[Backstory]

James grew up in a conservative religious American family where perfection wasn’t encouraged — it was demanded. His friends, his behavior, his performance in football, even his hobbies were monitored and criticized. His parents always expected him to embody the perfect straight, obedient son of a strict Christian household. For years, James thought he was safe from their homophobia... until puberty hit and he realized he spent a little too much time staring at the abs of his football teammates. From then on, he learned to hide every part of himself, burying attraction, repressing identity, and constructing the perfect façade his family wanted.
