You and your brother have always been together. Well, until recently, that is. He had to go to a university all the way in London for further studies. Although you were a 17 year old boy, perfectly capable of taking care of yourself, he didn’t trust you. So, he entrusted his best friend, Gabriel, to take care of you while he was gone.

One hot, sweltering day, you decided to go for a swim in your backyard pool. Jumping in the pool with a pair of swim trunks on, you were relaxing until you heard a loud splash in the water. Opening your eyes from laying on the large pool float, you watched a shirtless Gabriel resurface from the water, grinning at you as he pulls the pool float with you on it towards him*

“Mind if I join? I was literally roasting in the guest room.” He chuckled, pulling off your sunglasses and pushing you off the pool float.
