At Least We Have Each Other (SBI AU)

Chapter 16- Rescuers

Techno POV

When Techno woke up, he was surprised to feel comfortable. Since when was the ground this cozy? He struggled to open his eyes, fighting the urge to sleep more. He sat up straighter, his eyes wide. He looked around, trying to understand the unfamiliar room around him.

Where was he? Was he kidnapped? His heart dropped at the realization that his brothers weren't with him. Panicked, he slipped out of bed, glancing back towards the door. His heart pounded of the thought of his capturer coming in.

The room around him was the nicest room he had ever seen. Creamy yellow walls surrounded him, along with thick carpet beneath his feet. He couldn't understand how he could be standing in such a nice room. A small desk sat in the corner, alongside a rather large dresser. A second door stood near the window, which Techno could only assume was some kind of closet.

Techno tiptoed to the window, a plan forming in his head. He could escape, climb out the window and not look out... but what about his brothers? Immediately he sighed, regret weighing in his stomach at the thought. How could he think such a thing? He couldn't leave them to fend for themselves.

Suddenly the door opened behind him and Techno froze, his brain running through a million scenarios. He closed his eyes, ready for the yelling to begin. Whoever his capturer was, he knew they wouldn't be nice, no matter how nice the room seemed to be. People weren't trustworthy and he knew that.

"Oh good, you're awake." a man spoke warmly. The figure stepped further into the room, stopping to give Techno the room he desired. The man was silent for a moment before he softly asked, "Are you alright mate?"

The pinkette slowly opened his eyes, his heart still pounding. "Who are you-u?" he asked, sweat dripping down his back. Would he get mad? 

To his surprise, the man actually smiled. It actually seemed to be genuine, like for a moment he actually cared. "My name is Phil. I saved you from that awful man."

"Saved me?" he repeated, the events replaying in his head. Was the man telling the truth? Did he actually mean no harm?

"Well you and your brothers, of course."

Instantly anger boiled up inside Techno, just waiting for the cue to be released. "Where are they?! I swear if you-" he began, his fear fueling his anger even further.

Phil immediately took a step back, unsurprised by his sudden protectiveness. He tried to reassure the boy, "I would never lay a hand on you or your brothers, I can promise you that. I only kept you separate because your youngest brother wouldn't let go of you other brother."

Techno let out a small sigh of relief, but continued to glare at the man. He didn't trust him, even if his kindness did seem true. After all, his father had been the same thing in the beginning. "Take me to them." he growled.

"He's very sick and I don't think-"

"Let me see my brothers!" the brunette shouted, ready to anything he had to. Nothing was going to keep him from them.

A soft voice came from outside the room as a woman appeared. "What's going on in here?" She stepped beside Phil, her motherly gaze falling upon Techno. "Oh Phil, you're scaring him."

"He wants to go see his brothers but-" the blonde tried to explain, but the woman interrupted him.

"Then take him to them." she folded her arms, looking at Phil with an obvious look in her eye. It was no mystery that she meant what she said. She knew better than to separate family. "The youngest one has been asking for him."

"Is he okay?" Techno explained, panic striking his voice.

The woman smiled warmly, "Of course dear. Follow me and I'll take you to them." She lead him out of the room and towards a door at the end of the hall.

Looking at her, Techno was surprised. She seemed genuinely nice. Motherly almost.

 Why were these people so kind? It didn't make sense.
