Connor walked over to his bed, laying down, "so what do you wanna do?" Connor sighed, placing his hand on his forehead.
"I don't know" Troye said laying downside Connor, Connor then sat up. Standing up beside the bed, "Wanna go in the pool?"
Troye shrugged, "I don't have anything to wear" Connor rushed to his closet, disappearing for a moment. Connor came back moments later with a pair of maroon swimming trunks in hand and a towel.
Connor reached out his hand, giving Troye the towel and trunks, "is this okay? Will they fit?" Troye blushed lightly, nodding, he headed towards Connor's bathroom to change.
He came back to see Connor with no shirt on, only in his black skinny jeans, his toned chest showing out in the open. Troye didn't realize that he was staring until Connor started laughing. Troye felt his cheeks burn as they turned a light shade of red.
"u-uh I'm s-sorry" Troye stuttered, playing with the bracelet on his wrist.
"It's done don't worry," Connor chuckled, grabbing a towel for himself, "it's cute"
Troyes head snapped in the direction that Connor was, "w-what's cute?"
Connor turned around, walking closer towards Troye, "when you stutter and when you blush"
Troye felt his cheeks heat up again. Troye picked up his towel and headed for the door, "Can we just go into the pool now" Connor laughed, following Troye downstairs.
Connor led Troye to the backyard, Connor quickly placed his towel on the ground, quickly jumping into the cold water.
Troye gasped as he watched Connor plunge into the water, Troye walked to the stairs that led into the pool, taking one step at a time. Connor swam towards Troye and splashed him.
"No Connor! Stop!" Troye whined turning his back to Connor.
Connor laughed, "Hurry up, come in already it's not that cold" Troye shook his head.
Connor smirked as he swam closer to the Australian. Connor quickly picked Troye up, Troye squirming in his grasp, and chucked him into the water, Troye went under for a second or two, before coming up from underwater.
"Connorrrr" Troye whined, pushing his now wet curls out of his face.

After swimming in the pool for an hour or two, the two boys go back up to Connor's room to dry off. Connor dropped his towel on his floor and made his way to his closet, "want some dry clothes?" Troye nodded, drying his body off.
Connor came back with a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. Troye grabbed the clothes from Connor and went into the washroom, to change.
Connor threw on a shirt and some pants, getting onto his bed and laying down, with his back leaned up against the headboard. Troye's phone sat near Connor's legs.
Troye's phone buzzed, Connor looked over to see a text message notification.
His phone went off a couple of times, Connor couldn't control the urge to look, so he leaned over to look at the messages.
From: Matthew (from the party),
Hey, I know we haven't talked since the party but I was wondering if you'd like to hang out.

Maybe we could go on that date you were talking about the night of the party.
From: Matthew (from the party),

A pit in Connor's stomach began to boil.
