Etho hated Grian.
He had come to this conclusion during the charity stream in April, but he had felt those feelings brewing for months beforehand.
He felt them when he realized just how close Gem and Grian were
When he opened twitch.tv on his burner account and always saw Grian lurking in Gem's chat
When he would log onto hermitcraft and see them in a group for hours on end
When he saw all their casual intimacy during their real life meetups
When he saw the way they looked at each other
When they would send selfies of them together into the hermitcraft discord; very early morning, pink flush on their faces
When he realized that could be him.
When he realized it never would.
He closed out of the Gem stream he had open, he couldn’t handle Grian’s voice talking to her.
