TW/CW: arguing, yelling, small mention of a major character death and trauma

Also I guess this is a more realistic Minecraft. The character have more human like actions than just blocky people in Minecraft. I guess????? Take it as it is.

(3rd Person PoV)

Tommy slowly ate the bread that Techno gave him.

He decided not to make his presence known to Phil, mainly because he doesn't want to see him nor does he want to ask any questions that Phil might ask.

He sighed sadly.

He was sure that he was ok. Sure it hurt to move because of around his rib cage but other than that, he was fine.

Of course maybe it was because of those potions that Techno gave him to relieve the pain.

Nah, those also made him sleepy and he's not sleepy.

Also taking too much will probably have negative consequences.

Tommy wasn't quite sure what to do.

He was bored, just sitting around in the basement all day but he just doesn't want to talk to Techno and now Phil.

He took another bite of the bread.

What should he do?

Meanwhile with Technoblade.

He was outside, attending to Carl. Making sure he is fed especially with the upcoming blizzard.

Even if it was cold and snowstorms can come in at any moment, the tundra is a the best place to go if you want to be left alone.

Of course in more calmer days, people can come and go but Techno is always away during those calm days.

He takes advantage to those days to get something done like mining, training or finding more food supplies.

Calmer days are happening more and more. However, apart from a select few, not many people realize that Techno is living in the tundra.

By a select few, he means only Phil and Tommy, Techno guesses.

Although Tommy probably wouldn't reveal where he lives to anyone in L'Manberg since he is exiled.

...

Techno let out a deep sigh.

He's going back inside.

He led Carl back to the stable and went in only to hear yelling.

"No! I don't want to talk to you!"

That was Tommy.

"T-Tommy, listen. I understand that you're upset with me but can we at least talk this out for a bit?"

That was Phil.

Guess Phil found out about Tommy, Techno thought.

He went to where the yelling was taking place.

"What's going on here?" He asked.

"Well Technoblade! I was minding my own business when this old man decided it was be a good idea to sneak up on me and scare the sh*t out of me!" Tommy snapped.

"I didn't sneak up on you and sorry if I scared you. Look, all I wanted was to get more supplies for potions and I couldn't find any so I went to the basement to look for some. I didn't see Tommy until I slammed the chest shut and heard him yelp in fright. I tried to talk with him but he ran off," Phil explained.

He turned to look at Techno.

"How long has he been living in your basement?" Phil asked.

"Couple of days. Sorry I didn't tell you but he would rather much be left alone," Techno explained.

"Damn right I do!" Tommy agreed.

"That long? You have been feeding him right?" Phil asked.

"Yes I have Phil! I'm not that irresponsible," Techno rolled his eyes.

"Ok then...," Phil murmured.

"Philza Minecraft, don't act like you care about me now," Tommy suddenly said.

"Huh? Mate what do you mean? Of course I care, I'm not acting," Phil said in surprise.

"No, don't. Please...I don't want to hear it," Tommy said softly.

He looked...scared? Confused? Unsure? A mixture of those emotions were painting along his face.

Phil definitely seemed to noticed this and backed off.

There was an awkward silence between the three of them.

Techno didn't want to break it but he felt like someone had to.

Techno cleared his throat.

"I...I think I'll go make us some lunch now," He said and dragged Phil to the kitchen.

"Techno, you better explain to me why the f*ck is Tommy in your basement. Not the reason why he is in your basement specifically. I know he doesn't want to talk to either of us. Why? Why is he here?" Phil asked.

He sounded concerned.

"Like I'm not entirely sure but remember when we talked about him being exiled? Yeah he apparently escaped from where he was exiled," Techno explained.

"Escaped? Techno, keeping him here is dangerous! What if someone from L'Manberg find him here and they realize that you also live here?" Phil asked.

"Well I couldn't just kick him out! He looked terrible when I found him and he had broken ribs and probably had more injuries! He was also cold and wet! What else could I do!?" Techno asked, raising his voice.

"..."

Phil didn't say anything as he was beginning to think about what just happened and what else could he say to Techno.

"Look, once he gets better, I'll find him a safer place to stay at. Not L'Manberg and not where he was exiled. I'll even see if he can get some company like a pet or something," Techno explained.

"So you'll kick him out eventually?" Phil asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's not kicking out. ...I think. Anyway, you know I can't take care of someone right now! If this was another situation, then I would consider it but now...," Techno explained.

"Well you got to talk to him about it someway. You can't keep him in the dark like this," Phil stated.

"I know I know! But you also got to explain to him about...you know Wilbur. Or else, he'll end up hating you even more," Techno pointed out.

"I wanted to but he refuses to listen to me. Hey is it just me or is the house way too silent now?" Phil suddenly asked.

"Don't change the subj-," Techno started before feeling a cold breeze.

It came from the front.

The two of them ran over to see the front door open and faint imprints of footprints on the snow.

"Sh*t! Did he leave?" Phil asked.

"You don't think he heard us and ran off?" Techno asked.

"That's most likely what happened! Didn't you say that there was going to be a blizzard today?" Phil asked.

Techno groaned to himself and went to look for armor and some potions.

"Here, we need to go look for him before it's too late. He couldn't have gotten that far," he said as he tossed some to Phil.

(1st Person PoV:Tommy's)

I hugged myself tightly as I continue to trudged through the snow.

I wiped my eyes quickly and squinted to see through the now falling quickly snow.

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Why did I think of staying with Techno for longer than I needed to be? He was just going to kick me out anyway! I knew I shouldn't have trusted him! I thought.

Going through the snow is starting to prove difficult as the snow was getting more violent.

I started to shiver more that it was beginning to hurt. I felt stiff like a board.

I had to leave! Leave more far away from them! I have to go back!

Maybe if I beg Tubbo enough, he might let me return..., I thought but I shook my head.

That was wishful thinking.

Unless hell freezes over, there's no way Tubbo would let me return to L'Manberg. He wouldn't want to risk it.

I let out a dry laugh.

Yeah sure! Me, his best friend in the whole world or the country that was made literally by a drug van. He had to pick the drug van country didn't he? Damn you Dream! I thought.

As soon as I thought of Dream, a large smiley face flashed in my brain and I shut my eyes to shake it off.

Don't think about him! Don't do it! Just don't!

I opened my eyes to see everything was covered in white and dark oak.

That is when I realized that...

I was lost.

Great.

A/N: yeah this usually happens. I write in a book so much and have a lot of motivation for it in the beginning and then in the middle I start losing it and a month's period passes or so and I release a new chapter. Then at the end, I'm just tired. I think, I dunno! I just finished one book and that's it!

Hey I have like 39 published works and like 40 drafts. I got things to work on!

Anyway, hope you enjoy this chapter!

Cya in the next one -Flare
