Bang! Bang!

Techno was used to waking up to those noise now that he has been living with Tommy these last few days, but it didn't make the experience more pleasing.

"Fuck! Where the bloody hell is it?"

Now Techno was curious, after all it had been quite awhile since Tommy had cussed in such a way. Maybe he was back to being his loud-annoying self.

"What is so important to make all this fucking noise Tommy?" Techno called out as he made his trek downstairs.

"I can't find my picture of the fucking tree."

"What?"

"The Christmas tree in L'manburg. Ghostbur took a picture of it to make me feel better and I can't find it." Tears began to prick at Tommy's eyes.

"What's so important about a dumb picture Tommy?"

"It's not just a dumb picture. It's my only reminder that I have someone who cares about me. Ghostbur went out of his way to get me that picture, even while I was exiled."

"I'm still not following Tommy." Techno began to notice the tears streaming down the younger's face, it made the voice call out for blood from whomever hurt him.

"When I was in exile no one came but Dream and Ghostbur. Ghostbur soon stopped coming though and I still don't know how I feel about Dream, but that picture made me feel hope that maybe someday I could go back home and I wouldn't be alone anymore." A choked sob escaped from Tommy, "But now it's gone. I'm alone again, Tubbo won't even visit me, Ghostbur is who knows where, I don't think Dream was ever my friend, and we're only partners."

Techno felt anger and the voices were calling for blood from practically everyone. It hurt that Tommy only saw him that way, but it was fair considering all the things Techno has said and done in the past.

"I need to go back." Tommy's weak voice pulled him from his thoughts.

"What?"

"I need to go back to Logstedshire, maybe it's still there."

"No!" Tommy jumped at the noise. Frankly the sternness from his voice kind of scared him too.

"Please, I need it."

"And what if Dream find it. Then what?"

"I don't know." Tommy admits miserably.

"I have an idea. Just stay here and take a nap or something."

Techno walked back upstairs and immediately began trying to contact Ghostbur.

"Hello Techno. I'm so happy you called me."

"Hey Ghostbur. I need some help with Tommy."

"You don't sound so happy. Do you need some blue?"

"No, but thank you. I actually need to know if you have a picture of the Christmas tree in L'manburg."

"Yes."

"Is it alright if you bring it to my house."

"I'm sorry, but Dream said I'm not allowed to go over there anymore, but maybe you can come and get it from me. I'm in L'manburg."

"Ok. I'll be there as fast as I can."

Techno hung up his communicator and called out to tell Tommy he would be back soon. Techno practically sprinted to get the picture, but by the time Techno had gotten back it was already late.

"Tommy, I brought you the picture." Techno was meant with silence as his only response.

He walked downstairs to see if the kid was asleep, but to his surprise no one was there. It scared him that Tommy wasn't here after all what if Dream had succeeded in getting Tommy back. Techno did leave him in a vulnerable state.

Techno ran back outside and began searching all around his house for any sign of the kid. Then in the distance he saw a figure with blonde hair and a white shirt with red sleeves.

"Don't scare me like that Tommy. I thought Dre-"

"It's beautiful." Tommy interrupted.

Techno looked to see what Tommy was talking about and saw the Northern Lights. Then he looked at Tommy and saw something he hadn't seen in quite awhile. His blue eyes sparkled at the sight of the lights and he was smiling, an actual smile that reached his eyes. It almost made Techno start crying when he realized that he hadn't seen Tommy look this happy since before the wars had began.

There two brothers stood watching the lights surrounded by a feeling of warmth and safeness that neither had felt for quite awhile.

"Welcome home Theseus."
