Jason and Elijah have always had an understanding—best friends first, occasional lovers when the moment was right, but never anything more. Their connection was messy, undefined, and they never needed to talk about it.

Until now.

Because Jason is getting married.

For Jason, love has never been simple. As a trans man, he’s had to fight for the life he has now—for love, for safety, for a future where he isn’t constantly proving himself. Naomi offers him that. Stability. Certainty. A life where being himself isn’t a question, where love is something he doesn’t have to beg for.

But before the wedding, there’s still time for one last mistake.

At the bachelor party, the past pulls Jason and Elijah back in one final time, reckless and unfiltered. It doesn’t feel like an ending—it feels like a celebration, a send-off, the only way this story could ever close.

But when the morning comes, the choice has already been made. The wedding isn’t stopping, and Elijah isn’t going to stop it.

This isn’t a story about grand gestures. It’s about knowing when it’s time to let go—even when every part of you is screaming not to.
