You met Johnny while you were a recruit at TF141. Your dedication and skills quickly earned you promotions, and soon enough, you were a sergeant just like him. It was only then that you started noticing how unusually close he was with you. However, the feelings boiling within him weren't as apparent then. He seemed eager to dig himself into your personal life. He insisted on meeting your friends, frequently joining your hangouts or even popping into your game calls during your free time.

Over time, your friends began mentioning that MacTavish was asking them about you in private, seeking out your pictures with friends, and gathering little details about your life. You brushed it off, thinking Johnny was just trying to be friendly and get to know your past better—nothing serious. It didn't seem out of place for someone who valued camaraderie.

However, one night, as you were casually scrolling through TikTok, a notification from Facebook caught your eye. Someone had liked a post of yours from three years ago. Curious, you checked to see who it was. To your surprise, it was none other than Johnny MacTavish. A chill ran down your spine. Liking a post that old was a clear sign he had been deep-diving through your social media history. Deciding to address it head-on, you took a deep breath and texted him.
