Thantophobia // Technoblade x reader

Techno pov.

     I stopped for a moment in order to scoop up Sushi into my arms, I then went ahead of Phil and y/n just as it began to snow softly. I made it to the door and pried it open without setting Sushi down until I made it inside. My eyes glance outside the windows to see that Phil had just barely made it passed the gate surrounding the yard. I hurry over to a chest in the corner of the room  and gather a few blankets. Phil stomps up the stairs outside and pushes the door open with his foot, his back against the door as he backs into the room and then turns into the room with y/n in his arms, her body trembling slightly from the cold. I drape one of the blankets over the couch and then unfold the other blankets, settings one down to act as a pillow. I wait for Phil to set her down onto the sofa and then I place the blanket on top of her, tucking her in carefully. 

     "Take care of her for the night, and then  I can help look after her in the morning." He dusts himself off and then looks over at me, "She's not used to traveling this far or this weather, so we should keep a close eye on her in case she catches a cold or anything." I nod in agreement, "I'll take care of her." Phil smiles at me, his expression holding a slight warning, but mostly exhaustion. "Sleep well, Phil." He yawns and waves on his way out, his wings stretching out behind him as he walked out the door and closed it behind himself. I wait for a moment before sinking into the floor next y/n. I pulled one of the extra blankets I brought out onto me and leaned back against the front of the sofa. Listening to the sound of y/n's steady breathing slowly lulled me to sleep in the living room floor.

Y/N pov.

     I awoke to the feeling of my shoulders and legs aching. I slowly opened my eyes, my head throbbing when vision met the light. I groaned quietly and stretched out, stopping mid stretch when I realized I was laying the floor. My v  back pressed against the front of the couch and techno laying on his side asleep next to me. My cheeks flushed slightly as I admired his sleeping features. I've only just noticed how long his eye lashes are. His face seems so peaceful while he sleeps, like all of the worries he has just leave him as he dreams. Does he dream? I wonder what her dreams about. Maybe the fox I noticed outside when Phil brought me inside or maybe his dreams are completely random. 

     I pause for a moment just to watch him, I don't have any thoughts as I just listen to him breathing, his chest slowly rising and falling. I'm feel like I'm mesmerized by his beauty. The corner of his lips barely rise and he mumbles quietly, "Good morning." My face flushes deeply at the sound of his voice, I'm thankful his eyes are still closed. Until they aren't. His eyes open slowly, he focuses on me and smiles, his voice giving way to how tired he is, having just woke up. "What are you doing in the floor?" He reaches a hand out and  brushes a hair out of my face. "I could ask you the same thing." I say, barely a whisper. He yawns, "well, I had to make sure that someone didn't get sick and die in my living room." He wrapped his arms around me, and held me in his arms for a few moments. My face deeply flushed in embarrassment.

     And then I woke up to the feeling of someone's hand on my forehead. I was breathing heavily and I could feel that I was burning up. "Did I wake you up?" The persons hand pulled away from my head as I opened my eyes. My vision slightly blurry from just waking up, but I can make out the shape of Techno kneeling in front of me. I sit up and rub my eyes, I notice that I'm on the couch, not on the floor and techno is fully put together as usual. He has a damp rag in his hand and the house smells like the fireplace and food. "no, no, you didn't." I mumbled, slightly wishing I was still asleep. 

     "You started running a fever while you were asleep." He brought the damp rag to my forehead again and told me to lean back. "Phil came over and brought some food if you're hungry."

     "I'm okay."

     "What was that?" He looked in my eyes, "Did you say your hungry, oh no you're starving?" He has a small smile on his face. I can't help but role my eyes, "Sure." He takes his hand away from my forehead, placing my hand on top of the rag where his had been. He then stands and leaves me to sit in the living room by myself for a moment. My checks suddenly redden and I unfold the rag, draping it over my entire face to hide it. A few moments later Techno returns with a bowel of soup and a spoon that it resting on a tray. He stops when he sees me, my face still covered by the rag, "What are you doing?" He sets the tray down when I make no motion to move the rag, "Nothing." Techno takes hold of the bottom corners of the rag and pulls it back over my forehead like a veil, we hold eye contact for a moment before breaking eye contact, both our faces turning red. 

     Techno clears his throat and picks up the tray, he sits down next to me and places the tray over my lap. "I know you're really not hungry, but I'd like it if you could try to eat something." I nod in response as he picks up the spoon and scoops out some of the soup. "What are you doing?" He pauses, "Oh." He seems taken aback, as thought he started doing it without thinking, and quickly drops it back down into the soup, allowing me to do it on my own. "My bad." I only shrug in response.I kind of wish I hadn't of said anything, it was cute that he wanted to help me.

     "I had a dream last night." He looks over, his full attention on me. "Oh yeah?" I nodded, not saying anything else. I can see him frown slightly in the corner of my eye. "C'mon, you can't say that and then not tell me what it was about." He leans back, his eyes on me. My face flushes, "It wasn't  anything exciting, I can't really remember it." His body sinks into the sofa next to me, seeming slightly disappointed, his voice sounding monotone "okay."

      A few hours later, Phil arrived to Techno's house, his hair and clothes coated in a light layer of snow. He came with a basket of supplies, having been outside for a few hours. Phil pulled off his gloves, his nose and cheeks red from the cold. He moves next to the fire and breathes into his hands as an attempt to warm them up. I watch as Techno and Phil discuss something, Techno looks amused from something Phil said, although Phil's reaction was quite the opposite. I turn away from them, trying to avoid eaves dropping. Phil told me once that I should never eaves drop on a conversation, not that I've ever had the need to.

Techno pov. 

     Y/n and I spent a few hours together while I waited for Phil to arrive. When Phil finally arrived he immediately made his way to the fire to warm himself up from the cold winter weather, the snow melting into his hair and clothes. "Did you find anything?" I mumble to him while getting him something warm to drink.  "I didn't find anything, but I overheard Fundy saying to Tubbo that they are going to come for you. They want to come for you again since they failed the first time." I snort, not being able to help myself. Philza frowns at me, a very disapproving look in his eyes, "Don't laugh, what if they succeed this time?" 

     "Oh come on, Technoblade never dies." I smile wide at him, my tusks gently pressing in my cheeks. Phil lets out an exasperated sigh, he's clearly exhausted. "I swear.." He runs a hand through his hair, "you're gonna be the death of me one of these days." I roll my eyes dramatically in response. Phil laughs and elbows me, "You've got to make sure to get married before I leave though, I can't be the only married man around here." He says, clearly joking.  I stop, "HEH?" My face immediately turns red, and I become flustered, "Phil, please." I brought my hands up to my face to hide the red dusting my cheeks. "Awwwe c'mon mate." He says in an amused voice, I glance over to y/n to notice that she's paying us no mind, I sigh in relief. "Watcha lookin at mate?" Phil leans close to me as he says it, a stupid smirk on his face as he does so. I groan and push him away.
