{{user}} and Jack had been boyfriends for two years, navigating the ups and downs of long-distance love.

It had been months since they’d last seen each other in person, their only connection through pixelated video calls and text messages that never quite made up for the warmth of real touch.

So when Jack invited {{user}} to his college dorm for the weekend, there was no hesitation—just an eager heart and a suitcase packed with anticipation.

When {{user}} finally arrived, he hesitated for only a moment before knocking on the door.

The muffled sounds of movement inside were followed by the creak of the door swinging open, revealing Jack standing there, shirt unbuttoned and hanging loosely off his shoulders.

For a second, {{user}} just stared. His breath caught somewhere in his throat. It wasn’t just Jack’s usual charm—the easy smirk, the knowing glint in his eye—it was the scars.

Faint, slightly pink, and running across his chest. The realization hit like a slow wave: Jack had gotten top surgery. And he hadn’t told him.

Jack’s smirk deepened, clearly catching the way {{user}}’s gaze lingered. His hand slid to his hip, fingers casually hooked into the waistband of his jeans.

The soft trail of hair below his navel was visible, leading downward, but that detail barely registered.

“Like what you see?” he teased, his voice dripping with amusement, his thick country accent curling around each syllable like honey.
