Chapter Text

Dream never removes his mask, only when he knows he's alone, never In Front of people no matter how much trust he puts in them. He just couldn't bring himself to give people a weakness they could exploit, but in the nether it was a different story.

Looking around he made sure nobody was near as he carefully made his way down the netherrack cliff and towards the sounder that resided next to the lava, he slowly walked towards the entrance and pulled his mask off. He was a bit ashamed of how he looked, his hair was pure white and skin a stark ivory color and his eyes shining emerald. But what gave away what hybrid he was is the bone white tusks peeking from his lips and the tail swishing shamefully behind him. His ears were pressed to his head as he shyly made his way into the sounder, he was shorter than them without his mask on.

The mask itself helped him hide what he truly was, a piglin hybrid, the mask made him look completely human and made him taller which was a plus. Taking a deep breath he made his way to the merchant piglins, he was extremely rusty with his piglin but he tried his best making sure his snorts and chuffs came out comprehensible for them to understand.

Which luckily they did, he had come to the nether for some blaze rods and nether wart, as a certain season was coming up, and it was coming fast. It was mating season for the piglins even the hybrids, so he was getting ingredients for a potion to pause his season, he didn't have to worry about this before but a few months ago Technoblade another piglins hybrid moved into his server, well he had allowed him to move in as both Wilbur and Tommy had requested it and he saw no harm but that was before he actually met the man.

Technoblade was an older piglin, Techno was about 3 years older than him from what Wilbur had said making the other piglin 23 as Dream himself was 20. After about 2 and a half hours of being in the nether getting as many materials he could carry he bid the sounder goodbye politely before sliding the mask back on feeling himself get taller and looking down at his hands he could see they were tanned and not his normal Ivory.

On his way to the portal he had to tear his eyes away from many craters of gold embedded into the netherrack, when he finally left the nether he made his way through the SMP to his home. He was walking past the community house when his name was yelled, turning to the voice he could see that it was Sapnap poking his head out of the door of the community house and waving him over.

“What’d you want Sapnap? I'm busy” he said, a bit irritated, but he got no reply as he was dragged inside where he was met with a weird sight. A drunk Wilbur professing his love to a Salmon that had been put into a glass tank, he put his bag to the side and crossed his arms “what the hell did you guys do?” He said looking around the room, Bad, Skeppy, George, Tommy and Phil were laughing at Wilbur as Sapnap was still standing beside him.

“We've done nothing, GreenBoi! How could you accuse us like that, where's the trust!” He tilted his head in a ‘Really?’ motion making Phil laugh, “look mate Wilbur got drunk on his own and we found him here trying to fuck the salmon, he named her Sally by the way.” He sighed “uh huh sure, but I'm not uniting this fucked up relationship your son has with a damn fish” he said ignoring Wilbur who was whining now “She's not just Fish! She's my wife!” He rolled his eyes and put his bag on before making his way to the door only to open it and run into a broad chest.

A hand shot out and grabbed his waist steadying him, blinking his eyes immediately zoned in on the golden clasp holding a cape around the others shoulders, the softest chuff left him as he forced his hand away from where it was trying to touch the chain and looked up at Technoblade who was still taller than him even with his mask on.

“Sorry Tech, didn't mean to run into ya but I really need to be leaving” he said moving around the other and could feel a blush burning his cheeks as he left and hurried to his hideout dumping the ingredients onto the table before pulling his mask off tossing it onto the nightstand. In the mirror he grimaced and pulled his boots off revealing hoofed feet as his hands had long black claws, he knew he looked weird as his own sounder abandoned him when they thought he was old enough to fend for himself though he had made it to the overworld as fews years after that and had gotten his hands on the mask he now wore every day.

He pulled his eyes away from the mirror and pulled off his clothes heading to the bathroom when he started the shower and made sure it would be boiling hot, his tail flicked behind him in rapid impatience as he waited though once it was to temp he almost jumped into the shower but thought better of it as he didn't want to fall, that would just be a waste of a health pot.

The next day he set about brewing the potions he needed before leaving his hideout to let the potions sit for a while, he knew the season was getting evermore closer as he could now smell distinct scents from people though one was more enticing than the rest, but he didn't dare let himself indulge in it as he joined up with his friends to go mining. In the midst of it though he split up away from his friends for a bit and went to immediately seek out gold, it was sadly a guilty pleasure of his and something he couldn't shake from his being.

He didn't notice the large figure enter the stone chamber he found himself mining away at the gold as excited chuffs left him, he was only snapped out of it when a deep snort echoed in the room. Slowly he stood up turning around to find Technoblade, “Hullo” the other said monotony, he gingerly lifted his hand up in a wave backing away slightly In Front of the gold so that Techno wouldn't be able to see and take it from him as the other was also a piglin hybrid.

All Techno did was give him a calculated look before huffing loudly and moving on, mining out a different part of the cave and continuing on his way. Dream let out a breath he didn't know he was holding, he breathed in the scent of Techno full force making him blush under the mask, Chuff involuntarily left his mouth making him shocked and shook his head “No! I'm not doing this” he growled to himself before going back to mining his gold.

Chapter Text

Ok things have gotten weird, or at least he thinks they have. After that day in the cave he had run into Techno a few more times, and that's way more times than he's comfortable with.

Sighing he grabbed a potion from his bag and drank the liquid inside, it was disgusting but he had to drink them if he wanted to be able to go through this season without incident. It took him a long minute to zone onto the breathing behind him, making him turn around to find no surprise to anyone, Technoblade again. “Hullo” Techno said, nodding his head he put his hand up in a small wave “hey Techno, what're doing here?” he asked a bit nervously.

Techno said nothing just staring at him intently before pointing behind himself, Dream glanced behind the other shocked to find a polar bear with a collar that read Steve on it, how had he not seen it! “Steve wanted to go on a walk, and we ran into you, the local homeless teletubby getting drunk in public. Not a very good look for you Dream”, he huffed crossing his arms “ok for one I'm not homeless and two I wasn't getting drunk for your information” Techno didn't look convinced making him groan before the potion bottle was taken from his hands, his eyes widened as Techno sniffed the contents before taking a sip of it.

No reaction, the other just handed it back to him with a nod but he could almost see a knowing look in Techno’s eyes, “hm sure tasted like alcohol to me, maybe your just a lightweight Dream” with that Techno and Steve continued past him and once out of sight he growled frustrated, why did he keep showing up at the worst times!

That same week Dream was rebuilding the prime church as Tommy had ‘accidentally’ blew half of it up, but he knew the little shit did it on purpose. When he was finally done with the roof he was about to find his ladder before he slipped on the edge, his eyes shut tightly expecting for the pain and a few hearts to be ripped away but it didn't come as instead he landed in someone's arms.

Blinking he felt a relieved snort leave him before looking up to of course see Techno, worst timing. He yelped and practically tumbled out of the man's arms a bit away from him, the other just looked amused. “You good there? That was quite the fall” he nodded and decided to ignore the man as Dream quickly turned around making his way to Bad and Skeppy's house knowing full well Techno was either going to follow him or just watch him leave. Luckily Techno seemed to have better things to do than harass him that day as when he arrived at his friend's place the other was nowhere in sight.

A shiver ran up his spine before he knocked on the door waiting for it to open, took a few minutes but eventually the door was opened and he was let inside. “Dream hello! Why’re you here, are you ok?” Bad asked, looking him up and down before closing the door, he shrugged “can I talk to you?”Bad nodded and told him to follow to the living room where Skeppy was looking at diamonds.

“Skeppy Dreams here, we're going to the bedroom to talk” Bad said smiling, Skeppy said nothing but gave a thumbs up to Bad before flipping Dream off, “Skeppy! Be nice” Bad said huffing before motioning him to follow. He was taken to Skeppy and Bad”s room and went to sit in the desk chair while bad sat on the bed.

“So what's on your mind, Dream?” he shuffled in the chair, “ok you're from the nether right?” Bad nodded but stayed silent waiting for him to speak again, “ok well how do you know if someone from the nether is acting weird, or if it's just them being well them!” he said putting his hands out dramatically and for emphasis, Bad raised a brow and hummed.

“Well it just depends on the person-” without missing a beat he immediately cut Bad off and said “Technoblade” it made Bad pause in talking as the demons brows furrowed, “huh wasn't expecting that one, I would've thought it would be Sapnap or Ponk” he shrugged sighing defeatedly. “Ok so, Technoblade, Muffins I don't know Dream. What exactly is he doing that you find weird and concerning?” he bit his lip under his mask and scratched his neck, “well he keeps showing up randomly, specifically when I'm alone. It started when came back from the nether and had bumped into him leaving the community house a while back”.

“Hmm you said a while back, I assume a week or two ago. So uh” he watched as Bad’s face flushed brightly and put his head in his hands, “so Dream this is embarrassing to say but it's mating season for the nether at the moment and the time of this happens means that the season is finally in full swing, and Techno is affected by it just as much as I am and Sapnap and Ponk, any netherborn really, even hybrids” Bad said but it made him roll his eyes as he already knew that, he may have been born in the nether but he didn't have a sounder long enough to understand mannerisms around the season.

“And you said that this happened after you came back from the nether, there's a few possibilities here. You somehow got the scent of an unmated piglin on you and Techno is attracted to it, he is being territorial and wants to keep an eye on you in case of threat, or he is attracted to you.” Huh? What the hell was Bad saying, “pfft no! He can't be attracted to me, that's- that's ridiculous. Thanks for trying to help Bad but I think you got this all wrong” he said Laughing as he stood up from the chair.

“Dream just hear me out, one of those could be why he's like this!” He shook his head as Bad followed him down the stairs and to the front door, he was ready to go home. “Bad as I said thanks for hearing me out, if it means that much to you then I'll think about if any of those are true but I think I'm gonna go” he said opening the door only to freeze as Techno is standing right outside the door.

The others expression was passive and just staring at him till Bad came to stand beside him, and Dream watched Techno’s face contort for a second to something of anger and possessiveness before going back to normal, “oh uh it seems Dream was telling the truth” Bad mumbled under his breath, he scoffed and elbowed Bad in the side. He didn't expect the next second for him to be grabbed by the arm and pulled to Techno’s side.

“Uh Techno, you good?” Techno said nothing and just kept staring at Bad, “I'm sorry Tech, Dream just wanted to talk, nothing more I promise” Bad said pleadingly putting his hands up in surrender. He watched Techno continue to stare at Bad a bit longer before Snorting loudly and turned to walk away still keeping hold of his arm.

Chapter Text

He didn't say anything as he was dragged away from Bad’s home, just continued to stare at the back of Techno’s head. He was pulled through the server and into the nether where he finally realized Techno was trying to take him back to the snow where he lived with Phil.

Shaking his head, snapping himself out of whatever trance he was in and started trying to pull Techno’s hand off of him “Techno let go, I'm fine. We are nowhere near Bad’s house.” he looked up from looking at his wrist to see that the other hadn't even glanced at him! “Techno! Technoblade I said let go!” He said with as much venom as possible and before he knew it his claws had slashed Techno's wrist and arm causing the other to let him go.

He quickly backed away looking down at his fingerless gloved hands, he could see his claws fading away hidden by the enchantment again, he didn't know what just happened but he wasn't about to argue about it as it got him out of Techno's grip. Techno slowly turned around and looked down at his arm and hand seeing the blood drip down, Dream watched as a droplet fell to the netherrack and sizzled as it burned away.

He swallowed, backing away some more as Techno looked up at him, the others eyes glowing a bright red causing something In the back of his mind weak at its knees, the potion he took earlier worked perfectly but the smell of soldering coming from Techno was almost overpowering it. He wrapped his arms around himself as he started shaking, the tingling was back making him pant as it settled in his chest.

Techno took a step towards him and a few fearful clicks left his mouth making Techno pause where he stood, he couldn't read the others expression but he saw something of almost recognition and guilt cloud Techno's eyes. After a few seconds Techno continued forward quickly and grabbed the name of his neck, squeezed it and pressed his forehead to Dreams mask. And apology, his instincts screamed at him, Techno huffed and pulled away making his way to the portal they were heading to, not looking back or continuing to drag him there.

Once the other was out of sight through the portal he fell to his knees ripping his mask off his head and dry heaved, his senses overwhelmed with all that happened in a short time, his tail flicking through the airm his eyes wide as tears pricked the corners.

A part of him was screaming at him to follow, to follow the other and see where this could lead but it scared him, he didn't want it, he didn't want a weakness. He just needed to get through this season then it'll be fine, slowly picking himself up he wiped his mouth on his sleeve before putting the mask back on and went back through the community portal to his home.

He needed a shower, he needed the scent of the nether off of him, he needed the scent of Technoblade off of him. He showered for almost an hour making sure to get both scents off of him, once out and dressed he resigned himself to sleeping till the next day as he was too tired to deal with Techno’s creepy stalker bullshit.

When he did wake up he woke up to his communicators being flooded with messages from people, he took a glance and it seemed something was going down at the community house. Sighing he slowly got dressed and made his way to the community house dragging his feet as he didn't really want to deal with whatever was happening but he had to.

He tightened the strap on his mask once he got to the house, opening the door he trugged inside and closed it before he was grabbed by the shoulders and whipped around, “Dream what the hell is going on!” Ok it was Sapnap who seemed to have grabbed him, and who was also yelling at him. “What are you talking about?” He said confused, sleep still lingering in his mind right next to the push of something telling him to get Sapnap’s hands off him.

He shrugged and pulled out of his friend's grasp, “Don’t play dumb Dream! Bad over here said that Technoblade came and dragged you away yesterday!” He blinked and stood there as his brain caught up, “oh” is all he could get out before the others who were also in the room started yelling at him, confused on what was going on.

The yelling and demands for answers continued though he didn't have answers to most of them as they weren't even about what was going on and just random things, really his friends just wanted to yell about something. He rolled his eyes and went to slump onto the couch, resigning himself to this headache for however long it continued.

About half an hour in to the continued yelling as it now turned into a debate about random things he was still on the couch but his attention was pulled to the door was Philza walked in with Technoblade right behind him, he stiffened seeing the other and pulled his legs up onto the couch curling up. He didn't know if Techno would try anything after he clawed his arm, though he did apologize it seemed but Techno shouldn't have been the one to apologize, so he was a bit unsure of being around him, that on top of the stalking that is.

Philza looked around the room before spotting him and smiled, the man came over to him and sat beside him, Technco stood off the the side looking uncomfortable but was staring right at him. A shiver ran up his spine as quiet voices of ‘Mine, mate’ rang through the back of his mind, it was his instincts.

Pushing that thought away he turned to Philza who had a brow raised, “Wow you really do have his attention huh” Phil said and he cocked his head confused. “I don't get it but, it's like he's stalking me and it's almost like you know why, so spill it” he hissed glaring at Phil from behind his mask.

The man laughed and put a wing around him before glancing up at Techno, he followed Phil’s gaze and could see a look of possessiveness in Techno's eyes. His view of Techno was cut off by Phil flaring his wing to obscure his sight, glancing back at the Avian he saw a smirk, “Aw mate, you seem confused by all of this.” He nodded a bit and shrugged again, “well I'll give you a heads up, don't panic” is all Phil said before moving off the couch leaving him there, Techno was now standing In Front of him holding out a homemade box made of polished Black Stone with emerald green felt inside carefully holding a golden choker with an Emerald in the middle.

“Huh” he looked between the choker and Technoblade a few times, his hands twitchy as he really wanted the gold, it was just so pretty. “This is my courting gift Dream, do you accept it?” His eyes widened and could feel his face burning behind the mask, this was the reason he had those potions, this was the reason he was weary around this season.
He swallowed, “if you don't accept it it's fine, i'll try again next season” Techno said nonchalantly, and that didn't sound good.

He didn't want to be harassed by Techno again next season, Techno was about to close the box and pull away only for Dream to surprise even himself and quickly snatch the box away from the other with a chuff staring down at the gold now in his possession.
“Welcome to the family, mate!” Phil said laughing loudly, oh shit what did he get himself into.

Chapter Text

Technoblade hadn't thought of anything more than annoyance when the season started, the slow building of tingling heat going through his body annoyed him.

He never had a mate, he's never looked for one, and he didn't particularly want to start now. But plans change, they always change.

He had been feeling irritated all day, he huffed leaving his home and entered the nether making his way to a sounder. Phil had been needing some magma cream for a while now, and he personally was a bit sick of his friend accidentally burning his feathers when In the nether.

He was almost to the entrance of the sounder when he smelt something faint, his nose twitching as he got closer to the sounder itself. He had never smelt something like that before, he'd always been repulsed by the scents of the nether piglins during the season, but entering the sounder camp he could tell that the source of the scent hand left recently as it wasn't new but still heavy in the air as if the other had no idea it was being spread everywhere.

He followed it completely, almost, forgetting the magma cream. But he received a message from Phil reminding him to get him some. He went around to the stalls trying to find Magma cream till he stopped at one seeing as the Piglin was restocking, he could hear a few behind him talking about some weird looking Piglin that had come through not too long ago, saying stuff about the piglin being bone white.

He paid it no mind and got what he had come for before making his way to the community portal nearby. He had to stop and talk to one of the others about possibly getting a trade with his potatoes for some golden carrots. They obviously won't agree but he can be pretty persuasive once he has an axe in hand.

Leaving the portal the scent was there again, slowly he followed it down the path and to the community house. It was stronger there as if the source was right inside, standing there about to open the door before it opens and someone walks into him, his eyes widened and he quickly grabbed the others waist so they wouldn't fall.

After a few seconds he realized that it was Dream, and the scent he had been so taken by was practically seeping from the masked man. He noticed Dream's hand almost barely reaching out for the gold chain of his cape before he heard the smallest almost nonexistent chuff, he almost thought he had imagined it before the hand pulled back with a nervous laugh.

“Sorry Tech, didn't mean to run into ya but I really need to be leaving” Dream wiggled out of his grip and he stared at the other as he was leaving. He hummed in thought before going back to what he was doing, he will in Phil’s words, “Sulk on it” later.

When he finally got back to his home he threw the magma cream at Phil’s face which popped around the wall to the kitchen, he immediately went upstairs to his room. His mind not completely there as it was stuck on the idea of that scent coming from Dream, he grabbed a few things before going back to the nether. He made it to a spot a bit away but not too far from his portal before digging out a large den, he set up the place before he flinched away his face somewhat flushed.

Pinching his nose he groaned realizing that he had just made a den for him and Dream, he sighed, resigning himself to this as he's never one to refuse his instincts as he'd been saved by them many times, especially when the voices decide to be trolls.

He sits there for a bit looking at the obvious “Love Nest” or whatever the equivalent is as it was different for every sounder. He couldn't remember what it was for his own, but he did remember some of the courting methods they had.

Once he steadied his mind he sighed getting up before making sure the entrance was hidden since he didn't want any unwanted visitors in his den, the den that his instincts say will hold his mate, their children. Quickly shaking the thoughts from his head he went around collecting any and every piece of gold he could, without upsetting the neighbors of course.

Once that task was complete he mined as much black stone as possible, and killed quite a few hoglins before heading back to his home. He set the materials on a bench and hummed, he was missing something, he looked through some of his materials before finding some leather that still had a bit of fur on it.

The process wasn't quick, he didn't rush, made sure to threaten Phil, Tommy, or Wilbur if they even thought about bothering him. They listened of course but that didn't save him from the teasing his friends put him through.

The first to be finished was the box, he had an idea of what he would make but the box for the presentation of said item was just as important and looking at the polished black stone box made pride settle in. He lined the bottom with feathers before adding the furred leather on top, the leather had been dyed with cactus and mixed with some blue to make a beautiful emerald color.

Tommy had asked him he was doing all of this for someone he practically sniffed out and his response was simple enough in his opinion, “instincts Tommy, yours tell you to fly and mine tell me when it's time to get horny over someone. We sadly can't pick and choose” yea not his brightest example but it had done his job despite Tommy and the voices calling him ‘HornyBlade’, he had walked himself into that one.

Another week went by and he had just finished polishing the choker he had made, it was shiny gold with an Emerald embedded into it. The metal was seamless and just clicked on, he gently placed it into the box with a small nervous smile, he didn't truly know why he was nervous but he still was. He grabbed the box and made his way to the living room where Phil was sitting, “oh you're finally out mate! So let's see it!”.

He hummed and opened it showing the item inside, Phil laughed before clapping him on the shoulders. “Mate he'd be a fool not to accept” Confidence bubbled in the back of his mind, he was normally full of confidence but that was on the battlefield or in situations he knew how to navigate, this? This was new to him. “Hope you're right Phil”.

Chapter Text

The voices were getting on his nerves, always teasing him about Dream now, especially when he continued to go and make changes to the den as his mind continued to tell him it wasn't perfect, it needed to be perfect.

The voices though at the moment were teasing him about his routine, it wasn't any different from his usual routine of getting materials. The only difference was adding a few steps to it, as it is such, Wake up and eat something before mining for materials and if he just so happens to intercept and come across Dream during the day then it wasn't entirely his fault, the voices were just being dramatic.

He shook his head leaving his home and decided to go mining as Tommy had embraced his inner raccoon and started stealing his diamonds, Golden apples and for some reason sticks. When he got to the mines he made his way down to the depths killing skeletons, zombies and creepers on his way, a few hours in and a good bit of ores he could smell it.

The same scent that permeated Dream, the scent that made his instincts scream with want and need. The box in his inventory now felt heavy as if it were a weight on him pulling to the floor, giving in he followed the scent mining through the stone in the direction it came from, soon he broke through and into a small cavern where he could see Dream staring at a large clump of gold.

He could hear excited chuffing coming from the masked man making his eyes widen as he was slowly noticing the same traits he knew personally and intimately from his own being. Nah his mind was just playing tricks, he winced lightly as the voices started yelling at him for being an idiot, a common word being used was ‘Dumbnoblade’ which Rude! But it made him snort in amusement and it was probably a bit too loud as he noticed Dream slowly stand and turn to him.

“Hullo” he said trying to act normal though the voices were giving him a raging headache screaming about Dream being ‘Baby’ or calling him ‘BBG’, Dream took a step In Front of the gold making the voices coo as the masked man was being protective over the gold.

He raised a brow looking at the other more in amusement than anything really before he turned minging his way out of the cave letting Dream continue what he had been doing. He distantly heard an embarrassed Chuff as well as Dream saying “No! I'm not doing this” making him chuckle.

Wasn't long before he “ran into” Dream again, about a week? No idea. But Steve had been a bit antsy so he’d decided to take him on a walk around the prime path, the voices kept yelling “Steve Time!” Before one of them caught his attention “Homeless Teletubby alert!” He raised a brow and there a few feet In Front of him was Dream holding a potion bottle.

He watched Dream drink the potion before stepping up behind him, it took a comically long minute for Dream to take notice of him and turn around to stare at him. “Hullo” he said nodding, yup total coincidence he met him here, “hey Techno, what're doing here?” Dream said a bit nervously.

He stared at the mask on the others face for a bit before pointing behind him right at Steve, who was currently trying to eat a flower at the moment. Dream seemed a bit shocked at seeing Steve, “Steve wanted to go on a walk, and we ran into you, the local homeless teletubby getting drunk in public. Not a very good look for you Dream” he huffed a bit with a light chuckle and crossed his arms expectantly.

Dream scoffed “ok for one I'm not homeless and two I wasn't getting drunk for your information”, he raised a brow unconvinced before sniffing the air slightly. The scent was gone. He glared at the other before taking the bottle away and sniffed it, shock ran through him but he didn't let it show in his face as he took a sip of the contents.

He wanted to yell at Dream as he instantly knew what this was. During a season there were many potion combinations to help with the different species of netherborn going through the season and wanting to do it alone without issue. What he could smell and taste was that of the piglin variety, he knew this potion by memory as he had used it in Hypixel during his fights at the arena.

Without letting anything show on his face he gave the bottle back but he gave Dream a knowing look as if to say he knew what the other was, as the evidence seemed to be piling up. “Hm sure tasted like alcohol to me, maybe you're just a lightweight Dream” he said with a small shrug before taking Steve and walking off, he could hear the growl from Dream making him smirk a bit.

He cut Steve's walk short which the polar bear didn't seem to mind as he immediately collapsed into the snow once at that house, he slammed the door open causing Phil to screech in surprise and panic. “Whoa mate! What's happening, who do we need to kill, is it a government?” He snorted loudly and started pacing the living room.

After a bit Phil seemed to realize something and a fond smile graced his friend's features, “alright mate, all jokes aside what happened. It's Dream isn't it?” He huffed and finally threw himself onto the couch, the voices calling him ‘protective’ and ‘simpnoblade’ making him roll his eyes.

“Oh course it's Dream, it's always Dream nowadays!” He said throwing his hands up frustrated, “he's drinking the potions Phil. He's pushing his nature aside, being something he's not!” He looked up with a dejected look and Phil's eyes widened, “well Techno, mate, I think it's time you give him something he can't run away from. Don't you think so?”.

He froze and let the idea roll around his mind, the voices yelling in agreement wanting Dream in the den already, Dream would look good in their blankets though, sighing loudly he put his head in his hands. For the second time that day the courting gift on his person weighed him down like some large promise he would regret, but he knew he wouldn't.

Dream was the perfect mate. Strong, independent, smart, clever, quick in battle and good at strategy, even if a little manipulative. But would he accept that big question, he stayed silent before standing and looking at Phil with a smirk, “The voices are calling me a Simp, Phil and for once I think I agree. Let's go get my mate”.

Chapter Text

Technoblade left the house after his talk with Phil, ready to go give his courting gift to Dream but once he got to the Prime path he could smell that Dream had gone towards Bad and Skeppy's place. Which at first wouldn't be odd if not for Bad being in season as well, yes logically he knew the demon was with Skeppy but instinctually, his mind went towards wanting to protect his mate.

The voices were almost non-existent murmurs as if afraid of what was about to happen, he matched off towards Bad and Skeppy's about to rip the door off of it's hinges, there was talking behind it before it opened to reveal Dream frozen as the other stared at him.

He kept his calm till Bad came up beside Dream and his mind flared as if saying something probably happened between the two but he as quickly as possible shoved it away. Bad mumbled something and he watched Dream elbow Bad before he reached out and pulled Dream into his side.

“Uh Techno, you good?” Dream said but it was as if his throat were glued shut and just continued to stare at the Demon. “I'm sorry Tech, Dream just wanted to talk, nothing more I promise” Bad said pleadingly putting his hands up in surrender, still he said nothing and started a bit longer before Snorting loudly and turned pulling Dream with him.

He was quiet, in his own head listening to the voices as he dragged Dream away. ‘protective’, ‘Simp’, ‘Did Dream cheat?’, ‘Hah take the L green boi!’, ‘Technosimp calm yo self!’, ‘he's drowned in the Rizz guys!’. He hadn't noticed that they had made it into the nether and was making their way to the portal leading to his home.

He didn't hear Dream yelling till a stinging pain ran through his arm and hand making him let go of Dreams arm, he took a second to realize what had happened before he slowly turned and looked down seeing blood flow freely down his skin from the slashes, dripping onto the netherrack with a sizzle.

He looked up at Dream, he was pissed. His instincts were screaming at him that something must have happened to make his mate not want to go home with him, go to their den, his mate was shaking. What was scaring his mate, he took a step forward only to stop as Dream flinched away from him, his mate was scared of him, why would he be- he took a sniff and could smell his own scent suffocating the air around them.

Dream was shaking and it was his fault, he reached out again acknowledging the fearful clicking coming from the other, his expression changing to guilt before he grabbed Dreams neck putting his forehead against the others mask, an apology, one of deep meaning in Piglin culture. He pulled away huffing and made his way to the portal and back home, he needed to think and get himself together before he even thought of giving his gift.

Once home he went inside throwing his cape on the couch not caring to hang it up at the moment, chuffs and snorts left him as he mumbled to himself. Gripping his hair with his ears flat against his head, his tail flicking aggressively as the voices yelled, ‘Yoo Techno fucked up lol’, ‘So no blood?’, ‘he did bleed bitch!’, ‘He respects, he protects, he attacks’, ‘most importantly he overreacts!”, ‘lol true pog’.

“Quiet, quiet, shut up, SHUT UP!” He yelled, gritting his teeth so hard it started to hurt, gentle hands grabbed his own and softly as possible made him release his own hair and pulled his arms to his sides, tears pricked his widened eyes as he stared at Phil, finally seeing him and not the red.

“Mate I need you to calm down, having a bit of a panic won't do anyone any good” Phil said, it took a while to calm down, Phil eventually talked him into giving the gift the next day with the promise of going with him.

When the next day rolled around he was dressed and ready to leave after breakfast, when they finally left he felt antsy as if he couldn't sit still, he was actively ignoring chat and pretending they didn't exist or were saying anything at the moment. Once they arrived in the main community they slowly walked to the community house, Phil had to pull him back on track 4 times already as he tried to go back to his home and lock himself in his room or go to his den and just lay there for the rest of the season.

But his friend didn't allow that, once they arrived at the community house Phil walked in first then he followed he looked around then spotted Dream on the couch with his legs pulled against him, guilt welled back up inside of him as he wanted to apologize for what happened but he felt that Dream didn't want him close at the moment.

Phil finally followed his gaze and saw Dream, he was about to say something when Phil made his way to the couch, he just sighed and leaned against the wall off to the side already uncomfortable with everyone being here. He couldn't hear what his friend and mate were talking about, but he caught eyes with Phil and he didn't like how the other was so close to Dream, glaring a small growl left at him. He caught Dreams' eyes for a second before Phil’s wing came up and blocked his eyesight.

He went over to remove his friend but heard Phil's last sentence and quickly understood, “well I'll give you a heads up, don't panic” Phil said before the wing dropped, he pulled the box out quickly as Phil moved off the couch and Dream finally looked at him.

He felt panicked and hopeful, he could see Dream looking at the choker intently, “huh” he heard the other say looking between him and the box. He chuckled silently at how cute the other was being, “This is my courting gift Dream, do you accept it?” he said hoping that his voice didn't sound any different, ‘Desperate simp’, ‘Take it green boi!’, the voices yelled. He rolled his eyes at them.

“If you don't accept it it's fine, i'll try again next season” He said trying to sound nonchalant as if it were no big deal, though he felt that he'd probably give up as he knew when to take a hint about things.

He was about to pull the box away and close it when Dream shocked him and snatched it away, staring down at the gold chuffing in excitement as the choker seemed to gleam. He chuckled, staring at the other who was actually his mate now in more than words as Dream had just accepted his gift, meaning the courting actually begins now.

“Welcome to the family, mate!” Phil yelled cheerfully, making Dream's head shoot up in what was either shock or regret, didn't matter as he couldn't refuse now, but he didn't think Dream would go back on his decision.

Chapter Text

He didn't think he could get used to this, truthfully he didn't know if he wanted to. Everything was confusing him since he took the courting gift, Techno had followed him home and proceeded to trash every ingredient he had for his season potion.

He was pissed! And the excuse Techno gave? “I refuse to let my mate continue to harm himself” what a load of bullshit!

Now the next day he slowly crept out of his home quickly looking around making sure Techno wasn't in the vicinity, he quickly made his way to the prime path, he was in the Community house when he saw a glimpse of pink hair only to find that it was Niki.

Sighing he pulled her into the building when she walked past, “Ah! Dream? What the hell!” He quickly put a hand over her mouth and made a shushing noise, now that the potion was out of his system and he had nothing to make anymore he was starting to smell everyone's individual scents.

He dropped to the floor and crawled behind the couch and waved for Niki to follow, she looked at him skeptically and he growled lunging forward grabbing her ankle causing her to fall before dragging her behind the couch with him as if she were some kind of dead body.

“DREAM!” she yelled before he could cover her mouth again, it was as if the air drained of noise. It was only a few minutes of silence before he smelt a familiar scent making him keep his hand firmly over Niki’s mouth shaking his head, she only understood when the door opened and heavy boots hit the wood.

The air was thick and silent, then a Chuff rang out, ‘Come out’ is what his instincts translated it to. The chuffing continued when he didn't immediately respond, his mouth opened slightly till Niki's own hand clamped around his mouth looking at him wide eyed. “Dream I know you're here, I can smell you” a shiver ran up his spine in twisted excitement and he couldn't help it as a deep rumble resonated in his chest loud enough to be audible.

Niki looked at him before looking up, he didn't have time as the back of his hoodie was grabbed and he was lifted into the hair like a kitten would be their scruff, he scoffed with a scowl and curled in on himself with his arms crossed.

“Why'd you hide? Not looking to get any more ingredients are you?” Techno glaring at him asking him to purse his lips, “Niki come out, I know you're here too” he could hear Niki's breath hitch and come out from behind the couch with her hands up. “Ok in my defense before you go murdering me, I just wanted to go back to my bakery when this man, DREAM! Pulled me in here then dragged me behind the couch.” Niki frowned.

He whistled a bit and looked away, Techno chuckled then he was thrown over the man's shoulder with a hand on his lower back incredibly close to his ass! “WOAH HEY! Put me down!” He said kicking the air trying to get away, he knew the other wouldn't hurt him but he refused to be carried like a damn sack of potatoes through his own server! “Nah, you're my mate now Dream, I'm courting ya so I'm gonna carry ya”.

Niki looked surprised by this and the choker around his neck felt heavy but the sense of contentment and joy flowed through him making him snort slightly. He gripped Techno’s shoulder and gripped it hard enough that his claws broke through the enchantment again and dragged them up the others back making Techno wince and drop him.

Techno looked over his shoulder at him as he quickly grabbed Niki's wrist and crept back to the door, Techno sighed fondly and pulled the boar mask from his belt putting it on with a dangerous smirk. “I really hoped to get these marks from you during our mating Dream, I didn't expect to get them sooner. But I guess things can be sped up, but as this chase is happening sooner than expected” Techno said slowly and his body shivered in anticipation despite his refusal.

His eyes widened as the red glow of Techno's eyes lit up the holes on the mask, he didn't need an invitation for anything as he turned and bolted from the community house still pulling Niki with him. The sound of Techno's laugh resonated loudly, calm, monotone, and dangerous excitement.

“DREAM WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU GOTTEN ME INTO!” Niki yelled from beside him, and if he was honest he wished he'd never accepted this choker now that this was happening.

When they finally stopped to catch their breath they hid behind the cobblestone tower Tommy had built, he could see Niki typing away on her communicator before a message was sent out. He looked at his own and groaned as it read, “Everyone doesn't understand any circumstances approaching Dream or Techno at the moment. If I understand what's happening, it's a Hunt and Dream's dragged me into it!” He looked to the side and frowned “Really?” She just shrugged.

“When we get to a better spot you better explain!” she said glaring at him, he whined again dragging a hand down his face, “fine whatever! Let's just change spots, I can smell him coming” he grabbed her wrist again and they moved. They made it to Eret’s Castle this time and ended up walking into the throne room making direct eye contact with Eret as she was in her throne. “I read the message, frankly this is funny but if I were you guys I'd leave in the next 15 minutes, I have a feeling Techno’s patients won't last forever”.

He nodded and they fell to the floor tired from running, “ok spill, we have 15 minutes, enough time to explain” Niki said, punching him in the arm. He winced and nodded, “alright fine!”.

Chapter Text

Eret came to sit on the ground with them looking intrigued, he groaned and sat up crossing his legs, “look Niki you've been doing god knows what and same with Eret so I guess y'all aren't in the loop. But Techno has been acting weird since uh, the beginning of the month mhm” he said nodding as if that would convince them he wasn't hiding the reason for this oddity.

“You mean it's because the nether has gone into mating season, yes it's no surprise Dream, Sapnap practically dragged both Karl and Quackity out of my bakery last week all because Punz had brushed against Karl's shoulder.” Niki said. He bit his lip and wrung his hands together, “well ok fair enough that you know, though I wished you didn't. But Techno has been acting weird and yesterday he gave me a courting gift and I uh, I accidentally and unintentionally accepted it” he said as he unconsciously touched the choker.

“Uh huh, ok Dream whatever you say. But from what I've heard from George, you practically froze when you saw that gift. So tell me Dream what hybrid are you exactly” Eret said grinning at him, Niki looked confused then realization hit her and looked right at him. “I have no idea what you're talking about Eret” he said calmly but the others didn't look convinced, he squirmed under their looks and finally jumped up agitated as he was tingly all over and his instincts were practically yelling at him to continue running, continue the chase, continue to be hunted.

He could see Eret wanted to say more but a full body shiver hit him making him whine loudly, “Dream you ok?” Niki asked, getting up and grabbing his shoulders, he leant into her grabbing his stomach as the tingling got worse and was making him feel weird. He couldn't speak at the moment and another whine left him.

“Ah he's sinking to his instincts finally” His heart skipped a beat at hearing that deep monotone voice behind him. “Techno I don't know what you're doing exactly but stop, you're acting weird!” Niki said, pulling him closer. That seemed to be a mistake as when Techno saw the action a growl fell from the piglins lips.

“Niki let go of Dream, Techno won't hurt him” Eret said, he started panting but Niki held him tighter. “No! I won't leave him, he's practically terrified!” He purred at her concern and leant into her more which made Techno pissed. “Niki! He'll be fine I promise you, and at the moment he is anything but scared, he's reveling in this” Eret says but he couldn't see the others expression.

“Eret’s right Niki, At the moment Dream himself might not even be on the forefront right now. His instincts have been trying to take over since the hunt has started, and how perfectly he's filled all the requirements without even knowing he was, is amazing” Techno said, he could hear the other piglin, his mate, coming up behind them and he took a deep breath before pushing Niki into Eret and took off running.

“The hunt continues” he heard Techno say as he ran from the castle, he may not be fully there but his body was his own and he refused to let it take that away from him. He ran from the castle and to the nether hoping the smell of the sulfur would drown out his own scent.

He ran to the nearest sounder, the piglins there stayed clear of him probably realizing what was happening. He was just there long enough for him to spread his scent around just in case, when he left he ran and ran as far as he could to get away from everything. When he stopped he collapsed in a cave looking alcove, he was tired. And since time seemed to speed up in the nether he guessed he'd been on the run for quite a few hours now.

His vision blurred and he panted taking deep breaths, his body felt tingly as it moved on to pleasure instead of pain. He moved deeper into the cave till he tumbled face first into a pit, he expected pain but he clutched the soft materials around him. They had cushioned his fall, but made his mask fall off his head.

Looking around it took an embarrassingly long minute for him to come to the realization that he was in a den, he was in someone's den. “Fuck fuck shit!” He said scrambling to grab his mask but his body locked up and tail spasmed as pleasure ran through him, he inwardly cursed. The season would normally incapacitate him at the end just like it was now but it wouldn't normally be as tense or early like this, unless it was because of Techno's presence or because he was forced to stop taking the daily potions.

He collapsed back into the nest hoping the occupants wouldn't be back anytime soon. He tossed the mask somewhere not caring at the moment, he just didn't want to deal with it at the time, he squeezed his legs shut as he felt hot down there.

“What the fuck! This is some shit timing!” He yelled and bit into the blankets of the nest as he panted, a heavy flush settled on his face and eyes were glowing a deep emerald. He didn't want to tear the nest up with his claws as it seemed whoever had built it took great care to make it perfect, and it was, his instincts were praising the nest and care the cave had in the decorations.

He had to admit, whoever this was made for was one lucky Piglin especially with how their mate seemed to take into consideration to pick only the softest of materials for the nest. He didn't know when it was but he had started crying, the blanket falling from his mouth and full on sobs left him, wracking his body harshly as he wrapped his arms around himself.

He couldn't have this, he wasn't allowed this, he shouldn't have this. Weakness was wrong, he can't give them a weakness to use against him, he would regret it! But he did want this, all of this and he knew he did.

He didn't really regret taking the gift, he didn't regret Techno throwing his potions away. He didn't regret any of it as this whole time was the most he had ever felt cared for even if Techno had stalked him for more than half of the season.

He cried out as a wave of pleasure hit him making his body spasm, his instincts screaming at him now, ‘say it! Say it!’, he hiccuped and bit his lip before crying again. “I want this, I want all of this, Techno!” He cried wetly not hearing the boots at the entrance of the den, “your dramatic as ever huh, took you long enough Nerd” his eyes widened and shot up to see Techno standing there.

There was no triumph, no smugness in the others expression, just fondness and exasperation. Techno came closer and his ears pinned to his head as he hissed making Techno pause then crouch down slowly. “Dream I respect that this is your nest but I can't hold you if I'm not allowed inside” Techno said carefully, his ears flicking at that and shook his head, “no this isn't mine, this isn't ours, I didn't mean to be here. Do you have a den, Techno?” He could see Techno chuckle.

“No Dream, because you're in my den, your den, our den. This is all ours, this nest? I'll mate you here, conceive runts here, you'll birth our runts here. It's our’s Dream, only if you let me inside. If you don't then as I said before, I always have next year and I will drag you here if it comes to that, now can I come inside or not.” His eyes widened again and another wave of pleasure ran through him and he nodded with a chuff. In an instant he was engulfed by Techno's large form pulling them down to the nest, not doing anything, just holding him.

Chapter Text

The morning after Dream accepted his gift, Techno was practically vibrating from joy. More than once Phil had to tell him to calm down while laughing of course, cause his friend can't help finding humor in his situation.

He couldn't wait to head out and meet up with Dreams at his place, so that being the plan he practically inhaled his breakfast and was still chewing food he rushed about getting dressed and chugged the orange juice Phil handed to him after slipping his shoes on and making his way out of the house. “BE SAFE, USE PROTECTION!” Phil yelled and started laughing when he squealed, glaring at his friend.

He walked as quickly as possible to where Dream lived, he knew he had a house but the voices decided that Dream was still homeless until he had his Mate in his bed. ‘L’, ‘Homeless Teletubby’, ‘Green Boi bouta to get Railed!’, ‘Not in my Christian Minecraft Server!’, ‘Wtf is Minecraft?’

He rolled his eyes at what the voices were saying. Once he arrived at Dreams home he knocked and waited a few but no one answered, he frowned and sniffed the air taking note that Dreams scent was old here meaning he's already left. He huffed and made his way to the main SMP subtly sniffing the air as he went just so he could find where Dream was.

‘wow you really are a stalker’, ‘stalker pog!’, ‘Damn Techno gotta sniff kink’, ‘LOL’, ‘Sniffnoblade!’

“Chat shut up” he grumbled, stopping outside the Community house where he could smell the newest scent which meant Dream was in there. He could also tell his mate was in there by the yell that seemingly came from probably Niki, as well as a hard thump like someone got tripped.

He opened the door after a minute, closing it behind him and moving to the middle of the room he sniffed the air and looked right at the couch letting out a Chuff. He continued chuffing for a few minutes before sighing “Dream I know you're here, I can smell you” he said and the voices instantly started yelling ‘HE DOES HAVE A KINK!’, ‘SMELLNOBLADE SMELLNOBLADE!’, ‘you heard him folks-’, ‘he just wanna take a big whiff!”, ‘JERRY AGAIN THAT WAS MY LINE!’.

With all the yelling in his head he almost missed what sounded like a purr coming from behind the couch, the voices quieted down as if knowing they were about to see Dream. He silently walked over and before his mate could react he grabbed him by the back of his hoodie as if he were scuffing a runt, he held him up as Dream scowled but it looked to be more of a pout to him, and it was adorable.

“Why'd you hide? Not looking to get any more ingredients are you?” he said skeptically glaring at his mate, “Niki come out, I know your here too” he called out, hearing her breath hitch before she slowly came out from behind the couch with her hands up in surrender. “Ok in my defense before you go murdering me, I just wanted to go back to my bakery when this man, DREAM! Pulled me in here then dragged me behind the couch.” he glanced at her to see that she was frowning.

He glanced at his mate grinning at hearing how much of a menace he was to Niki and started to laugh when Dream looked away whistling as if he was innocent in all of this, he rolled his eyes after a second and tossed Dream over his shoulder, his hand rest in on Dreams lower back. The voices seemed to have wanted to be acknowledged and started to yell, ‘It's the ass!’, ‘DAMN BOI HE THICK!’, ‘thicc with 2 C's!’, ‘I touched the butt’, bro he got cake’, ‘the hell you all mean, he's a fuckin flabby patty bitch!’, ‘STFU JERRY YOU UNCULTURED SWINE!’. Ok he really needed to understand why they hated Jerry so much but that was for another time.

“WOAH HEY! Put me down!” Dream yelled kicking the air and trying to get away, he was amused, "Nah, you're my mate now Dream, I'm courting ya so I'm gonna carry ya”. He ignored Niki only to feel a pain in his back cup to his shoulder causing him to wince and drop Dream. He looked over his shoulder making sure Dream hadn't been hurt and relief washed over him as Dream was fine but then he filled with anger seeing Dream had grabbed Niki's wrist and looked ready to run.

‘chase chase’, ‘the hunts begun!’, ‘Yooo hunt lol’, ‘omg did he just mark Techno’, ‘will there be sex next chapter?’, ‘wtf? This isn't a book!’, ‘yea stfu Jerry!’. He ignored them, sighing fondly at his mate before pulling his mask off his belt and putting it on with a dangerous smirk, “I really hoped to get these marks from you during our mating Dream, I didn't expect to get them sooner. But I guess things can be sped up, but as this chase is happening sooner than expected” he said as slowly as he could, turning to his mate.

He suspected his eyes were glowing as Dreams' own flashed brightly for a second before bolting out the door still dragging Niki along with him. Techno laughed loudly, calmly, and with excitement.

The hunt itself was uneventful as he mainly walked letting Dream and Niki panic, he's done this more than enough times to know how his prey will react and, but this time his prey was a friend, someone he'd never hurt. And his Mate, his beautiful mate who annoyed him as he continued to deny his instincts, well that was till he arrived at Eret’s castle.

When he walked in he saw a beautifully unnerving sight, Dream flushed from what he could see of the others neck and ears, but leaning against Niki much to his distaste. “Ah he's sinking to his instincts finally” he said and stared at Dream watching his mate freeze before being pulled closer to Niki, “Techno I don't know what you're doing exactly but stop, you're acting weird!” Niki demanded to try to sound brave but he could tell that it was false, he growled at her.

“Niki let go of Dream, Techno won't hurt him” Eret said, his focus was once again pulled towards Dream who was now panting and being held closer by Niki, “No! I won't leave him, he's practically terrified!” she said, and acknowledgment filled him as he knew she cared for his mate but he still didn't want her touching what was his.

Though what pissed him off only seconds later was the fact Dream, his mate! Started purring all because Niki cared for him, he wanted Dream to purr for him. To let him hold him! “Niki! He'll be fine I promise you, and at the moment he is anything but scared, he's reveling in this” Eret said but he couldn't see the others expression as his focus was still on Dream and Niki.

“Eret’s right Niki, At the moment Dream himself might not even be on the forefront right now. His instincts have been trying to take over since the hunt has started, and how perfectly he's filled all the requirements without even knowing he was, is amazing” he said as he started walking towards them wanting his mate back, wanting to rip Dream from Niki’s arms and carry him to their nest as thats what supposed to happen at the end of a hunt.

When he was in arms reach of Dream, his mate shoved Niki into Eret and despite probably looking delirious under the mask he took off running causing him to chuckle, “The hunt continues”. He continued to walk slowly as he knew Dream would need to rest sooner or later if his theory on the season rushing its effects since the hunt started early, were correct.

When he made his way to the nether finally he followed the scent of his mate to a nearby sounder and chuckled as his mate was smart, trying to cover his scent with the sulfur off the nether then confuse him by mixing it into the sounder camp. He continued walking for a while away from the sounder, following Dream scent, it had now been a day and a half of him hunting for Dream.

Soon he recognized the area and hope filled him as he sped up his pace making his way to the den he had made only to hear crying inside. He stood there Listening to Dream sob and whine, probably writhing in pleasure from the effects of the season. He heard Dream hiccup and started talking to himself although he was speaking through tears “I want this, I want all of this, Techno!”. It broke him to hear Dream sound so upset, so hurt, chuffing softly to himself he stepped into the entrance of the den “your dramatic as ever huh, took you long enough Nerd” he said and stared at Dream who was breathtakingly beautiful, his emerald eyes shining brightly and his white hair a contrast to the ever there red of the netherrack. The choker went well with Dreams coloring and he was pretty pleased with himself.

He came up to the side of the nest crouching as Dream sat up staring at him, before his ears pinned and hissed at him in a warning gesture. “Dream I respect that this is your nest but I can't hold you if I'm not allowed inside” he said desperately wanting to just enter and hold Dream close. Dream looked confused but also out of it, “no this isn't mine, this isn't ours, I didn't mean to be here. Do you have a den, Techno?” he chuckled at his mates stupidity in this situation, “No Dream, because you're in my den, your den, our den. This is all ours, this nest? I'll mate you here, conceive runts here, you'll birth our runts here. It's our’s, Dream, only if you let me inside. If you don't then as I said before, I always have next year and I will drag you here if it comes to that, now can I come inside or not.” he said fondly.

Dream's eyes widened before buckling down in a loudly high pitched whine, it was only seconds before Dream chuffed and nodded accepting him into the nest. He didn't waste time and practically tackled him into the soft blankets that he had picked out, nuzzling Dream's head snorting as he wrapped his arms around the smaller Piglin holding him close by the waist.

Chapter Text

Dream didn't know when he had fallen asleep but he woke up disoriented and sat up, his hair all over the place. Chuffed looking around the den before looking down seeing Techno’s cape covering him. He lifted the fabric before immediately putting it back down as he was naked, like entirely naked, his face felt like it was burning, he lifted the cape again and took notice of the damp spot where his ass was and the sticky wet feeling on his legs.

Getting up he pulled the cape tighter around himself and looked around till he saw a lava pool built into the cave wall, he sighed gratefully at the sight. Stepping out of the nest he paused, his instincts screaming at him that it wasn't safe and he needed to stay in the nest till Techno returned. He shook his head rolling his eyes and looked back to the nest right at the damp spot, it was larger than he thought.

He took a deep breath and whipped his head back around letting the cape drop from around his shoulders and sat on the edge of the lava pool spreading his legs to look down between his legs making sure nothing had happened between them, and was relieved to only find himself wet. Another reason he had been abandoned was because he didn't have a specific gendered groin, piglins were able to carry children despite their gender but to have both was an abomination.

As he was looking he didn't notice Techno had arrived at the entrance, he heard a snort and his head whipped up catching eyes with Techno. He squealed, throwing himself into the lava pool moving to the very back to get as far from the other as possible, he brought his legs up to his chest holding them there covering himself as if the other could see through the lava. He fucked down till only his hair and eyes were shown over the lava, he stayed stock still when Techno came into view carrying a basket of food and the body of a juvenile hoglin.

His brain recognized that as Techno provided for him as it was in their nature to take care of their mates by doing things traditionally, meaning Techno had gone to the sounder and explained he had an in heat mate and needed food. His ears pinned and closed his eyes as his face burned once more at the thought of people knowing, “you gonna cook alive in there or you want food, must be hungry” Techno said making him open his eyes and see the other smirking glancing down at his body still covered by the lava.

He scoffed and lifted his hand out flipping Techno off who just laughed at the action, “alright finish up while I make us food” Techno said turning his back to him, he rolled his eyes and while staying under the lava he cleaned between his legs getting the sticky wetness off of him. Once he was done he purred, getting Techno's attention, he watched Techno stand and grab the cape off the ground and hold it up for him with a snort while looking away.

He appreciated the gesture and quickly stepped out letting Techno wrap him in the cape, he held it closed and sat down as Techno handed him one of the hoglin legs. He stared at it for a minute glancing up at Techno who was eating one of the other legs, he sniffed it then took a hesitant bite. Heat and flavor exploded in his mouth, making his eyes widen. “I thought you only knew how to cook potatoes, looks like you're not completely incompetent after all!” He said scarfing down the meat off the leg ignoring Techno's offended noise.

He just looked at the other and blinked “more?” He said tilting his head, his tail swaying lightly. Techno started at him and slowly a flush formed on the others cheeks making him chuckle. “Here” Techno grumbled, handing him another leg watching as he scarfed the second one down too, Techno then handed him a pouch of water letting him drink some of it.

When he was done he wanted to go back to the nest as he was tired again but when he stood up he immediately sat back down, burning red from embarrassment. He could once again feel the wetness between his thighs as it slid down his leg and he was horrified at the thought of what the cape possibly looked like under him.

“Dream?” He could hear confusion and concern in Techno's voice and he shook his head rapidly “I'm fine” he squeaked. Normally he would care if he stained his sheets as he was the one having to clean them, and it wasn't normally this bad, on top of him being allowed to wake around naked in his own home however he liked without issue.

But now he was in a den, in the nether, one that he was sharing with Techno till this all passed and having been stripped naked, staining the blankets in the nest and now possibly staining Techno’s cape! Wait, now that he thought about it “why the hell was I naked when I woke up!” He said glaring at Techno who instantly looked away “oh what pretty lava” he heard the other mumble but he growled grabbing Techno by the ear.

“Answer me bastard!” He said loudly only letting go when Techno swatted his hand away with a frown, “Fine, you fell asleep while cuddling and you kinda got all wet and everything not long after. I didn't think you really wanted to wake up in wet clothes so I stripped you, the clothes are at my cabin getting washed. I didn't see anything if that's what you're worried about, I'd rather not look at my mate in such a vulnerable state if he hasn't invited my gaze to him himself” Techno said looking right at him.

He gripped the cape tighter and nodded, biting his lip, “thank you” he mumbled, "don't thank me, it's my job to care for you. Now why are you being so weird right now” he pursed his lips and shrugged “I might have, kinda, stained your cape with the uh. Liquid” he said practically whispering the last part scare that he'd piss Techno off or something but all he got was a snort before he was suddenly picked up.

Techno's hand right under his ass, touching the damp spot making him more embarrassed. “Techno! That's disgusting!” He yelled only to get growled at and put down back on the edge of the lava pool, “Don't you dare, Say that it's disgusting! It's part of our biology, it's in our nature Dream! Your instincts say you need this so your body will go through with it. If your stomach says it's hungry then you eat, if your tongue says it's thirsty then you drink, if your brain says that you need to produce mating slick then your body will follow through no questions asked” he sat there shocked and Just silently nodded holding the cape closer, “ok”.

Chapter Text

Dream didn't know how it got to this but here he was back in the lava pool with Techno having joined him this time. Well that's a lie cause he did know how, he had gone to stand after Techno blew up at him only for pleasure to wrack through his body, he had watched Techno's eyes trail down to his now exposed thigh and could see slick running down it. When he tried moving away in shame his knees buckled under him causing Techno to have to catch him, “alright careful” Techno had mumbled fondly as if he hadn't just yelled at Dream.

“Hm, you should probably wash up again. I'll help you” Techno had said innocently enough, and he had agreed before he realized what the other had truly said, but he didn't have to react when he had the cape pulled off of him and was sat down in the pool by Techno himself! And now they are here.

He made sure to be sitting away from Techno as far as possible but the pool was only so big so it was a bit hard to get far away, he heard Techno sigh “calm down, I'm not gonna bite you. Yet” Techno said smirking at him, he growled and ducked under the lava again leaving only his eyes and hair showing making Techno laugh.

“Look, come here I'll help you wash up then you can go back to the nest after I take that soiled blanket off of course” Techno said pulling an arm out from under the lava holding his hand out for him to take. He bit his lips unsure, but the urge to go back to the nest and lay on the soft blankets was hard to ignore.

He hesitated for a second longer before grabbing Techno’s hand, eyes widening as he was gently pulled from the lava and into Techno’s lap. His mate brought his hand up to his mouth and kissed it while staring him in the eyes, unwavering, he could feel his heart beat quicken at that.

When he felt his mate's other hand on his back he tensed up only for Techno to lean forward and kiss his neck “let me worship you” Techno whispered into his ear causing him to shiver and whine. He once again hesitated before nodding, giving in to Techno's wants.

With permission the other's hand moved down cupping some lava in his hand before slowly soaking Dream’s skin with it, then moving on to his hair next. He was content, eventually leaning forward letting his head rest on Techno’s shoulder, he didn't know what came over him but he began to feel fuzzy and the tingling pleasure was slowly coming back.

He leaned into Techno's neck letting his tongue lick a long swipe over his mate's skin, he felt Techno rumble in what seemed to be pride as he continued licking his neck. The hands that had been getting lava over him stopped and rested on his lower back and he could feel one of them grabbing the base of his tail while the other way touching the fluffy he had at the end of it. He shivered as the base of his tail was caressed by sharp nails making zaps of pleasure shoot up his spine making him whine.

“Techno” he panted, he felt antsy as if he had way too much energy but not enough at the same time, he felt hazy and fuzzy. He leaned his forehead against Techno’s neck growling loudly scraping his nails over his mates shoulders.

“Shh I got you, don't worry about it. Just give in Dream, don't be embarrassed, I'll handle everything” Techno’s deep monotone voice said into his ear nipping it lightly, he growled again before surging forward sinking his fangs into Techno’s neck trying to ground himself as his mouth filled with the blood of his mate.

His mate who froze before laughing at his actions, he growled again sinking his fangs in further before his hair was grabbed and he was pried off Techno’s neck and pulled back, he panted as blood fell down the corners of his mouth. Eyes glowing brightly and vision hazy, “your beautiful Dream absolutely Beautiful. Can I worship you?” Techno said the last part as if he were afraid of Dream's answer.

He let a chuff leave him before pulling out of Techno's grasp and grabbed his mate's face “Worship me, touch me, make me feel wanted” he whispered against Techno's lips before kissing him.

He gasped pulling away as he was grabbed under his thighs and held tightly as Techno stood up carrying him out of the bath and to the next. Techno kicked the soiled blanket out of the nest and to the side before laying him on the one that was underneath, he immediately covered himself with his hands and tail blushing furiously as Techno in all his naked unashamed glory started down at him as if inspecting him.

Cold doubt settled in his mind as he squirmed under the gaze, he sat up a bit and scooted back bringing his knees to his chest again as a low painful whine left him. Techno seemed to snap out of whatever trance he was in and snort before kneeling in the nest just waiting there, he lifted his head and looked at Techno confused.

Slowly he crawled over to his mate only to squeak as he was grabbed and pinned to the blanket below. He blinked looking up at shining ruby red eyes trying to see disgust, doubt, or regret in Techno's expression but he saw none of that, what he saw was complete adoration, fondness, care and love.

How could Techno love him? How could this man, this warrior he invited to his server love him after only knowing him a short while, how could Techno see him as if he was a jewel to be treasured and cared for, as if his health meant something other than being the admin of the server.

He didn't know that tears were falling till Techno's hand came up and wiped them away, “it's ok, we don't have to” Techno mumbled reassuringly but he could hear the pain in the other's voice, Techno was pulling away when he wrapped his arms around Techno's neck and legs around his waist pulling him closer so they were now face to face, “I need you” he said desperately against Techno's lips. His mate still looked unsure, “please” he pleaded, Techno paused before kissing him.

Chapter Text

After a bit Dream fell asleep so he just laid there petting his mates bone white hair, it was fluffy and curled in places. If made the voices yell loudly about how adorable Dream was, which he had to agree with, his mate was adorable, he was cute, and he was hot when he's determined.

Dream snored lightly and moved in closer to him, he tightened his hold around Dream causing him to start purring unconsciously. He huffed a laugh and let out a deep rumble in reply, they continued to lay there for a while till his pants leg started to feel wet?

Hee lightly placed Dream down and pulled the blanket off of them to see a large damp spot underneath, “holy shit” he mumbled to himself as a blush rushed over his face.

‘Slick time!’, ‘Dreams ass go brr!’, ‘Jerry this is the first time I agree with you!’, ‘Same bro!!!’, ‘Green boi Slicked up lol’, ‘this is like Omegaverse guys’, ‘ok Jerry I take back what I said, get out’, ‘SHUN JERRY’, ‘SHUN! SHUN!’.

The voices were very unhelpful, he pinched the bridge of his nose with a sigh. He tossed the blanket away before picking Dream up and swapping the soiled blanket with that one then proceeded to undress his mate, once Dream was naked he laid him back down and put his cape over him. It was to cover his mate's body and his scent so that no one will come in the den while he's gone.

He grabbed up Dream’s clothes and grabbed his axe before heading out and to the portal leading to his cabin, once on the other side he relished in the cold of the snow before making his way to the house. Phil was outside feeding the animals when he noticed him, “Hey mate! So how'd the hunt go?” Phil was giving him a knowing look, he avoided Phil's gaze as he cleared his throat.

“It uh, went well, he's asleep now but I just came back to do some laundry” he said gesturing to the clothes in his arms and his pants leg. It took all of a second for Phil to know what happened and start laughing much to his expense, “Dream’s going to kill you once he finds out you told me” he nodded solemnly as he figured that'd be the case, “yes but hey anything for him to be on top right?” He said smirking as Phil laughed more and punched his shoulder.

They made their way inside where Techno tossed the clothes in the bath to soak before changing his pants and tossing them in, he had quite a while before Dream would wake up if he's lucky, so he'd be able to clean them himself without having to ask Phil. Dream would hate to know that Phil touched his slick soiled clothes more than Techno telling the man what happened, even if indirectly.

Before he left his room he tossed in some nether wart and glowstone into the bath to help get the stains out, making his way downstairs he smelt tea. Once he reached the living room he frowned as both Wilbur and Tommy were there, as well as a few others he hadn't expected to see just yet, such as Eret, Niki, Sapnap, George, and some others on the server he didn't care to learn the names of.

Sapnap was a bigger surprise to see at the moment, as he thought the blaze would be in his own den in the nether fucking or getting fucked by his mates. It was normal for blazes to have more than one mate, unseen for them to have only one but not uncommon, he wasn't surprised that Bad or Ponk wasn't there as well as Skeppy and Sam.

He only knew their names and mates because he liked to keep track of who was with who just in case something were to happen. Bad must be avoiding him like the plague right now seeing how everything went down a few days ago, and because Demons had it worse during the season than others. Ponk must be held up somewhere with Sam doing god knows what as he never really understood Magma cubes and their mating rituals.

“Ok what's with the intervention?” He said finally with his arms crossed, Wilbur disturbed him as he was holding a fish bowl with a salmon in it and there was a fox hybrid standing beside him. “And uh what's with the new additions?” He said wearily pointing to the fox and fish, “oh I am so glad you asked Technoblade, brother of mine! This is Sally the Salmon who is in-fact my wife!-” ok was Wilbur smoking crimson shrooms or was he just going insane?

“-And this bundle of joy here! My son Fundy, I gave birth to him, you know!” Ok that was a whole other thing to unpack but just like the mystery of Jerry hate, he refused to unpack it. He was definitely weirded out as his supposed Nephew was a fully grown man, “uh alright then Wilbur, why is he a man and not a child?” Fundy went to speak but Wilbur was faster “he has his mother's Genes! He's a grower, aren't you Hun!” The fox looked panicked but nodded.

‘def a hostage situation’, ‘stockholm syndrome?’, ‘who’s end though?’, ‘Def the fox’s, Wilbur is a little coocoo lol’, ‘Crazy crime boi!’, ‘Gotta love him!’.

He'd have to agree with the voices here, definitely hostage situation but he didn't care enough to get involved, “alright so why are all of you here then?” He said, already reaching for his axe subtly, “Well big man! I'm glad you asked, a manly man like myself wanted to know if you're finished railing Dream yet, I want to hang out with my new brother-in-law” Tommy said standing up causing Phil to choke on his tea “TOMMY!” Phil yelled, only making the teenager shrug with a grin.

“Ok good to know why you're here, now anyone else wants to elaborate before I start chopping off heads” he said, Niki and Eret raised their hands “uh, is Dream alright? He seemed out of it when we saw him last, as you know” he hummed and nodded “he's fine, instinct Drunk and asleep but fine” he said leaning against the wall beside him. “What do you mean by instinct drunk?” Sapnap said, finally glaring at him, “you said something like that before too, I also had a feeling he wasn't human” Eret said, mumbling the last part.

Techno pursed his lips debating how much he can tell them before it crosses the line on his mates privacy, and how much before Dream decides to castrate him as penance for it. Sighing deeply he looked at all of them, “so you're here because you're all supposedly concerned about Dream? Well stop that, he's none of your concern anymore. He's my mate, my responsibility. Sapnap, worry about your own mates, stop worrying about mine, Niki and Eret. I'm glad you're worried about him but stop, he will get in contact when he's fully lucid.” he growled, running a hand over his face.

“If he contacts any of you just ignore it, he isn't right minded at the moment, he's drowned in instincts right now, any outside stimulus aside from my presence will make this whole thing go off track, so forgive me if I'm protective over what you say about him.” He said sounding tired but also pissed as he didn't want to deal with this right now. He just wanted their clothes to finish soaking and him able to go back to his sleeping mate.

He knew Dream wasn't as defenseless as his instincts told him he was but he couldn't help it. “On the subject of what I meant about his instincts, that's for him to answer, not me. It's not my place to speak for him or to answer for him, he's his own person though not of full mind right now but he's still himself” he said matter of factly. The room was silent so he took that as a good sign and turned his way back to his room, he checked the clothes and the stain was almost gone but he refused to stay there any longer with these interlopers in his home.

He grabbed some of his own clothes as well as a few shirts for Dream In case he wanted to actually wear clothes, though he personally had no issue with Dream staying naked around their Den.
‘PervertedBlade’, ‘you like naked Dream lol’, ‘how dare they ask about Dream!’, ‘Not theirs’, ‘not theirs’, ‘hes ours’, ‘ours!’.

The voices didn't like what the people downstairs had to say it seemed, but he was done with that, he put the clothes in his inventory and left the room going back downstairs ignoring how they tried to ask more questions and just turned to them and Phil, “Phil I'll leave the washing to you, I apologize for that. And for you all, don't even try following me. I will cut you down before you even step foot out of this house” he growled lowly and Sapnap just gave a nod as if speaking for everyone else.

Chapter Text

When he re-entered the nether he let out a breath as he was away from everyone and heading back to his mate. On the way back to the den he stopped at the closest sounder getting some food and had to stop to kill a hoglin as when Dream woke up he would probably be hungry, starving more like it, his brain provided.

Carrying the hoglin which was just a juvenile, he made his way back to the den and perked up when he smelt Dream’s scent and instantly knew the other was awake. When he arrived at the entrance to the den he was surprised by the the sight of his mate sitting on the edge of the lava pool looking between his legs, he knew why Dream was checking, it was to make sure Techno hadn't taken advantage of the other when he wasn't Lucid enough to consent.

But his instincts relished in the sight of Dreams naked from, so much so that an involuntary snort left him causing Dream to whip his head around and look at him with wide mortified eyes before letting out a high-pitched squeal and throw himself into the lava. It was comical really as he'd already seen the other naked but it was also adorable from how Dream reacted.

He made his way into the den tossing the Hoglin onto the ground and put the basket aside, glancing at Dream he saw that he was as far away as possible and submerged up to his nose as his eyes and top of his head was left out of the lava just to watch his every move.

He grabbed the hoglin and took out a dagger before gutting it and putting the innards aside to cook for later as they were a good source of nutrition for a Piglin in heat, but he doubted Dream would eat them raw or at all if he was lucid. He put the body parts over a fire he started and knew they would be done in only a few minutes from how hot the nether is and from the natural heat resistant coating they hoglin had on their skin being skinned away it would cook with no issues.

He glanced at Dream once more and could see him looking away with a blush as his ears were pinned back, he must be embarrassed as he realized what Techno was doing. “You gonna cook alive in there or you want food, must be hungry” he said with a smirk as his eyes glanced down at Dream's lava-covered body making the other scoff when he opened his eyes to look at him.

He laughed when Dreams hand came up from the lava flipping him off, “alright finish up while I make us food” he said turning back to the cooking Hoglin, making it a point to not look at Dream even if his mate was chuffing unconsciously, he guessed Dream was cleaning the slick off himself as when he was finished he heard Dream purring making him stand and grab his cape off the ground and hold it up for him, he let out a snort and looked away as he didn't think Dream would want him looking at his naked body again. Not this soon anyways.

When Dream finally stepped out he wrapped him in the cape waiting as Dream held it closed before he stepped away, when they were both sat around the fire he handed Dream one of the legs before grabbing one of his own and started to eat. It didn't take long before he heard a purr from Dream “I thought you only knew how to cook potatoes, looks like you're not completely incompetent after all!” he looked up with a look and let out a noise of mock offense as Dream was scarfing the leg down before looking at him again and blanked “more?”.

‘Mate wants more, give him more!’, ‘aw little mate is hungry, feed him’, ‘he's adorable, he's tilting his head like a runt wanting gold!’, ‘hmm gold, needs more gold', ‘needs decorated’.

The image of Dream covered in gold and spread out in their nest filled his mind making him blush as he gave another leg to Dream watching him eat that one too. He handed over a water pouch before Dream gave it back to him looking tired, his mate went to stand only to immediately throw himself back down, Dream's face was burning. “Dream?” He was confused by the reaction, concerned if something had happened and he didn't notice.

“I'm fine” the other squeaked, not looking at him In the slightest which just made him more concerned, the concern stayed till Dream looked up at him looking pissed and glaring at him “why the hell was I naked when I woke up!” his mate demanded. Ok he expected that sooner or later, he looked away pursing his lips “oh what pretty lava” he mumbled only for his ear to be grabbed by the other.

‘hah! You're getting bullied by a homeless tele tubby’, ‘tale the L pigman’, ‘E’, ‘ohh you made the baby mad’, ‘the pissbaby is mad! Run for your lives!’, ‘Blood for the blood god?’, ‘nah blood for the pissed off mate’, ‘true, so true’. Not helping guys! He thought before he was brought back out of his head by Dream.

“Answer me bastard!” Dream yelled, he swatted the hand away from his ear with a frown, “Fine, you fell asleep while cuddling and you kinda got all wet and everything not long after. I didn't think you really wanted to wake up in wet clothes so I stripped you, the clothes are at my cabin getting washed. I didn't see anything if that's what you're worried about, I'd rather not look at my mate in such a vulnerable state if he hasn't invited my gaze to him himself” he said looking right at Dream.

He watched as the other gripped the cape tighter around himself biting his lip with a nod “thank you” Dream mumbled but he shook his head "don't thank me, it's my job to care for you. Now why are you being so weird right now” he said concerned. Dream shrugged not looking him in the face “I might have, kinda, stained your cape with the uh. Liquid”.

He knew what Dream meant, during the short time he was out of the lava bath he had already soaked his cape in slick, he wasn't mad it not in the slightest, but he was hurt that Dream was acting as if Techno was going to kill him where he sat just because of something natural and out of his control. Sighing he stood up before picking up Dream, his hand right under his mate's ass feeling that he did in fact stain the cape with slick, but his instincts were relishing in the knowledge that his mate had left his most intimate scent on something of his. Even if involuntary.

His thoughts of joy were stopped as Dream got embarrassed and started yelling “Techno! That's disgusting!”. He felt as if his brain was short circuited, disgusting? Nothing about this was disgusting, his mate wasn't disgusting in the slightest! He let a growl leave him as he put Dream as gently as he possibly could down on the edge of the lava pool.

He tried to keep himself calm as he started pacing a bit before he stopped “Don't you dare, Say that it's disgusting! It's part of our biology, it's in our nature Dream! Your instincts say you need this so your body I'll go through with it. If your stomach says it's hungry then you eat, if your tongue says it's thirsty then you drink, if your brain says that you need to produce mating slick then your body will follow through no questions asked” he growled out as if it were the simplest thing in the word!

He watched Dream continue to sit there shocked before looking down, pulling the cape closer with a nod. “ok” Dream's voice sounded small, which wasn't anything like how his mate should sound and it hurt.

Chapter Text

When he finally calmed down he noticed Dream trying to stand and go back to the nest, he watched as a shiver wracked Dream's body before something caught his eyes, trailing downward he saw that the cape had opened just enough to show off Dreams inner thighs and the sight of slick slowly dripping down them.

He saw shame flash over Dream's face, making him frown as the other tried to move away from him, as if Dream thought he was still disgusting, or he was disgusted by the action even after all he had just said. But Dream's knees almost gave out from under him from all the stimulus that must be wracking his body. “Alright, careful!” he mumbled, catching him before he hit the ground, “Hm, you should probably wash up again. I'll help you” he said watching Dream’s reaction only to his shock to see the other nod.

But he didn't let the other take it back as he pulled the cape off the smaller form and put him into the lava once more, he then stripped himself and stepped in, his tail swaying as he watched Dream moved away to a far corner trying to get far away again, much to his amusement.

They sat there for a bit before he sighed “calm down, I'm not gonna bite you. Yet” he said with a smirk at the end looking right at Dream who just growled at him and ducked into the lava again to hide himself, the adorable action made him laugh as it was childish but so like Dream to do.

“Look, come here I'll help you wash up then you can go back to the nest after I take that soiled blanket off of course” he said putting an arm out for Dream to take, trying to entice him with the thought of going back to the nest just for him to actually show himself. He watched Dream continue to sit there staring at him, thinking it over but he could see the desperation for the next in the others emerald eyes, as well as hesitation.

After a bit though the smaller grabbed his hand and he pulled him close and onto his lap, looking into Dream’s shocked expression as he pulled the hand still in his grasp to his lips kissing it with an unwavering expression. His other hand rested on Dream’s lower back feeling him tense up but he leaned in kissing his neck and whispered into his ear
“Let me worship you”, he heard his mate whine and hesitated once more before nodding.

With that he moved his hand down cupping some of the lava before pouring it down Dream's back and continuing to do it to the others hair as well, till he felt it was clean. During that he could feel Dream lean into him and rest his head on his shoulder, he was so focused on what he was doing that when he felt a tongue on his neck he let a rumble form in his chest as Dream continued to lick his neck.

He paused what he was doing and just rested his hands on Dream's lower back letting them trail down and play with the other's tail, it was something only mates could do as it was a very sensitive and intimate part of themselves. It was also that part that would be cut off if one were to ever hurt another's mate. He dragged his claws over the base of Dream's tail while the other played with the fluff on the end, he could hear Dream whine and feel him squirm as he continued to drag his claws over the sensitive base.

Dream started to squirm more and pant, “techno” he heard his name called as Dream leaned into him more growling loudly, he felt Dream claw his back but it didn't really hurt as he was semi numbed from the lava. “Shh I got you, don't worry about it. Just give in Dream, don't be embarrassed, I'll handle everything” he said into the other's ear nipping at the shell of it lightly, but he didn't have time to react as another growl left Dream and he felt his mate sink his fangs into his neck.

He sat there frozen knowing Dream had no idea what he had done, he shouldn't have bitten him, not now. ‘Its started’, ‘fucky fuck time Bois!’, ‘JERRY SHIT UP!’, ‘wrong wrong wrong wrong’, ‘not the time, it's not right’, ‘you can't’, ‘don't do it’. The voices were yelling at him but all he could do was start laughing at how ridiculous this all was.

He snapped out of it as Dream but down harder, he grabbed the others hair prying him off as gently as possible. And God if the sight didn't do things to him, Dreams eyes were glowing a beautiful emerald green half lidded and clouded by instinct, his mouth slightly open and his blood coating the other’s white teeth and dripping out the corners of his mouth. A heavy blush on Dreams face looking so damn beautiful, god the things he wished he could do to him right now, but he needed permission first.

“Your beautiful Dream, absolutely Beautiful. Can I worship you?” he said, but he could hear the fear and doubt in his voice as he said the last part. He didn't want to scare his mate away, not when he'd finally gotten him this relaxed even if it was by instinct.

Dream chuffed reassuringly and pulled away before grabbing his face leaning in close and looking at him intently, “Worship me, touch me, make me feel wanted”, is all he heard before Dream kissed him. And in a split second pulled away gasping as Techno grabbed him under the thighs making sure he didn't drop Dream as he stood up stepping out of the lava and to the nest where he kicked the soiled blanket away to be washed later.

He laid Dream down watching the other immediately covered himself with his hands and tail, a blush covering his face. He didn't like that he didn't like it one bit, his mate shouldn't feel the need to hide himself from him. Did he do something wrong? Is he forcing all of this without realizing, is his mate uncomfortable, he needs to be comfortable, is the nest wrong? His instincts were yelling a mile a minute at him trying to figure out what was wrong as he sat there frozen just staring at Dream.

That is till he noticed Dream sitting up and backing away covering himself even more with his knees to his chest, and he knew why now. He could smell the sadness in him, could see the doubt in Dream’s eyes, probably thinking he was about to reject him. A low pained whine left Dream making him snort as he kneeled before the other and just sat there waiting for Dream to come to him.

When he finally looked up he was confused, and eventually he slowly started crawling over to him. When Dream was in arms reach he grabbed him pinning him to the blankets below, and he watched Dream blink and try to find something that wasn't there in his expression, only to look even more confused as he couldn't find what he was looking for which seemed to cause him to start crying.

He smiled fondly and wiped the tears away, “it's ok, we don't have to” he mumbled trying to sound reassuring, he didn't want to force this but he knew it would hurt to have to wait for a year just to re-court Dream. As he was pulling away though he was pulled back Dream wrapping his arms around his neck and Legs around his waist practically pinning him in place. They were so close, “I need you” Dream said desperately against his lips lightly kissing him but he was unsure and he guessed it showed as Dream started to plead, “please” he heard, It sounded pained and desperate which absolutely broke him, he paused for a second longer before giving in and kissing him back.

Chapter Text

Dream felt overwhelmed, Techno had pulled away making him panic. A terrified squeal left him only to be hushed by Techno when the cape was brought into view and put down beside them. He was still panicked but allowed himself to be turned on his stomach on top of the cape, his tail still between his legs hiding himself from his mate.

Techno chuffed and gently grabbed his hips, lifting them up making sure his knees were keeping himself up before gently moving his tail away, he shivered as he could feel Techno's eyes on him. He felt vulnerable, open, as if he were prey and the hunter was about to kill him, but it was true wasn't it.

He was prey, that's what the hunt was for, and Techno was the hunter and now he was about to be eaten. Not in the whole ripping him limb for limb way but the railing him into the floor till he forgot his own name kind of way, he felt a purr leave him as he shoved his face into the fur of the cape, his ears burning as Techno finally moved putting his hands on his hips caressing them and dragging his claws over his skin.

He gasped arching back, his vision unfocused as he felt Techno lick up his back to his neck. “Can I bite you?” He shivered as the hot breath tickled his neck making his hair stand on end, “but i- we” he trailed off almost breathless as the hands moved to his thighs and Techno kissing his neck sucking on his skin. “You've already marked me Dream” Techno said, making him confused till he licked over his teeth tasting blood again and he almost blew a fuse as he remembered what happened. “I- um, ok” he said the last part squeakily, embarrassed by his actions.

Techno chuckled and kissed his neck once more, “not yet, it's not right” heard him mumble but he couldn't question as he felt something prodding at his ass, “TECHNO!” he yelled, hitting him with his tail. He gasped once more feeling Techno chuckled, he closed his eyes, mouth opened in a long silent moan as he gripped the cape.

He could feel what he guessed was Techno’s tongue moving inside of him, he blushed as he could feel slick dripping out of him and could hear Techno moan as if he liked how it tasted which the bastard probably did! He bit into the cape as his fingers and toes flexed, now used to this kind of sensation.

“Tech please” he gasped, his tail wrapping around Techno's wrist, he could hear Techno practically drinking up the slick he was producing before he pulled away. Dream looked behind him and saw Techno pulling away with a string of slick mixed saliva pulled away with him, “You taste good” he heard Techno mumble probably more to himself than it was meant for Dream.

He was flipped back onto his back looking up at the other and gripped the cape pulling it to himself covering his face, as it was red and ears pinned back flat against his head. His tail had unconsciously let go of Techno's wrist and moved to wrap around the other's own tail, it was an intimate gesture making him embarrassed, “sorry” he said forcing his tail to release only for Techno’s to wrap around his tighter.

“Don't apologize, this is how we are. Piglins like affection from their mates, especially if they get to see their make In absolute pleasure” Techno said moving between his legs. Tears pricked his eyes, he was a bit scared, not of Techno but of looking and sounding vulnerable, he hated showing weakness. But hasn't he shown Techno how vulnerable he was already, hasn't he been showing it this whole time?

His eyes widened looking down seeing Techno's dick pressed against him, Dream didn't really have a dick of his own, which played in part to the whole no real gender identification for his body. He felt himself stretching as Techno pushed into him with a grunt, he whined gripping the cape tighter as it felt uncomfortable but pleasant. He couldn't really describe it, he squirmed as Techno grabbed his hips to help him push in, he felt constipated but he knew it wasn't true, he felt full, stretched, pain, pleasure.

He squealed as Techno bottomed out with a huff, Techno let go of his hips and looked at him with his own flush on his face, he watched Techno caress his leg lifting it up and kiss his inner thigh looking right in the eyes as he did. “I love you Dream” Techno said, kissing his thigh again, sucking on the skin leaving a dark purple bruise in its place when he pulled away, he did this quite a few times as he let Dream adjust to the feeling of being full.

Techno did this with his other leg too before glancing at him mid kiss to his leg as if asking if he were ready to continue, he nodded biting his lip, letting Techno put his legs over his shoulders and carefully pride the cape from his grasp weaving their hands together locking them before kissing him. He was confused till his eyes widened with a gasp, Techno took that chance to shove his tongue into his mouth.

Techno had pulled out just enough to be able to thrust back into him causing his reaction, he moaned loudly at the feel of Techno's tongue in his mouth and the feel of Techno thrusting into him slowly and deliberately. His eyes fluttered shut as tears streaked down his cheeks, overwhelmed, he could practically smell Techno's love for him from how close they were. It was hard to pick up anything other than Techno’s natural scent if he wasn't concentrating enough, and at the moment it was a bit hard to concentrate on it.

Techno wasn't rough, didn't hurt him, didn't go too fast. And he was thankful for that as he didn't think he could handle it if the other had been unnecessarily cruel to him their first time together, he moaned each time Techno pushed back into him as he had found his prostate and it sent blissful pleasure up his spine.

He gasped for air as Techno pulled away only for him to immediately latch onto his neck marking it with Deep colored bruises. He shivered as heat pooled in his gut, heat that had been building for the past few minutes, his legs shook as he tried to speak “Tech- Techno please” he gasped whining as Techno started to speed up. His thighs quivered as he bit his lip trying to hold back the feeling of needing to piss, “Techno please!” He called out desperate, what he was desperate for he didn't know but he was.

“Dream can i-” he heard Techno say and he nodded turning his head to the side giving Techno more access. He screamed as his mate but into his skin, fangs breaking and forcing blood to flow, from the wound that was quickly bruising. He sputtered gasping as he couldn't hold it anymore, his face flushed ashamed as he could feel between his legs getting wet, but Techno didn't stop thrusting till he felt hot liquid filling him up and something locking them together.

His bliss was short lived as he panicked trying to pull away only for Techno to hold him still. “Dream, Dream calm down!” his eyes wouldn't focus as he started crying, from shame, panic, not knowing what was happening. He was pulled into another kiss calming him.

When Techno deemed him calm enough he pulled away and leaned back looking down at him then at where they were connected, “you look good like this” he heard him say making him scoff and kick at him only for his leg to be grabbed and Techno to kiss his foot.

“Gross” he grumbled before remembering what had happened, making him ashamed again, his ears pinned back and tears pricked his eyes again. “Hey what's wrong?” his mate asked, concerned trying to figure out what was happening looking them over as if he was hurt. He shook his head and hiccuped, “I'm sorry, I- I just. I couldn't, I’m sorry!” he sobbed, he grunted as Techno grabbed him moving so they were sitting up with him in his lap.

“Why are you sorry? I should be sorry, did you not want this, did I read everything wrong, I can't take the mark away but I can stay away from you if that's what-” he blinked tears still going down his face and looked at Techno’s pained expression a look of doubt in the others eyes. “No! You didn't do anything wrong! I did! I needed to- I couldn't, I couldn't hold it. I'm sorry, I made us gross, I'm gross, I should've held it, should've- before all of this I-” he took a deep breath trying to calm down.

“Huh? You're not gross Dream, what are you talking about?” Techno was now confused instead of panicked, “I- um, I kinda couldn't hold it. I had to use the bathroom and” he said looking down, playing with his fingers as his face burnt not wanting to see Techno, who just started laughing at him.

“Fuck that's what this is about! Dream, love, you didn't- oh god, ok listen you didn't fuckin piss yourself Dream. You had an orgasm, that's what happens when you mate or have sex with someone, it's normal.” Techno said laughing still as he was even more ashamed “oh” he puffed his cheeks out and hit the other in the arm “Stop laughing jackass! Sorry I didn't know what it was! I've never done something like this before!” He yelled growling.

Techno continued to laugh for a bit longer before calming down and pulling Dream close, he could feel Techno start licking his hair “what are you a damn cat!” He said trying to get away only to be held tighter. “It's not good to get in the lava right now so I can't wash you like I need to right away, not till we can separate that is. So this is the next best thing” Techno mumbled to him, making him roll his eyes.

“Ok you damn feline” he grumbled letting himself slump into the other as his tail swished around brushing against Techno's every so often.

He woke up once more covered by Techno's cape and he could see the other was dressed and sitting by the fire cooking, chuffing he groaned, shoving his face into the blankets. “You seem more docile not that your mated Dream” he lifted his head enough to scowl at the other and put his hands up flipping him off, “Fuck off” he whined trying to get comfortable again but the sticky feeling between his legs and the lack of Techno was making that hard to do.

Eventually he growled getting up even if he did stumble a bit but he ignored that as he climbed into the lava needing to wash off. Techno came and sat on the edge dragging nails down his back making him purr from the feeling of it, he slumped further into the lava just soaking in the affection. “We have a few more days here before we go back to the cabin unless you want to leave today?” Techno said getting his attention.

Huh? “The cabin?” He said tilting his head confused, “yes Dream, our home” Techno said as if the simplest explanation, “I have a home Techno” the other didn't even glance at him. “Ye and it's with me now, once we can get your things and bring them over” Techno said getting up and going back to the fire, he grumbled but there was no real heat behind it was he blushed hearing Techno call the cabin Dream's home too. Their Home.

He eventually did get out of the bath and was handed a shirt, it was big on him so he guessed it was Techno’s. They are then went back into the nest to cuddle, which quickly turned into them fucking again or quite a few times.

They actually did leave the nether the next day, Dream wasn't happy as he was practically covered in bite marks and had nothing but his mask and Techno's shirts to wear! He was led to a portal and once on the other side he was met with Freezing cold, Techno had been against him wearing his mask again but he didn't care, Techno’s argument was that it stunted his instincts which was true and was the whole point of him having it in the first place.

Though his mate did practically threaten him, told him he had to keep the mask off when they were home and could only wear it if they had company aside from Phil or went to the main Server. It was that or watch Techno destroy it right in front of him, so he was a bit limited on his options and clearly chose the lesser evil much to Techno's anger.

The snow crunched under his feet and he shivered before he was picked up, “this is why you don't need that damn mask” he heard Techno grumbled, as Dream wasn't a walking talking heater like Techno was when he had the mask on since it was supposed to make him practically human to a point. He snickered and nipped Techno's ear. “Don't pout, don't worry once I'm pregnant you'll never see this damned thing again.” He watched Techno's ears flick as the man's eyes dilated a bit “aww you'd like that wouldn't you, me without my mask. Walking around in your shirts, pregnant and hybrid traits are completely visible. I'll maybe even let you decorate me with gold” he snickered as the hold on him grew tighter before he was pulled into a rough kiss.

He burst out laughing when Techno pulled away, “you drive a hard bargain nerd” he heard the other mumble, and he could feel techno’s chest rumble in pride. They stopped on the doorstep of the cabin and opened the door heading inside.

Much to his mortification Wilbur, Tommy, Niki, Eret and a few others were in the living room and he was only wearing Techno's shirt, he heard Techno growl and set him down before wrapping the cape around him. “Why are you nerds here again!” Techno said growling but it was more in annoyance than anger.

“Well I wanted Dream to recognize my marriage to Sally and greet my wonderful son!” Wilbur said happily, though he doubted anyone told him but the salmon in the fish bowl was floating on its side on top of the water, not moving. He glanced between Wilbur, the fish and the redheaded fox stranger who was shaking his head desperately before pointing to the fish then Wilbur and continued to shake his head.

Ah ok, so they shouldn't mention it, he nodded and the fox looked to calm down. “Can we pause this so I'm not buttass naked in only a shirt and cape please” he said pinching the bridge of his nose and went upstairs without an answer, he could feel Techno following him.

He was directed to Techno's room where he tossed the cape onto the bed and saw his clothes clean and dry on a chair in the corner so he went and pulled the large shirt off, having to take his mask off as it was in the way. He felt hands on his and fangs nipping his mark making him gasp and almost go limp in Techno's hold but the feeling of hands traveling down between his thighs and the sound of arguing downstairs broke him out of whatever trance was coming over him.

He slapped the hands away and pulled his clothes on then his mask, “so we have to go back down there to those nerds?” Techno grumbled and he just ignored the man and went back downstairs hearing Techno huff as he followed.

Wilbur was yelling at Sam who looked annoyed, The fox looked exasperated, Tommy looked amused and the others just ignored what was happening. “Ok what the hell is going on?” He yelled over everyone making everyone shut up and quiet down, “HE STARTED IT!” Wilbur suddenly yelled pointing at Sam while holding the fishbowl close to him.

Phil came out of the kitchen then at hearing it had finally gone quiet, “I think I'll take this one” the man said and gently pulled Wilbur off the chair and out of the room heading to Phil’s half of the cabin. “Alright since that was handled, why are you all here?”

Chapter Text

It took a while of talking but he ended up with Eret and Niki beside him and Tommy wrapped around his head biting the side of his skull. He had his arms crossed and his eye was twitching under the mask but it wasn't as bad as Techno who looked to be barely holding himself back from snatching Dream away from the three. Techno who was practically being pinned to the couch by Phil’s wing, the other's tail twitching as his foot tapped rhythmically on the floor.

“But Dream please for my son's sake please revive Sally!” Oh yea he was supposed to be listening to Wilbur whining about the dead Salmon now wasn't he? He looked back down at the man who had his hands clasped together looking up at him with crocodile tears and puppy dog eyes. He sighed for what felt the hundredth time “no wilbur I can't and won't revive a fish, go to the ocean or river for all I care, you'll find more.” He heard Tommy say something about “more fish in the sea” being literal now and it made him chuckle.

He wasn't prepared for his hands to get grabbed and he was dragged down to the floor into Wilbur's lap, Tommy faceplanting into the couch cushion as Eret and Niki complained. “Come on, please Dream, I'll make it worth your while!” he flinched back a bit embarrassed and a bit disgusted, a dangerous growl came from Techno and he was suddenly ripped from Wilbur's grasp making him giggle as he was held tightly in Techno's arms who glared down at his brother.

The look wasn't really anger, it was more of a pout and jealousy which made it funnier. “He's taken, completely taken, Wilbur. Go find your own dick somewhere else as I don't think he wants your's” Phil said speaking up finally and they all nodded while Wilbur pouted, “DAD!” Wilbur yelled blushing looking at Phil as if the man knew something they all didn't which was probably true, “hm oh yea, forget what I said. No I think I heard 3 Hybrids scheming on how to get you in their nest next season” Phil said again making Wilbur blush harder and stammer.

“I uh- Sally- um river salmon- I think Imma plan a visit to Mom next season, mhm yep uh I have to uh go” Wilbur said as he quickly got up grabbing Fundy by the arm and rushing out of the cabin and they could hear him screaming as he left but it wasn't at Fundy which was good.

Soon Dream was put back on his feet after making sure he wasn't hurt of course. “Can we put this off another day, I'm tired” he said leaning into Techno, Niki and Eret nodded and left while Tommy stayed as he was going to stay in the nest with Phil that night.

He sighed, finally pulling the mask off which Techno quickly tossed across the room out of his reach, he rolled his eyes as his mate pushed himself into his neck sniffing him and kissing the skin lightly making him laugh. “Food then Den” he heard Techno mumble which he agreed with, “No fucking, I want sleep Techno” he said as he pulled away from the other and heard the man groan as they went into the kitchen making something quick then headed to the den.

He stripped off his clothes and pulled on a large sweater Techno handed him, it stopped at the middle of his thighs but covered what it needed so he took that as a win win. He crawled into bed curling up against Techno's shirtless form purring as he was pulled close.

He woke up warm, opening his eyes he could see he was still curled into Techno's side, he smiled pushing his head into Techno's chest a bit more, his tail wrapping around Techno's hand that was on his back pulling him closer. He snorted as he felt Techno grumble about being awake too early.

It took a while till they were making their way down the stairs and to breakfast, he had genuinely forgot Tommy was there so when he heard a high pitched gasp from the teen sitting at the table he froze eyes widening, “DREAM? IS THAT YOU?” he flinched from the yelling and hissed at the boy, his ears back as he moved behind Techno.

“Tommy mate, you're scaring him, stop that” Phil said and he watched as Phil hit Tommy in the head, “But Phil he's so- so pretty!” he flinched again but this time at the compliment from Tommy, he felt his face flush and felt himself being pulled into Techno's arms and into his lap as his mate sat down. “He is pretty, and he's mine so back off pipsqueak” Techno said, chuckling and nuzzling the side of his neck.

“He needs more gold Tech” Phil half heartedly chided putting plates on the table, Techno hummed making him shiver “after breakfast” he heard his mate mumble. When they were done, Dream having been fed by Techno much to his embarrassment and Tommy’s joy as he now had teasing material, they went to the living room where Phil who had finished eating first was arranging blankets and pillows around on the floor as a makeshift nest.

He was set inside of it by Techno who then went upstairs, “So! You're my brother in law now, Dream!” He jumped hearing Tommy extremely loudly in his ear, he turned his head with a small scowl as the kid looked a bit apologetic, only a bit though. Shrugging he scooted away a bit “I mean I guess, if you can even call this whole thing marriage in the first place- don't get me wrong I'm extremely happy now with Techno even if it's only been what? 2 days since the season ended”.

Tommy stared at him for a long while as Phil went in and out of the room bringing brushes, oils, jewels and accessories. Techno was still rummaging around upstairs.

“You have no idea do you?” The boy suddenly said with amusement, he hesitantly shook his head as he was now confused on what the boy meant. “This-” Tommy pointed to the makeshift nest and at Phil then to the stairs, “is us welcoming you into the family, Phil's the one that brought it up so we are technically ‘initiating’ you into the family so to speak. Don't worry it happened for Techno, Wilbur and I took when Phil adopted us” he stared wide eyed at Tommy and felt his tail thumping wildly on the blankets, damn traitor.

Whilst Tommy was now laughing at him for flipping his own tail off Techno came back downstairs with a basket filled with Gold and Jewels putting it into the Nest then leaving and coming back with a different brush than Phil had.

Once everyone was settled and comfortable he was pulled into Techno's lap as his mate brushed his hair and tail, Tommy was getting the same kind of treatment from Phil who was brushing oil through the kids wings making chirps leave the boy. A rumbling was felt in Techno's chest as he himself purred.

Chapter Text

It's been a total of a month now since the season ended and he is almost constantly covered in bites and hickeys now. He was getting out of the shower and stood in front of a mirror looking at himself, his tail flicking behind him as he looked at his stomach.

Since around the third night of being back at the cabin Techno has been making sure he eat at every single meal time, and Dream didn't think it was doing him any good as he was starting to gain some weight around his stomach and hips, his face was also a bit chubbier but none of it was that noticeable as it was only a tiny amount. He only noticed because it was his body, he had also been feeling more tired lately but he brushed it off as the cold got to him.

He poked his stomach not liking how it was getting squishy with a tiny bump of fat, frowning he left the bathroom tail whipping around angrily as he pulled on one of Techno's shirts and some pants before slipping his mask on relishing in the fact that it made him look normal and thin, and not gaining weight, he went downstairs as Techno had told him earlier that lunch was being made but despite feeling hungry by just the smell of it he also felt a bit sick.

He went to the living room and laid on the couch sighing as he got comfortable with a pillow under his stomach, Tommy who was sitting across from him gave him a look “are you sick Big D?” He immediately heard the stove being shut off before Techno appeared around the corner chuffing at him concerned as he kneeled down looking him over.

“I'm fine Tommy, look what you did. You got him all riled up!” He said dramatically but he was smiling, he knew he didn't have to wear the mask around Tommy but it made him more comfortable and made Techno angry at just the sight of it sometimes. He rolled his eyes and sat up moving his mask up a bit to kiss Techno calming the other down, when he laid back down he moved to get comfortable again as that perfect spot was gone.

He purred as he found another spot curling up as he was comfortable again, he could feel their eyes on him but he didn't care as he was too comfortable again to think about caring. After a bit Techno finally went to back to cooking and it didn't take long for the food to be done, Techno snorted and called out that the food was ready just as Phil came back from his morning flight, he growled not wanting to get up when Techno came back into the living room.

He didn't feel like eating, one because he'll just gain more weight and he was a bit self conscious about that. And two because the smell of it made him a bit sick to the stomach, he growled and hissed as Techno tried getting him up and it only took Techno practically prying him off the couch and physically carrying him and placing him in the chair for him to get up.

Techno was a bit amused but it lessened by the sight of him not even eating, “eat” he heard the other growl in Piglin but he didn't even touch it as he got up leaving the cabin. He barely made it off the porch before he ripped his mask off and vomited into the snow, he wiped his mouth panting as he put the mask back on.

He should probably go visit Bad since the last time they met up he kinda got dragged away by his unruly and over protective mate. When he got to the nether he relished in the warmth feeling more energized than he was in the cold. He stopped by the closest sounder and took his mask off and clipped it to his belt he felt off and out of place as he punched in on himself a bit trying to make the weight unnoticeable.

He sniffed the air smelling something amazing, he followed it to a small group of Piglin's sitting around some roasted nether wart and crimson vines over a fire. He slowly crept closer only for one of them to notice him and chuff to the others motioning towards him with their head.

He flinched and a whine left him and he looked away shamefully, he didn't mean to intrude but the smell was amazing. The noticeable female of the group took one look at him, mainly on his stomach making him wrap his arms around his waist instinctively, she nodded in acknowledgement before bringing over some of the food pushing it into his hands before going back to the group.

He snorted in confusion and nodded as thanks before he left the sounder as he was getting more and more looks as if they knew something he didn't, which was probably true but he didn't really know that, he pulled his mask on. When he finally got out of the nether he was cold again as he made his way to Bad and Skeppy's place, he knocked on the door and waited for Bad to answer as he nibbled on the food.

It was making his nausea go away which he was thankful for, when the door finally opened he was let inside and up to Bad’s room. He sat on the Bed trilling as it was warm and comfortable, Bad once again sat across from him in a desk chair looking at him with a raised brow of confusion only it didn't stay that way for long as Bad’s eyes widened and brows slowly rose looking him up and down as if looking for something.

“Oh this is- huh I knew it'd take a bit but I didn't think it would take this long- interesting” he heard Bad mumble as the other looked at him in almost astonishment. He huffed, rolling his eyes, “what are you muttering about?” He said, narrowing his eyes at his friend even if he couldn't see it, “oh uh nothing, Dream will you mind taking your mask off please” he hesitated. “It's alright I already know what you are, this really wouldn't have happened if you weren't a hybrid Dream”, he paused and sat there before finally pulling the mask off.

He heard Bad coo at him with a smile, “awe your adorable Dream!” He squirmed at the compliment as his face lit up, he felt his stomach pudge as he sat and moved to cover it. Bad’s brows furrowed at the action “what's wrong, are you hurting? Uncomfortable? Do I need to get you some nether tea?” He blinked again and shook his head.

“Uh now it's- um, I've just been getting a bit fat since Techno and I mated. You know how he is, over protective and very caring especially when it comes to me being fed if you couldn't tell” he said laughing nervously poking at his stomach and pinching his thighs and face. Bad when he looked back up, looked mortified and almost pissed off.

“Dream that's- your not-” Bad kept cutting himself off, he hummed nodding and put the mask back on and got up, “I think I need to go, Techno is probably on a rampage trying to find me since I didn't tell him where I was going” he mumbled sadly and left the house.

Chapter Text

When he got back to the cabin he was exhausted, the cold wasn't helping either. Once inside he threw his mask somewhere and made his way to the den but it didn't feel safe, it wasn't true warmth. But he forced himself to lay there and go to sleep only to wake up sometimes later with Techno holding him tightly, he crooned nuzzling Techno's neck as a hand carded through his hair.

It took a second to notice he was naked, he sometimes slept that way and he didn't normally care if Techno stripped him when he was asleep but right now? He cared a lot.

He squealed rapidly sitting up and grabbing a loose blanket from the side, covering himself with it trying to hide his body and weight from his mate, fear wracked his body as he backed away, eyes wide as he wrapped arms over his stomach. Techno sat up looking hurt before annoyance filled the expression, “Dream what's wrong did something happen?” He shook his head “why'd you undress me?” Techno blinked confused “what? I normally do this, is it an issue, cause it's usually not Dream” he nodded scoffing and looked away.

“Of course it's an issue! Why would you undress me without asking me first! I don't want you seeing me and my-” he cut himself off putting a hand over his mouth as he hadn't meant to say that last part. “Don't want me seeing what Dream” techno’s voice became cold and steady as he moved closer to him, he backed away more trying to get out of reach only for the end of the blanket to get grabbed in a violent game of tug-o-war it seems.

“No-nothing! Techno let go, let go of the blanket!” He said, sounding panicked, his tail moving to wrap around his leg tightly. Techno didn't let go, he continued trying to pull the blanket off of him, “it's not nothing, so tell me why my mate doesn't want me to look at his body let alone touch it”. He whined hearing the anger in Techno's tone as tears pricked his eyes, “I- I don't, Techno-” he stumbled over his words till he was finally able to speak, “I don't want you to look at how I've let myself go ok! I've gotten fat and I know I should've been on top of myself about making sure I stayed fit but I was just so happy with all of this and I'm sorry. I don't want you touching or looking at how disgusting I am because I don't want you to leave me or hate me” he said crying.

His grip on the blanket loosening and he yelped as it was ripped out of his grasp and off of him only to be thrown across the room in pure anger, he shivered as he curled in on himself some more trying to hide but Techno just sneered glaring at him. “Techno please, I'm sorry- I, I’ll fix it. I promise I'll fix it! I'll lose the weight and I'll look better, I'll stop eating if that's what it takes!” His breathing came out stuttered as he panicked, tears falling faster as he tried not to outright sob.

“Please please, don't hate me, don't leave me. I promise I'll lose the weight, I'll even leave till it's gone if I have to-” he wasn't able to finish his pleading as his ankle was grabbed and he was yanked back towards Techno, his legs ending up spread and unable to close as they were on either side of Techno's waist. Looking up he noticed Techno's eyes were glowing brightly, pupils dilated to the point of being slits, he felt Techno's clawed hands drag up his legs and grip the new eight on his thighs and hips.

His face was aflame with shame and disgust with himself, but his attention was pulled back as he felt the skin of his inner thigh being pierced by fangs. He shivered and whined as he watched Techno kiss and lick the wound looking right at him from the corner of his eyes. He crooned again as Techno moved his hands to touch his stomach caressing it with an unmistakable gentleness, he watched as the bit of fat he had gained squished between Techno's fingers and he frowned tears once again pricking his eyes “I said I'll get rid of it, I promise” he mumbled almost whispering but a loud growl left his mate as the other kissed his stomach moving lower and lower.

He was shocked as they were suddenly flipped, Techno was under him as he was made to kneel over the other's face much to his horror. “Techno, no! Let go, I don't want to hurt you!” He said trying to get the hands off him from their spot on his hips but his fight left him when a hot tongue licked a stripe up his cunt.

He gasped putting his hands into Techno's hair as he was pushed down further, the feel of his mate's tongue on his folds before moving into him was distracting. So distracting that he didn't even notice the hands gripping him harder and pushing him down further trying to make him rest all his weight onto Techno and use his damn face as a fucking chair, and his tongue as a cunt warmer.

He heard an annoyed growl come from the other before he felt his mate sucking on his nub causing white pleasure to flash through his body and his legs to give out slamming him down fully on Techno's tongue. The hands groped the skin of his hips pinching and teasing it as he was getting tongue fucked, he gripped Techno's hair harder as he gasped and moaned. “Techno fuck! I hate you so much” he panted crying while his eyes fluttered cumming hard on his mate's tongue, but it didn't stop as he felt teeth nipping at his nub.

He was shaking and shivering trying to breathe, his hands let go of the others hair only to his own, tears left him as he cried harder practically screaming in frustration as he came again rocking himself against Techno's face trying to ride out the orgasm.

When he was finally let go he was moved to lay down, he huffed trying to catch his breath as he felt Techno silently and gently pushed himself into him. He whined as he was over stimulated, “no techno please I'm tired let's just sleep” but Techno just started thrusting into him slowly and painfully as he felt his mate's cock hit his prostate making his back arch high off the bed.

“You were worried I'd leave you, I'm showing you no matter how you look I'll still love you, I'll still fuck you.” He hiccuped, shaking his head pushing his palms against his eyes in frustration. “I'm not leaving you Dream, you're beautiful. And our child will be just as beautiful as you” he only registered what Techno said when he felt cum fill him and think again.

Breathing heavily he spoke up, “what, Techno I'm not pregnant” he was confused as he didn't know what his mate was talking about. “Really? Because I assure you that what I smell says otherwise” he looked down watching as Techno pushed his face into Dream's stomach sniffing and looking back up with a pleased expression and a deep possessive rumble.

“No no, I'm not pregnant, I'm just getting fat. If I was pregnant then I would have known and if I was to get pregnant it would have been during mating season and-” he slowly started up but Techno continued pushing his face into his stomach kissing the skin with a goofy grin. He thought back over the past month, he had started acting strange after a few days when the season ended. And the weight had started packing on not long after and had slowly been getting more annoying than anything.

It's been a month, an entire month of all of this- “holy shit” he mumbled before putting a hand on his face “Fuck!” He whined, his other hand ending up in Techno's hair. He petted his mate's hair and pouted looking down with a glare “I blame you, now I want a bath since you took it as your mission to take away my ability to walk just now”. Techno pulled away with a smirk, “and I don't regret it, especially if it meant I was able to worship you in such a way”. He scoffed and hit the other as he was picked up and carried to the bathroom, “damn pervert!” He yelled giggling.

Chapter Text

Techno was excited, he hadn't noticed it at first but it was only when the voices started dropping hints and Phil's crows began to leave gold and other trinkets for Dream did he finally realize what had happened.

‘Ya you knocked him up’, ‘Haha pervertnoblade excited he fucked his mate well’, ‘JERRY I SWEAR TO GOD STFU!’, ‘WHERE’S THE PRIEST WHEN YOU NEED HIM!’, 'PRIEST PRIME EXERCISE JERRY!’, ‘Wait guys no!’, ‘anyways so! Baby DreamnoBlade! Pog!’.

He rolled his eyes at the voices and looked back at Dream who was sleeping comfortably next to him, his mate had slowly been putting on weight and he couldn't be happier as it meant he was doing this right, making sure his mate was fed and getting his body ready for their child. Piglins needed a lot of weight to be able to carry to term, if you saw an overweight Piglin end up pregnant and get bigger then you would be shocked to see that same Piglin smaller than they used to be when the child is born.

The body has to hold a lot of heat and layers of fat to keep the baby alive and healthy as even in early stages they can't regulate their own temperature like a matured adult Piglin can. And this trait will continue till the child is around 5 or older. It depends on the environment.

A rumble filled his chest at the thought of Dream finally realizing he was pregnant soon and crying to him in happiness. Children were a blessing to Neatherborns as the nether was a kill or be killed dimension, the children weren't allowed to bathe In the lava till they were 4 at most as their skin has to toughen up and get used to the heat, and it would help their bodies learn how to regulate.

He chuffed and focused back on his mate, smiling as he put a hand on Dream's stomach taking a small sniff, smiling wider when he smelt the beginnings of a brand new scent, the scent of their child. It was still developing so at the moment it was a mixture of his own scent and Dream's, and it was the most perfect thing he had smelt aside from when he was finally able to smell Dream's scent for the first time.

His joy slowly became worry then to announce and anger, it had been a month and Dream hadn't realized. Only for Techno to find out that Dream had just thought he was getting fat and letting himself go, watching his mate plead and beg him with pure terror in his expression and pain in his scent almost broke him.

He wanted to cry from just the sight of it, Dream curling in on himself for instinctual protection for himself and the unborn child he carried, protection from him, from Technoblade. Dream hadn't noticed it and he was thankful for that but he had started shaking when Dream pleaded with him to not leave and that he could get rid of it. He knew his mate was talking about the weight but his mind flashed with pure terror at the idea of Dream ridding himself of their child.

He knew that's not what Dream meant, but it still hurt. And it hurt at Dream thinking the weight was just him getting fat, that weight was beautiful, and if he was honest with himself then he would admit he'd been wanting to fatten Dream up a bit even since before mating, his mate was just too skinny even if he had lean muscle and he had found out way when he finally brought him home. He had watched Dream for days without food till he was physically forced to sit down and eat and Dream didn't even notice he was doing that either.

Though he made sure to worship his mate, and now they were sitting in the bath. Him holding Dream as he rested his chin on top of Dream's head grinning as his hands rubbed his mate's stomach. “Techno stop, I wanna get clean” Dream whined with a pout, he chuckled and finally gave in.

This went on for months, him doting on Dream, making sure he had what he craved and watched with joy as Dream's weight packed on. He had to threaten quite a few people when they tried mentioning Dream’s weight in front of him and word slowly got around that it wasn't something to mention. Phil, Bad, Sapnap as well as Wilbur, Tommy, Niki and Eret enforced it too as they had become protective when they had told them they were having a baby.

Wilbur, Tommy, were Uncles, Phil was a grandfather, Sapnap a godfather, Niki an Aunt and Eret a godmother. His own mother Kristin was a Grandmother now, if they didn't count Wilbur’s kidnapped person as a child? He was still confused about that.

It was now getting close to Dream's due date though, and they were all worried. But he had to go get something from a different server and had told Dream he'd be gone only an hour, which was true but when he returned his mate was nowhere to be found.

‘Don’t panic!’, ‘Den! Den!’, ‘Baby Time!’, ‘oop Panicnoblade!’, ‘and that sir is what we call a father!’, ‘wait what's a father?’, ‘mines in prison for 5 counts of homicide’, ‘I killed mine! He was an orphan so I stabbed him!’, ‘I ate mine’, ‘....... Jerry, please shut up….. Blood God please remove him’, ‘can I be moved away from him?’, ‘I don't feel like being cannibalized please!’.

He was only listening to the beginning of what the voices said as he refused to acknowledge Jerry. He made his way into the nether as fast as possible and ran to the Den relaxing a bit when he smelt Dream inside though it was mixed with panic and pain.

He stopped running and just walked once he got closer to the Den entrance, peeking his head around the corner he saw Dream with his eyes closed, breathing measured as he was pacing back and forth In front of the nest completely naked as Dream was probably extremely sensitive to clothing textures at the moment.

He finally stepped fully into the den after assessing what was happening, Dream barely acknowledged him, his tail relaxed and swaying behind him while ears pinned in pain. Dream had recognized his scent and wasn't on alert which was good, he slowly grabbed Dream's hands that were on his lower back trying to ease the pain there and brought them up kissing them while rumbling reassuringly to the other.

It took a while for the labor to fully start, so he had hunted and brought food back to the den for when Dream was actually able to eat. He was now naked and holding Dream sitting behind him as his mate gripped his hands stabbing him with sharp claws, inhuman screaming coming from the other. Dream screamed loudly as contractions hit, he nuzzled the other's neck kissing the mating mark every so often, “shh it's alright your doing amazing Dream” he whispered into his mate's ear as another contraction of his Dream and watched as his mate finally started pushing.

It didn't take long for everything to calm down when it felt as if time had stopped just from the sound of tiny lungs crying their heart out. Dream quickly let go of him and sat up on his knees or tried to but Techno wouldn't let him, he eased Dream to laying down as he moved and picked up their child who was still covered in a protective membrane.

He cut the umbilical cord with his claws and silently stared at their child, their child who was a little girl. He felt his eyes watering but held back as he gently placed their girl on Dream's chest watching as she slowly stopped crying and buried her face deeply into Dream's chest, Dream looked down at their girl and his breathing picked up again.

He watched as Dream cried holding their daughter close, his own tears silently falling down his face as he watched his beautiful little family, the amount of joy he had was too much for him to bear. But the thought of if he hadn't decided to pursue his curiosity about Dream that he wouldn't even be there at the moment watching his mate clean their child treating her as if she was the most precious thing in the world and he didn't think he could be any happier than this.
