They figured that Technoblade was about 7'5 tall or more than that, that's pretty tall for an average human. Tommy even asked if Technoblade can transform into his piglin form, Technoblade warned about how dangerous it is to transform to his real form. Tommy, being optimistic, peer pressured the man.
Phil bonked him with a spatula and kick him back to his room, saving Technoblade from trouble. Technoblade found it amusing, he feels warm when watching the family bicker and so on, it reminds him of home. The thought makes Technoblade sad and Wilbur noticed it immediately. "Something wrong, Techno?" He asked, worry in the tone of his voice.
"No, no nothing." Technoblade tried reassuring, but Wilbur still looked at him with worried eyes and continued to stare at him. Technoblade had no choice but to tell Wilbur what's bothering him. "I just miss my home." Wilbur nods in understanding.
"If it makes you feel better, you'll be able to get home around 2-3 months. Plus, if you want, we can always go out in public and we will tour you around. You know? For distraction or explore our world, a new world!" Techno nods with a small smile. "You remind me of Wil..."
"I mean, I am him."
"Yeah, but... he changed."
Wilbur's smile falters to a frown, he knew what Technoblade was talking about and he feels bad, but... lore is lore. He takes it as a joke, a time to pass, a time to shine his theatre child soul, but he never thought about a universe where their characters are real. He believes things like that are just too far from real, but Technoblade is a living proof that there is always something out of the ordinary.
"... do you wanna hear a song?"
"Hm?"
"It's something my band and I have been working on, I thought you'd like to hear it." Wilbur explained, pulling out an acoustic guitar from behind the counter. He strums a random melody and then begins singing.
He sings, in a gentle and melodic voice, his hands dancing across the strings as the song goes on. Technoblade leans on the couch as he listens to Wilbur sing with a passion, something his Wilbur always have... had... Technoblade decides to close his eyes and just listen.
The lyrics are soothing, Wilbur's voice soft and calm. The song was sweet, it reminded him of the time where everything felt okay.
Wilbur slowly stops when he noticed Technoblade fell asleep. It's only in the afternoon but thats probably because Technoblade has not gotten used to their time yet. Wilbur sets his guitar down and drags a blanket to cover up Technoblade.
"Rest well."

They really thought it'd be difficult to find clothes for Technoblade, and they're right. Technoblade mostly has to duck down doors, entrance, and some signs, but there are times where he gets distracted that his head hits a sign or he stood up straight too early that he hit the top if the entrance way.
As for clothes, yeah it wasn't really too difficult but the three all agreed sometimes that none would fit his aesthetics. Technoblade agrees with that too. They decide to split up, with Phil and Tommy going to find some pants, and Wilbur and Technoblade looking for a top outfit.
Technoblade doesn't know what he wants to wear, but he thinks maybe Wilbur could help him figure that out. Wilbur is picking out some clothes and trying to picture them with Technoblade, none really hits the picture. "You know what, let's go to a changing room and you try these out." Technoblade nods as he follows behind Wilbur.
They enter the dressing room and Wilbur starts looking through some shirts and blouses. There are two different options, both look decent but one has more ruffles and the other has less. "How about this one, it looks comfortable."
Technoblade took off his blouse, Wilbur silently cursing at how Technoblade can look so human, has a good body, and is incredibly tall. His height is offending him slash j. Technoblade puts on the shirt Wilbur gave him and looks at the mirror.
"Wilbur, this looks exactly the same as my blouse."
"Yeah, duh. At least it fits, also loose and definitely fits your image. You could just use it as a shirt for indoors." Wilbur shrugs as he lifts up the strawberry T-shirt. "Here, try this." Technoblade sighs as he takes off the blouse and puts the shirt on. "Oohhhh." Wilbur smiles.
"This looks... odd."
"Oh shush, you're fitting to our society, you look great with it!" Wilbur pats Technoblade's back.
They tried a few before deciding to just buy them all and pay for it. They met up with Tommy and Phil, Tommy holding a couple of pants and hands them to Technoblade. "Try these on, should fit. Hopefully."
Technoblade tried them on, some fit and some were not, Tommy had to put back the ones that don't fit and Phil pays for the ones that fit. They leave the store and walk their way to the beach, Technoblade awkwardly trying to hide behind Wilbur since he's at least a little taller than Phil and Tommy, but that... did... not... work.
Technoblade feels overwhelmed with a lot of people staring at him, but he's super glad that they have to sit by and Technoblade can hide under Wilbur and keep his face hidden, but still be able to see them. The ocean looks nice but the sun hurts his eyes so he keeps glancing over to Wilbur who is smiling happily at the water.
"Hey, Techno. Can I braid your hair?"
Technoblade looks up at Tommy and touches his own hair. "Yeah, sure."
"Awesome!"
Tommy hums as he braids Technoblade's hair, problem; he doesn't really know how to braid and he's just fucking up and then suddenly getting it right then back to fucking up the braid, how does the Tommy in Technoblade's world braid his hair?
Why the fuck would Tommy learn to braid? What would be so important about a hairstyle anyways? It's a stupid braid and it probably wouldn't be that easy and would hurt Technoblade. How do humans deal with having short and long hair? Did anyone ever cut their hair short because they didn't like it long?
"Are you alright Tommy?"
"Huh?"
"You seem angry while mumbling."
"Oh. I'm just wondering how stupid hairstyles can be sometimes. Like why did some people want to have long hair?"
"Is that even a thing? People grow out their hair?"
"I guess it depends on their personality." Technoblade hears Phil say as he watches Tommy fiddle with the hair ties.
"Do you guys just get born with fucking long ass hair?" Tommy asks Technoblade.
"...Yes?"
"..."
"..."
"Weird. But it would make sense that they just have long hair with how we designed our Minecraft skins."
"But Techno has a pig skin?"
"Then I don't know!"
Technoblade sighs and facepalms.
****
"Why does everyone assume I'm a basketball Player?" Technoblade asks as he ducks down the door and goes to the couch. "Because almost everyone who are about 7 feet tall is an NBA Player." Wilbur answers as he drops down on the couch too.
"Is 7 feet tall not normal?"
"Anyone above it is not normal." Tommy grumbles and drops down on the couch too.
Technoblade stretches his legs and lays on the couch, his head laying on Wilbur's lap. "In our world, everyone just above 20 feet is not normal."
"Well, we're not born a fairy tale, we are just in this boring human body with the height limit of 6."
"You're 6'3."
"Yeah! But you know what I mean!"
Technoblade chuckles. "Fair enough."
"So what kind of movie are you planning to watch?"
"A zombie apocalypse."
Both Wilbur and Phil groan. "Ugh, not this shit again. We are not watching that."
"Come on, I know you'll enjoy it! We won't watch the scary stuff! Plus Technoblade hasn't seen zombie movies!"
"You guys have zombies?"
"Not literally but we have movies."
"Huh." They had to explain movies to Technoblade, to Technoblade it sound boring to him since he lived in a world where anything really is possible but he guess it was because they are the creators of his world.
They end up watching a zombie movie anyway. It was a bad film and the worst plotline, but at least Technoblade can feel satisfied. Still, it suck.
They ate some pizza and Technoblade liked them, they taste good. And he ate most of it that Tommy asked to order two more boxes. Technoblade easily finishing a full box. Some time after, it was getting late. Phil retreats to his room early, Wilbur decides to sleep after a while, and Tommy stays at the couch with Technoblade, watching another movie.
"Tommy?"
"Mhmm?"
"If I am truly... being controlled in game. Do... Do you know what will happen in the future?"
Tommy looks at Technoblade with hesitation, he knows the lore, he knows what will happen and what will go down. Can he even tell Technoblade about this?
But... if Technoblade goes back to his world, he would only suffer with that knowledge as he continues what needs to be done. He couldn't let that happen. If Technoblade went home and suffered with that knowledge, he wouldn't feel better.
"I uhh I do know what will happen in the future." Tommy finally says.
Technoblade nods his head as he pulls the blanket up over his shoulder. "I cannot change my fate and I will accept that if you guys fix what needs to be fixed and grant my wishes. I know it sounds too much but it will mean so much to me." Technoblade laughs lightly, which makes Tommy relax.
"Okay, we'll try." Tommy promised.
"Thank you, Theseus." Technoblade whispers before yawning.
****
Technoblade leans on the chair as Tommy chats with his friends on discord, Tommy is playing Minecraft and mining cobblestones for some reasons.
Technoblade hums as he watches Tommy play the game, it looks sort of weird how this is actually the world he lives in. There were voices he recognizes but he had to remind himself that these people are this world's people and not from where he lives.
"Hey, Tommy." Techniblade's ears perks up when he hears a more familiar voice. "Ranbow?" Tommy pauses his game and exits to the menu screen. "Uh, is that Techno? Is Techno with you Tommy?"
"Uhhhh ummm sort of."
"What?"
Tommy pulls up the camera and turns on live in discord. "Ayo?"
"Anime Techno?"
"Holy shit you look much different!"
Technoblade blinks, forgetting that he have swapped with his counterpart. There were people he doesn't know but their voices are familiar. "This is uh... we got a problem honestly."
"What problem?"
"This is not the Techno we know."
"What do you mean?"
Tommy explains about Technoblade and Techno getting swapped, of course no one believed at first, so Technoblade thought he should stand up on his full height or transform in his real form. "No! We're not transforming into a fucking pig!" Technoblade laughs as he gets up on his full height. "Oh, oh, oh what the fuuuuuuck?"
"WHAT?!" Tubbo screams as Tommy laughs out loud as he shakily tries to adjust the camera view. "You were 6'3! 6'3!!!"
"Ranboo is not the tallest in the group anymore!" Sam laughs while clapping his hand.
"How tall are you?!"
"7'5?" Technoblade shrugs as he sits back down on his seat. "Jesus Christ." Sam mumbles and Ranboo cries, Tommy just laughing at their pain.
Everyone had to introduce themselves and Technoblade smiles at finally knowing who is who. "So this is what the code was for?" Sam brings up about the code, Tommy sputters his words and coughs. "Yeah, yeah, this is what code is for."
"Well, I can tell you that the code is going alright, should be done sooner than thought."
"Wait you're working with the code too?"
"Yeah, Dream asked because he needed help with it, it's a really complicated code since now I know that this is about swapping the Techno from our world and the Techno from the other universe."
Technoblade blinks, slightly nodding in understanding. They pushed that aside for now as Ranboo and Tubbo start asking questions about Technoblade's world, they were interested even if they have seen it through the game. But since Technoblade experienced everything, it felt different to hear about it.
Some time later, Technoblade gets up to get food and ducks out the room. Technoblade found Wilbur in the kitchen and steals a pizza from him. "Techno! Hey! Don't you dare be stealing all the pizza!" Wilbur scolds as he bites on his pizza.
"Can I cook something?"
"Yeah, don't use everything alright?"
"No problem."
"And cook me a plate too."
"Sure thing."
While Technoblade is cooking for the two of them, they hear Tommy screaming and a loud thud on the floor. Technoblade and Wilbur drops what they're doing and run to Tommy's room. "Tommy- Ow! What the fuck?!" Wilbur covers his eyes at the bright light in Tommy's room, Technoblade sees what seemed to be a portal in Tommy's room.
"Wait." Technoblade mumbles as he sees another person at the other side, he slips inside the room and tries to reach for the portal but it immediately closed. "Uh-! Wait!" Technoblade halts as his hand touches on solid wall and the portal is gone.
"Holy shit." Tommy released a heavy breath and tries to get up.
"No, no, no, please turn it back!" Technoblade begs and Wilbur recovers from getting flashbanged. "Techno, stop punching the wall! It's not going to come back!"
"But they were there! That was my world!"
"Technoblade!" Everyone pauses as they turn to look at the person at the door. Phil crosses his arms and a frown on his face. "Get back to the kitchen and continue your cooking, we'll talk later."
Technoblade sighs in defeat and follows Phil out of the room.
****
Technoblade and Wilbur awkwardly sit by the dinner table, eating the food that Technoblade cooked, Phil tapping on his fingers on the table. The two didn't speak until their plates were empty. "Sorry." Technoblade whispers.
"For what? You didn't cause any harm."
"For..." Technoblade takes a deep breath, thinking how does he put it into words. "The portal, I shouldn't have..."
"Don't think like that, it's understandable that you want to see your old world again."
"Plus that was so sudden, I thought someone got hurt for a moment."
"I'm guessing the code is working and the Dream in the other world is working on it, which connected to our world." Tommy comes in the room steal a piece of food from Wilbur's plate.
"That tells us that maybe Dream and Techno are working together to make the portal but they were just testing it. So it might have been dangerous for Technoblade to have jump in that portal too soon." Wilbur notes down, smacking Tommy's hand away.
"It may just need longer to work then expected." Phil adds.
Technoblade sighs, sadden that he's still need a little more time to wait for the code to be complete or at least safer to pass through worlds. They decided to rest for the night and leave it for now.
****
Technoblade is on his second giant bottle of bubble tea, it is a new drink he hasn't drank yet since he has gotten here, which made it taste even sweeter than before because he didn't bother to read the recipe. Tommy enjoys his burger while Wilbur is eating fries, Phil just eating a slice of pie.
Tommy was teaching Technoblade how to use a phone, which he finds hilarious because he knows exactly what phones look like and how they work in their world and he never uses them much, they usually just use the communicators.
But Tommy seems very happy and excited to help him understand, so he let him teach him about how to use a phone.
It took a few tries because Technoblade kept putting his fingers on the wrong buttons but he finally mastered it. "Whoa dude!" Tommy cheers as Technoblade puts his phone away.
"Now we can call each other!"
"I guess so." Technoblade agrees with a small smile. "Hey, hey, put my phone number in too." Wilbur nudges Technoblade and he snatches his phone out of his pocket, handing the phone to Wilbur. Wilbur puts his number in, as well as Phil's and hands it back to Technoblade.
"Don't lose that phone, okay?"
Technoblade nods. "I won't."
"Hey, should we visit Tubbo? Or should we call Ranboo to get here?"
"How about we invite everyone to meet Technoblade?"
"That's probably a bad idea, but we could call Ranboo and Tubbo. Sam have probably told Dream about Technoblade, but who knows." Phil shrugs.
Technoblade looks between his friends and nods, agreeing with the idea. They stayed by the park for a while, sometimes there will be two of the group leaving to buy food and come back to their spot, just talking about how the world works to Technoblade, and Technoblade explaining how his world works in exchange.
The sun goes down and Tommy feels tired, maybe lazy to get up so Technoblade carried him back to their home. Once the four of them get back they decide that they should try calling Tubbo and Ranboo since they haven't contacted anyone in days.
After many attempts (and a lot of arguing) they manage to contact the two boys after three hours without any trouble. Tubbo answers right away, "Hello hello!?" Tommy yells back a "hello" and they exchange words, explaining to him of a meet-up. Ranboo can't come but Tubbo can.
"Ok!" The boy said and hung up.
"What do we do now?" Tommy asks the other boys.
"We could play Mario Kart." Phil suggests with a smirk.
"Let's go! Let's teach Techno first!"
"Wait, do I get a say in this?!"
"No! You're joining us with no choice!"
"Mario kart!"
****
Technoblade let out a shaky sigh as he packs his clothes in a duffle bag that Phil gave to him. It was late at night, somewhere in 3 a.m. and he was packing up his stuff. Dream has contacted that the code is finished and that he'll be able to get home by the morning, so he can't sleep, he was excited to get home but also sad as he is going to leave the family he just found months ago.
Once he finished packing, he leans on the couch and stares at the ceiling, not liking how silent the house is. He hears some footsteps and turns around to face his brother- Tommy looking confused but also understood.
"Techno?"
"Hey, Tommy. Why are you up?" Tommy joins Technoblade on the couch and sighs. "I can't sleep comfortably. But I need to talk to you anyway..."
"Okay...?"
"When... when you get home. Can you tell your Tommy that everything will alright? I know he has betrayed you but can you promise me that you will protect him even when you're on uhh little on bad terms?"
"... Toms... I can't promise that but-" Tommy cut off by hugging him tightly and Technoblade gently wrapped his arm around Tommy and slightly squeezes him. "Promise me you will, and I promise you I- we can fulfill your wish as well. We'll get Ranboo back, we'll get Tommy and Wilbur back, we won't have this war anymore."
Technoblade sighs and closes his eyes. "Okay... Okay... I promise." He whispers.
****
"Thank you."
"Why so sour?" Technoblade asks Wilbur.
"You're leaving already and we don't even if the code will work."
"Hopefully it will."
"Nyeh. Promise me that you will be patient and listen to my music again?"
"I will listen to your music when you want me to, if you need a word then I will give them, if you just need me to stay silent then I will only listen as you wish." Wilbur blinks, he should be getting used to this right now. This Technoblade always seems to spit some good poetic words, so why does it still surprise him until now? Dammit.
"And... promise me that you wont fight with the other Tommy and Tubbo." Technoblade stares down at Wilbur who continues to look at him.
"I get that feeling but alright."
"Promise?" Wilbur nods.
"Yes, I promise."
"Holy shit!" The three people walk their way to Tommy's room and see a full on portal on his wall. "Welp. Guess it's a goodbye now, Techno."
"4 minutes Tommy!" They heard Dream on the speakers and Technoblade sighs. It was Wilbur who hugs Technoblade first, followed by Tommy and then Phil. "Thank you for taking care of me, I will never forget this." Technoblade whispers with a smile.
"I hope to see you guys again."
"God, no."
"Wow, I'm hurt."
The group shares their laughs and does their best to calm down.
"3 minutes!"
"Bye, see ya!"
The three let him go and Technoblade stares at his friends... his family before walking into the portal with a smile on his face. The portal swirls and turns from purple to pink, Techno comes out of the portal and sees his family.
"Oh god, Techno! You're okay!" Tommy clings on the Techno they know, the Techno they grew up with! Techno gently hugs Tommy back, but it felt cold, it felt empty. "Techno?" The portal disappears from his back and they can finally take a better look at Techno's condition. He looked... exhausted, seemingly like he has been working non stop in the other world.
"What happened?"
"Nothing... Just... I don't want to talk about it." Techno said as he pushes pass from his family, walking straight into his room and slamming it close. Tommy flinch and Wilbur winced, Techno never behaves like this.
"Should we...?"
"No. Not right now, let Techno rest. We'll ask him when he recovers." Phil said.
Tommy and Wilbur nods.
