Chapter Text
It is really cold out tonight. Maybe walking to Techno’s cabin in the middle of the night was a bad idea but who was there to stop him.
He really missed Technoblades dogs, the pack was always so warm and comforting after a bad dream. He was always accepted as one of the dogs even though he wasn’t really one of them.
The only problem with this idea is Technoblade, the last time they met wasn’t on the best terms. But he’s more than halfway to Techno’s house so he can’t just go back now he thinks, turning around to look at the treeline surrounding the path. The trees were slightly swaying with the midnight breeze, shadows bouncing over the needles of the pine trees.
The Warden hybrid part of Tommy was comforted by the nature around him, but the human part was scared of the darkness surrounding him. He still kept walking, the snow that was slowly falling made his footsteps crunch.
He is almost there now, he stood up straighter as the cabin came into view, lights still on.
Shit.
Techno was supposed to be asleep, Phil is gone on a trip for totems so he wouldn’t be back for a while so it has to be Techno. This isn’t going to go well, maybe he can sneak to the dog hut without being noticed? Yeah that sure works, as long as the person doing it was quiet, and he was not. Eh never mind he might as well just go knock on the door.
“Hey Techno, are you alive in there?” He yelled while knocking loudly on the door.
Inside the house, Technoblade is woken up by a loud noise coming from the door downstairs. He started towards the door, yawning into his hand then climbing down the ladder.
“Bruuuuuh, why are you here it’s the middle of the night”. Technoblade asked while opening the door. He was thinking of where all his valuables were and taking count as well as looking for his axe.
“No reason bitch boy, why are you here huh? Tommy replied, deflecting the question.
“Of course,” Technoblade said dramatically “Just get in here you raccoon child.”
Tommy scampered inside, ignoring Techno standing in front of the door and ducking under him. He quickly walked to Techno’s table, sitting down and helping himself to the cookie jar that sat on it.
“Now, Tommy, why are you really here? Obviously you didn’t come here just for the cookies.” Technoblade spoke quietly while grabbing two cups of tea.
“I had a nightmare if you have to know, I was looking for the dogs when I saw the cabin’s lights were on so I decided to come to bother you.” Tommy said.
“Ah, now that makes more sense.” Technoblade answered “Have you been taking care of yourself, Tommy because you seem a little off?”
“Yeah yeah yeah, I’m all weak and shit. It’s not a big deal or anything, s’not hurting anyone.”
“Not just that, you start affecting the people around you.” Techno says “It’s like a potion effect that spreads through contact, I thought you knew this Tommy.”
“Shit, what do you mean! Why did nobody tell me about this!” Tommy said getting louder.
“You give off an effect of blindness, it isn’t very effective but it’s still present. I am sure there is more but that is the most common thing that happens.” Technoblade answered.
Tommy slumped down, thumping his head on the table. Techno reached over to him and patted him on the head while putting both of their cups of tea on the table. The tea was not hot but just warm enough to let steam curl around the top of the cup and into the air. He handed another cookie to Tommy, putting it in his hand softly.
“It’s ok Tommy, do you know that I have some hybrid traits too?” He asked, “Whenever I see gold or jewels I have to stop myself from taking them, I have gotten in trouble for that quite a few times.”
“Heh, that's really stupid Techno.” Tommy said softly, tearing up.
“Okay Warden boy, at least I don’t glow in the dark.” Technoblade joked.
“Ughhhhh screw you Technoblade, I’m going to sleep.” Tommy said grabbing a blanket from the back of the chair and walking over to the couch, throwing himself onto it and almost immediately falling asleep. Techno walked over and tucked him in.
“Goodnight Tommy, sleep well.” Technoblade whispered.
