Fly Free - [Technoblade x reader]

Chapter 5 - Back home

Techno now walked back home, tired, confused and also frustrated that the voices had suddenly returned halfway through his journey back. The hunters debrief after the hunt was not only boring but the humans that were there were so blatantly racist towards hybrids that he felt like he didn't even need the voices to feel as if he should murder them all.

No one really questioned the bow on Techno's back except for Sam to which Techno responded, lying that one of the other hunters must have dropped it while out and he picked it up. Sam had seemed a little unsure of his friend's answer considering how well made the bow looked, yet he believed his pink haired colleague.

While Techno hadn't hunted anything, a few other hunters had seemed to catch a poor fox hybrid, the poor creature screamed and shouted in his ropes and bindings. At one point he even seemed to be praying (who too Techno had no idea, there were no gods that would come down to help the boy). He was taken away before Techno could see much more of him.

Sam had also caught a couple of feline hybrids, they were knocked unconscious and carefully tied up, unlike the fox hybrid which seemed to have many ropes loosely tied, implying how unskilled the human hunters were.

Techno had also overheard a few conversations the humans had. Disgusting, that's all he could say. The way they saw hybrids as not only a burden but a "bunch of creatures that all need to burn in hell", that's how they described them. They couldn't care less if Techno was behind them or not, or if Sam was there, it was never going to change their perception of hybrids.

The voices brought him back to the present and started to annoy him once again as he carried on his way back to the boys. He had been able to buy them a little something special after getting his first payment. He wasn't an idiot and spent it all in one go (like Tommy would if he had access to it), but he did want to treat his boys, something he hadn't done in a long time.

He was able to get some slightly more expensive herbs for Tommy's vegetarian stomach and a nice chunk of meat for himself and Wilbur. Some money was still left over after that too! Heck apparently it was a bad day for the hunt done, yet all of this money for catching a few hybrids?

That did make Techno pause once again, his mind drifting to what the Elytrian girl had said to him in the opening of the forest, that he was 'different' and 'not like the others'. Why did he feel guilty about being a hunter around her? And even when he got away from her he still felt some sort of weird connection to her, and the voices too, how did she-?

He closed his eyes. "Stop thinking about her." He whispered to himself in a demanding tone, more towards the voices than anything else.

By this time he was already home, the cobblestone floor under his feet a little more worn down where the entrance to the shack was. He glanced down at the food wrapped in a cream cloth in his arms and sighed at the thought of what it was equivalent to. Captured hybrids. Hopefully the boys would take it well and focus on the food instead.

"I'm home!" His voice boomed through the small spruce shack, and he could hear the faint rush of footsteps coming to greet him.

"BIG MANNNNN!" It was Tommy of course. His loud and childish reaction to his big brother returning was cute and made Techno smile a little, quite a rare sight I must add.

"So," Tommy carried on as he continued to rush towards the Piglin hybrid and envelope him in a hug, "How was it, how was your first day on the job?"

This was something Techno hadn't taken into account, the fact that his youngest brother would be almost completely oblivious to the fact that other creatures like himself may have died from his siblings hand. Of course, he was still a child.
