It doesn't take long for Ethan to get used to Sawyer DM'ing him. They usually message him a meme, or talk about his latest video. He tries to respond with something of substance, but exchanging memes is much more easier than having an actual conversation.

After two days, he finally tells G that he likes someone, and G demanded to know who it was. Ethan sends him a link to one of Sawyer's videos, a keyboard cover they did a few months ago when they had purple hair.

she's cute. good singer G tells him.

*they. yeah but idk if like. anything could happen???? he texts back, and follows up with, we dm now but its not like we really talk about anything important

the fact that u subscribed and dm her tells a lot

*they. sawyer's pronouns are they/them Ethan fires off.

aw fuck. sorry

anyways but we just send memes!!!

memes are a gr8 basis for a healthy relationship

memes are too platonic

then actually ask them about themself!! its not so hard

lkhklsfja;sfjsdlkghsd; Ethan sends, and exits the conversation with G.

He switches over to Twitter and taps on Sawyer's avi to DM them, but hesitates on what to say. They're both YouTubers, and with that comes the occupational hazard of oversharing. After watching several of their videos, he knows a lot of things about Sawyer already: favorite bands, shows, movies, that they wear a lot of meme-y shirts. And if they watch his videos, they can probably name a bunch of random facts.

He can't ask a question about what they like, because they're pretty open with it. Sometimes it's hard being mildly well-known.

Sighing, he leaves the conversation and goes back to the one with G.

its too hard!!!!

bro. just ask them what their fave color is

its pink

then their fave animal, school subject, whatever!!!!

oh thanks bud

what?

Ethan goes back to the conversation with Sawyer and asks, so what classes do u take for cinematography ?

Sawyer's reply is almost instantaneous: watch a lot of movies. one of my professors made us watch the breakfast club and count how many jumpcuts there were. the answer: a lot

???? oh my god that sounds horrible so glad i didnt go to college

nah it was pretty fun otherwise. everyone was out of it all the time, and it was like. homophobic, but i met some cool kids

Ethan laughs, and sends back, i barely have the mainer accent so dont worry about it
