Fly Free - [Technoblade x reader]

Chapter 22 - An explanation is in order

The Piglin and Elytrian stood wide eyed, staring at the other hybrids who stood with their mouths open at the sight before them. How could he have forgotten about Wilbur and Tommy?? It had completely slipped his mind that they would both be in the house, his mind had been far too focused on getting [y/n] to safety.

As if his voice wasn't heard Tommy shouted once more, his voice almost rattling the cabin with how loud it was, it made Techno cringe a little, hoping no one else could hear.

"TECHNO, YOU BROUGHT A WOMAN BACK!! AND SHE'S A BIRD TOO, LOOK AT HER WINGS!!"

Techno rushed to Tommy, placing a hand over his mouth to hopefully shut the child up. "Tom, Tom, please, just be quiet..." His worried tone surprised the younger Avian, the sense of urgency in it something that Tommy wasn't used to.

As the Piglin was about to open his mouth again the Elytrian spoke up seemingly not sensing Techno's urgency in keeping the situation calm, "You're Tommy? Techno told me so much about you!" This really didn't seem like the time for introductions, but [y/n] seemed too busy in introducing herself, now looking at the Phantom, "And you're Wilbur, aren't you? I've heard you'd like to be a musician right?"

Her eagerness clearly surprised the hybrids, them both looking at each other before back at Techno who held a guilty expression. The two obviously taken aback at how this stranger knew personal details of their life, things they only discussed between themselves.

"Yeahhh... that's us, sorry who are you?" Wilbur was the first to speak up, asking the winged woman in front of him, trying to hold a friendly expression though it was clear he was incredibly confused and a little cautious.

Her face seemed to drop at his words. "You don't know who I am?"

The young boys shook their heads, prompting [y/n] to look behind her at the Piglin hybrid. Her brow raised as she questioned him, making the boys also turn their heads to look at Techno, who looked like he had been put on the spot.

"You haven't told them?"

Techno hated the fact that all eyes were on him right now. The confused look on the three hybrids he cared about the most made him feel as if he wanted to shrink down into himself. He hadn't planned on telling his brothers about the fact he was involved in the rebellion until they had won, however it seems like he'd have to break the news sooner than he expected.

"Listen, I can explain everything. Just- c-can we sit down, I need to make sure [y/n]'s wing is ok." He said, his hand rubbing the back of his neck, he could feel the sweat that had formed there, making the pink strands of hair stick to his neck.

No one said anything as they moved to the dining room and sat around the table, there were only three chairs so Techno opted to stand, letting [y/n] sit down. She seemed a little tired, not used to walking or running like they had to do to get to his cabin, though she was doing an incredible job at not showing it.

He watched as Wilbur sceptically sat down, his mouth in a straight line, making it more difficult to interpret the Phantom's thoughts in the moment. Tommy practically ran towards his seat, though his eyes never left the sight of [y/n]'s wings, it was evident he was in awe of how large they were. They were definitely something compared to his 'chicken wings' as he sometimes called them.

Before he could start explaining, Tommy decided to start firing questions away, Techno could see he was practically bouncing in his seat, desperate to know more. "So you're [y/n] right?! Techno just said your name, so that's obviously what it is, Techno is never wrong! Woahhh, your wings are awesome! You're not an Avian so that must mean you're an Elytrian! I thought those went extinct! Wait, doesn't that mean you're a part of the rebellion?! I can't believe-"
