I kissed Ben's cheek and smiled.
"Elf twink." I laughed.

(deleted once but back again for clown...
I have literally been waiting to write this chapter all weekend, and I finally get to do it. So, without any further delays, I present to you... chapter 9. ____________________________________ *Toby's POV* There's something that Ben and I have started to notice about Jeff here recently. -And we think that he might have a crush on E.J. from what we've seen.
You want proof? Do you remember when Jeff and I switched bodies? When I woke up,there was a life-sized body pillow of Jack. We never thought to question it though. But since Jeff is our friend (kind of), we're going to confront him about it today and help him.
I gave Ben a quick nod and headed out of the bedroom to find Jeffrey.
I made my way into the living room and spotted Jeff watching TV on the sofa.
"Jeff, could you come here for a second please?" I said, giving him the nod. (DUN DUNN DUNNN)He gave me a confused look, but crawled off of the sofa anyways.
"What?" He asked with annoyance in his voice.
I didn't respond, instead I grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him up the stairs, rounding then corner and shoving him into my room.
"Alright Jeffrey. Talk." Ben said in his best interrogation voice.
Jeff's facial expression went from angry to utterly confused.
"Talk about what?" He asked, seemingly interested now.
Ben and I looked at each other, then back at Jeff.
"About your crush, Jeffrey." We said in sync.
His face began to turn a pink shade as he stumbled over his own words.
"C-crush? What do you mean? I don't have a crush. Pffffttt." He said and forced a laugh at the end.
Ben rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Jeff, child, we know all of your secrets. There's no need to lie." He said comfortingly, reaching up to pat Jeff's shoulder.
"Oh really? Then who is my 'crush'?" He questioned. Air quoting the word crush.
"You're crushing on Jack, son." Ben replied.
Jeff's breathing hitched and he smiled nervously.
"How would you know?" He huffed in Ben's face.
This is fun to watch.
"Because you and I switched bodies Jeffy. Do you know what I woke up face-to-face with that morning? An E.J. body pillow." I stated.
He let out a sigh of defeat.
"So? Why do you guys care?" He asked as he tried to calm himself.
"Because, Jeff, you are our son." Ben said with a grin.
"Okay, I may be an idiot sometimes, but that's a lie." He rolled his eyes.
"No but really, we want to help." I whispered.
Little does he know, I was recording the audio this whole time, and I was going to plant my phone in E.J.'s room and play it.
"Hmm, let me think...um...hell no." The apparent flustered Jeff said, storming out of the room.
Ben and I looked at each other and winked.
• Time Skip •
Finally, it was time to go reveal Jeff's secret.
Just so you know, we were forced to wait before engaging the plan, because Jackaboi locks his door and stays in his room until precisely 6:34 PM. Why? Because one of his all-time favorite romantic movies is streamed on TV at 6:32, giving him two minutes to get snacks and run back to his room. Right now it is 6:31 PM and I'm on my way to the target's room.
I sneakily made my way past Jeff, who was having a cat-nap on the floor. I guess he really just wants to be a cat some days.
I glanced at the clock.
6:32 PM.
Just then, Jack came running out of his room and straight to the kitchen, just as we planned.
I made a break for it and entered Jack's room, throwing my phone under his bed, the volume all the way up, and crawled under to join it.
Two minutes later, he came into the room with an arm load of snacks.
He threw them onto the bed and plopped himself down.
"Okay, here we go!" He said, watching the intro of the movie.
I clicked 'play' on the audio and listened for a reaction.
Jack muted his movie in confusion.
"The hell..?" He whispered.
"Just listen." I said. I was trying my hardest not to laugh.
After the audio ended, E.J. got up from his bed and and peered underneath.
"Hiiii Jackie." I smiled innocently.
"Where's Jeff?" He asked.
Score!
I pointed down the hall and replied, "In the living room floor."
"Thanks Tobes." He said with a thumbs up, leaving the room.
Toby and Ben, professional matchmakers. ____________________________________ *Ben's POV* I guess Toby was successful. E.J. had come out of his room and was talking to Jeff. Eavesdropping-mode activated.
"Soooo, I heard some rumors recently." Jack said.
Jeff's eyes met mine with a glare.
"About what?" He asked slowly.
"This." Jack whispered, quickly lifting his mask and giving Jeff a quick peck on the cheek.
Jeff giggled before passing out.
You can't say we didn't try.
"So, does that mean you and Jeff are a thing now?" I asked, stepping out of my hiding spot with a smirk.
Jack turned slightly.
"Nah. I was just hoping this would buy me some time to run away." He replied, glancing back down at Jeff's unconscious body.
"Well you better start running." I said, my smirk growing into a mischevious grin.
"Right." He nodded, and started running as fast as he could in the opposite direction.
Poor Jeff. ____________________________________ *End of Chapter 9* ____________________________________ I personally love this chapter, a lot actually. But I just realized how much less there is of Toby and Ben time, so the next chapter will be for those two love-birds.
