Monster (Technoblade x Nonbinary!Reader)

Chapter 1: A New Way

Trigger Warnings: None

(Y/N) sat at a table across from the blood god himself. "Are you sure? What if something bad happens? Then what will you do?"

"(Y/N), listen. All I'm saying is I won't initiate any fights, but if they attack me first, I'll defend myself. Don't worry."

"But what about... You know..."

"The voices? Don't worry, I think we can figure something out. Right chat?" He ended his sentence looking off to the side as he usually did when addressing the voices. (Y/N) chuckled a little as he returned his attention back to them. "Right now they're saying 'E', but I'm sure we'll talk about it later," he said, cracking a smile. He stood up, stretching. (Y/N) mirrored his actions.

"What time is it?" They yawned.

Technoblade looked at the clock hanging on the wall. "About 10:30. Are you going to bed?" (Y/N) nodded, starting the climb up the ladder. They had been sleeping in Technoblade's room since the two built the house. The nights got cold and the attic was the warmest room in the house, and building another house was a poor use of resources. Plus, it left the other two floors plenty of space to put more things.

The two climbed up the ladder, and (Y/N) started to get settled into bed, before Technoblade said, "Wait! Channel Member Bell time!" (Y/N) never understood what a Channel Member Bell was, or what it was used for, but they liked that it made their friend happy, so they played along.

(Y/N) chuckled lightly and stood up. "Okay, but then we're going to bed." Technoblade smiled widely, and started ringing the bell.

"SUBSCRIBE TO TECHNOBLADE!" He yelled, continuing to aggressively ring the bell.

"HIT THE JOIN BUTTON!" (Y/N) yelled back.

"YEAH! LET'S GO! HIT THAT JOIN BUTTON TO BECOME A CHANNEL MEMBER! ONE OF US!" Technoblade told (Y/N) that the bell was for the voices, that it helped them get all of their energy out by yelling and chanting 'One of us'. (Y/N) sometimes wondered if it hurt when the voices yelled.

Technoblade finished ringing the bell with a smile on his face. "Okay, now we can go to bed." (Y/N) nodded in response, and got into their bed that was on the other side of the ladder than Technoblade's bed.

"Alright. Goodnight, Techno."

"Goodnight," he replied, blowing out the lantern that was still on.

Techno stared up at the ceiling. He couldn't sleep. He tried counting sheep, focusing on his breath, counting to one-hundred, and every other trick in the book. None of it ever worked. He sighed and sat up, rubbing his eyes. He climbed out of bed and carefully went down the ladder. He stopped climbing down on the main floor. Steve was sleeping on the floor, and Edward was lazily looking around the room. Techno didn't know if endermen ever slept. He sat on the furnace next to Edward.

"Hey, Edward," Techno yawned. The enderman stared back. Techno made an effort not to look in his eyes. "How are you?" Edward muttered something that Techno couldn't understand. "That's good, that's good."

Edward cocked his head. "Yeah, I know, I should be asleep." Techno never actually knew what Edward was saying, but he liked to talk to him anyway. Edward said something incomprehensible again. Techno sighed and stood up. "Alright, alright. I'll go to bed. See you, Edward," he said with a small smile.

Techno made his way to the ladder, petting the sleeping Steve on the way, and climbed up. As soon as he reached the top, he flopped onto his bed, the exhaustion finally kicking in. The last thing he saw before going to sleep was (Y/N)'s sleeping body laying on a bed only a meter away from his.

"I need a change," the man said, looking at his cape. "These clothes are bloodstained and ripped." He emphasized his point by showing me the several tears and stains. "And they have a bad reputation. Do you think we could get me new clothes? You and Phil could get some too!"

(Y/N) thought for a moment before nodding. "I think we could. Where could we get it, though?" 

Techno shrugged. "We could ask Phil." (Y/N) nodded and went out on a search for Philza. They found him chopping down some trees at the edge of a nearby forest. "PHIL!" Techno yelled, quickly grabbing the man's attention.

"Techno! (Y/N)!" Phil replied as the two drew nearer. "What's up?"

"Eh nothing much. We were wondering if you wanted to change outfits to fit our retirement."

Phil nodded. "That sounds great! Do you already have them?"

"No," (Y/N) replied. "We were hoping you could help us make them!"

"Sure, mate!" Phil put down his axe. "We should start by getting the stuff to make it. What colour should it be?"

Techno and (Y/N) looked at  each other, then back at Phil. "Blue?" Techno said. (Y/N) nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then. Could you two get some blue wool? I'll get the rest." 

With Philza's instruction, Technoblade and (Y/N) ran off to go collect some wool.

After a few minutes of walking, (Y/N) spoke. "Did Phil say what shade of blue he wanted?"

Techno shook his head. "Let's just- let's get a bunch of different kinds of the blue wool."

"Alright!" 

---

Technoblade and (Y/N) returned to the house with bags full of many shades of blue wool, along with some other colours that might go with it. "PHIL WE'RE BACK!" Techno yells as they walk in the door.

"Jesus Christ, Techno, you scared me," Phil said, looking up from the crafting table. "You got the wool?" Techno nodded, and he and (Y/N) put their bags of wool next to Phil. "Wow! That's a lot!"

"Well we do need to make clothes for three people," (Y/N) said. "And it's cold out so they should be warm."

"Well let's get to work!" Phil said excitedly.
