40 - Explosions

the festival does not happen in this story, i just really wanna end this soon because my ideas are running out :(

I stayed looking at the note for a while. Techno wouldn't lie, but why would he want to stop Wilbur? He's always been a fan of chaos and anarchy, there's no reason as to why he would want to stop Wilbur.

I stuffed the note in my pocket, and walked out my room, slowly but surely. I tiptoed up the stairs, and went to Manburg. I needed to meet with Techno, and talk about this issue.

I made it to Manburg. It was late, dark, and scary as hell. I walked around, sword at the ready, just in case a mob came up behind me.

I continued walking, the leaves crunching below my feet. I heard a small Sssssssssss before turning around to a green figure. It was big, and did not hesitate to explode.

The green figure exploded into a white cloud. I looked up and saw a pink haired man handing me his hand. I gladly took it, and wiped off some grass from my pants.

"What are you doing here so late, kid?"

"Needed to talk to you. Where would it be?" I asked, and Techno sighed, and walked me over to a bench.

He sat down, and took off his crown.

"Honestly, I thought you'd know." He sighed again, and hung his head low.

"Take me to where you found the tnt, Techno." I said, and his head shot up.

"That's dangerous, it could go off-"

"Techno. Take me to where you found the tnt." I cut him off, and he stood up. He put his crown back on, and led me down a very narrow tunnel.

He broke the final 2 blocks at the end of the tunnel, and walked through. I saw a small 5x5 hole. I stepped through it; and saw 10 pieces of tnt, evenly divided. My fingers grazed the tnt, and i found a trail of red-stone dust. I followed it, breaking through the rock.

I stumbled upon a room, which had signs all over, a chair, and a button. I waved at Techno to come where I was, and he ran over.

"Holy shit..." Techno said. I was taken back by his choice of words, but honestly, I'd say the same.

"Do we... destroy the redstone connected?" I asked, and Techno nodded.

I walked to the hallway, and dragged the redstone dust away from the button. I cleaned off the rest of the dust from my hands, and walked with Techno back to the surface.

Techno put his hand on my shoulder, and I turned around. His eyes had a crystal clear layer over his brown eyes. He was tearing up. I was confused as to why, but those thoughts went away when I felt arms around my body, and Techno's coat graced my cheek. I felt a small sob come from him, which triggered my tears. I hugged back tightly, and held back a couple tears. Techno didn't hold back though. He finally pulled back, and his cheeks were soaked by how much he cried. I wiped them off with my hoodie sleeve, and smiled softly. He shuffled around on his feet, and sniffled a bit. I gave him one last hug, and a little pat on the head. He smiled, and I ran off back to Pogtopia.

I walked down the steps slowly, but saw a shadow slowly waking around. I stayed still, and saw that Quackity was sleep walking.

I held back a laugh, and led him back to his bed. I went back to my room and sat on my bed. I leaned against the wall behind my bed, and fidgeted with my fingers.

I did the right thing, why does it feel like I didn't?

My thoughts lured me to sleep.

I woke up to a loud thud in front of my door. I slipped out of bed, and opened my door to 3 boxes on the floor, and Wilbur scratching the back of his neck.

"Did I wake you up?"

"No."

Yes. You did wake me up. I'm just too kind to go off at you at 5 in the morning.

"Good good, wanna help with the boxes?" Wilbur asked and I laughed.

"PHHT. No way."

I said, and stepped over the boxes to Tommy's room. He was still sound asleep, but whatever. I sat on the edge of the bed, and shook him a bit. A couple grumbles came out of him, so I shook him more.

"5 more minutes..." Tommy said, his voice deep and tired. I sighed and stood up, but was pulled back by Tommy.

"That doesn't mean leave" Tommy said, and I choked on the saliva in my mouth. I laughed softly, but stayed on the bed. Tommy's hand was around my waist, but not all the way. It was just resting there, comforting me. I stayed there fidgeting with his fingers, until he fell asleep again. I sighed and got out of his room, and Wilbur was picking up the boxes.

"Here, i'll help." I said, grabbing the box on top. He smiled and I followed to where he wanted to put them.

Awfully close to the nether portal, he placed down the boxes and stretched his back.

"What do these boxes have anyways?" I asked, and he opened the box I was holding.

I looked inside and saw tons of sand and gravel. I looked up at Wilbur, confused, but didn't ask any questions. I put my box next to Wilbur's, and walked back to the bedrooms. I walked into Quackity's to see if he was awake, but nope.

Both of the boys were still sleeping, so it was just Wilbur and I. I sat down where Wilbur was, and silence filled the room. I shifted around in my seat a bit before finally saying something.

"I'm sorry if it seemed like I was mad at you yesterday, it was just overwhelming."

"I understand, y/n, i shouldn't have done what I did."

"It's alright, I understand." I said, and silence filled the room.

"I still want to blow up the place, y/n" Wilbur said, ruffling his hair.

"It's not too far gone, Wil. We can still get it back." I said.

"I don't want it back. I don't want to take it by force. I just don't want it to exist anymore. I'm doing it, with or without you." Wilbur said, dusting off his pants.

"Whatever you do, i'm staying by your side." I said, which made Wilburs head shoot up.

"Really?" He said, and I nodded.

"Once a L'manburgian, always a L'manburgian." I said, and he smiled.
