Angst/Whump prompt #9 with c!Techno?
“I think I’m gonna pass out.”
Techno staggered out of the Nether portal behind Phil. He stopped to lean against the obsidian, it felt good against his hot feverish skin. They had barely escaped the battle. It was him and Philza against 10 other people, it was going fine until someone threw a potion that released a black cloud of noxious gas. It had almost hit Philza but Techno jumped in front of him taking the full brunt of it. He was off for the rest of the battle staggering and missing easy hits. If it wasn’t for a well-aimed pearl who knows what would happened. Now he was laying down against the portal as Philza tried to rouse him. He didn’t remember sitting down, nor did he remember when the sky went from the soft oranges and yellows of noon to the black of night. He looked at Phil who was pacing back in forth in front of him rubbing his temples in worried thought. He tried to say something but his vision went black.
He woke up in his bed in his house. A candle was lit next to him and he could hear quiet discussion downstairs. He sat up causing the bed to creak under his large frame and the discussion stopped. There was silence then the sound of someone climbing the ladder up to his room. It was Phil, as soon as he saw Techno he ran over and hugged him “Hey mate, glad to see you’re awake” he put his hand on his forehead “And you don’t have a fever anymore”
“What happened, what was that potion, I need it for the next battle” Techno shifted so he could sit up better taking note of how heavy everything felt like someone has placed weights in his bones and ground down his joints.
“It wasn’t exactly a potion, it was more like a curse”
“What? They cursed me? Unlucky for them Technoblade never dies” Philza winced at that looking away briefly at the ladder “uh why are you making that face Phil, what happened?”
“You did die. Briefly, but I- we. Managed to handle the curse. If we didn’t it would have taken all three of your lives.”
“oh”
“But it didn’t! So you should rest, it’ll take a few more days for you to feel like you again, and don’t even worry about being defenseless I’ll protect you.”
“Thanks Phil”
