WHEN: Thursday, 30th April.

TRIGGERS?: N/A.

Lounging on his bed scrolling through his phone, Cameron glanced up as Levi got up to leave the room, saying something about a shower. It had been hard to find alone time with Miles throughout this trip, despite their shared bedroom. Levi had been a necessary addition to their room to prevent any suspicion, but Cam was learning to take every moment he could, seeing opportunity in his brother finally leaving him and Miles alone. Scheming for a second, a grin spread across his face slowly, putting his phone down and grabbing the pillow behind his head to launch it at Miles. Bounding off his own bed, he joined Miles on his, straddling his hips. "Next time, we're getting our own room," he muttered, before leaning down to capture Miles' lips enthusiastically, happiness bubbling up in him.

Miles was lounging back on his bed, scrolling mindlessly through his twitter feed. He hummed slightly as Levi left, not really paying attention until the pillow hit him. He blinked, “Hey,” he complained, but went quiet as the other boy bounced toward him and moved over him. Miles smiled as he leant up to meet Cameron for the kiss, his hand sliding into the other’s hair as he pulled him down over him, parting his legs slightly and losing himself in the kiss.

Levi awoke to a minor headache. He'd partied a little too harty the night before and all he wanted to do was wash last night off of him. He threw off the covers & grabbed his phone - not even sending a "good morning" Cam or Miles's way. "Shower..." was all he blurted out, groggily and made his way out the door and down the hall to the right, all the while barely keeping his eyes open. Once he made it into the bathroom, he put on his shower playlist & made his way into the shower. His thoughts drifted to how relaxed this trip made him, given that opening night was approaching quicker than he liked, but he was focusing on having a good time with his friends.

Cameron laughed at Miles' reaction to the pillow, an amused smirk on his face. "Did I hurt you?" he teased against Miles' lips, running his hands down Miles' chest. "I can kiss it better." He trailed his lips down Miles' jaw to his neck, leaving a path of soft kisses in his wake. They definitely didn't have time to do anything else, even with Levi's vanity undoubtedly leading to a long shower, but Cameron could tease him a little -- leave him wanting more for later. They'd have to find an actual place to sneak off to together. Cam was getting ansty. Scraping his teeth against Miles' skin gently, he found his lips again, deepening the kiss as he ground his hips a little. He was definitely there to tease.

Miles slowly blinked open his eyes, smirking up at Cameron and kissing him again quickly before the other trailed his lips down his neck. “Mhmhm,” he hummed, scratching his fingers through Cam’s hair as he tilted back his head slightly. He groaned as the older boy rocked down against him, lifting his own hips and parting his lips to kiss Cam back deeply, trying not to let himself get too carried away but he’d been wanting to have Cam pressing him down into his bed since they’d first stepped foot in LA.

After drying off after his shower, Levi wrapped a towel around his waist & grabbed his phone, making his way out of the steamy bathroom. He looked down at his phone and realized that it was still early enough for him to take his time getting ready, but what he would see next would scar him for life. He turned the corner, opened the door to his room, and was shocked to find his brother straddling the guy that, up until this point apparently, he swore he hated. "What the-"

As Miles scratched his fingernails across his scalp, Cam couldn't help but let out a soft moan. He was getting carried away, but Miles had an effect on him that nobody else had. Caught between kissing him and wanting to pull away and suggest they find somewhere private, Cam didn't register the sound of the door opening until it was too late -- only responding when he heard Levi's voice. Shit. Cam leapt away from Miles as quickly as he could, running a nervous hand through his hair, suddenly unsure where to put his hands or how to hold his body in a normal, human way. "H-hey," he greeted shakily, face an ever-deepening shade of crimson. "How was your shower?"

Miles had barely even heard when Levi spoke, blinking as suddenly Cam leapt off him, before glancing to the side with wide eyes. He slowly reached to grab a pillow and slid it down to cover his hips. “Levi, hey...” he murmured slowly, looking to Cameron for help with how to deal with this current situation, noting how red he’d gone and letting out an awkward chuckle. “So, uh... now you know?”

Levi's face was agape & he didn't know how to react. His own flesh and blood had been keeping a secret from him for who knows how long, and this is how he was finding out. "My shower was great, Cam, how was your grind sesh with your sworn enemy?" He didn't know why he was pissed; it was probably just the shock of walking in on his brother & Miles swapping spit & grinding up on each other. "I think the real question is: How long have you been fucking Miles?"

Cameron didn't really know where to look or how to react, tugging his shirt down as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "It was -- good. I -- realise I didn't need to answer that question." He coughed a little, glancing over at Miles to try and gauge the other boy's reaction. Levi wasn't the first to know, but he was certainly the most important to Cam -- and knowing Levi, definitely the most likely to tell everybody else. "It's not like that. We're not -- fucking. We're -- dating. He's my boyfriend." He bit his lip, shrugging a little. "Officially, only a few days. Obviously it's been going on longer, but... I only asked him on Tuesday."

Miles couldn’t help but laugh when Cameron answered the first question, but bit his lip and went quiet as he realised Levi didn’t seem impressed with the situation. “Uhm, yeah, he pretty much covered it. We just- wanted to see where it was going before telling everyone, y’know?” he murmured, looking back to Levi and smiling sheepishly.

So many things were running through his mind, Levi didn’t know how to process what was happening. One on hand: he was pissed that this was how he was finding out, on the other: he was happy that Cam finally found someone. “So...this isn’t just a hook-up, then? You guys really like each other?” He asked. “When did....how....” his voice trailed off at Mile’s comment “So then, I’m the first to know about you?” He said a bit too excitedly. Finally he would have something over everyone else & prove that, just because he was the youngest St. James, that didn’t mean he wasn’t less than his siblings.

"No, it's not just a hook up. I really like him," Cameron confirmed, reaching out to grab Miles' hand and shuffling slightly closer to him. It felt good to tell Levi -- his brother was the person he was closest to in the world, despite all their teasing, and now he could share something so important with him. "Actually, you're -- third. Zeke and Clara both know, they've walked in on us... but I haven't told Hannah, or even Mom or Dad." Cameron bit his lip guiltily -- he hoped Levi wouldn't be hurt by not being told right away. At least he was the first St. James to know. "But you're the first to know he's my boyfriend. I don't know what the others think, but... that's a scoop."

Miles looked to Cam then, smiling as the boy took his hand, squeezing it gently, before glancing back at Levi and nodding. "Apparently we're not very good at this 'keeping it a secret' thing," Miles murmured, scratching at his head with his free hand. "But yeah, you're the first to know it's official. He asked me on the ferris wheel, where I couldn't escape."

He couldn’t help but admit how sweet Cam & Mikes looked together, & he could see how sincere Cam was being. Levi turned his shocked expression into one of happiness. “Wow, guys. This seems really genuine. Congratulations!” He went to go hug them, but realized he was still only in a towel. “Uh...maybe I should put some clothes on before any celebratory hugs.” He said with a laugh. However happy he was right now quickly changed at the revelation that he was not, in fact, the first to know, but rather the third. “So....wait. You told the guy who’s been thirsting after you first, then your ex-girlfriend, and I only found out by walking in on you; Were you ever going to tell me?” He was over this. He and Cam had shared everything with each other & their relationship was the one Levi valued above all. Now he was the last to know. “Y’know what? Forget it. I don’t think I want the answer to that question.” He walked over to his dresser, pulled out underwear, shorts, and a tank top, and headed for the door. “I can’t be in here right now.” And slammed the door without a second look back at his brother.

Despite his fear, it seemed that Levi was happy for them, Cameron smiling as his brother stepped forward to hug him. "Yeah, might be a good idea," he agreed with a laugh, relief seeping through him. Maybe this was going to be painless. But then he admitted the part about Clara and Zeke knowing, and Levi's body language changed entirely -- Cam's heart sinking a little. "They only found out by walking in on us," he protested quickly, dropping MIles' hand to go over to his brother. "Of course I was going to tell you. You were the person I wanted to tell most." He watched Levi as he got dressed, wanting to say more but not knowing how he could make his brother listen to him. Before he knew it, Levi was gone, slamming the door behind him. Biting his lip, he turned to look at Miles, shrugging a little. "I should let him cool off, right?" he asked, fighting his instinct to chase after Levi. "God, he's never going to forgive me."

Just as things seemed to be turning, and Miles was relaxing as Levi moved to hug them before pulling back, Cameron dropped the fact that Clara and Zeke both knew, albeit from walking in on them in very similar situations. He blinked as he saw Levi change, and Miles moved to stand. "Yeah, they only-" he started, but Levi was out the door before he could finish. He sighed as the door closed, and looked back at his boyfriend, slowly moving closer to take both his hands. "He will, it's just a shock," Miles murmured, "Give him a little time. I'm sure if you pull him aside, explain how it was all accidental that Clara and Zeke found out too, he'll understand."

As the door shut behind him, Levi didn't know why he did what he just did. Sure, he was pissed that his own flesh and blood didn't tell him some major news, but he was more upset at the fact that it felt like Cam couldn't trust him to keep this a secret. He'd been running over what Miles & Cam had said about how Clara & Zeke found out in a similar way and thought wow those two suck at locking doors. Maybe he was overreacting - he couldn't help it, though, he was Rachel Berry's son after all - but there was no denying that he was hurt. He thought about going back in the room, apologizing for the way he acted, but he couldn't face Cam again. Instead, he turned on his heels and headed out the main door of the house to cool down. He'd deal with whatever Cam had to say later on.

Cam sighed, trying not to spiral too quickly into a place of despair. Ruining his relationship with Levi was the last thing he wanted -- he loved his brother more than anything. He squeezed Miles' hands, shrugging a little. "I hope so," Cam murmured, before wrapping his arms around Miles and leaning into him. "He's also probably going to tell everyone. We might have been found out for good now." Cameron didn't mind the world knowing -- he was happy with Miles. But Levi forgiving him was more important. "We should tell everyone else. Hiding it is fun, but letting everyone know how cute you are... that's even more fun."

Miles slid his arms around Cameron then, pulling him into a hug and kissing his cheek. "Well, maybe it's okay if everyone knows," he murmured, smiling as he pulled back. "And he will forgive you. You just gotta talk to him, explain that he would have been the first you'd tell if we weren't so fucking awful at locking doors." He chuckled, one of his hands resting on Cameron's chest. "So yes, let's tell everyone. Why not? I want everyone to know how cute I am.”
