Why and how Tay thought of renting a big party boat was beyond Y/N, but it was an idea that hit out of the blue. Anna was all for it immediatly once it was brought up and got excited to be out on the water again after a long time. She found a babysitter for Navy for the day, so she was completely undisturbed. Y/N on the other hand wasn't sure about going at first, since Anna and Tay were the only people he got to know so far in AEW. Others like Santana and Ortiz, Thunder Rosa, Jake Hager and Brandi and Cody were said to be there as well. And after the Shot Of Brandi episode aired, people had a sudden interest in the young man. Also Anna gave him the good ol' puppy dog eyes to convince Y/N, so now all of them were gathered to have a fun day at sea.

Jake opened a bottle of champagne and once the initial blowout was done, poured everyone a glass full.

Brandi:" To all of us and everyone else in AEW. We wouldn't be the same without any of you around."

Cody:" And with that, let the festivities begin!"

Everyone cheered and sipped from their drink as Ortiz turned up the music a little, just in case anyone felt like dancing. Such days were really fun and a great way to wash off any tension, but by the looks of things Y/N wasn't enjoying himself very much yet, so Anna decided to talk to him.

Anna:" Hey Y/N, ja everything okay?"

Y/N:" Yeah, it's just weird with so many people around. Social butterfly? That's not me."

Anna:" Awww, I know what you mean by that. But you gotta get out of your shell and get to know the others. Even if it's just a little bit."

Y/N:" Do you think they'll like me?"

Santana:" Eyy Gringo, got over here. We wanna see what your hype is about."

Anna:" See? Just take it easy and be yourself. I believe in you."

Y/N:" You owe me for this."

Anna:" Whatever you wish."

Y/N chuckled shortly at that and ruffled Anna's hair before he got up and went over to comminucate with everyone else. The signs of their friendship becoming more with every step definitly made him feel a lot more confident and comfortable. For Anna, it was practically the same as she watched him for a moment. She was really proud of him and the little laugh coming from him after making a joke even brought a smile to her face. She was only surprise by Tay joining her side.

Tay:" Did you give him a confidence boost?"

Anna:" You could call it that. I just want everyone to get along."

Tay:" Looks like Y/N is hitting it off well, if you ask me. Santana and Ortiz already seem to think he's cool."

Anna:" I'm glad to see that. Honestly though, if Y/N does more to me than he,already did, I might have to take him for myself."

Tay:" Ooohhh haha Anna Jay, the predator. Rawr~."

Anna:" Haha C'mon, Tay. You know what I mean. Ever since he came to AEW and I got to know him much better, things have been...developing."

Tay:" Like the couch cuddling?"

Anna:" You caught that?"

Tay:" I did and you looked adorable together. You better put a leash on your amante soon."

Anna:" I have a plan, Tay. All I need is for you to keep it secret. Okay?"

Tay:" Of course. Now tell me!"

Now it was them talking about something very important. Yes, Anna slowly but surely admitted that she had a thing for Y/N and she had it intensely. She just needed to plan out how to actually win him over and confess. And Tay was the perfect partner in crime for it.
---------------------------------------------------------

Some time later with a few drinks in, Y/N decided for himself to take a dip in the water and he was going to do it in a spectacular fashion as he had everyone watch. His feet were already at the edge as he faced everyone before doing a Backflip into the water.

The water was a little cold, but very refreshing and when Y/N got back to the surface, he saw Ortiz typing away at his phone, most surely posting the clip on social media. That was totally fine with him since some funny, dumb or epic moments always found their way out.

Brandi:" That looked great, Y/N!"

Y/N:" Thank you! It's also really nice down here."

Jake:" Let's get it then!"

And with that, Jake, Rosa and Tay also jumped into the clear water to join Y/N while the rest laughed softly. Anna smiled and blew a kiss to Y/N before she went back onto the dance floor section.

Rosa:" So you and Anna? Did you two get 'friendly' with each other yet?"

Y/N:" Hahaha no, we haven't gone that way yet. It's too early for anything like that."

Jake:" We can all tell that you like her though. That's great and I honestly hope you two do become a thing."

Tay:" Knowing that I'm the wing woman in this, I can tell something is on the way."

Y/N raised an eyebrow at that, hearing Tay's thoughts and remembering what they talked about the day after Dynamite. Everything was possible for sure, but Y/N hoped Anna would return the feelings he has for her. The support from Jake and Rosa already helped a lot and with Santana and Ortiz having his back as well, Y/N knew he was in a good place. Soon though they all returned to the boat, climbing onto it one after the other. When it was Y/N's turn though, he got to the last step of the ladder, only for his swim trunks to get caught on something and having his best parts revealed when he got up.

Anna immediatly covered her face and turned away, as did the other guys while Brandi, Rosa and Tay stole the occasional glance at him before he quickly put the trunks back on.

Y/N:" We do not talk about that."

Rosa:" Nice carajo though."

Tay:" Aye, Rosa! Apártate. Él no es para ti."

Rosa:" Sólo estoy jugando. Relajarse."

This started a bit of a heated exchange between the two as Y/N just grabbed a can of soda and downed it quickly to calm himself down. He did Not intend to flash anyone, not like that or in any other way. This was so embarrassing, but they all did their best to let normality return.
