~Ty's POV~

When we figured out about Mitch and Jerome's little crushes, we decided to force them together. Adam sent them out to get groceries and things while we come up with a plan to make Merome a thing!

"So, as you've all been probably able to tell, Mitch and Jerome are crushing. We have to get them together," Adam tells the guys.

"Well.. We do have a pool..." Jason smirked.

"That we do, my friend," Adam replied.

"Operation Pool Party is on it's way!" I cheered.

Everyone cheered with me.

"Today or... when?" Quentin asks.

"Um.. Tomorrow?" Ian suggests.

I agree and everyone else copies.

~Jerome's POV~

When Adam suggested Mitch and I go together to get groceries, we both awkwardly agreed. I know why I felt awkward, but why was Mitch?

I look his direction often, sometimes catching him staring at me too. He would instantly look away and blush a deep pink. I grin at the sight of him blushing of embarrassment.

I realize we don't have a list of what they needed us to get.

"Um... Biggums? What are we supposed to get?" I say while looking down at the cart.

There's no answer, so look up at Mitch. His eyes were fixed on me. I smiled and waved my hand in his face.

"Mitcchhh," I say.

"Oh.. Um.. Yeah?" His cheeks burned red.

"I said... What are we supposed to get?"

His face still a crimson color, he replied, "Oh.. Yeah. They gave me this before we left."

He handed me a folded piece of paper with a list of what to get.

"Thanks," I reply smiling. I slowly look up from the paper. I barely catch a glimpse Mitch's head quickly looking away from me. I chuckle with amusement.

~Jason's POV and Time Skip~

We've been at the pool party for maybe... 6 hours? It's already 8 and the sun is setting. I see Mitch sitting on the sit of the pool with only his legs in the water, talking to Seto. I spin around and see Jerome, having a contest with Tyler (Munching Brotato) on who can hold their breath the longest.

Seto and Tyler both look at me and then to Adam. He gives us a thumbs up and we know what to do.

"Jerome, can we move to deeper water? It's harder to go underwater in 5 feet deep water," Tyler asked Jerome.

"Sure buddy!" Jerome exclaimed, diving into the water into the direction of the 9 foot deep end, also where Mitch was with Seto.

Suddenly, Seto grabbed Mitch.

"Seto! Put me down!" He pleaded.

Seto brought him high over his head.

"Please Seto! Don't! Please!"

Seto didn't listen and threw him into the water, quite close to where Jerome was.

Adam burst out laughing, causing some others to join in.

The laughing subsided and the conversations began again.

I still laughed quietly to myself as Mitch realized how close how he was to Jerome and that they were back in the shallow water. His cheeks blushed brightly and he looked down at his hands that were submerged under water.
