"so just forget about the world, we're young tonight"

—

as soon as cameron saw jaren's head he jumped in excitement, almost whacking someone as his arms flew in the air.

"smit!!" cameron yelled, watching as the younger smiled and ran towards him. they shared a quick hug, both missing the other as soon as they pulled away.

jaren greeted toby, who was there as well. they hugged each other and cameron couldn't help but feel a ping of jealousy.

"okay! let's go to the hotel, the rest of the boys are waiting!" cameron said giddy. he grabbed one of jaren's suitcases and wheeled it behind him.

-

everyone was already drunk or high. besides toby, cam and jaren. toby has had only one drink, cam has had two, and jaren has had two as well.

cameron and jaren stood outside on the balcony. they didn't want to engage with the other people who were definitely not sober.

six feet under by billie eilish came on, one of jaren's favorite songs.

"hey cam, i know this is a silly question but would you want to dance with me? just for this one song." jaren spoke with a shaky voice; breaking the silence.

cameron chuckled lightly, "i'd love too."

the turned towards each other, cameron wrapping his arms around jaren's neck and jaren wrapping his arms around cameron's waist.

jaren rested his head on cameron's chest, since cameron was freakishly tall.

when the song stopped they each took a small step back, but close enough to still hold on to the other.

the two stared at each other for a while, until jaren finally gathered enough courage to lean in and cameron followed.

the kiss was short and sweet, jaren tasted like alcohol and sugar. electricity shot through the both of them, stoping at their lips and making them sting.

they pulled away, suddenly jaren ran off. locking himself away in the bathroom.

cameron went after him, knocking loudly and yelling. but it was no use, the door never opened.
