Chapter Text
The two just stared at each other for a while, admiring the smiles on each other's faces.
"We should be getting back." Beef said after a while, standing up and offering a hand out to Etho. The other took it, heaving himself up from the comfy spot. They made their way down the ladder, both still floating on air from the kiss.
"I.. I'll see you tomorrow." Etho whispered. Beef nodded, planting a soft kiss on Etho's cheek as they walked back to their own rooms.
"You fucking idiot!" Rhys all but yelled.
"I'm gonna side with Rhys on this one. You're a fucking idiot." Scarlet said.
"Will you two be rational?" Teagan asked. "Your guy's dreamboat is the fucktard who got us put in this place! Are you guys really taking Seth's side?"
"Really, T?" Devon asked. "He put us here for our own good. For Etho's own good! He needs this." Devon said, exasperated.
"I can't believe you're all siding with Seth! Beef seems like a great guy! He's cute, he's funny, and HE DIDN'T GET US THROWN IN A MENTAL ASYLUM!" Teagan yelled as Etho opened the door to his room. Oddly, his roommate wasn't there. Etho just sat down on his bed, putting a pillow over his head to try and block out the voices.
"Etho, you should know better than to think that that's gonna block us out." Scarlet said.
"I know. But I wish it would." Etho mumbled into the pillow.
"We know." Devon said.
"No, I really don't think you do." Etho whispered back, feeling tears well up in his eyes. 'Razor. Need razor.' Etho thought to himself.
"Etho, no." Scarlet warned.
"Fuck you." Etho said back. The voices stayed quiet, Etho had never acted like this towards them before. "Fuck all of you. I hate all of you and you make me want to kill myself more than I already do." Etho mumbled, rummaging around everywhere for a razor blade. When he couldn't find one he decided to take matters into his own hands, beginning to scratch at the old cuts, making them leak blood while tears dripped down his face. He didn't want to be here anymore. He didn't want to be alive anymore. He just wanted it to be over. All of it.
"Etho?" Beef whispered from behind him.
