Chapter XXXIX- Bed Stealer

(Y/n's POV)

Movie night was a success.

Phil and Niki went to bed already.

Techno tells me that he's going up to bed so I walk up with him and take a detour into my room.

I grab the spare duvet from the cupboard and give it to him.

He looks at me strangely.

Me: "Didn't you say your room gets cold at night?"
I ask.

Techno: "I did. Weren't you mocking me about that earlier?"

Me: "Take it or leave it Techno,"
I push.

He reaches for it hesitantly.

Techno: "You sure you don't need it?"

Me: "Nah, our room is pretty warm,"
I say, gesturing back to my room.

Techno: "Thank you m'lady. I'll see you in the morning?"
He asks.

Me: "Yup. Text me if you can't sleep,"
I tell him and he nods.

Techno: "Goodnight."

Me: "Night."

He goes upstairs to his room and I go back downstairs to the living room. I'm planning to watch tv for a while before bed.

Tommy, Tubbo and Ranboo pass me on the way downstairs to go up to bed.

I switch on the tv and watch some rom-com until I get tired.

***

I check the time.

It's around two in the morning.

I switch off the tv and head upstairs, trying to avoid any creaks.

I slowly open my bedroom door, trying not to wake Tommy, who's snoring loudly.

I take a step towards my bed but halt when I find that someone's already sleeping in it.

A brown haired boy-

Tubbo.

He must of fallen asleep while him and Tommy were talking earlier.

That means Tubbo's bed will be empty but Ranboo and I aren't that close so...

'Welp, guess I'm sleeping on the sofa tonight'

***

Ten minutes later, I'm smoothing out the blanket I've laid on the sofa and propping up a pillow. It's a pretty good setup.

Suddenly there's footsteps on the stairs and I freeze.

Techno: "Y/n?"
His voice is groggy and deep from sleep.

I look up and see him at the bottom of the stairs, rubbing his eyes.

Me: "Sorry, did I wake you?"
I ask in a hushed voice.

Techno: "No just- what are you doing?"
He asks as his eyes catch the sofa.

Me: "Uhh- funny story, Tubbo's fallen asleep in my bed,"
I say humourlessly.

He chuckles.

A moment passes in silence.

Techno: "Come up to my room, you can't sleep down here,"
He tells me, turning around.

Me: "Wha-"
I go to ask but he's already walking up the stairs.

I hover awkwardly by the sofa for a moment.

He stops and looks over his shoulder at me and then walks back down the stairs.

He takes my hand and leads me up the stairs by his side. Less than two minutes later, we're at his room.

He opens the door and leads me in. Then he fixes his bed, which looks like it's been slept in, and gestures for me to get in.

Techno: "It's okay, I'll sleep on the floor,"
He tells me, moving a pillow to the floor.

Me: "No it's okay. Sleep up here,"
I tell him and he pauses.

Techno: "You sure?"

Me: "Yeah. We've fallen asleep with each other on FaceTime before. Surely it's not much different."

Techno: "Hmm, okay,"
He puts the pillow back on his bed and turns the lights off.

He climbs into bed and I do the same.

A few minutes pass in silence.

Me: "Hey techno?"

I can't see him because it's pitch black but I can feel him right beside me.

Techno: "Mhm?"
He hums.

Me: "Can you talk about mythology... again?"

He laughs.

Techno: "Sure. You know what bugs me?"
He starts.

Me: "What?"

Techno: "The fact that Percy Jackson is the only reason people know Greek mythology. Like- this ruins me-"

He's so dramatic about it that I laugh.

Hearing him talk about mythology in person is so much different than over the phone.

It's so much more... personal.

Techno: "It ruins me- like Percy Jackson is great and all but you know..."

He keeps talking and my eyes start to feel heavy.

I fall asleep listening to Technos voice again but this time he's right here with me.
