Techno didn't know Connor was Dream's son, his old friend was in prison for who knows how long. He decided to bring the guy in a sonic onesie with him to the arctic but got lost in the chaos on their way out the prison.

Techno have a lingering feeling to go back to look for Connor when he arrived home, he can only hope the boy is fine. There was not much link between him and Connor so he should be fine in L'manburg land. Techno waved at Dream as the prisoner ran into the forest to who knows where. "Hi guys!" Techno's ears perked when Connor managed to find his base.

The pig was a happy man and brought the other into hug, Connor immediately hugging back as tight as he could possible. It somehow felt right to have Connor in Techno's arms... Like when he can bring Ranboo in his arms so the boy can calm down during a panic.

"Where's Ranboo?" Nikki came to view. "Ranboo died! Sam killed him!"

"What?!" While the three discuss about the situation, Connor is slightly forgotten in the tall pig's arms but he is glad that Techno didn't let go of him, something about it felt familiar and he did not want to let it go. The three might have slipped the word about their small group and Techno remembered Connor was in his arms and they looked at him with awkward laughs. "Uhh, Connor? Ya wanna join the syndicate?"

Connor have a dislike towards governments, but he can also have a place to live, a place he can feel like he belongs to so he accepts. He is now part of the syndicate and Techno have to make a copy of his book and gave it to Connor. Connor was grateful for this and he started building a small dirt house and they let him be.

Techno still had a place to go and so he left Connor alone with Phil to get started on their base.

****

Phil have talked about Techno and Ranboo to Connor while he helps him build his little house. Connor was slightly jealous of Ranboo for having... A father? From what all he could hear from Phil, Techno seemed to have unofficially adopted Ranboo and treated him like his son... Something he have never felt with his own father and his mother was too busy with war during that... time. So he had to survive alone in this hellish country.

Phil took the extra mattress from Techno's closet and gives it to Connor, promising he'll make him a proper bed by tomorrow, for now they'll rest after what just happened this morning. "Have some rest, I'll come get you when dinner's ready." Phil smiles and Connor nods, awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck. "Thank you, Phil."

A nap, he take.

As Phil promised, he woke up to Techno gently shaking him and inviting him to dinner. Connor quickly gets up and follows Techno to his cabin. God, he just noticed how cold it is with only just in his onesie, he might need to ask Techno to borrow some of his coat to keep himself warm in the snow biome.

While they were eating, Techno was talking about how he's gonna hunt down Sam for killing Ranboo but he has to find someone first, he might have formed a team-mate with Tubbo to find Ranboo's son, Michael. The man just found out today his adopted son has a son, so that fucking makes him a grandpa. Hah, old. Wait, that makes Philza grand grand old man. Oh shit.

Connor did not mean to notice how hurt Techno is inside so he might have stayed a little longer in Techno's cabin for something, Phil have already left a while ago and Techno is walking around his cabin, picking up ingredients to make potions for a battle, to avenge Ranboo.

Connor wished his mother was like Techno, he wished he was at least checking up on him to see if he's alright, alive. He was happy to reunite with his mother, even if it was in prison, even if it were just a few minutes, but he did not know how to feel when Dream just left him again. The green man going on the run again, he just hopes he doesn't do anything bad anymore. "Connor? You alright?" Connor snaps from his thoughts and looks up at Techno.

"Ye Yeah! Yeah, yeah, I'm alright. Just... A lot." He points to his head and shrugs, Techno frowns at that and sits on the couch beside him. "Spill. I think you have a lot to tell." Connor stares at Techno, debating if he should trust him and tell him everything including the feelings he had to go through and going through or just tell him an answer as vague as possible. "But," Techno speaks, "it's up to you. You can just say like 'Let's talk about it tomorrow' and just repeat it again by tomorrow. Ya know, just completely avoiding the topic until you're ready to tell me."

"..."

He wish he had a father.

"Can I borrow some warm clothings? I only have a onesie." Techno nods and gets up to fetch Connor some clothes that might fit him or just enough to keep him warm the whole night.

He wish he had a mother.

"Here you go."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow." Connor whispered and Techno shots him with a genuine smile before helping him with getting off his onesie and changed to the warm clothes, and Techno escort him to his dirt house.

Connor wish he has a family...

And maybe that wish is coming true.

****

For many days, Connor have literally done what he was told, he would always say he would talk about the topic to Techno by tomorrow but never actually brought it up. Techno joked about it but he never asked the guy in a sonic onesie to stop, he is patiently waiting for him to speak, patient enough that Connor felt like he's coming back home.

It was nice.

But during those days, Techno have been going out more to the nether to find netherite, meals have been skipped and nights have been sleepless, Connor is worried but Phil have thought of it as normal since the pig always go mining for resources non-stop. Still, Connor is worried.

One night, Connor blocked the door before Techno could step out, of course the man could take the door on the basement but he decided to ask. "Connor, out of the way."

"No."

"Why?"

"You've been skipping a lot of meals and so as your sleep, you look more dead than a zombie, Techno!"

"Look, I have no time to-"

"Shut up and get upstairs, I want you to get your sleep. I believe Ranboo won't like that you're killing yourself because of his death. I thought you're a strategist! You should know by now that everything takes time, everything should be thought of. I know you joke about being always stressed but sometimes you gotta take care of yourself too. If you can't do it for yourself, do it for Ranboo."

Techno stared down at Connor and have seen Ranboo in his eyes, he let out a soft shaky breath and looks away from him. "Fine..." He sighed out of defeat and puts his armor in his chest. Connor waited until the pig man climbed up to his room and closed it. Few minutes he stayed.

Connor sighs and crawls back to his dirt house.

****

A few months have passed, Connor have finally felt home in the arctic, the syndicate, or Techno's base.

Connor giggles when he's surrounded by Techno's army of dogs, they were all too cute and kind, nuzzling on his arms and hand, yipping and playfully growling. Connor smiles when a puppy climb into his arms and licks the bottom of his jaw. "Hey, Connor."

"Oh hey, Techno!"

"I uhh I have something."

"Oh. What is it?"

"Just after you tell me what you needed to tell me." Connor and the puppy stares at the pigman. Techno sits down on the ground with him and nods, Connor slightly nods his head and sighs. He starts telling about his first life in Dream SMP, who his parents are, and what he wished for.

The puppy in his arms was slowly getting squeezed tight and Techno had to snatch the puppy off of Connor and exchanged it with a block of wool. Connor thanked him and hugs it tightly as he continues to talk about his life.

"Ranboo?" Connor quickly raised his head and looks at where Techno is looking but sees it was, "Just an enderman." With disappointment in the pigman's voice.

They were days Techno would ran out of his house when he notices an enderman out, calling for Ranboo's name but only to be disappointed when it's just another enderman. Connor wonders what it is really like to lose someone, something, anything. Painful. It was painful to the heart.

"... I wish my mother was like you." He said out loud and Techno looks back at Connor. "What?"

"I wish he would call out my name in a panic, make feel like he still wants me... Something like that. Ignore what I just said." Connor shakes his hand in the air and continues petting another dog's head.

"Connor..."

"Hm?"

Connor flinch when a fresh book lands on his lap and he carefully opens it. Water slowly builds up on the corner of his eyes as he read the words, and a tear ran down his cheek. "Clearly, your father left you so he can do whatever he does, so uhhh... I've been wanting to adopt you since like... A few weeks after you joined the syndicate. Wait, are you cryi— oof-!" Connor tackled Techno to the ground and buried his face on his furry cape. "Thank you, thank you... Thank you." He sniffles and Techno gently pats the boy's back.

A gentle smile, Techno holds him close and pats his head.

A soft smile stretch on the wandering soul's lips, they were happy to see his family happy again.

"Thank you..."
