chapter 1:
"maarrrkk!" ethan yelled down the stairs, "mhmm" mark yelled back, "what are we gonna dooo!" ethan exclaims as he walks down the stairs, "i dont know man, we could do a truth or dare video?, or like fans pick what we do all day?" mark suggested, "i like the truth or dare video!", "maybe fans could pick our truths and dares and if we dont do them they have to pick something that we have to do?", "yes! i love that idea actually" , "okay! then lets get set up!"
They set everything up and mark grabs his phone from the other side of the table "alrighty, you ready" mark giggles, ethan smiled back, ethan has always had a thing for mark he honestly grew up on him and ever since for about 3 years hes fallen more and more, but he knew mark was a completely straight guy and definitely only liked ethan as a friend, after a while he stopped looking so deeply in small gestures or words mark said because he knew there was never a chance, "since amy is out of town its just evan recording haha" mark giggled, "so we just have one camera angle!" ethan smiled as the camera clicked on
they were filming for a bit and each one just got worse from drink hot sauce to drinking expired milk, they were wore out by the end "alright thats it" they both laughed as the camera turned off, "i need to rinse my mouth out oh my god!" ethan gagged, mark laughed and reached down for his phone checking any new notifications etc. "dude you wouldn't believe how many fucking comments were that was just daring us to do sexual stuff" mark laughed "no way, wait let me see" ethan scrolled through hundreds of tweets asking them to kiss, hug, and worse, "wowie" ethan laughs "i know! its insane hahaha" well we still have a while before editing you wanna hang out with evan and all them? they are probably watching a movie", ethan blushed a bit he loved hanging out with mark "of course!" they headed over to the couch and turned on a movie everyone was talking about new videos there own life etc. exept ethan he kept his mouth closed the whole time which mark noticed soon enough, "hey you alright man?" mark asked in a soft tone, ethan snapped back in reality "o-oh ye-yeah dude im okay!" , mark obviously didn't believe him but went back to talking,
ethan pov:
i was really stressed out about everything, i needed some time alone to figure out everything, i had just broken up with mika because of someone i felt strongly about for some weird odd reason, mark. ive never been interested in ever dating a guy, i knew myself that i wasnt gay or bi, because the thought of dating any other man besides mark never appealed to me, im not sure why i had these feelings and i was extremely stressed about them i thought i knew myself when really i didnt at all "hey you alright man?" mark startled me out of my thinking, "o-oh ye-yeah dude im okay!" i responded but i could tell mark knew something was up i didnt open my mouth the whole time i just needed to talk to mark, thats what i needed to do, this is why i broke things off and took some time this was worth everything and ive been carrying it for 3 years., the movie ended and everyone started clearing out except for ethan, mark was clearing off a popcorn bowl from the table while ethan watched admiring marks facial features, "can i help you" mark laughed as he noticed how deeply ethan was staring at him, "o-oh no-no! bu-but um do you th-think we can talk?" ethan managed to choke out "yeah of course let me just bring this in the kitchen" mark picks up the bowl and walks with ethan close behind him "okay whats up" mark exclaims while looking back at ethan,
"i um, i think im gonna pass out", "thats what you needed to say" mark laughs they both laugh at ethans nervousness, "no but for real dude whats going on you can tell me anything!", "mark, i um, mark i-,um- I THINK WE SHOULD DO A NEW TIKTOK DANCE FOR A VIDEO ethan blurts out finally, mark laughed "uh okay?" he smiled "whatever you wanna do dude, we will do" ethan breathed out "ah, ok-okay" they said there goodbyes ethan left.
~time skip~
about a day later ethan calls mark to come over, "ill be over in a second!", mark arrives at ethans house and they end up talking about a new video idea, they smiled and ethan sat down next to mark, ethan had a few drinks and drank more and more as the conversation went on, soon mark noticed ethan slurring and not making much sense, "haha ethan youre drunk, you should honestly probably get some sleep we have been talking all night", "wait markk dont go!" ethan says quite flustered, "wait why? whats wrong?" "i want you to stay!!", ethan looks up at mark helplessly "eth-" mark giggles, but before he could finish a hand grabs his shirt and pushes him down on the couch
