Hanging in there - A DDLC X DSMP CROSSOVER

Chapter 29 - Techno?

A/n - A MILLION APOLOGIES! I'M VERY SORRY FOR NOT POSTING. I'M NOT DEAD LIFE JUST GETS IN THE WAY. TO MAKE UP FOR THIS I WILL BE POSTING CHAPTERS LIKE SONIC. GOTTA GO FAST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE!

Our blades slash through mid-air as we both jump backward. The clang of metal on metal resonates throughout the small room. Sweat is already appearing on my forehead. Seriously? Not even a bit fazed? My opponent is much more formidable than me. The way he moves, the way he slashes his sword, it's clear he's been in many battles before. I'm barely holding my own. Stupid Sayori! I mentally scold myself. If I hadn't got my sword out, this would've never happened, I would've found Wilbur and Tommy, and I think I'm going to die now. All the air gets knocked out of my body as the person delivers a sweeping kick at my legs. I go down on the floor, trying to block the sword in front of my throat. I gasp for breath. My opponent's won. Already. It hasn't even been five minutes. Totally embarrassing.

"So. Why. Are. You. Here?" He asks in a threatening monotone voice.

"Uhh..." I try to speak, still gulping for air.

He just sighs."Look. We can do this the easy way. Or the hard wa-" His voice is cut of as a figure bursts open a secret door. Well, make that two figures. I squint, trying to see who they are, but I feel dizzy.

"Sayori!" Wilbur's voice.

"Techno! Let go of her! She's a friend!" Tommy. Techno releases me immediately.

"You're 'friend' almost got themselves killed." He says to Tommy.

He gasps, "Sayori! What happened?"

"She picked a fight with me." He sounds mutually impressed. Tommy's eyes grow wide,

"You picked a fight with Techno?! But that's so unlike you! And with Techno of all people!"

"Tommy, instead of bickering with Sayori, actually try to help her up." Wilbur rolls his eyes disapprovingly."Oh. Sorry!" Tommy immediately attempts to haul me up, then crashes me into a giant hug."I missed you so much!" He whispers in my ear, "Now don't tell Wilbur this but it kinda sucks down here, especially without you." My cheeks heat up slightly,

"Aww... thanks Tommy." I lightly punch him in the arm.

Techno eyes the both of us, "What is she, your girlfriend or something?"

Tommy lets go of me, embarrassed, "No! Techno, we're good friends, besides, uhh..." His eyes trail to the ground. "I'm 100% gay!" He bursts. Woah! Didn't except that one coming!

"Tommy, why don't we discuss your sexuality inside, it's freezing!" Wilbur sternly ushers us inside, with Techno following us closely.

~Time skip~

"-And that's how we ended up here, with a potato-obssesed brother." Wilbur finishes.

"Wait, let me get this straight," I say, "You, Tommy and Techno are all brothers?"

"Yep." Confirms Wilbur.

"And Tubbo is your adopted brother, a guy named Philza is your father..." I continue.Tommy nods his head in confirmation.And finally, the last bit which I literally cannot get my head around, "And Wilbur, you fucked a salmon, and Fundy, a literal fox, is your son?" I ask disbelievingly. How is that literally possible?Wilbur bobs his head up and down. "All right, I need to go for a walk." I stand up and leave, until Tommy tugs my shirt,

"Sayori! I need to give you something!" He hands me a compass, with the label of So you don't get lost etched on it. "It's a compass, if you ever get lost. It will lead you back here."

"Thanks Tommy!" I eagerly accept the gift. I start walking outside, onto the freezing cold snow, my boots stepping over the snow, making a crunching sound as they do. I turn left to the forest of trees, walking further into the woods. I find a decent sized tree, and climb it, ascending it's branches until I reach the top. Sitting down in a not so comfortable position, I let myself fade away and take deep breaths. In.Out.In.Out.In.Out.I-"Are you planning on going down from there anytime soon?" Techno's voice cuts through the air, making me lose my concentration.

"Uwaa!-" I cry as I fall off the tree, landing on the snow with my head bumping on a tree root... or... not quite on the tree root, but in someone's arms. I open my eyes to see Techno holding me (ok wtf am I writing?) in his arms.

"Had fun?" He asks, smirking. Groaning, I get up and fall flat on the snow. Yeah, we do not talk about what just happened. "I noticed the way you fight when we fought. Your form's all sloppy, and your fighting technique is trash." Excuse me? Is this pig dude mocking me on my ability to fight? Well in that case... he's absolutely right! I suck at fighting! Fundy had once attempted to teach me how to defend myself, with it ending in me almost decapitating him just from the way I held my stance.

"Yeah, you're right, I'm not good at fighting. What do you want me to do about it?" I ask him angrily. All of a sudden, he laughs. I've never heard him laugh before, so it was a surprise to hear his monotone voice rise a few octaves. Wheezing, he chuckles.

"Do you want me to teach you how to fight?" He asks, after he's recovered. How can I possibly turn down the offer of someone as formidable as him to teach me? How to fight?

"Hell yeah!" I say, the thoughts of what had happened long forgotten.

"Let's do this!"
