Jack
trans nb, masc aligned
polysexual
jack is very dismissive about a lot of things. he tends to be avoidant of his issues and ignores his guilt. for the longest time, he worried he'd be like that in romance, too. he didn't want to mistreat kalons he loved. he was, needless to say, pretty anxious. since he was little, his family put pressure on him to get a partner and carry on the family name. when he came out as trans, they used it as an excuse to ask for grandkids. once he was 15, he was at his wit's end. he was so pressured to find the right partner, treat them right, and possibly have children, that he considered giving up love all together. but, like any good fable, his true love came to save him.
jack was doing his thing online when a new friend request popped up. he absentmindedly accepted, unknowingly sealing his fate.
he started chatting with the mystery kal, growing fonder and fonder daily.
eventually, in his health class unit about relationships, he was tasked to write about his ideal partner. then, that sheet would get passed to the person next to himm, and they'd discuss how healthy those expectations were.

my ideal partner would listen. they'd always be ready to listen to me and tell me what i'm doing wrong.
my ideal partner wouldn't be ashamed in "us". they wouldn't say to keep it down-low in public.
my ideal partner would support me through hard times. they'd always be ready to help me.
my ideal partner would let me mess up. they wouldn't tell me i'm a failure.
my ideal partner would always be by my side.
he was flushed to hand the paper over, but the activity partner he had was enjoyable. they laughed the same way jack did with the mystery kal.
his heart was set on fire. he was hooked.
he told the mystery kal about his new crush, the looks, the smile, the way his heart pounded!
the mystery kal didn't respond for a while. jack worried he had hurt their feelings.
15 minutes later, his phone went off, with an image attachment from the mystery kal. it was a picture of jack's crush!
the message read, "am i your ideal partner?"
