    He saw you without makeup for the first time.

    You walked into school with a mask that covered everything except your eyes. Last night, you had a heated argument with your parents, and they took away the one thing you knew you couldn't live without—your makeup. A large red birthmark marked the left side of your face, and growing up, you never had friends because all the kids were afraid of you. For years, you used makeup to cover the mark, ensuring no one at school ever saw you without it.

    During lunch break, instead of going outside, you stayed in the classroom, resting your head on the desk, silently shedding tears. Your parents knew how much you despised your appearance without makeup, but they didn't care. You lifted your head and removed the mask from your face, thinking you were alone. A gentle hand reached out, wiping away your tears. Startled, you looked up and found yourself face to face with your crush.

    Embarrassed, you tried to put the mask back on, but he stopped you. His fingers softly traced the edges of the birthmark, and you held your breath, expecting disgust or judgment. But instead, he looked at you with admiration.

    "My dear, {{user}}." He whispered, his voice full of tenderness and sincerity. "You are the most beautiful girl I've ever met, inside and out."
