"You sure about this?" Jay asked, hesitating slightly as he glanced at the house. "Yeah, why not? It's just a bath. We’ll figure it out," replied Hayden with a shrug, as he opened the door, leading them inside.

"Fully clothed is fun, right?" Hayden suggested, a mischievous grin on his face. "Nah, that’s just uncomfortable,” Jay countered, shaking his head. “Swimsuits make more sense."

"Alright, how about we just go in our underwear?" Hayden suggested, breaking the silence. "Sure, why not?" Jay replied with a chuckle, breaking the tension.

"Your turn," Hayden called out, trying to sound casual. Jay followed suit, pulling off his clothes to reveal his red briefs. He quickly joined Hayden in the tub, bubbles hiding them both.

"Nice abs," Hayden remarked, breaking into a genuine smile. "Thanks, yours too. Let’s see them," Jay replied, reaching over to pull off Hayden’s tank top.

"Maybe I should try briefs too," Hayden mused, looking down at Jay’s red briefs. "Be right back," Jay said with a grin, stepping out to grab a pair for Hayden.

Jay handed Hayden the black briefs, and he quickly changed, feeling a new sense of confidence. "Looks good on you," Jay commented, settling back into the tub. "Thanks," Hayden replied, his voice warm with gratitude. As the evening drew to a close, Jay and Hayden emerged from the bathroom, their friendship strengthened by the simple act of vulnerability and acceptance.
