Work Text:
Technoblade's nerves were palpable, the room full of tension. He was having trouble sleeping. He was always like this the night before a war. Restless, tossing and turning. He has gotten a lot better since the two of you got together, at least he stays in bed through the night now. Even if he was calm and resting, you doubted that you would be able to rest. As soon as the sun rose, he would set off towards L'Manburg, towards doomsday.
He had made you promise that you wouldn't leave your shared home. It had caused a small fight because you were both very stubborn. You wanted to help and make sure he was safe. And he knew you'd be safest staying home. You'd backed down first, you knew how dangerous war was, especially with how many withers you knew he had. He'd hugged you and whispered a thank you into your hair when you finally gave in.
The same reason he had wanted you to stay home, was why you were terrified for his safety. It wouldn't be hard to get into a battle and not notice a wither getting ready to strike him. Or what if the Butcher Army attacked all at once wanting revenge? The wither would be attracted to the group, and you didn't even want to think of that.
He sighed and pressed a kiss against the back of your head before slowly pulling away from you, if you had been asleep the movement was gentle enough to not have woken you. He slipped out of bed and you sat up, watching him pick up his white shirt and black pants from a chair before heading into the bathroom, most likely to shower.
You heard the water from the shower head rush on as you started down the ladder. At the bottom of the ladder, a coat rack stood with his cape neatly hung on one of the hooks. You reached out to pat the inside ensuring that he hadn't taken the totem of undying out of the secret pocket you had sewn. You smiled and continued to make your way into the kitchen when you felt it. He didn't get a wink of sleep last night, so the least you could do was make sure he ate a hearty breakfast.
You took a pan and a small pot out of the cupboard and set them on different burners on the stove. You turned them on and grabbed the oil, pouring a little bit in the bottom of the pan. You grabbed six eggs from the fridge and a can of baked beans from a cupboard. You poured the can into the pot to heat up and you cracked the eggs into the pan. You were going to make scrambled eggs and baked beans. Hearty, but not heavy. You opened a drawer for a wooden spoon as the shower turned off above you. You stirred the beans as you heard him climbing down the ladders. You turned around and admired him as he fixed his shirt cuffs. He looked up and you made eye contact, you smiled softly as your cheeks tinted pink. You turned back around to mix the eggs and make sure that they were cooking evenly.
He wrapped his arms around your waist, leaning so that he could press his chest against your back, and place his face in the crook of your neck. He pressed a kiss against your neck, making you giggle. He gently pulled your waist back to be flush against him, still pressing soft kisses on your neck.
"Did I wake you, my love?" He moved his head from your neck to lean his chin against your shoulder, eyes on the food you were cooking.
You put your hand on his cheek and turned your head to press a kiss against his temple, "No lovey, I couldn't sleep. Same as you."
He hummed as you turned both of the burners on the stove off. He pressed one last kiss against your neck as he unwrapped his arms from your waist so he could open the cupboard and get out three plates. He placed them in front of the toaster and grabbed a loaf of bread to start placing slices into the toaster. It was your turn to wrap your arms around him. He turned to face you and smiled. You reached up and cupped his face in your hands. He wrapped one arm around you, pulling you closer. His other hand on the back of your neck. He leaned down, and you wrapped your arms around his neck while closing your eyes. He pressed his lips against yours and you were in heaven. His tusks pressed against you in a perfectly familiar way. He ran his tongue over your bottom lip just as the toaster dinged, releasing the toast. He pulled away with a breathy laugh. you both detangled yourselves from the other, smiling softly. You went to the fridge and pulled out the butter, handing it to him. You both heard a key enter the doorknob and Phil entered the house.
"Sun'll be up soon," You could hear the excitement and nerves in Phil's voice. Techno hummed and put more slices of bread into the toaster, then turned to you holding out a plate with buttered toast. You took the wooden spoon and served scrambled eggs and baked beans onto the plate. You turned around to find Phil leaning against the fridge, you smiled at him as you handed the plate to him. He said his thanks as he opened the cutlery drawer and took out three forks. He handed you two of the forks and dug in. The toaster released the toast and Techno buttered them before handing you the plate. You served the food and handed the plate back to him with a fork. He smiled at you and you leaned against the cabinets next to him, placing another two slices of toast into the toaster.
You exhaled shakily, seeing the sky start to change colors. Techno took your hand squeezing it gently. You looked up and met his eyes.
"We will be fine, my love. There is no need to worry."
"I'll keep him safe Y/N. I promise that he won't be any more scratched up than he is after a night with you," Phil said laughing. Your cheeks burned red and Techno looked away, coughing slightly, and ears red. Phil laughed harder seeing both of your reactions. The toaster dinged and you picked the toast up, buttering it and serving more food. You set the plate on the counter and picked the butter up, putting it in the fridge. There was a knock at the door, and Phil went to go and open it. You all knew Dream would be the one standing there. You picked up the plate and the fork and went to give them to him.
Techno lightly grabbed your arm before you could leave the kitchen. He took the plate out of your hands, and he pulled you into his embrace and he kissed you. You melted into the kiss and wrapped your arms around his neck as he pulled you impossibly closer. There was a small cough and Techno pulled away from you. Resting his forehead against yours for a few seconds before pulling away and nodding. You took a deep breath before picking the plate back up and heading out of the kitchen. Techno right behind you.
Dream was leaning on a stack of chests when you entered the room. You handed him the plate and he lifted his mask up slightly, thanking you. You nodded and began to rifle through a chest looking for a red ribbon, a hairbrush, and a tie. Techno saw what you were looking for and sat down in one of the chairs so it would be easier for you to reach his hair. You handed him the tie and the ribbon and started gently brushing his hair. Behind you, Phil and Dream were talking but you tuned them out, giving Techno your full attention. He closed his eyes and started humming softly. It was only loud enough for you to hear and it made you smile. He held up the ribbon as you set the brush down. You began to braid the ribbon into his hair, ending it with a tie so it would be more secure before tying the ribbon into a pretty bow to hide the tie.
He stood up and pressed a quick kiss against your forehead. He pulled his armour off of the stand and began to put it on as Phil did the same.
He picked his cape off of the hook and handed it to you leaning down. You fastened the cape around his neck and pressed the small pocket against him so he would remember that it was there.
Dream handed the plate back to you and you motioned for him to follow you a bit further into the house. Techno and Philza were busy picking up everything they needed for the day, so they didn't notice.
"Dream, if they get hurt I will murder you." His mask was still pushed up so you could see him smirk. He turned around and walked away leaving you to take the plate back to the kitchen.
When you walked back into the main room, Dream was already waiting outside, the sun nearly over the horizon. Phil hugged you and once again promised to keep Tehno safe. He shut the door behind him as he walked out of the house.
Techno pulled you into a hug, "I will be back by tomorrow morning, my love. I promise." He kissed you softly, before walking out of the house closing the door behind him.
From outside you heard Dream loudly say, "I see why you chose them Technoblade."
"HEH?"
