Chapter Fifteen

     The week passed quickly, Technoblade and Ophelia hadn't talked about the kiss but that might be because they were too busy pretending it didn't happen instead of actually, you know, talking. They figured there would be plenty of time after to talk about their feelings.

"Okay so you guys will be there ahead of time, Philza will be meeting you there. When the crowd is full i'll slip in. At some point my father is sure to make a toast and that'll be our cue." Ophelia said, looking over towards Technoblade and Charlie, both who nodded as confirmation that everything was clear.

"Great." Ophelia said clasping her hands together "Lets get ready to dance boys."

Ophelia watched as the boys walked out the door. Technoblade was dressed in a fancy white button up and pants. He wore his mask, it was a masquerade ball after all, and his pink hair was carefully braided, and he wore no weapons as the guards would confiscate them at the door anyways. Charlie wore his servant suit as he was working today.

After the left she slipped on the pink dress, the bodice detailed with sparkly gems, the skirt wasn't too fluffy but wasn't skin tight. The sleeves were a mesh lace that hung off her shoulders. She had a simple pink mask that covered her eyes and she hoped she wasn't too recognizable.

An hour had gone by and Ophelia was ready to join the party. She slipped on pink slippers and headed out the door, towards the place she once knew as home.

After getting through the entrance Ophelia made sure to avoid the giant stairs that stood directly in the middle of the dance floor that would be sure to draw attention to her. Instead she snuck to the side, climbing down a small stair case that the servants used.

When going down to the main floor Ophelia stuck to the side, eyes searching for Technoblade. Suddenly she ran into someone, looking at the person she was ready to apologize until her eyes met with a similar red and green set.

Ranboo's eyes widened in excitement and Ophelia quickly pulled him into a small hallway before hugging the boy, never wanting to let go. "I knew you'd come back!" Ranboo said excitedly, pulling away from the hug to give the girl a bright smile.

"Of course I did Ranboo, you're like a brother to me" Ophelia said smiling as she sniffed and wipe her eyes. "And!" Ranboo said, digging through his pocket and pulling out a piece of paper that was ripped along the side.

"I found this! And mentioned going foraging and I remembered we didn't and so I found your mothers foraging book and i've been piecing together the clues!" Ranboo said proudly, his eyes sparkling with joy. Ophelia gave Ranboo a sad sympathetic smile "I knew you could do it" She said weakly, Ranboo gleaming at the compliment as Ophelia ruffled her hair.

"I even went and found the mulberries! And-" Ranboo started again before Ophelia cut him off "Im so sorry Ranboo but we can catch up later yea?" She said, giving him a genuine smile "Yea! yea ill go do that then!" He said, running off to the kitchen.

As soon as he was out of ear shot Ophelia let out a sigh. He didn't remember going foraging with her, his memory is getting worse. At least, he thinks it was a clue she left so he wouldn't be hurt by the fact he couldn't remember. Ophelia wouldn't be able to stand seeing him like that.

Walking along the sides Ophelia finally found Technoblade. Rushing up to him she tapped on his shoulder. Turning around he went to greet the girl but his words got caught in his throat when he saw her.

"Hey!" Ophelia said, giving him a smile "Sorry it took so long, I found Ranboo!" Technoblade finally cleared his throat and looked away, trying to hide the red on his cheeks. "That's okay." He finally managed to say as Phil sent him a teasing look.

"What should we do until the toast?" Technoblade asked, turning back to Ophelia. "We shouldn't stand still so long, lets dance!" She replied, grabbing his hand and pulling him to the dance floor.

Technoblade interlaced their hands and placed his other on her back while she placed her other on his shoulder. Just like they had done so many times before, they danced.

The stress of their mission, worries of Ranboo, and everything else seemed to melt away as they danced. Ophelia could focus on the man in front of her, and the way his gentle yet firm touch made her feel like she was full of electricity, and she felt safe there, in his arms.

Their eyes were locked deep with each other and it felt like they were the only two people right now. Ophelia got closer to his face and kissed him. The kiss was sweet and longing, she pulled away after a second and they rested their foreheads together.

Maybe it was the music.

Or the kiss.

Maybe it was how Technoblade saved her life many times.

Maybe it was the moment.

Whatever it was, it pulled Ophelia to tell Technoblade three words that would change everything.

"I love you"
