I was so scared...

(Thank you Leneths for the fanart <3)

Ethan woke up in the same truck except he felt a little drowsy this time. He got up and saw that the back was already open. 'Was it... no... it couldn't be... I watched him...' He thought to himself. Ethan got up and ran out of the truck. He was back at the cabin. He busted through the door.
"WINTERS!!" Ethan scream tears streaming down his face.

Winters walked out of the dining room confused. "what's wrong?" He asked. Ethan ran up and hugged him tightly. He buried his face into his chest and continued to cry. He was shaking as he gripped winters' shirt tightly.
"I was... I was so scared... " Ethan mumbled "I saw you.... die..." He said through clenched teeth.
Winters hugged him back and gently stroked his hair "shhhhh... it's okay... I'm okay..." This was very calming to Ethan and he slowly calmed down as Winters held him close and soothed him.
"Winters..." Ethan blushed and looked up at Winters
"Are you feeling better now?" Winters said softly, still stroking his hair.
"mhm..." Ethan said still holding onto him.
"Ethan... has anyone told you how handsome you are..." said Winters looking deeply into his eyes.
"Yes..." said Ethan awkwardly, not knowing how to respond. Winters giggled a bit at how flustered he was.
"we'll let me tell you again..." said Winters pulling him in close. "Ever since I saw you passed out in the snow; I haven't been able to get you off of my mind... I only see the players so I haven't met anyone like you before... and to be frank... I like you a lot better than them..." Confessed winters. Ethan didn't have time to question the 'players' part as winters whispered "come here" and pulled him into a loving kiss.

Ethan was surprised and kissed back. Their lips moved in sync with each other as they kissed. After what felt like years but also seconds, they pulled apart, breathless.
"How are you so good at kissing without lips?" Asked Ethan
"Not sure how to answer that considering I have no idea what lips are." Winters said laughing.
They giggled pressing their foreheads together.

They sat and cuddled on the couch together.
"I haven't been this happy since I first met my son..." said Winters quietly
"Your son?" questioned Ethan
"Oh- did I say that out loud?"
"Yeah... Can you tell me about your son?" Asked Ethan
"My son... He was so beautiful. I adopted him hoping to give up my ghost hunting life and try to start over. I had never loved anyone more than I loved him. I cried the first time I held him. I had never been so happy... But..." Winters paused. Tears started to well up in his eyes and he let out a small sniffle. "He um... He died from um.... asphyxia... at 1 year old...". Small tears began fall from his eyes and he quietly cried. "I... I really miss him..." Winters said holding onto Ethan for comfort.
"I'm... I'm so sorry... I kind of know how you feel... My daughter, Rose, she was kidnapped by some sick ######## and I had to save her about 4 months before I got here." Ethan said, not trying to make it about himself but unsure about what else to say.

Winters wanted to change the subject because he didn't like thinking about his son, and it was beginning to get awkward and just plain sad. "Um, I actually wanted to talk to you about that, how did you get here?"
"I don't really know myself, but I'll tell you what I do know..."
