Spite write!

Hunter/Echo, something angsty and hurty. Maybe Echo calling him Fives and apologizing.

Oof okay anon! I hope you enjoy this! It’s under the cut for implied past nsfw. Also this got angsty I’m sorry 😭

The single hand on his shoulder makes Hunter hunch further into himself. “I’m not him.”

Echo breathes slowly in through his teeth, “I know you’re not.” Retracting his hand does little to repair the damage he’s done. “I would never ask you to be him.”

Without even trying to suppress the self deprecating laugh, Hunter retorts, “You didn’t have to.”

“Hunter I’m sorry. I don’t know what I was thinking-“

Hunter cuts him off. “You were thinking of him.” Pain lances through Hunter’s voice, “You were thinking of him while we were…” He trails off, and doesn’t meet Echo’s eyes. “I can’t compete with a ghost, Echo.”
