Ethan had been the person behind the camera during Marks videos for awhile and was also his editor, Ethan was to camera shy to be in front of a camera so Mark and Tyler didn't push him to be in any videos until he was more comfortable. Ethan was setting up all the necessary recording elements while Tyler and Mark talked about the bit, Ethan was wearing a hoodie and some black skinny jeans and black converse, he seemed content to just run the camera for the two guys. "Ok everything is ready!" He said looking at the two with a smile "Thanks Ethan your the best!" Mark said and turned back to talk to Tyler as Ethan grabbed the camera and walked to the kitchen getting ready to record as the other two walked in to stand behind the counter and gave them a thumbs up when he started the recording. Mark started to talk and then introduced Tyler and then talked about what they were going to do today, Ethan was holding the camera as he watched them suddenly feeling very lightheaded. Tyler noticed and looked up at him "Ethan you ok?" Ethan just simply nodded although he didn't feel ok, he hadn't eaten for almost a week and he's wearing a hoodie in the house which was causing him to over heat. Tyler seemed skeptical as he went back to what he was doing occasionally glancing at Ethan when he saw his eyes flutter closed for a second he stepped towards him causing Mark to look up at the two "Ethan are you sure your ok?" Ethan just put on a smile and nodded opening his eyes. Tyler again walked back over to Mark and they continued the video without problems until it came near the end of the video and Ethan could barely stand anymore, before Mark could do his outro Ethan collapsed to the floor the camera thankfully landing on the carpet of the living room.

Mark and Tyler ran over to the frail boy laying on the floor, Mark bent down and checked his pulse seeing he was still alive and sighed in relief "Why didn't notice he was wearing a hoodie? .. Tyler go get a wet cloth.." Tyler nodded and walked to the kitchen and grabbed a cloth getting it wet and came back giving it to Mark. Mark sat Ethan up a little bit with some difficulty as he was unconscious and took off his hoodie his shirt coming off in the process and what the two saw shocked them. Ethan had lines covering his wrist and arms and his ribs were showing, he looked like he hadn't eaten for so long "What the hell?.." Tyler whispered as Mark started to tear up as he put a hand on Ethan's cheek "Why would you do this to yourself Ethan?.." Mark carefully picked up Ethan almost like he would break if held to tightly and brought him to the couch laying him down and placing the cloth on his forehead. "He overheated in that hoodie...he didn't want us to question it..."Mark whispered to no one in particular but Tyler heard him "Why wouldn't he trust us Mark?.." Mark just shook his head "I don't know Tyler..I don't know.." they both sat and waited for Ethan to wake up Mark deciding to make spaghetti so Ethan could eat when he woke up.

Ethan was out for about 2 hours and woke up to the smell of food which made his stomach growl but he ignored it as he also felt the chill of the air around him realizing he didn't have on his hoodie or his shirt anymore as his eyes shot open "W-what the hell happened?" He looked beside him to see Tyler and then Mark, they both paused their conversation to look at him "Ethan your awake!" Tyler hugged him gently "We were so worried about you Ethan we love you so so much" Ethan blushed at what Tyler said "W-what? Love me?" Ethan looked to Tyler and Mark who looked embarrassed as Mark slid Ethan a plate of food "Eat this and we will explain everything ok?" Ethan looked down at the food almost in disgust but his stomach begged for food so he sighed and started to eat. Mark sighed in relief seeing him eat "Near the end of the video you passed out..we weren't sure why until we realized you were wearing a hoodie and it's like 80° here...so I took off your hoodie and shirt to cool you down a bit that's when we saw everything..I want ask you to explain because you don't have to it's none of my business but me and Tyler..we had a talk..we both have had a crush on you for the longest time..we wanted to ask if you would be willing to join a relationship with us?.." Mark seemed hesitant saying those last words as he took Tyler's hand in his own. Ethan watched the two in shock as they explained everything that happened but when he got to the last words his heart fluttered and he smiled brightly "You have no idea how long I've been waiting to hear you guys say that" Ethan smiled and walked over to Tyler and Mark carefully sitting on Marks lap hugging him and Tyler hugged the two. One things for sure, this relationship would never end.
