~You're the One I'm Meant to be With~ A Technoblade x Reader

I read the note again and then lean against a nearby wall and slide down it. I pinch the bridge of my nose and I take deep breaths to try and calm myself down. I didn't want to bring Tubbo into all of this because I didn't want him to be put into danger.

I guess this really is turning into another war.

Schlatt's POV

TW: MENTIONS OF ALCOHOL

I had to get away from those two. I walked fast to the building and immediately went to my office and sat in my chair. I put my face in my hands trying to forget about them. I pulled out a bottle of whiskey from under my desk and opened it. I didn't bother to grab a glass, I just started chugging the bottle. I stop drinking the bottle and look at it. I stood up from my chair and gripped onto the bottle harder.

Next thing I knew the bottle was shattered on the floor and whiskey stained the walls. I backed up to lean against a wall and then slowly sank to the ground. I dug in my pocket and found a necklace that matches them. Damnit, why do those two look like them! I look at the necklace, I start tearing up a bit. Why did I have to do that?! THEY WERE 7 AND 3! AND I FUCKING LEFT THEM ALONE ON THEIR OWN! I LEFT THEM FOR FUCKING DEAD BECAUSE I COULDN'T TAKE CARE OF THEM!

(Flashback 14 years ago)

"Daddy, where are we going?" I was slipping on my jacket and getting Toby ready to go out. "We are going to have a fun day today!" I put on a smile for them, so they wouldn't worry. I don't think it worked though, they looked at me with concern anyways. "Are you sure? We don't have to." I had set Toby down on the floor and walked over to Y/n. I kneel down to their height and put my hands on their shoulders. "Thank you for caring honey, but we need to get out of this musty house for a while!" I then lifted them into my arms and we both started laughing. I walked over and picked Toby up as well and then left the house.

"Where are we going first Dad?" I think for a moment, I wanted this day to be great. "How about we go to the toy store?" Both of my children's eyes lit up, they gave me so much joy. They both cheered and then I set Y/n down and held their hand, then started walking. When we had gotten there I let them pick out one thing they wanted. I let Y/n and Toby walk around with each other to pick something out.

"Dada! Bee!" Toby came waddling back to me holding a small bee plushie. "Yeah buddy! It's a bee!" I picked him up and tried helping him pick out a name. "I like Spunz!" I laughed and hugged Toby close, "Spunz it is." I look around trying to search for Y/n. "Hey buddy, where is Y/n." He looked up at me and then pointed towards the back of the store. I start walking back there looking through all the aisles to find Y/n at the very last one looking at some necklaces.

"Hey Y/n what are you looking at?" They looked up at me with a frustrated face. "I'm trying to find something for us all!" They went back to searching. They placed their eyes on a particular set and they seemed to immediately fall in love. "Do you want that one?" They grabbed it and started jumping up and down in their spot. We walk over to the counter at the cashier.

"Howdy folks! What can I do for you today?" I grabbed the necklaces from Y/n and grabbed the bee from Toby. "This will be all." I handed the items to the cashier and she scanned them all. "That will be $12.56." Y/n was trying to peek over the counter at the cashier. They waved their little hand and motioned the cashier to get closer to them. The cashier leaned over her counter to hear what they had to say. When the cashier leaned back she nodded and went to the back of the shop with the necklaces in hand. What was she doing?

"Y/n, honey what did you ask her to do?" They didn't answer me and started looking through the pockets of her coat pocket.and pulled out a stack of one dollar bills in cash. When the cashier came back with the necklaces Y/n lifted the money up to her. The cashier handed the necklaces to me and then walked around the counter. I looked down at the necklaces to see they had been engraved with Dad and the two puzzle pieces in the middle had both of their first initials in the middle of the puzzle pieces. I look back down at the cashier who had crouched in front of Y/n, who still had the wad of cash in their small hands.

"Sweetie, you are the kindest little girl I have ever met. You don't have to pay me for this. How about this? I'll pay for the engravings and then your dad can pay for his original." The cashier put her hand on top of Y/n's head and Y/n started giggling. The cashier got up and went back behind the counter and looked up at me. I handed her a $20 then she pulled out my cash and change and handed it to me.

"Come again soon!" The kids waved at her, and I wished I would be able to with them but I couldn't. Y/n had given us our own necklace. It had gotten late and we headed to the park. I had to do this, I couldn't do it anymore. They both are the most precious thing in my life, but they don't need this life of sorrow with me. I had stopped in the middle of the park and let go of Y/n's hand. I put Toby down from my arms and handed him to his sibling. I knelt down in front of them trying not to tear up.

"My beautiful children," I cupped their cheeks with each of my hands, "I love you both so much, you know that right?" They both nodded. "We love you too daddy!" Tears started spilling down my face. Y/n suddenly got worried, already seeing me cry before in a not so good circumstance. "Daddy, why are you crying?" They started wiping away my tears, I let go of their hand and placed it on their hand that was on my face. "Just know that I love you, you two are gonna have to stay around here for a while." Toby looked at me confused. "Where are you going Dada?" More tears started spilling down my face. "I have to go for a while buddy, I promise I'll be back one day." I look back over at Y/n, I think they already know what I'm doing.

"Take care of you and your brother for me, can you do that?" They nodded at me. They let go of Toby's hand and ran to hug me. "Just know I will never be mad at you, I love you." I hugged them back smiling but still crying. I let go of them and stood up. "Goodbye, I love you both." I turned around and started walking away.

I promise you both, I'll come back to you both and be a father you guys can be proud of.

(end of flashback)

It's been 14 years... I hope they are okay. Y/n, you said you would never hate me, I wonder if that has changed at all. I wouldn't be surprised if it had, I mean I did leave you with a 3 year old to raise when you were 7. That really is something to hate me over. Those two look so much like them, it's weird. I looked down at the necklace again and couldn't hold back the tears this time. I'm a fucking horrible father. I leaned my head against the wall with tears spilling down my face.

You two wouldn't be proud of what I have become.
