it was reaching lunchtime and sky was waiting by the front door to let in the guests. negan was stood by the barbecue with an apron over casual white shirt and shorts talking to simon who was already sipping a bit of alcohol. i was chilling with lucio, our legs dipped into the pool as we talked.

it was a nice summer day, the sun was super hot and we were having a barbecue. there were going to be at least ten guests, including us. it was a lot of people. but since it was early at the moment, it was calm. sky turned to me and lucio, leaning on the doorframe.

"boys, go put on your swimming shorts." she chuckled.

we both sprinted to our rooms, getting dressed quick as possible. negan walked over to sky, giving her a peck on the lips. she smiled at him and he returned the look.

"bets on the first person?" simon yelled from across the garden.

"dwight. always dwight." negan called back, both men laughing.

lucio zoomed outside, almost bouncing while on the edge of the pool, waiting. a few seconds after, i came out the door with a towel slung on my shoulder.

"took long enough!" lucio chirped.

we stuck our tongues out at each other while giggling. while sky was distracted opening the door for people, lucio tried pushing me in but i grabbed a hold onto him, ending up in both of us falling in.

"careful, boys." negan called out.

me and lucio splashed each other for a good five minutes as guests piled in. dwight was the first to enter through the garden door. he sat on the relaxing chair beside the pool and joked around with simon. jamison and mako were here too, mako keeping him away from the barbecue. i wiggled my brows at lucio as hana stepped through, already in costume. he playfully punched my shoulder and leaped on me.

"h-hello, hana." lucio stuttered as she sat as we did before, legs in the water.

"hey, frog boy!" she giggled back.

i swam to the other side where simon, negan and dwight were. sky was busy getting out the salads, drinks and plates on the tables. negan looked down at me and smiled.

"you alright?" he asked.

"yeah! when are you gonna join in?" i grinned.

"old man's doing the barbie," simon interrupted. "gimme a minute, i'll be in."

i cleared my throat from nervousness and nodded, followed by a gentle "aight". sky handed negan some burgers, sausages and kebabs to put on there later. simon finished his drink and put it down on the glass table beside him. he stood and made his way into the house. jamison was huffing while narrowing his eyes and watching him go past. i couldn't see but i'm positive mako rolled his eyes behind the mask.

me and lucio kept playing around, him hopping onto my back and then doing contests to see who could hold their breath the longest. during our last little contest, i pulled back up from the water and panted. i was met with simon standing in front of me in shorts. i choked.
