Unexpected turns of events (Techbur/TechnoSoot)

10(Stress)

Techno returned back to Phil's before Wilbur, seeming a bit off from earlier and more distant than usual.

"I'm back." Techno called out closing the door behind himself and trudging towards the spare room he was staying in.

He took his boots off when he entered the room and flopped down onto the bed with an annoyed groan, burrying his face into the pillow and just laid there, annoyed and unmoving for awhile before he just curled up into a ball and stared at the wall, over thinking the conversation he's had.

Killing. He has to kill another fucking man that was threatening Schlatt's safety with unnecessary letters with death threats or just really creepy ones that knew some leaked info. Techno agreed that was a fair reason to track him down and that's normally how he got paid or what he did when he successfully sneaked out of the castle by himself. Though when he was caught that's when Dream was assigned to be his personal guard, one of the best fighters in the kingdom or even out of majority of the kingdoms. Only ever matched to Techno who's beat him in fights and viscera.

The picture of killing someone and very vivid in his mind so he covered his face with the pillow as if that would help and grumbled uncomfortably, as if that would get the picture out of his mind. Techno always seemed so indifferent about everything but in reality he was always stressed and just didn't want to say anything about it.

He stayed up for awhile either moving around on the bed or sitting on the edge of the bed, thinking to himself or found something to fidget with when his attention span was really short that night. Eventually he ended up getting off the bed and out of the room, still not changed out of the shirt and jeans from beforehand. He took careful steps into the kitchen, only a light thud was heard when he got off the bed.

Checking out the window to see it was really dark he sighed and walked back to his room and grabbed his boots, putting them back on and grabbing his sword and belt, putting them back on. His footsteps now a lot more weighted than before. Techno hummed to himself, walking towards the front door.

"Where do you think you're going this late at night?" Wilbur asked him, startling the prince.

"I-" he started and turned around to face the brown haired male, his movements more stiff.

Wilbur was leaning against the living room door frame, a very dim light shining on him but just enough to Techno to admire the males facial features for a bit.

"I was going to get some coffee." He sighed.

"There's coffee in the kitchen." Wilbur said pointing towards the kitchen with his thumb.

"I didn't want to use anything without them knowing so I was going to buy some." Techno continued to try clear things up, lying to Wilbur.

He wanted to go get his mission over with.

"I'll just say I had some, come on."

William yawned as he pushed himself off the door frame and started walking towards the kitchen. Techno stared at him for a moment, tempted to turn around and leave but decided not to, he's already hurt the man enough.

"...right." He mumbled and followed along behind him. The atmosphere between the two was an awkward one for the most part as they stayed quiet.

Wilbur was making Techno a cup of coffee as Techno sat at the table, looking around his to try look at anything but Wilbur in that moment.

"So, 'Dave' huh?" Wilbur questioned.

Techno felt an odd warmth flourish inside of him when Wilbur said his name.

"Yeah... it's fairly different from Techno isn't it?" Techno chuckled slightly finally meeting the boys eyes once again.

"Yeah, it's a nice name though." He smiled slightly placing the coffee in front of the mostly sleep deprived male.
