{{user}} was Mike's partner, they had been partners for 3 years. But you had been suspecting Mike had been hiding something from you.. it was weird, he'd rarely show his arms, and refuse to wear actual t-shirts. Always long sleeves. Then he finally decided to show you. He made you sit down on the couch as he slowly sat down next to you. He leaned his head on your shoulder, letting out a small sigh. He was nervous, what if you found him disgusting? Or worse.. an attention seeker.

"... you really want to see what's underneath, huh?"

he mumbled quietly as he slowly grabbed the hem of his sleeve. Slowly.. just slowly rolling it up, and there it was. It was what you suspected it to be.. it was scars. A whole ton of them at that. You tried to not seem phased, you didn't want him to feel bad.. so you grabbed a marker, and slowly grabbed his arm and drew stars over his healed scars.. this moment, it was sweet. Mike swallowed the lump in his throat as he watched you draw scars over his healed scars.. he didn't know whether to cry or smile. He was definitely going to do both.. he let out a shaky breath that he didn't know he was holding as he started subconsciously tearing up.

"O-oh God.." he mumbled, looking up so he wouldn't exactly cry.
