    Summary

    When noble sacrifice curdles into resentment, when gratitude becomes a cage, when love isn't enough.

    Sasuke Uchiha was sixteen when his family disowned him. Seventeen when Naruto Uzumaki found him half-dead in an alley and brought him home. What they built after was real. Messy, tender, world-altering. The kind of love you survive on.

    Nine years later, that love is rotting.

    Naruto is a first-year medical resident working himself into the ground. Sasuke is drowning in a marriage held together by debt, guilt, and everything he gave up to keep Naruto's dream alive. Neither of them will say it out loud, but they are already breaking.

    Then Kakashi Hatake makes an offer.

    Six months. Sasuke moves in with him. Full access to a private studio, the art world, and the life Sasuke abandoned. Every dollar of their debt erased. Naruto's nonprofit funded. Sasuke's future restored.

    The catch: both men have to agree. And Sasuke has to be his.

    The proposal is simple. What comes after won't be.
