tw: memory loss

"i feel lost" y/n mumbled,

"why's that?" techno replied, guiding her through the heated, mossy warped forest.

"you would think that i would start to remember these things, these incredible things... but i can't, it all feels so new" she frowned. techno furrowed his brows, nodding.

"look at the bright side... you get to experience all these wonderful things again" he mumbled, smiling down at her. she nodded, smiling in return.

"i'm glad you can guide me... you're so clever" she grinned, techno chuckled, reddening.

"we have our strengths..." he mumbled, "i envy your innocence and wonder, you keep me inquisitive" he smiled.

"you keep me rational" she added, following his steps into a clearing-

"look-" he whispered, gazing into the ashy beginning of another trail. "basalt" he acknowledged, y/n grinned, starting froward- however halted as techno gripped onto her hand, pulling her back. "-too much lava..." he mumbled, tugging her back to him. y/n nodded, squeezing on to his hand and following him again. "we should head back soon..." he sighed, examining his golden pocket watch. y/n nodded again,

"you said you had a surprise for me..." she smiled, techno chuckled.

"yes..." he grinned, taking her down another pathway, "it should be dark by now..." he mumbled to himself, clearing through trees and fiery shrubbery. "we used to go here every year together, me and wilbur..." he sighed. y/n nodded, the name sounding slightly familiar. "you've never seen a dark forest... have you...?" he turned his head down to her, she shook her head- techno smiled. "you'll love it"

"is there going to be more snow...? or more fire?" she mumbled,

"no- not at all... there's no snow, and no lava, it's perfect..." he whispered, guiding her to a new portal, overgrown and slightly eroded, but still working perfectly. "c'mon..." he ushered her through the portal, "ill keep you safe" he said with a gentle smile. she nodded, following him. churning through the portal, and fading into the over world, techno stepped out of the portal, y/n following. she smiled, surrounded by big, dark, mossy trees. giant mushrooms towered over the pathway, lit up by lanterns and a small pond next to them- lily pads and frogs pooled to the surface. she smiled, the stars bright above them- clouds purple and sun setting.

"it's beautiful" she whispered up at the stars.

"c'mon... there's more" he smiled, taking her hand again and pulling her down the mossy path.

"you and wilbur used to go here...?" she mumbled, techno nodded, smiling.

"over here-" he pulled her over to a patch of vines, quickly climbing up them- and pulling y/n up into the leaves, she gasped- grabbing onto him. he pulled her up onto the top of the tree, leaves thick enough to hold their weight- she gazed over the scenery, leaves so thick it was as if it were an ocean of them. techno sighed, unclasping his armor and letting it fall, y/n did the same- then sitting down comfortably next to eachother.

"it's amazing..." she smiled, gazing across the trees and the stars.

"just wait..." techno whispered, the clouds parting in the distance and stars shot downwards, "there..." he pointed towards the north sky. y/n gasped- the sky turning into an ocean above them- whales flew from the north- slowly making their way closer, flying lanterns accompanying them in the purple-blue sky. y/n could feel her breath shakily leaving her body- taken away by the ocean above them. "you have so many beautiful things to see in the world, y/n" techno fluttered, his stomach churning and eyes threatening to leak. she smiled, turning her head to look up at him. techno couldn't help but gaze at the beauty before him- not the whales, but her. "under loves heavy burden do i sink..." his lips outlined, nothing but a breath leaving his body- eyes fluttering.

"shakespeare again..." y/n whispered,

"-romeo and juliet" techno mumbled... "it never ends well..." his voice cracked- his hands raising to cup her face, sorrowful and pained. "but oh, do i crave it..."

"isn't it better to have loved and lost... then to have never loved at all?" y/n frowned. technos breath shook, his mind racing- and he could feel the warm air of y/n hit his face, her scent, ever so intoxicating- like a drug, he couldn't... oh but how he yearned.

"this world is too cruel for love..." he mumbled disappointingly, lowering his hands from her face.

"is it...?" y/n frowned.

"it is" he ached, turning his head to gaze back at the whales- y/n followed. "they're migrating to the south, it's getting too warm in the north..." he mumbled.

"have you ever been to the north?" y/n asked curiously,

"oh- yes... me and phil used to live there..." he sighed.

"was it nice...?" y/n whispered.

"it was... but things change, people change... i changed"

"-what happened?" y/n frowned, tilting her head at techno. he gulped, looking down.

"i'm not a good person, y/n... i've done things that people hate me for... that's why they're after me" he mumbled. y/n frowned, thinking for a moment.

"didnt you say, though, people change...?" she whispered, smiling. techno sighed- nodding

"i suppose" he grinned down at her, chest fluttering again- and that same sensation building in his throat. he kept a soft gaze on her, temptation building- snap- techno turned his head- eyes narrowing down the trees.

"what was that...?" y/n whispered, techno's chest inflated- his breath hitching and a low growl forming in his throat. "techno...?" she whispered. he ignored her calls- pushing her behind himself protectively, and trailing his hand over the sword attached to his belt.

"i can smell him..." techno growled, rising to his feet- y/n followed. another ruffling of leaves echoed in the distance- following another- and another, getting closer. "i know you're here, quackity" techno called
out, drawing his sword. "you can't defeat me... you know you'll lose" he growled- his temper growing more fragile.

"not even a hello?" a voice called from below the trees, "it's been so long, hasn't it?" its raspy tone drawing nearer to insanity and obsession. a figure rose from the leaves, stepping up to the top of the tree- he was shorter than techno- his eyes narrowed and full of hatred, y/n shivered. his hair was longer- down to his neck and clearly suffering from lack of care.

"quackity..." technoblade growled, raising his sword up. "havent you learned anything?"
