Chapter Eight

         Upon arriving back at the house Tommy and Tubbo immediately went to sleep, Philza went to help Techno put the horses away and feed them and Kristen sat inside with Ophelia.

"So" Kristen started looked at the girl with a sly smile on her face "What's been happening with you and Technoblade?" she asked as Ophelia looked at her confused. "What do you mean? We've become friends, that's all." "Friends who dance together? I saw the way you looked at him out there and trust me, I know that look"

A blush spread across Ophelias face "Okay so maybe I think he's attractive that doesn't mean he feels the same or much less that we're dating or anything" Ophelia confessed looking down at her lap.

Kristen studied the girl for a second. She knew she could tell her how it is, that Technoblade definitely felt something, that he looked at her with the same light in his eyes that she sees everytime Phil looks at her, but this would have to be something Ophelia figures out herself. Even so, she could try to push Ophelia to seeing this sooner.

A mischievous look crossed Kristen's face, one Ophelia didn't seem to see. "Well moving on, I wanted to ask you about something I noticed today" Kristen started only continuing when she got a hum from the girl. "I noticed Technoblade got a blueberry pastry today, which is weird."

Ophelia looked at her with confusion "why is it weird?" "Well because his favorite is the cherry mochi. He normally picks his favorite things from his favorite memories, such as the cherry mochi, when he first had the cherry mochi was when Phil and I gifted him his cape. Though maybe now blueberry pastry is his favorite, I wonder what memory goes with it. Anyways im gonna head to bed, goodnight dear." Kristen finished, standing and giving Ophelia a kiss on the head before leaving. Ophelia responded with a "goodnight mumza" before sitting and thinking about her words.

Technoblade walked in the Ophelia sitting, deep in thoughts. "Hey" he said, startling the girl "are you okay?" he asked softly "hmm? Oh yea just uh, long day. And i'm tired. Goodnight Techs"

"Oh uh, goodnight" he said turning around, a blush rising to his cheeks at the nickname. "wait Techno?" "yea?" he asked, turning back around "You know, if you don't want the blueberry pastry you don't have to get it with me" "I know" "So uhm, if you don't mind me asking, why do you get it?" Technoblade shrugged before answering "It's my favorite"

Ophelia couldn't sleep. Her mind just kept replaying Technoblade's and Kristen's words over and over in her head.

"It's my favorite"

"He normally picks his favorite things from his favorite memories..."

"...maybe now blueberry pastry is his favorite, I wonder what memory goes with it..."

Ophelia just sat and wondered what he could mean by it being his favorite. After another hour or so of tossing and turning she decided to go out for some fresh air.

What she didn't expect was to run into the man who had be occupying her thoughts. "Hey" she said softly, standing beside the man. "Couldn't sleep either?" He asked "No, too many thoughts." Technoblade laughed softly "You could say that's why i'm awake as well." In reality it was the voices, though now they seemed to be, not quiet they were never quiet for long but rather, calm, and Technoblade doesn't know what really changed to make them calmer than they were a few seconds ago.

"Do you want to go for a walk?"

Ophelia and Technoblade walked silently side by side through the forest. It was nice and calming, the air in the forest was misty and warm, and the sounds of thw trees rustling and frogs croaking was something Ophelia had always enjoyed.

Over by a tree Ophelia noticed a light blue flower, the petals long and slim, curling towards the middle. A chrysanthemum. Excitedly, she ran over and picked the flower, and ran back to Technoblade. She giggled when she saw the confused expression on his face and handed it to him. "For you" she said with a bright smile playing on her lips.

Technoblade's cheeks dusted pink and he accepted the flower carefully, holding it softly in his hands as to not crush the petals. "Thank you" he said softly, giving the girl a soft and genuine smile.

Suddenly while walking Technoblade held his arm out in front of the girl to get her to stop walking. "Wh-" Ophelia had started before Techno moved his hand in front of her mouth to get quiet.

Watching Technoblade she noticed as his before calm demeanor had changed, now he was carefully searching the forest, his other hand by his sword, ready to pull it out if needed. Seeing Techno like this made Ophelia nervous as she began to nervous look around them, though it was too dark for her eyes to see much.

Technoblade began quietly creeping to see if there was anything in the trees beside them when the sound of glass breaking made him whip around to see a potion splashed at Ophelia's feet.

Technoblade grabbed the girl and unsheathed his sword, ready to attack whoever threw the potion.

'they hurt her kill them kill them' 'oh no! is she okay' 'check to see if she's okay!'

The voices filled Technoblade's head just as loud as ever, he turned around to face the girl who was standing in a state of shock. "are you okay?" Technoblade asked, searching her expressions for any sign of pain. The girl slowly nodded her head.

Technoblade grabbed her hand and ran, desperate to get them out as soon as possible. After a few seconds of running Technoblade noticed Ophelia's steady running slowly turned into stumbling. He stopped for a second to look at her "are you tired?" she shook her head "no no just, everything is spinning," she said, her words slurring slightly.

Technoblade came to the conclusion this was a failed kidnapping attempt. Someone saw Ophelia by herself and thought that if they threw a potion to make her drowsy itd be easy to kidnap her.

In a swift motion he picked her up, bridal style and carried her back into the house. When they got there he set her gently on the floor and sat next to her. "You can't sleep while the effects are in their prime like this, i'll keep you up until they start to wear off."

After a few minutes Technoblade felt Ophelia starring at him, he looked down to face the girl who looked as though she was seeing a double rainbow. "What?" he asked, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "You're pretty" She said as though it was obvious. A blush quickly spread across Technoblade's face.

He forgot this was a side effect of drowsy potions. He turned back and looked at his shoes, hoping she didn't see his blush.

Ophelia started hiccuping, and everytime she'd hiccup a purple bubble would come out and she'd gasp as though it was the first time it had happened. Technoblade chuckled each time, finding it rather cute. And that night they slept on the floor together, though it turned out to be the best sleep either of them had gotten in awhile.
