Polygamy? That wasn't something Ethan would have ever thought would have been suggested to him by two of his friends. Sean McLoughlin and Mark Fischbach. Ethan had never thought In his wildest dream or the depths of his imagination he'd never imagined he'd ever be thinking. It was unthinkable, in all of his whole life. He. That small youtuber crankgameplays who'd started with his best friend and then had inevitably split up. He. The almost elite level gymnast, who had accidentally fallen into the strange website. Youtube. Would ever date a man. Let alone two at once. He'd had feelings for guys before but this was something else. Ever since he'd been watching these two boys there had been something slowly building up from the depths of his heart and he actually liked it.
Ethan had dated at least one guy before. Tyler scheid. That beautiful man. He had fallen for him back when Tyler moved in with mark and Ethan, as marks manager. The relationship had been rough as he never had much time for Ethan he was always doing something more important, that was when Ethan had drunkenly fallen into marks arms one night. Tyler had ditched Ethan for some football match. Ethan had gone to a bar and gotten absolutely wasted. He could barely talk barely move. So the bar manager who knew Mark quite well had called him asking mark to pick him up from the bar. This happened about a week before he quit his restaurant management job. He'd been balancing three jobs each day. Managing the restaurant at night. Editing marks videos in the afternoon. And recording, editing and uploading his own videos in the mornings. But he had always found a small amount of time for Tyler. no matter how busy he had been.
Ethan had loved Tyler so much but that night was the night that changed it all. It had been a long time coming the inevitable break up. That night. When mark had carried Ethan like a newly we'd couple out of the bar into his truck. With Ethan resting his pounding head against marks chest like a new own baby and its mother. He loved Tyler. But he always chucked him out like some useless price of garbage. Worse still the night it happened was Ethans 19th birthday October 24th 2015 Tyler had forgotten and gone out with his mates. To watch some shitty American football team. Mark had remembered it was his birthday which was why he was forgiven for getting wasted. And ut had been while in the car that night that Ethan had drunkly confessed his. undying love for mark and sean.
Who at the time had been dating each other and when push came to shove Ethan had woken up the next morning naked between mark and Sean. He was planning to try to explain to Tyler that morning and break up with him gently but Tyler had walked into the room to wake the two men he expected to be asleep in their but had gotten quite a shock seeing Ethan. Long story short. Tyler and Ethan had broken up and Ethan Sean and mark had gotten together.
Ethan had been wandering the vast room that encapsulated the youtuber convention. Bustling with youtubers Ethan recognised and adored. Jenna marbles-The queen of the YouTube platform. Felix, or pewdiepie with his Girlfriend or possibly now fiancee Marzia. The king and his princess. Daniel Howell and Phillip Lester. Two of Ethans favourite youtuber to watch when he felt down. Chris Kendall and Pj Liguori. Two brilliant youtubers. Ethan was surrounded by YouTube royalty. And he felt like an ant compared to them. He was gazing at Jennas Booth. It was beautiful. He couldn't wait for Dan and phils signing time slots so Ethan could try speak to them. Maybe even get recognised by one. Actually he didn't stand a chance there.
Ethan sighed when he saw the opening time for jennas booth was 4pm. he started to walk towards his booth. Maybe he could open early. Maybe someone. Anyone. Fans or just people wanting an autograph from a youtuber. He didn't really care. Being aless known youtuber and being friends. Scratch that and dating two of the biggest youtubers and being friends with the biggest. Had advantages and disadvantages. People saw him in videos and heard about him. But they didn't take much notice of him
One day a few weeks ago Ethan was sat alone. Alone and at home. Alone and at home in the bed. Waiting. Watching. He picked up the black acrylic remote. Fumbling in the dark to find that bright green button to turn his television on. To be completely honest he had always felt like a third wheel in the relationship. I mean it would make sense he was more of a toy to Sean and mark. They went out and did stuff as a couple while Ethan was always stuck working or worrying about paying his rent. He'd been chucked in the deep end of the relationship only there when it was convienient for the other two. This isn't love is it. They always fell asleep before he got home in the early hours in.the morning. He hadn't slept in the same bed as them for two months. Afraid to annoy them by waking them.up as he tried to clamber into the bed. He spent nights on the couch and still woke up earlier than they did. So he could record a video to make some money so he could pay back the rent he owed. Obviously he recorded for the fans and not just the money, although he had been desperate for money reecently.
If anyone ever asked Ethan who he loved most in the world. He wouldn't need more than a second to give an answer you could always tell it would be "Sean and Mark" he loved them.so much but sometimes he worried if they loved him just as much he loved them. Quite often when meeting each others families. Sean and mark would introduce each other as boyfriends and Ethan was always introduced as a friend. Every time they said friend Ethans mind went into over drive he didn't know whether to correct them. He didn't want to annoy them. He was unsure whether they introduced him as friend because it was easier than explaining the coming into the relationship story of Ethan. Or because they genuinely forgot they was dating him as well as each other. Ethan wouldn't be surprised considering the fact that he hadn't slept with them for two months
