一緒 (together) - ethan nestor x reader

one ☆ - photos

today was the big day. you're sitting in line at a meet and greet at vidcon. at the end of the line was mark and ethan, hugging and taking pictures with people.

your idols.

you've been watching them since the days with bob and wade. since they made try not to laugh challenge videos. since 2016. they've made you cry, laugh, smile, and reminisce. but most of all, they saved you; they saved you from committing suicide. they were the ones you thought about when holding the bottle of pills in your hand. how mark had said hearing fans passing away tore him to shreds. how you'd never get to hear ethans laugh again, or see a new hair colour on mark, or see chica grow older, or see either of them get married. they made you put the bottle back in the cabinet. they saved your life.

now you were getting close to the front of the line. your heart started to beat faster. you almost couldn't believe what was happening. as you watched the person in front of you hug ethan once more and then leave, your eyes started to well up with tears.

you walked over to them. ethan saw a tear stream down your rosed cheeks and stepped forward, holding his arms out. immediately you sunk into his arms, sobbing. there were people all around; it was the busiest vidcon you had ever seen. but for a moment, you forgot about them. about your worries. ethans hands rubbed small circles into your back, and mark gripped your shoulders. ethan whispered a small "hey, it's okay!" in his darling voice you couldn't escape.

finally, after what felt like hours, you stepped out of ethan's arms and into marks. his strong biceps found a way to hold you in a way that made you feel secure in life, just for a moment. one hand rubbed your back, the other ran through your long hair. you whispered a, "you saved me. you made me put the pills down" just loud enough that mark and ethan could hear. you could hear ethan choke up, and an assumed teardrop fell onto your hair.

finally stepping back, marks hands stayed on your shoulders. "you're so strong", he said quietly, which made your cheeks even wetter. you could hear a photographer say, "we only have a minute and a half each, you might want to do a photo soon", but it didn't matter and you could tell it didn't matter to mark or eef either.

"okay, okay," ethan said with a choked laugh, "we can do photos now." you nodded and took a step back so you were in between the two boys. their hands wrapped around your shoulders as you wiped your tears and gave a final smile.

"hey," ethan quickly turned around after the photo. you realized there was a back pack behind in the corner, full of mostly water and snacks. in the mesh pocket meant for water bottles there was maybe a couple dozen folded sticky notes. ethan pulled one from the mesh and put it in your hand, closing your fingers over it. "take it. don't share it. read it at home" mark said. you nodded.

hugging both of the boys a final time, you finally walked away. ethan said a "nice meeting you! have a good day!" to you before you couldn't hear them anymore.
