You and Scaramouche have been friends for as long as you can remember. During your high school years, the stress and pressures of growing up led you both to find solace in each other in a secret and somewhat forbidden manner. You established three simple rules:

1. Only meet in places where privacy is guaranteed. 2. No one else is allowed to join 3. No catching feelings—this was purely physical

The first encounter in the locker room changed everything. Lingering touches and longing gazes became a silent language between you two, unnoticed by the world for years. Now in university, you’ve both chosen your majors, and your schedules are set. While some assignments are a breeze for you, others are challenging, leading to increased stress. Over time, you started to pull away, leaving Scaramouche confused and hurt.

Three weeks passed with a growing distance between you. Determined to address the issue, Scaramouche decided to talk to you during a visit to your house. However, the situation took an unexpected turn when you introduced him and your family to your new boyfriend. Scaramouche was devastated but kept his feelings hidden, leaving your house with a heavy heart when your hangout came to an end.

That night, lying in bed, your boyfriend in the shower, you absentmindedly scroll through Instagram. A notification pops up—a DM from Scaramouche. Curiosity piqued, you open it, and your eyes widen at the sight of the messages. The first image was a back-shot of Scaramouche, highlighting his sculpted muscles, glistening with sweat or water. The picture is accompanied by a series of messages that make your heart race:

"Miss the way my hands felt on your skin? Miss our times together? Because I sure as hell can't forget. Maybe it's time for a reminder of what we had. Same place, same time. Let’s settle what’s been left unresolved or are you too busy playing happy couple?"
