserably to keep the shakiness out of his voice.
"Tommy, please listen to me," Techno pleaded. He couldn't remember the las time he was this desperate to keep someone in his life.
"No! I don't want to see you ever again. You are just like Wilbur!" Tommy said forcefully.
"I didn't hit you like he did!"
"You're right, you blinded me in one eye!" Tommy laughed humorlessly.
"If I ever see you again, don't expect me to show any kind of mercy towards you," Tommy spoke, and walked off without another word.

Techno looked at the cape on the ground. That was his cape when he was younger. It was still in great condition, and soft as ever.
"Techno? What's wrong mate? I heard yelling," Phil walked out. He took a look at the cloak on the ground, and knew what happened.
"Mate, you did what you thought was best," Phil said.
"Then why does it feel like I did the wrong thing?" Techno swallowed the lump in his throat. He hasn't cried in years, he wasn't going to start now.
"Because you hurt someone you cared for, even loved like family,"
Techno grabbed the cape off the ground, gripping it like his life depended on it.
"I shouldn't have listened to the voices. I didn't have to give into them Phil,"
Phil patted him on the back, giving him a sympathetic smile.
"You can only move forward now. And the best way to do that, is to not sulk about your loss,"
Techno looked at the direction Tommy went, then back down at cape.
"I lost another person, didn't I?" Techno stated, more than asked.
"You don't have to lose him Techno," Phil said. Techno looked over at him,
"How could I ever forgive me?" He asked.
"By being the Technoblade he grew to admire. The one he needed the most during pogtopia, but you weren't there. The one he needed in exile, and the one he needs right now," Phil stated.
"He cared for the Techno that didn't care about governments, and anarchy. He cared for his brotherly figure. Right now, he doesn't have one anymore. Go fix that," Phil gave Techno a small smile.
Techno nodded, understanding.
"I'm going to let him cool off first. I'll go see him tomorrow,"
"Good idea mate,"
Phil walked back inside, while Techno leaned on the railing.

"I'm sorry Tommy,"

...

"And I know that will never be good enough for what I did to you,"
