Technoblade oneshots

Hopeful

Requested :3

Ranboo's pronouns shifts from they/them to he/him and back to back

Because. It feels right.

Narrator: No. The author forgot to stick to one pronouns and ended up with noting to use two pronouns for Ranboo.

Techno flinch and steps back when the enderman on his bed jolt up awake, they turn their head to look at him and turn to look at their surroundings. Techno patiently waited for the boy to process the surroundings, and their mismatched eyes stare into him like a newborn child.

It greets in their language and Techno nods, greeting back in enderman language. Techno waited for the boy to get used to him and get comfortable on the bed, before they finally feel they are in a safe space. Techno gently smiles and hands the enderman a cup of warm milk, which they are grateful for and take a sip. "You are in my cabin, we are in a snow biome so it is always cold here, my name is Technoblade but you can call me Techno."

"Techno." Techno blinks, he chuckles.

"Yeah, Techno. I'm surprised you can say it perfectly." The enderman stares at him, confused. Techno tilts his head and realizes the confusion, he looks in his inventory to give the enderman their diary. "Ah, it's not in here. Stay here for a moment, I'll get your diary."

"Techno-"

"Yes?"

"... Don't... Leave." Sadness morphed into Techno's face, concerned for the enderman's memory. "It's okay, it's okay. I'll be back in a few, you are safe up here so do not be afraid." He comforted them until they calmed down and let him go.

Techno climbs down the ladder with a growing fear, Ranboo is getting worse and worse almost everyday. Their memory have started to fade more and more, half of yesterday will not be remembered and not even a diary can help them feel what they're doing is the right thing they're supposed to do, they forgot their own son's name, they do not remember marrying someone, they do not remember the common language, they do not remember, they can't remember, why couldn't they remember?

"Found it." Techno mumbles to himself. He stared at the diary, unsure if it is still helpful to Ranboo at this point. It always felt like teaching a child the beginning of their time, the alphabets and the numbers again and over again. Techno remembered being annoyed at Ranboo and almost snapped at them, quickly realizing that he almost hurt Ranboo and nearly lost his built up patience. Techno always does his best to be gentle and careful with Ranboo, especially now that they are forgetting their memories to the point where it is worst that they do not remember how to cook or how to hunt.

"Hey. I got your diary." Techno smiles and the enderman tilts their head. Ranboo takes the book from Techno and flips it open, opening on random pages to the last one written. "The last one said... go hunting with Technoblade, you forgot how to hunt." Ranboo hesitantly said, mixing his native language and his English language. Techno understood well and nods his head. "Ah, yes. You said you forgot how to hunt food so you wanted me to train you." Ranboo blinks and looks at the diary.

If it says he forgot how to hunt and trusted Techno with it, then he will trust Techno and learn how to hunt.

Ranboo thought with a soft smile on their face and nods at Techno, wanting to learn to hunt for food and hopefully he will remember this by the next day.

The enderman gasps and jolts awake, breathing in the smell of a familiar scent, sweet and tasty. They do not remember that smell, but their senses seem to remember that it is something edible. They take in the space they are in and feel the cold of a season slipping through the cracks of the windows.

They remove the blanket from their body and step close to the window. They see... White. It is quite peaceful outside, there were white creatures jumping around and into, what they could describe as something, soft grounds and playfully bark at each other. The enderman finds it... What was the word?

"Ranboo?" They gasp and turn their body around to meet another creature, standing on two hooves and a body of a man.

"You're awake." Techno says in Enderman language.

The enderman perked up and blinks curiously, it let out a noise and the man answered back. They are surprised, but they felt grateful.

Techno repeated the same routine of getting Ranboo comfortable until he could remember the little things the enderman could say, before giving them the diary. This time Ranboo forgot about cooking so he was asked to learn how to cook by his past self and Techno does what it is told.

They made pancakes together and made rabbit stew. Even if Ranboo forgot the ingredients, it seems his muscle memory stays and knows what to do when cooking a certain dish. Techno was proud of him. He was happy to teach Ranboo what winter is, what it is like to throw snowballs and lay on the snow ground, what it feels like to take care of wolves again.

Hopefully he will remember this tomorrow.

The enderman gasps and jolts awake, breathing in for air and adjust their sight. The place seems... Dull. Familiar but gloomy, it was like the place is about to break, about to die, too old to live another century. The enderman hears the creaking noises and the trapdoor opens, revealing a man climbing in with something on their hand, a cube thing.

"Hey. You're awake." The deep voice startled the enderman.

The enderman answered back with a timid greetings and the man just smiled at him, nodding their head. They look familiar, they seem to be old but still on age. They have pink hair that seems to have not been cut for centuries, they even have a pink beard, must have been the genes.

"It's good that you are alright. Come down stairs and join me for breakfast."

Techno have grown a little older, it felt like yesterday he was still young at 22, now he is living in his 50s, have fully retired from fighting and now lives alone with Ranboo. Philza Minecraft have gone back to his wife, Lady Death. Niki had move with her lover and is happily married, owning the most known best bread and pastries in L'manburg. Connor had found a life he could live forever, free from fear and in a peaceful dimension.

Here, Techno have stayed with Ranboo in the Arctic, Dream SMP.

He could not leave the kid, he does not know what he would do with the rest of his remaining lives if Ranboo were not in a... Bad situation. He have asked Tubbo to come around a lot, but that quickly gone from everyday, to once a week, to a month, a year, and rarely... Perhaps never. But Michael comes by to pay his father a visit once in a while and take care of him when Techno is out to hunt for dinner.

Seems like Ranboo have grown a familiarity with Michael as Techno noticed the enderman feeling very safe and comfortable with his son when he visits.

"I lived here?" Ranboo asks and Techno nodded, looking at the worn down cabin where Ranboo used to live. He was moved into Techno's house when he was getting worse, so the house was left abandoned and forgotten, left unclean just like a ghost town. All day, Ranboo asked questions and Techno patiently answered them all with no secret to hold, even throws a little joke of what Ranboo used to do.

Ranboo wrote all down the interesting ones, maybe all. "What was your life like? What do you used to be like?" Techno did not break and answered truthfully. All of those wars he have fought for his friends, his found family, to protect his loved ones and keep them safe.

"That sounds so cool!" Techno chuckles at the mix of Ranboo's language and pats their back, inviting him to go on a hunt for dinner and he will tell more about him during their meal.

Hopefully they will remember this.

The enderman made no move, nor make a sound. After a moment, they gently lift the blanket off their body and look at the wearing down room. An old man sat on a chair by the window, a book in their hand and glasses rest on their nose. He lift his head up to look at the young enderman blinking at him with curiosity.

"I do not know who you are... But I feel like I trust you."
