Cold, Sleepless Nights (Double Life Oneshot)

Ever since Last Life, Bdubs had seemed to be avoiding Etho. Before the game, they'd tried to hang out weekly, but now they'd barely spoken, let alone hung out. It hurt a lot, more than Etho ever thought heartbreak (or whatever this was) would, so he'd hid out in the wilderness of the Hermitcraft server for a while. When the moon bugged and they moved servers, Etho considered speaking to Bdubs about everything, but he'd chickened out and went back into hiding, this time on the new world.

After that, Etho'd only seen Bdubs on run-ins; one time, Etho had been purchasing wood from GIGA Logs at the same time as Bdubs; another time, Bdubs had been searching for horses and came across Etho trying to find cows for food after a long mining session. Even on these occasions, though, Bdubs left as quickly as possible.

Etho didn't understand it.

.o.o.

In other words, Bdubs is ignoring Etho, Etho doesn't know what he's done wrong, and both of them have made some mistakes.

You can read this fic on its own if you really want to, but it'll make a lot more sense if you read the prequel, Down The River, first.
