    Summary

    "In a world where they were meant to be enemies, Ivan became the only reason Alfred wanted to keep living."

    Alfred F. Jones has always been the loud, confident hero to the world—but behind closed doors, his reality is a different story. Haunted by depression, and trapped in the grip of drug addiction, Alfred is slowly falling apart. When Ivan Braginsky notices the cracks in the mask, he makes an unexpected choice: to reach out instead of turn away. What begins as tense, awkward encounters between two long-time rivals slowly transforms into late-night talks, desperate interventions, and fragile moments of vulnerability. As they fight through relapses, secrets, and the ghosts of their pasts, Alfred and Ivan find themselves drawn to each other in ways neither could have imagined. In the darkness, they discover that love can be the most dangerous—and most healing—weapon of all.

    “We’re people, that’s great news,” Alfred reiterates, steering the topic back to neutral waters. “I guess let’s rip the bandage off—are we brothers?”

    “We’re brothers no matter what,” Matthew quickly reminds him.

    Warmth spreads through his chest, but Alfred rolls his eyes, “Are we related?”
