Original plot for this chapter: Techno found Wilbur's old journal and found out he had a suicide attempt he hadn't told anyone about. Techno confronted him about it and Wilbur admitted to that and two more straight away, and Techno promised he wouldn't tell Phil.
"How many times have you tried to kill yourself?" Techno said bluntly, still looking down at the ground. Even still he could feel Wilbur's gaze on him. This was something new."Three times, why?" Wilbur asked, confused on where this was coming from. Wilbur knew he was lying.
"When were those times?" Techno questioned and Wilbur became even more confused. This usually wasn't something that Techno didn't talk about. Not unless it was something really serious. Was this really serious?
"Once before I came here, once in the first year and the second time after the thing with my mom. Why are you asking this?" Wilbur says confused, moving the photo album out of his lap.
"That's a lie Wilbur." Techno mumbled, and he looked up to look at Wilbur. Wilbur stared at him, panic and slight confusion running through him. Techno knew he was lying but how.
"I don't know what you mean by that Techno." Wilbur said, his tone slightly defensive.
"February 13th." Techno snapped at his brother and he watched as Wilbur's breath hitched. Wilbur looked around Techno, trying to find how Techno knew, but Techno had put the journal behind his back.
"Okay, just shut up." Wilbur said but Techno shook his head.
"So that means something to you." Techno points out but Wilbur shakes his head.
"No it doesn't. It means nothing to me." Wilbur bluntly lies. Techno stares at him, he couldn't be lying right now.
"Okay so if I just say something about it to dad then you'll have no issue with me doing that?" Techno asks, holding eye contact with Wilbur. Wilbur stares right back at him.
"I don't know what you would be telling him but sure." Wilbur says and Techno nods, and he turned to leave the room.
Wilbur didn't know what his plan was or what Techno was doing or how he knew, but he knew this wasn't going to end well.
He looked around the room for a moment before also leaving the library. They could always come back to sorting books. He went out of the room and through to the kitchen to the back porch. He pulled out his vape and stood there staring back at area around behind their house.
"February 13th made him flinch, and it said right here." He could faintly hear Techno's voice. Wilbur turned to look inside the house where Techno and Phil were in the kitchen, Techno holding his journal.
Wilbur got really angry, really fast.
He bolted inside, vape still in his mouth.
"How the fuck could you read that?" Wilbur asks, all the vape coming out of his mouth.
"Why didn't you tell me the truth?" Techno asks in response and Wilbur laughs.
"That's not the fucking question Technoblade, the question is how the fuck could you have read that, when it's clearly private and not yours to read." Wilbur snaps at him, Techno flinched at the use of his full first name. Phil looks between his sons.
"Alright, both of you. That's enough." Phil scolds but they both ignore him.
"Why did you lie about the suicide attempt Wilbur. That's huge fucking shit." Techno asks and Wilbur rolls his eyes while laughing again. Might as well put it out on the table right?
