Mark's POV:
I sit at my computer thinking out loud, "what should I do? I don't find anything fun anymore..." Ethan overhears me and ruffles my hair. "We'll do a live stream with some really gay shit, hm?" he offers, making me giggle. "You mean like a porno?" I question, awaiting his response.
"Sure, if you're down..." he answers. I giggle a bit, I feel my face heat up. I could tell Ethan noticed. "Mark, your face is red. Got something to tell us?" he implied. I grew anxious. "N-no!!! What are you saying? That I'm gay??" I ask. Ethan backs up. I laugh to lighten the mood but he's not taking it. "Mark, I was just joking, y'know..." he cuts himself off, "wait, why are you so defensive?" Ethan grows suspicious of me. I pull him close. I feel heat pulsate off him, hoping Tyler doesn't come in and assume things. "You gotta promise not to tell anyone, understand?" I whisper.
Ethan's POV:
Mark is so damn seductive when he whispers. NO! Ethan stop! "I promise" oh god, I feel my whole body warm up under his breath. "I've been questioning for a while now, Ethan, I need you to know this. I think I might be bisexual." He whispers even softer but still with a rough tone.
"I think I am too" I admit, god how could I not be? I mean Markiplier for gosh darn's sake! He lays his hand on my shoulder. I relax...maybe a little too much. "M-Mark..." I squeak. He backs up a bit, "What's wrong, Ethan?" he asks. I pray he doesn't notice. Tyler knocks on the door. Mark gets up to open his door and I run to the bathroom and cover my face with water. "F-fuck. He almost noticed." I turn on my phone and message Jack.
CrunkGumPlayz: Jack?
Jeksepticpie: Yeah?
CrunkGumPlayz: It happened again
Jeksepticpie: Fuck...
CrunkGumPlayz: Yeah
Jeksepticpie changed his name to Jack
CrunkGumPlayz changed his name to Ethan
Jack: How bad?
Ethan: Pretty bad
Jack: What did he do this time?
Ethan: he was whispering
Jack: dude. whispering?
Ethan: But like a soft yet rough whisper, almost seductive
Jack: ight, tell Mark that you promised to play Rocket League.
Ethan: Okie, can we actually play it though?
Jack: sure thing!
I grabbed a pair of sweatpants that I take with me just in case and flush the chain. "Mark, I'm going to play Rocket League with Jack!" I call, itching to just run.
"Okay, that's fine!" Mark called back.
Markiplier's POV:
It's weird that Ethan left so suddenly, maybe a stomach problem? Anyway, with my chest cleared, I thought I'd do a Q&A live stream for some unanswered questions. I arrange everything and set things up. I put some uncopyrighted music in the background and arrange the background lights to a calm combination. I sat back down and started the stream. "Hello Everybody! My name is Markiplier!" I reveal to the audience up close to my mic. The chat speeds so I put it in slow mode. "Okay, kaysleigh59 asked: Where is Ethan? Well, Ethan WAS here then he went round to play with Jack...went to play ROCKET LEAGUE without me!" I declared fake pouting. The chat was filled with 'awww'. "Markipenis....good name...." I commented, holding in my laughter, "asked: are you interested in someone else?" I thought for a few minutes before replying "no, no I don't believe I am" and with this, everyone spammed the chat. After an hour, I got a message from Jack.
Jackaboy: hey, man, wanna join me and Ethan on this one?
Markimoo: sure, let me just end the stream and I'll be on
Jackaboy: okay, talk to you in a minute
"fuck, I hope Ethan didn't say anything..." I think to myself a little too loudly. People in the chat heard me.
KittenTheMitten: wait, what? Have you got a thing you're not telling us?
I think of something fast. "No, we're just discussing what to do for Jack's birthday y'know?" and the chat was filled with 'ohhh okay'. I shake a little getting to my mouse but I hover over the END STREAM button. "Okay, I have to end the stream here. Thank you for joining the stream and I will see you guys in the next video, buh bye" I end the stream. With a sigh of relief, I go on Rocket League and connect with Jack and Ethan. "So, what have you guys been talking about?" I asked, shaking a little. Ethan was stumbling over his words. Jack cut him off though. "DICKS! Y'know, the boner cast n shite!" I laughed. I haven't heard the boner cast in YEARS! "Huhuhuhuhuhuhu" Jack replied, copying my laugh. "HEY! I don't sound like that!" I yell. Ethan giggled and spoke close to the microphone "Hello Everybody, My Name Is Markiplier" shit, that sent shivers.
"Noooooo I don't sound like thaaaat"I continue, pouting. The boys laugh. The game starts and every time I won, I'd scream and annoy Jack so when he won, he'd stand up and kiss his biceps mockingly. Ethan was quiet most of the game though. "Hey...Ethan?" I ask, hoping he's still alive. "hmmm, what? yeah?" he replied. I giggled, Ethan seemed a little distracted though, maybe I should tell Jack about me too, so there's no weight on Ethan's back. "hey, Jack?" I cautioned. Jack had that serious tone with a light Irish twang when replying. "Yes, Mark? You okay?" he asked. I cleared my throat countless times and thought for what felt like an hour. My veins on my arms were pulsating. "I'm....bisexual...I think...I told Ethan...just thought I should tell you too..." I gulped. At this moment, it seemed even longer for Jack to reply. I watched seconds take minutes to change. Then he started laughing. "I fookin knew it! I called it!" He calls out. I wanted to shush him but I trust him. We carried on with the game and Ethan was still quiet. "Jack, can we be on a skype call together or something?" I ask. Jack agreed and turned off the game. We got onto skype and it took Ethan a while to pick up. He didn't show video. "Ethan, what's up?" I question. I saw Jack sigh and look awkwardly to the side. "GUYS?" I ask again, involving Jack. But not a word was said. I get slightly frustrated. "Jack...Ethan..." I continue, "something is up...". I heard Ethan sigh, my heart dropped into my stomach. "Is it about me?" I implied. Jack nodded. We were getting somewhere. "And Ethan?" I interrogate. Jack nodded again. I think. "is it about my sexuality?" I feel I'm onto something. Jack does a hesitant nod. "Ethan?" he turns on his camera, he's been crying. "E-Ethan???" I'm concerned now.
Ethan's POV:
I shake, this could ruin everything!! "M-Mark..." I stutter. I want to collapse. His face, his smile, the way his hair falls. "Ethan?? What's wrong?" he asked with concern. His voice. I can't say it to him to his face! "t-turn off y-your cam-camera...." I stumble over my words like I'm trying to hoard them. He looked confused but he did. I had Jack on a big screen. "Mark...today I....uhhh" I didn't know what to say. "I like you and we don't have to be a thing...like I get that we're good friends...I don't want to-ugh I'm dumb!" I tremble as I start to break down again. Jack nodded at me. I was wondering why Mark was so quiet then he left the call. Me and Jack looked at one another when there was a knock on my door. I opened it and I was met by a warm embrace off Mark. "Ethan, we're good friends and your feeling won't ruin that...I don't feel the same Ethan but what matters is you were honest..." Mark said comfortingly, I smiled.
"guys, I appreciate you manly men are having a beautiful moment but I'm still here..." Jack chuckled.
