Levi's P.O.V.
While I was playing video games with Rhett, he asked me "Who beat you up on Thursday?"
"I'm not sure." I lied.
"I know Brad and Parker got it out of you. So I will ask you again or I'll ask Parker" He said.
"I don't want to tell you. Have Parker tell you." I replied.
He nodded and yelled for Parker.
Parker walked into my room and said "What do you want?"
"Who beat up Levi on Thursday?" Rhett asked.
"Tanner Reynolds." Parker answered.
"You've got to be kidding me." Rhett sighed angrily.
"Are you okay, Rhett?" I asked.
"No. I'm gonna kick that little shit's ass." He answered.
"Don't. If he hits me again, then beat him up. If he hurts me at all, I will go straight to you. I promise." I told Rhett.
"Are you sure? Cause I can beat him up tomorrow." Rhett said.
"Yes, I'm sure." I replied.
Bradley came into my room and said
"If Tanner threatens you in any way, come get one of us. I don't care if we're with our friends. Come get us."
"Okay Bagels." I said.
Parker and Rhett started laughing and Rhett said "He called you bagels."
"I know. He calls me that sometimes because I like bagels." Bradley replied.
"What do you call me?" Parker asked.
"You don't want to know." I answered.
"Is it really that bad?" He asked.
"I don't know, Satan. You tell me." I smirked.
Bradley and Rhett started laughing and Parker came over to me.
He put me in a headlock and noogied me.
He let me go and he started tickling my neck. I laughed and pushed his hand away.
"You know what I call you?" He asked.
"A lot of things." I answered.
"No. When I talk to Bradley I call you Little Lee because you're just so tiny." He said pinching my cheeks.
"Aww, isn't he adorable." Rhett cooed.
They kept cooing and then I felt somebody grab me from behind.
It was obviously Brad since he was the only one not infront of me.
He cradled me like you would a baby and said "Aww, look at the baby."
"Stop Brad. Put me down." I told him.
"Oh no, the baby's sad. Lets cheer him up." Rhett said coming over to us and poking me in the side.
I burst out laughing and he kept poking me.
Parker came over and started poking me too.
Bradley sat down on my bed and laid me on him so I couldn't move. They started tickling me and I started laughing even more.
"Stop!" I pleaded.
Bradley started tickling my neck and I lost it.
After 2 minutes of pleading, they stopped and let me go.
Parker and Bradley left my room and Rhett asked me "Do you like living here?"
"Yeah. I guess." I answered.
"Rhett come here!" Bradley called.
"Well, I gotta go see what he wants so I'll talk to you later." He said getting up and leaving.
Rhett's P.O.V.
I walked into Bradley's room and saw him in there with Parker.
"Come in here and close the door." He told me.
I nodded walking in and closed the door.
"So Parker wanted to talk to us about something." Bradley said.
I nodded and turned my attention to Parker.
"So, we've been getting a lot questions about Levi being our stepbrother. Well it's really just one question of if he is our stepbrother. And I was thinking, people are going to find out eventually, so we should just tell them. But not now. Next time and only if there is a next time, that Levi gets beat up, we tell people." Parker told me.
"I agree with you but I have an important question, Park. I though you hated Lee?" I asked.
"I don't hate him but I don't love him. He's a decent kid. But don't tell him that. And besides, I can't hate him forever." He answered.
"So he's growing on you is what I'm hearing?" I smirked.
"Shut it." He told me.
"Do you know what he said when we asked him who beat him up?" Bradley asked me.
"What?" I answered.
"He said why do we care anyway. And we told him because we just want to know who did it. Like if somebody beat up you, Levi would want to know who did it. And he said that he wouldn't need to know because you wouldn't get beat up. He said that you would kick the kid's ass. And he said that we would probably kill the kid." Bradley told me.
I laughed and said "Well he's not wrong."
They laughed too and Parker said "I can tell he really likes you. In a brotherly way. Not the other way. When you gave him the plush rocket, his reaction was kind of adorable. But don't tell him that. His reaction to you coming home was super cute. I watched from the top of the stairs and saw how happy he was. He asked us everyday what time you were coming home. He really missed you."
"That's really sweet. I hate to admit it, but I missed him too. The best thing about mom marrying Jeff is that we got a little brother. Well, I did. You guys just got another one." I said.
"I couldn't agree more." Bradley replied.
"Parker, I'm honestly surprised by your decision to tell everybody. I though for sure, you'd want to keep it a secret for as long as we can." I told Parker.
"Well, Bradley talked me into it to be honest. And it's not like it would never slip out or people would never put two and two together. They'd find out sooner or later. And now, it's sooner." Parker replied.
"Well that's very mature of you. And to tell you the truth, I knew he'd break you guys eventually." I told them.
"Well it took 10 months of knowing each other and 2 weeks of living together." He laughed.
My mom and Jeff dated for two months until we met Levi. We would have dinner with them usually once a week or once every two weeks but mom would go on a date with Jeff a few times a week. When we met Levi, he was twelve. He was and still is short for his age so we thought of him as some annoying little kid but in reality, he was quiet as a mouse and barely said a word to any of us.
They talked to us about them getting married and since we wanted them to be happy, we said that it was fine even though we didn't want them to. But much to our dismay, they got married and here we are.
"So anyway, we all agree?" Bradley asked.
"Yeah." I replied.
"Okay. Great. Now get out of my room." He said shooing up out.
