Jack of All Trades- Technoblade Love Story

[ Ｃ Ｈ Ａ Ｐ Ｔ Ｅ Ｒ Ｔ Ｈ Ｉ Ｒ Ｔ Ｙ－Ｔ Ｈ Ｒ Ｅ Ｅ ]

I let my legs guide me to the door of my room, and when I was rubbing the tiredness from my eyes I felt tear tracks I didn't even know I had made.

My breathing was shallow as I moved silently, I looked over to Techno's room as I passed it. I reached out, and barely grazed the doorknob with my fingers. The metal was cold, and I remembered the small blemish on my finger. I inspected the dried blood before continuing down the hall away from where Techno was peacefully asleep.

I didn't have a crutch or anything to use as one, but I pretended the pain in my leg didn't exist as I continued down the stairs.

I don't do stuff like this usually, I don't shut down into autopilot. The last time I remember doing this was the night I was so selfish and left Maggie. It wasn't long before I was at the front door, the golden handles of the double doors were beckoning for me to open them. I complied, and I pressed the small injury of my finger onto the handle as I opened it. I knew that the pain was there, but I couldn't really feel it.

I looked up from the middle of the driveway, the half moon was a beacon of light in the otherwise pitch black area.

My legs already felt a bit numb from the biting cold, and I was starting to notice my knee a bit more. The wet grass was cool beneath my bare feet, so I sat and watched for a bit, listening to the sounds I could hear around me.

The chirp of a cicada, the rustle of leaves, the howl of the wind which was sending a mind-numbing cold over my body. There was one sound that I eventually heard that I didn't expect, the movement of something over the driveway and a soft whisper, almost as if they were scared to say my name. "Angie?"

Wilbur had helped me inside, and was now dragging me to Techno's room despite my quiet protests. "Please let me go to bed Wil, you know I just need a little rest and I'll feel better in the morning, I promise." I tried to convince him with the little energy I had, but it was almost like he couldn't hear me. "I'll make you whatever you want for lunch tomorrow, and dinner! I don't want to be a bother and poor Techno has been so worried about me. He needs sleep. I will be okay you don't have to worr-" He cut me off by grabbing my shoulders so our eyes could meet. "If you tell me you don't want to be a bother one more time, I will wake up this entire house to make sure you are okay. You matter to me more than anybody else in the world and i'm sure Techno would happily stay up all night every night if it meant you wouldn't ever be upset."

I almost burst into tears then and there, Wil was my best friend and always knew what to say. I stayed quiet and lifted up my hand to chew on my nails as we approached Techno's room, and I don't know why it made me so nervous to bother him right now.

I got a flashback to a night when I was really young, I had a bad nightmare and was knocking on my parent's door just like I was doing now. When they did come to the door, I was ushered back to my room and scolded for being a nuisance that late at night.

That was the last time I would ask someone for help that I could remember, and a lot of my antics suddenly make sense.

Before I could delve into that, the creaky door opened to reveal Techno, obviously he had just woken up from the squint in his eyes and the fact he still looked half asleep. He looked to Wilbur first and then to me, and furrowed his eyebrows confusedly. I was still shivering from the overwhelming cold I had experienced, and as Wilbur explained how he found me after hearing the door close I couldn't bear to do anything other than cross my arms and stare at the floor.

Wilbur didn't even get through the whole story before Techno pulled me into a hug, and I tuned out everything except the occasional rumble of Techno's chest as he spoke. I don't know how long they stood talking, but soon enough I was laying in a bed that smelled like Techno's shampoo, holding his hand as I laid awake yet again, but this time I didn't mind not being able to sleep.

It was a groggy morning, and Techno helped me go up to my room where I changed into fresh clothes. A cozy sweater and matching socks made me feel a bit better, but the thing that really brought a smile to my face was Techno standing waiting right outside my room.

He stayed by my side for the whole morning, but he had plans to film with Phil in the afternoon. Niki and Wilbur were streaming together and Tubbo was watching a movie in the basement, leaving just me in the living room, and Tommy who was watching me like a hawk from the other couch in the room.

I was pretty sure Techno had told him to do this, and every once in a while when I looked up from my phone to smile at him I laughed a bit on the inside at how seriously he was taking this. "Tubbo's downstairs right now you know, go watch the movie with him!" I eventually spoke, I was really guilty about occupying the poor kid's time.

"No, I think i'm okay here... do you want a glass of water?" He got up, walking towards the kitchen but still meeting my gaze. "Sure..." I spoke hesitantly, I still felt bad that he had to watch me like a toddler. He came back with two glasses of water, setting them on the table in front of us. He looked over to the TV, and grabbed a remote. "Have you ever played Wii? I've seen Schlatt play it and it looks pretty cool."

This changed my mood around immediately. Wii had been my first console, and the nostalgia factor combined with the fact I was about to beat the unsuspecting Tommy at every game we played couldn't help but put a smile on my face.

"Ten bucks says I can lap you in mario kart." "You're on..."

Philza came upstairs later to a half empty bag of chips, 2 empty soda cans and 2 more half full, and two people who were having the time of their life on an ancient console. He couldn't help but send Tommy a thumbs up, to which he responded with a nod of understanding. Tubbo and Techno eventually joined in playing, and for a while, I felt a little better. It wasn't a long while, but it was enough to keep on going.
