11| My Tubbo

~Y/N POV~

"Deal." I said, once again, my life being put in the hands of others. I was used to it, everyone thinking I was too weak to stand for myself, too weak fight for myself, when I had proven I was. This was the only thought that went through my head as Techno fought for my life, thinking about how I could easily beat Sapnap and fight for myself, but it would be daunt as "unfair" because Sapnap wouldn't hurt me. All I could think about was how much I hated it, how much I wanted to be able to fight for myself all the time. Was I weak? Was I not good enough to be a warrior? Was I not good enough to fight for my parents after they fought so hard for me?

"Wait." I finally spoke up as the two men lined up to fight against each other. They stepped out of their defensive positions, and looked to me. "I want to fight instead of Techno." I said.

"Y/N are you crazy? He'll just call it unfair, because he won't hurt you." Techno defended.

"If he wants me, he's gonna have to fight for me." I said, picking up a sword and shield.

"Well, you're insane if you think I won't hurt you." Sapnap said, smirking.

"And you're insane if you think I can't beat you." I snapped back.

He swug his axe deep into my shield and quickly pulled it back again, taking his defensive position only this time, his shield in front of him as I pull out Dreams crossbow, and load it.

"I don't like this attitude you have going on." Sapnap smirked, now moving towards me, trying to get a good swing on my leg, to knock me down. This plan worked, he unsuspectedly grazed the blade of his axe against the fragile skin on my ankle. It was a deep cut, one that would get infected if not treated right, but that was a problem for later. I bit down on my tongue, stopping myself from groaning in pain, and pressing my head to my shield as he stood above me, trying to claim victory. I saw an opening, and slit his ankles, making him back away from me, and fall to floor gripping his ankles in pain. I stood up, and held my hand in the air, signifying he needed to get up or I would strike again. He took this, and got up, ready to strike again. His elbows were lifted, and his axe pointed at me with his arms lifted to me. With a quick motion, I ran to him then ducked under his left arm, and ran my sharp blade across his side, the crimson color bled through his white undershirt and he fell to his knees, too unstable to walk. Feeling confident, I said,

"Get up and patch yourself up, we have 5 more rounds.".

He took a quick breath, and got up to head to bandage his wounds. I did the same, and bandaged my ankle, disinfecting it and wrapping it tightly in the wool bandages. And walked back to his leaning figure, bent over at an attempt to heal himself.

I looked above the blade of my sword, pointing it right to his heart, and charged. He countered my movement and slid himself under me, as I had done beforehand. Before he could leave me defenseless, I planted my hands on the ground, and swung myself over my head, making Sapnap confused as to where I was. He looked around, and turned his head to me charging him from behind, and swinging my sword into a deadly hit above his head. He moved out of the way, in fear of losing his life. I landed with my right foot forward, almost losing balance when he pulled me to his chest and put the sharp blade against my neck.

"I win." He whispered in my ear which only made me rage harder.

The battles had left us tired, out of breath, bloody, and tied. He won 3, and I won 3.

We lined up for a tiebreaker, I pulled my combat boots back on after inspecting my ankle once more, and standing up ready to fight again. We weren't to use weapons, only our fists, and whoever calapses first loses. I threw my sword to the side, he did that same with his axe. We raised our fists, he swing first while my head swing the opposite direction. I used the opening and kicked my knee into his stomach, he bent over before quickly regaining his balance, and holding his fists up again. We both panted, before I swung again. It was a quick jab that caught him offgaurd, followed by an uppercut. He quickly regained his posture and swing back at me, landing a hard punch in my nose. I lean back and clutch my nose as he swings again. I keep one hand on my nose, and catch his hand midair while his other hands swings at full force at my cheekbone. I groaned in pain before kneeing him in the stomach. My feet swung under his and knocked him off balance. He got angry when he was knocked to the ground, he got up panting.

"That all you got? C'mon babygirl show me some more moves."

Babygirl? Really? That's so cringe.

I turned away from him, and stood still. He seemed confused, but took charge anyways. I began to run to the small house Techno and I built, before running up the wall, and flying back over Sapnap. He was running quickly, so he ran into the wall, expecting it to be me. I look to him on the ground, walk to him, grab the collar of his shirt, only before punching him strait in the nose, over and over, until he eventually begged me to stop. I look to his tired corpse on the ground, bloodied and bruised, and realized mine looked similar. Just as I claimed victory I heard a familiar voice behind me, along with pattering footsteps.

"Y/N!" Dream shouted, making me turn around to face him. He didn't have his mask on, and God he was beautiful. I was aware what I looked like, bloody. He looked so relieved to see me, but his face dropped when he saw my appearance. "What happened?" He said wity a now stern voice.

"I won, that's what happened." I said with a relived, finally taking in the feeling of victory. The thing I wanted to fight for since I lost my parents, the thing that would set me free. And it felt great.

Arms wrapped around me, then shifted until I was fully off the ground, and in Dreams arms. He began to carry me into the house, and I caught a glimpse of Technos slight smirk. I was glad to have him as a friend, because I knew he was a good one. He was like my Tubbo, but a little more violent. He nods to me, telling me he's proud. It felt good knowing I was cared for, when Wilbur, Tommy, and Tubbo were killed, I felt like I had no one, I would never have anyone. But I do, I have Dream, and Techno. And for now, that's all I need. And I'm okay with that. I'm okay with a simple life, where the love of my life and I can build a cottage in the woods. Where we would never be found, where we could listen to Mellohi, and the other disks Dream had stolen from Tommy after he died. Where we could dance in the rain, in the small clearings as the smoke from the fire drifted out of the chimney. Where the water tricked down streams silently. Where we could love each other. Where we could be happy. That's all I want, to be happy.

Unfortunately, that wouldn't happen quite yet.
