**Taking the Plunge**
Part 7
The warm sunshine beat down on the backyard as Ron and Jason made their way to the pool, the sound of laughter and splashing growing louder with each step. Ron glanced back at Jason, who was walking beside him, still looking a bit hesitant. "Hey, don't worry, I've got you," Ron said with a reassuring smile. As they approached the pool, Jason could see that the others were already having a blast, swimming and playing in the water. Silky was doing cannonballs off the side, while Adapt and Lacy were trying to splash each other. Max was floating on his back, looking like he was enjoying a relaxing afternoon. Ron led Jason to the edge of the pool and then stopped, turning to face him. "Okay, now it's your turn to get in," Ron said, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Just, uh, get changed, and I'll wait here." Jason looked down at himself, still wearing his t-shirt and shorts. He took a deep breath and began to peel off his clothes, feeling a bit self-conscious. Ron waited patiently, watching as Jason revealed his underwear-clad body. As Jason was finally down to just his underwear, Ron's eyes widened slightly, and he felt a slight pang of surprise. Jason, however, didn't notice Ron's reaction and instead felt a surge of embarrassment. He assumed that the others would think he was fat and ugly, and he started to feel uncomfortable again. But as Ron led him to the pool, he didn't notice that the others had fallen silent, their eyes fixed on Jason's body. Silky, Adapt, Lacy, and Max were all staring at him, taking in his physique. His plump thighs and hips, his thin waist, and his pretty pink nipples all seemed to be captivating them. Even Ron couldn't help but be distracted by his best friend's body, his eyes lingering on Jason's fair white skin. The pool area was quiet for a moment, the only sound the gentle lapping of the water against the sides of the pool. Jason, still unaware of the effect he was having on the others, started to feel more and more uncomfortable. He shifted his weight from one foot to the other, feeling like he was on display. But then Ron's focus snapped back to the present, and he grinned mischievously at Jason. "Time to take the plunge," he said, and with that, he pushed Jason into the pool. The cool water enveloped Jason, and he let out a surprised yelp as he sank beneath the surface. Ron laughed and followed him in, splashing him and sending him bobbing up to the surface. The others quickly joined in, and soon the pool was filled with the sound of laughter and splashing once again. As Jason surfaced, he looked around, still feeling a bit bewildered. He had no idea what had just happened, but he was starting to relax, enjoying the cool water and the company of his friends. He glanced at Ron, who was grinning at him, and then at the others, who were all smiling and having a great time. For the first time, Jason felt like he was really part of the group, and it felt amazing.
