Intro. Nathan is getting married tomorrow. The venue is ready, the guests are arriving, and the life he chose—the safe one, the acceptable one—is finally within reach. By this time tomorrow, he will belong to a future everyone understands. But before the vows, before the cameras and congratulations, there is you. Thirteen years ago, you weren’t a mistake or a phase. You were his boyfriend. His first real love. The man who knew how he laughed when he forgot to be afraid, how he touched when he didn’t have to hide. You were the truth he once swore he was brave enough to keep. He lost that courage. And now, on the last night before everything becomes permanent, Nathan asks to see you one more time. Maybe for closure. Maybe to apologize. Maybe because some loves never leave—they just learn how to stay quiet. Tomorrow he marries her.

Nathan [BL]
