Summary
Joel glared at Etho, trying to grab his covers back, but Etho was faster, pulling the edge out of Joel’s reach. “Ugh, fine, I’ll get up and we can do your stupid science experiments.”
Etho grinned at his victory, stepping back to give Joel room. “I’m going to go set up, come out as soon as you’re ready.”
“Set up—? Etho, what’ve you got planned?”
Etho just shrugged, “You’ll have to wait and see.”
<><><>
basically, etho wants to do some science experiments regarding this whole soulmate thing. joel is along for the ride, and he definitely doesn't have any weird thoughts and feelings popping up

Summary
“Do you ever wonder what it’s like?” Joel asked one night, his eyes fixed on Etho—as they had been for at least an hour.
Etho turned from across the Relation-Ship, meeting Joel's eyes to find an unusual intensity there, “Wonder about what?”
Joel shrugged and tried to seem casual as he said, "I mean, we know we share strong sensations. I, for one, am curious if that includes more than just pain and discomfort.”
Etho narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms, “What are you implying, Joel?"
“We’re soulmates, aren’t we, Etho? I wanna know what it feels like when we act like it.”
<><><>
joel still has some questions and curiosities about the soulmate bonds, although his interest isn't particularly scientific (etho's still is a little bit, but he's got other motivations too)

Summary
Joel had always thought it was being soul-bound that made him feel like that about Etho. It had made sense, of course, they were soulmates, bound by the very blood in their bodies, the very air they breathed. Of course it was intense, it made sense that he had wanted to chase Etho and tackle him, pin him down and prove that Etho was his. But that was just Double Life, that didn’t mean anything here, right? Joel expected to feel mostly normal about Etho here.
Clearly, he was wrong

Summary
Etho swallowed thickly and stepped backwards, blindly following the feeling that tugged at his core until his back was pressed against Joel’s. Each point of contact felt like static shocks, the air around them seemed to hum with that same electricity.
Joel scanned their surroundings, seeing more mobs making their way through the woods towards them. He made a low noise of displeasure, not needing to ask Etho to know it looked similar on his side.
For a moment, they just stood there, taking in the monsters around them with their shoulder blades digging into one another. The press of their bodies acted as a grounding point, a buzz of connection that sharpened their senses. Joel took a deep breath, feeling Etho’s lungs expand at the same moment.

double life joel and etho get caught out at night, but this is less about that and more about their soulmate bond
