It had only been twenty minutes, and the black blade that Techno had given to you was already weighing you down, causing you to lag behind him. You didn't mind though, it gave you the opportunity to observe at the grown pigman hybrid when he wasn't looking. He had forgone the red cape that usually draped over his broad shoulders and his long pink hair was tucked semi-neatly into a braid that Tyche had whined about doing before he left. He also passed off his crown to Dream before he left, leaving him looking almost bare without it..
He had chosen to wear a dark red dress shirt instead of his normal white, paired with neat black pants and his normal long black boots. A satchel was strung over his shoulder that contained emergency items that Techno insisted on bringing, though he promised you and Tyche that nothing would go wrong. Still, the long blade he wore on his side was intimidating as it clanged with the loose chain on his pants every time he took a step.
It wasn't even just the sword, Techno himself was intimidating. From his broad shoulders, to his strong arms, to his lean waist... You shook your head and cursed yourself for thinking that far. You bit your tongue as your face screwed up in embarrassment over your thoughts.
Your eyes snapped back to his face when you noticed him glazing at you, his head tilted in curiosity. You were once again entranced by the intensity of his red eyes, partially hidden behind the skull mask he wore. Realizing you had been caught staring, you quickly searched for something to say.
"Look where you're going before you fall into a pit of lava," You warned trying to sound nonchalant.
He laughed, the sound rich and deep. "It's all netherrack for another two minutes, you don't have to worry," He quipped, giving you a teasing smile.
You bit your tongue at his gesture and tried not to let the embarrassment show on your face. Did he catch you looking at him? You really hope not.
"Where are you taking me?"
Techno's smile widened, as if he'd been waiting for you to ask . "There's a biome not too far west of here that I think you'd like to see."
The vagueness of his answer made you frown. "Well, what's it called?"
"I'll tell you when we get there," Techno replied with a shrug before turning his gaze back to the path ahead.
You narrowed your eyes at the back of his head, imagining the teasing smirk he was surely hiding. After a few seconds you sighed. It wasn't worth it to try and get the answer out of him.
"Well, in the meantime, would you mind slowing it down a bit? The sword you gave me is really dragging me down," You admitted, turning your head to the side to avoid eye contact.
Techno looked back at you, smiling softly at the slight pout on your face. Gradually, he slowed his pace until he was walking beside you, close enough that you had to keep your hand glued to your thigh to keep it from touching his. You internally screamed at yourself for being so awkward all of a sudden. Were you always this conscious of him?
"Is everything okay?" His voice was low and almost raspy as he spoke over you, making your internal monologue go completely silent and your mind go blank.
"Yep," You quickly spat out, "All good, completely fine."
You pretended that you didn't hear him chuckle at you after that.

You gaped at the cyan environment in front of you, the color overwhelming your senses. It was absolutely beautiful. The cyan trees reminded you of the trees you had back home, besides the cyan part. The whole biome also seemed to glow, making it all the more inviting.
