Is This A Simulation? [DreamTeam x Reader x Technoblade]

Chapter 13 - Dancing in the Moonlight

Y/N POV

We exited the village all beginning to make our way back home. I was walking in a line with Sapnap and Dream to my left and Techno to my right as George was happily sat upon his horse doing a gentle trot just in front of us. 

It was still cold outside in the taiga biome, thousands of silvery snow flakes fell in elegance from the sky dancing in a flurry around us. Snow flakes covered my H/C hair and would occasionally fall and land on my nose making me scrunch my nose from the chill. I once again was wrapped up in Techno's red cape, keeping me warm as we pushed on homebound. 

After a few hours of walking we left the taiga and entered the warmer plains biome as I became bored of walking, just walking. No playing games or joking round, we were all tired and fed up at this point "George, stop for a second please?" I asked as I sped up to where his horse was walking, "Of course, everything okay Y/N?" George questioned almost concerned at the sudden order.

"I'm great thanks for asking, mind giving me a leg up Dream?" I looked at Dream with a grin on my face "Yeah sure, hold this Techno" Dream offloaded all the gear he was carrying onto Techno's arms with very little warning, making me giggle at Techno's unamused look. "3, 2, 1 jump Y/N" Dream said as he cupped my foot in his hand whilst he knelt one knee on the ground to support him and my weight. Me being significantly shorter and smaller than everyone else, of course I would struggle to mount the horse.

I had attempted and somehow managed to slip down the horse as I didn't have enough momentum to swing my leg over the horse's back "Try again, shut up Sapnap I don't see you trying to help" I said as I landed back on the ground, I could hear Sapnap giggling behind me. "Okay I'm gonna give you a bigger boost this time - 3, 2, 1 jump!" I jumped on cue, my hand in George's as he helped to hoist me up onto the horse. Success! "YES, thanks Dream!" I cheered as I was now sat behind George on the horse's back. 

Out on the exposed plains biome as I was so excited to finally be doing something interesting after that boring walk. "Speed up George" I exclaimed, wanting to have a bit more fun "Sure thing, don't fall Y/N" George cheered as he whipped the reins provoking the horse to speed off. 

As we rode about the plains biome, I flew my arms up above my head as the wind blew through my hair making it dance about behind me. George cheered as I joyfully screamed behind him as his horse began running in circles around the other guys. 

In that moment I felt free, not a care in the world: no anxiety over being trapped in a Minecraft world, no feelings for anybody here, no care about how we might escape this world... Just freedom and pure happiness as we rode about the plains biome, Techno's cape flying behind me as my hands ran through my H/L (hair length) hair as it waved in the wind.

----------TIME SKIP----------

We eventually made it back to our house at around 6pm, I instantly ran upstairs to take a shower - after all the travelling and feeling so windswept from the ride on the horse I was desperate for a wash. 

It was now around 8pm and all 5 of us were gathered in our back garden, all sat around star gazing and just chatting about seemingly everything and anything. It was a warm night with a very gentle breeze, our only light being the light from our kitchen seeping through a window exposed to the outside world.

"Sap could you pass me your phone quick please?" I asked as Sapnap took out his phone and reached over to give it to me "Sure thing, everything okay Y/N?" he responded with concern. "You'll see" I said with a huge grin spanning across my face. I played 'Dancing in the Moonlight' by Toploader through a speaker he had beside him. 

I sprung up to my feet, swaying to the music. Fingers running through my hair as my feet carried me, feeling the music beneath the twinkling stars. I looked over to see all 4 guys watching me with amusement but not joining in, that had to be changed... I danced over to where the guys were sat and held out my hand to Dream "dance with me Dreamy?" I said softly as he smiled, showing a little beneath where his mask sat, and got up to his feet. 

Hand in hand, we danced and giggled to the music we both moved separately to the music still connected via our hands. We couldn't see very well due to it being so dark from the night sky but with what little light illuminated from our house, we had just enough to see each other's figures and the other guys still sat watching us. "George and Sapnap, get your arses up here and join us" Dream shouted as Sapnap's smile dropped and George had a look of embarrassment at the mention of his name. 

"Come on you two!" I followed as we both made our way over to the duo forcing them to stand up and dance with us, leaving Techno by himself sat on the ground watching us have fun together... he never seemed one to dance, which only provoked me now to let go of Dream's hand and dance over to Techno "care to have this dance with me good sir?" I said in a very posh and flirtatious tone as he smiled a small and cheeky smile "Of course my dear" he responded in an attempted British accent, making George scoff at his pathetic attempt...

Now all 5 of us were dancing literally in the moonlight, beneath a sea of twinkling stars - the moon illuminating our features on our faces as we all danced like we'd never danced before. At that moment, I fell in love with each and every one of these guys, a wave of happiness washed over me as we all jumped up and down and sang the song at the top of our lungs. 

Eventually we began to slow down from a crazy dancing mess to soft moves - Dream, Sapnap and George had their arms over each other's shoulders as they moved to the music meanwhile Techno had his hands planted on the small of my waist as we gently swayed to the music. My arms draped over his shoulders, my hands interlocked behind his neck as I rested my head on his shoulder, looking over at the guys who were dancing together, huge smiles plastered on all of their faces as they watched Techno and I sway softly to the music. I felt a blush paint my cheeks at their reactions, causing me to hide my face in Techno's chest as he just swayed with his eyes closed enjoying being close to me. 

After a short while, we all decided to call it a night and head up to bed after the amazing night we'd all shared together. George and Sapnap stayed downstairs whilst Dream, Techno and I went upstairs to our floor of the house. Dream retreated into his bedroom after saying his goodnights, leaving Techno and I stood in the hallway between our rooms. He pulled me into a gentle embrace, wrapping his arms around my figure and planting a delicate kiss on my forehead, keeping his lips pressed to my skin like it would be the last time "Goodnight love" he dropped down and whispered into my ears before letting go and opening the door to his bedroom. "Goodnight Techno" I said softly through a smile as I entered my dark and lonely room...

Hellooo, hope you're doing okay?

Thought I'd add some cutesy bits into this chapter. The players deserve a little rest down time, don't you think?

The next chapter is going to be a bit of a heavy one, just be prepared.

The news of Techno's diagnosis was announced as I was writing this, I'm devastated for him but have every hope and reassurance that he'll make a strong recovery. Love you Techno!!

Remember how loved you are, you deserve everything in the world. Make sure to eat, drink and sleep <3

Love you so much x
