Chapter XLV: Birthday

(Y/n POV)

I'm pulled out of my slumber by the grating sound of someone's alarm. I pull the duvet off of me and it hits Techno.

'When did I get into his bed again?'

'I don't ever remember coming back from the park last night.'

I stand up and march through the house to find the source of the alarm.

I meet a half asleep Wilbur on my way. His hair looks like a bird nest and his eyes are slits with how much he's squinting.

Wilbur: "Who the hell set an alarm on holiday?"

Me: "I think I have a pretty good idea."

Wilbur follows me to the room Tommy and I were supposed to share. Phil, Niki, Ranboo and tubbo are all already at the door. I walk through them and shove the door open. We all enter to find a snoring Tommy splayed across his bed, his head facing the wrong end of the bed, two limbs over the duvet and two limbs under it and his pillow on the floor.

'Kid sleeps like roadkill.'

Phil: "TOMMY WAKE UP!"

Tommy's snore catches and he sits upright.

Tommy: "I'm up, I'm up!"

Wilbur: "Why would you set an alarm you dickhead?!"

Tommy: "Uh... I wanted to wish y/n a happy birthday- oh hey y/n. Happy birthday."

Me: "Thank you, you asshole. You woke everyone in the house up except yourself."

Tommy: "Oh... that sucks for you guys."

Techno appears from nowhere and launches a pillow at Tommy's head.

Niki: "WOOO go techno!"
She cheers.

Techno spins on his heel and leaves the room, grabbing my wrist on the way.

Me: "Techno?"
I call. It wouldn't surprise me if he was sleepwalking right now.

Techno: "Come back to bed,"
He tells me.

So I follow him back to bed and we sleep for at least another two hours.

(Techno's POV)

When I wake up for the second time, Y/n is still asleep so I text Wilbur to ask if downstairs is set up yet. He tells me it is.

Me: "Y/n?"
I shake her a little bit.

She hums in response.

Me: "It's time to get up,"
I tell her.

I manage to wake her and get her downstairs.

Just as she's about to ask what's going on, all of our friends jump out from their hiding spots and yell "HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYY!!" and pull party poppers.

Y/n flinches and then freezes and then smiles at them. And then she smiles up at me and I can't help but smile back.

Me: "Surprise."

Y/n: "What are you grinning at?"

Me: "A beautiful girl."

Red creeps up her cheeks.

Y/n: "Smooth."
She holds up her hand for a high five.

Me: "As silk."
I don't look as I return her high five.

***

(Technos POV)

Y/n is sitting on the sofa with the remains of wrapping paper and multiple boxes beside her. She has a smile on her like a child on Christmas.

'I'd love to spend Christmas with her' I realise.

Phil: "Before Techno's gift, y/n, we have something to talk about."

Y/n: "Oh shit."
Her smile drops.

Phil: "I know you snuck out last night, y/n,"
His voice is suddenly intimidating.

Me: "Play dumb,"
I whisper in her ear.

Y/n: "Who's y/n?"

Me: "NO-"
I facepalm and the sound echoes across the room.

Tommy: "PHAHAHAAAAA-"

Wilbur: "HAHAA"

Y/n: "Techno and I were just hanging out in the park next to the house. Is that okay with you?"

Phil: "Hmm, as long as you were being safe."

Wilbur: "Safe in what way?"

Niki bursts out laughing.

Seeing the embarrassment on both of our faces, Phil and Wilbur laugh too.

Tommy: "Wait I don't get it. HEYYYY- I DONT GET IT SOMEBODY EXPLAIN!"

Everyone laughs harder.

As soon as everyone can breathe again, I give y/n her presents. She opens them one by one.

She gasps at the matching rings and makes me put them on with her immediately. Then she unwraps the chocolates I got her and immediately eats three of them, offering one to everyone. Finally, she unwraps the matching minecraft pig keychain and plushie.

Her face lights up.

Y/n: "BACONNNNN!"
She hugs the plushie tight to her.

It seems like years since we played on that Minecraft world with that stupid minecraft pig that she called bacon. I can't believe we've only known each other for a few weeks.

She pulls me out of my thought by wrapping her arms around my neck in a hug.

Y/n: "I love it! Thank you!"

Me: "I'm glad you like it."
I put my hands on the small of her back and hug her.

With y/n in my arms and our friends around us: this is paradise.

I could stay here forever.
