Fly Free - [Technoblade x reader]

Chapter 21 - A Slight Detour

Techno watched as the glow of the sun disappeared from the sky, instead illuminating the world in a midnight blue, stars speckled across the sky. He was on his way back to the village after having a few hours napping at home and talking to Will and Tommy.

Thankfully he wasn't asked to stay behind by Sam when he had run into him as he passed the hunters camp. Techno could see the frustration written all over Sam's face, with him clearly being bothered by the recent actions of the rebellion. The hunters hadn't had a single catch in around a month, Sam was obviously quite stressed, and frankly Techno felt a little bad for him.

The Creeper hybrid was understandably trying to plan something to get rid of the rebellion, considering he had asked Techno to refrain from going on any of the larger hunts for hybrids. The Piglin had no idea what he was planning, but for now he had to focus on the rescue for tonight.

As he swept aside the ivory that led into the village he was expecting to see a familiar face, one that he knew would make him lose all nervousness and worry he had in him. After the events of the day before, he did admit he had felt tingly every time he thought of the Elytrian. A part of him wanted to deny it, but he couldn't when it was painfully obvious like this. Right now was not the moment for it though, he could think about her all he wanted to after the rescue tonight.

A figure stood in front of him and as he was about to call [y/n]'s name he stopped, realising it in fact wasn't her.

"Oh, you're back..." Fundy's voice rang out sarcastically as the Fox gave him a side eye with his paws crossed.

Oh great. Fundy. Techno thought Fundy was alright with him now? What was this dude's problem with him?

"I'm back for the rescue today, the one by the East side of the river?" The Piglin retorted, trying to sound as nice as he could with his gritted teeth.

"Fantastic..." The Fox hybrid mumbled out, "I guess I'm stuck with you for tonight then, I'm helping Niki and Ranboo escort any hybrids we save tonight." Techno watched as Fundy rolled his eyes, obviously upset about the fact he would have to be in the presence of the Piglin hybrid.

Techno also rolled his eyes, sick of the childish behaviour Fundy displayed. "I'm trying to help all hybrids, that includes you ya'know?" He said, his voice a tad harsh as one of his hands rested on his hip.

"Yeah I know." Fundy replied nonchalantly, "And I don't care."

What was wrong with him?...

"We'll get your cousin back, I swear Fundy."

The Fox's shoulders seemed to rise at this, with him flinching at the mention of his captured cousin. "No. We won't get him back. I'll save him. I don't want you going anywhere near him. The only people I would trust with helping me are Niki, Ranboo, Phil and [y/n]. Not you." His words had an aggressive edge to them, almost threatening.

"Why?" Techno asked shortly.

Fundy's shoulders rose even higher. "Because, you happily joined the hunters when it benefitted you and only you. I don't trust someone who would've hunted hybrids of their own accord. The only reason you're not doing that right now is because of-"

"Hey guys!" A [y/n]'s voice interrupted, stopping Fundy in his tracks and cutting him off. "What are you guys talking about?!" She spoke energetically, catching the two arguing hybrids off guard.

"Nothing much, nothing at all..." Fundy replied, trying to hold a clear fake smile on his face to not come off as rude in front of the Elytrian.

The Fox backed away a little, relaxing his posture now [y/n] was here. It was clear he was getting annoyed before but now the presence of the Elytrian had diffused the situation entirely. Techno knew that Fundy was just about to say [y/n]'s name before she flew in, and though he pushed the conversation with the Fox to the back of his mind, he couldn't help but feel as if Fundy might be right...
