================
"Oh blaaaaaaaade~ Blade! Techno! My favorite alien! You can't ignore me!!!!"
Tommy eagerly followed Techno around the upgraded ship. The new ship being much larger than their old one, Techno demanded that the ship still have wiring or to at least not rely on some credit hoarding greedy company that will program it to break.
A bright green hair clip was clipped in his hair, the green gem bright and polished, clearly taken care of and cherished. A contrast against Tommy's gold hair but one he did not care. Just excited about following Techno around the new ship.
Dream helped them all set up with the new ship and they even visit the Kristin crew often. Tommy had to adjust for awhile to Dream, who still kinda creeped the hell out of him but he was alright. George was squishy, and Sapnap was a great source of heat.
Techno sighed as he looked back at Tommy, looking like he'd rather fix the engines than have Tommy blowing his sensitive eardrums away. "Yes Tommy?"
"Have you taken a break yet?"
Odd question to spring up on him. "Not really, no"
Tommy grabbed his arm and tried hauling him away from his work, succeeding to budge him a little but fail in dragging him.
"Well we can't have that! C'mon Tech! Take a break and hangout with me!"
"Bruhhh, that's gonna be even more work"
"OI! BITCH!"
Techno laughs as Tommy defends his honor, He walks past Tommy who starts trailing behind him. Techno doesn't know what he was expecting from the human once they could talk, but he sure had a mouth on him.
-----------------
"So blade" Tommy clapped his hands, shooting an apologetic look when he saw Techno's ears flinch in irritation at the noise. "What do you want to do for a break? We can ask Phil for a quick space trip, mess with Wilbur, go to the gardens- which by the way, SO much better than on our old ship I'm just saying"
Tommy rambles about possible options, Jumping from one way to the next, a skip in his step that could rival Technos own hops. Techno looks around, seemingly disinterested but Tommy knows better. His ears were aimed at him, standing tall as he spoke, confidently knowing that Techno was listening to him.
They pass by the kitchens and Tommy swipes some star fruits while snatching a gapple for Techno, tossing him the fruit.
Techno effortlessly caught it without looking, the glorious bunny/pig bastard.
They pass a chatting Phil, talking with Mumza, Wilbur trying to fix his Guix. A journal of sorts laid next to him with a pen. Techno found it odd that the pen had a little bow on it, a blue bow, Stars he even named the damn thing "Friend" after the incident.
"Hi Mumza!! Bi Phil! Bye Dino boy!" Tommy waves them a hi and taunts Wilbur, Who looks up with an angry glare. "Fuck off you cuddly gremlin!"
"LIES AND SLANDER!"
Laughter from Philza and Kristin echo in the room. "Boys please! Calm yourselves!" Wilbur pouted and mumbled that Tommy started it.
She merely giggles and waves at Techno, chirping in greetings. "Hello Technoblade, I hope you haven't suffered for long"
Phils wings puff indignantly. "I've had to deal with THEM! What do you MEAN!?"
Techno huffs and chuffs, amused at the chaos that easily emerged from the mere presence of Tommy. But he did want to have a break with Tommy, not that he'll say it out loud or to the boy.
"Tom, didn't you want to-"
"Oh! Right right!" He hugs Phil and avoids a hair ruffle from Wilbur before booking out of the room and grabbing Technos paws and dragging him away. Techno looks back with a mocking look of dread.
"Help"
They just smile at him, the traitors. Betrayal of the highest order.
-------------
"What did you want to do Techno? You didn't actually tell me now that I think about it"
They walk out of the ship. They landed on a market planet, said main market was a good way away but they all wanted some space for a bit before heading over for some supplies. Unwind and all.
He didn't used to unwind before, His method used to be reading books and working on the ship alone until someone came to get him. Sometimes Tubbo and Ranboo would try but didn't really succeed in the past.
Tommy on the other hand took it as a challenge to get Techno to take breaks, unwind and learn to just have fun with his crew, even going as far as to claim positive contact with humans is crucial for Tommy's health and he will be very sad and depressed if Techno did not give him a hug.
(He will ignore how he instantly hugged the yellow haired human, who soaked up the hug like a leech)
The planet side they landed on was night, the breeze was low and fresh, animals and all sorts of night crawlers were out and about, Tommy always looked amazed every time they land, no matter the planet and no matter the amount of times they visit.
"Are we doing somethin' on planet Tech?" Curious blue eyes glance over at him, admiring how Techno could walk with confidence anywhere he is. It was obvious to everybody that Tommy looked up to all of them, but he seemed to look up to Techno and Wilbur the most. Techno isn't quite sure who he looks up to more, but he wouldn't mind either answer, he feels honored that Tommy loves spending time with him, someone less expressive and outgoing as Wilbur. Tommy always made sure that Techno knew damn well that he, as an individual, is just as special and amazing as everyone on the crew. Cooler than Wilbur and Philza Minecraft himself.
"You're only saying that so I can teach you how to use a sword and gun"
"PLEASE TECHNO I PROMISE TO BE CAREFUL!"
Afterwards he had Tommy swear off the guns after nearly taking out a side of the ship's thrusters, but swords are still an option.
Techno finds a small field, a decent way from the ship and sits down comfortably. Tommy would compare it to a king sitting down on the grass. Tommy sits down next to Techno, gazing up at the sky, eyes wide and in awe every time he looks up at the stars now that he doesn't feel as lonely as he used to be in the past.
They shared a moment of silence, Admiring the night sky. Tommy admiring the colors of the sky and Bright new stars in new angles he's never seen back on earth and Techno searching for the familiar stories in the sky.
"Do you remember the stories I've told you about the stars?"
"yea, the constellations, what we have back on earth"
Techno nods. "Back where I came from, my home planet, we called them Specs. They seemed so small up in the night sky, much bigger and so far away, and yet they look so tiny up there huh?"
Tommy looks back up, thinking. "Y'know, back on earth, people either believed aliens were real, or that they weren't"
Techno tilts his head, ears flopping. "What did you think?"
"I hoped aliens were real"
"Did you regret it?"
"...."
"No, not really. Even with how it started off, being abducted and in space with bad aliens confirmed to me that we weren't alone"
Techno turns over to Tommy, confused. "Why would you think you're alone? You had people on earth didn't you? I know you said you didn't really have a family but you still had people right?"
Tommy nods, his hands fiddling and tearing up some grass. "Yea, I had some people. But humans are weird like that. Humans don't really like being alone, not really. Even the most solitary person has someone or yearns for someone. We're social creatures, you know this"
"Yea but what does that have to do with space and aliens?"
"Well, When some of us found out how... small.. earth is in the grand scheme of things in space we felt lonely, surely we can't be the only things alive out here floating around a star. So, some of us believed or hoped in some way aliens were real. That we had other sentient people out there looking at the same void of space"
Techno chuffs in thought. The air is silent between them.
"You shouldn't have to wish, for other people to acknowledge you or be lonely when you have people close by"
Tommy turns to Techno, blue eyes confused. "huh?"
"You shouldn't have to wish, hope and wait for other people to remember and acknowledge you. Or do big grand things to make them adore you if it zaps energy from you"
It was a silent jab at Tommy, a gentle one really. When Tommy first spoke, his personality was loud, drastic, a big show. But Techno could easily see through Tommy, how his loudness tired himself out, how he got a sore throat from making himself loud and exciting for the crew. They talked to Tommy together as a crew Family that Tommy didn't have to do any of that and they loved him before all of it. That he can be himself and he'd be loved.
(he had broken down during that talk)
Tommy swallowed, Technos ears picking up on the quiet sound. "Well... it's just a thought really..."
Techno shakes his head and replies. "No. You shouldn't have to change yourself for people, whether it's around a globe or out in space. Just be yourself" He lightly bonked Tommy's head with his paw. "Even if your personality and being yourself is still just as loud"
Tommy smiled brightly, tempted to give a mighty yell of agreement but he glanced at Technos ears and he instead just chuckled at him.
"What about you oh great Technoblade? Who would you want to remember you?"
Techno didn't hesitate.
"All of you"
"Ay? All of us? The crew?"
"The crew, you, Dream's team, My friends, even people who have briefly met me. Because if I can be myself, no matter how monotone, moody (-hah, you admit it you grumpy bunny-), protective, and warrior-like, I can be remembered. And that's how real immortality exists. I can live forever just like that, in the minds and memories of people"
It's quiet again, briefly Techno worries he said too much to the kid, making it sound like he's ready for his own death when he feels Tommy lean against him.
Tommy's voice is quiet "I think you'd be remembered so much more than just that. You're smart, strong, badass" There's a smile in his voice. "Too damn sarcastic for his own good, Witty-" Techno bumps him on the head with his paw. "Okay, now you're just sucking up"
Tommy laughs "No really! You're so much more than that! Everyone agrees!"
Techno paused. "Why did that sound like it was present tense?"
"Cause it is mate"
Behind them the rest of the crew walked towards them. Wilbur and Phil looked more emotional than the rest.
Techno gaped for a second. "How the hell didn't I hear you? Actually- how did you find us?"
Tommy puffed up his chest like a proud fledgling. "I distracted you! Also I saw Tubbo following us when we left the ship, I think he made them follow"
Techno doesn't get to respond to Tommy about betrayal when he's scooped up in a hug by everyone else.
Phil chirps. "Of course we'll remember you mate, Every one of us will remember you and each other, alive or passed. No version of you would be forgotten"
He relents into the hug, embracing them for a moment until they all sit comfortably on the grass floor, gazing up at the sky surrounded by the ones that care for them.
He hears Ranboo, Tubbo and Tommy talking, Tommy recounting constellation stories from earth and Tubbo not believing a word of it, Ranboo playing peacekeeper between them.
He sits between Wilbur and Philza, enjoying their presence and company. His tail threw some pebbles at Tommy's head, startling a squawk out of him.
He's fine, their fine, and that's all that really matters in the end.
-------------------------
This helped my head when I wrote it ngl. Still sad but I felt confident as I wrote this.
This is a tribute that I made for Technoblade. This might be the fastest I've written a chapter tbh. And I don't regret it. I hope you enjoyed reading this and hope you've drank some water and ate. Stay well and enjoy the people you have with you, sick or healthy.
I thought, If I'm going to continue writing Technoblade then I'm going to write him as the great bastard that he is, Smart, Kind, witty, sarcastic as heck. The story may revolve around Tommy but you best believe I'll do Techno justice.
I sincerely hope you enjoyed this.
