Jason Todd doesn't have many friends. He's a very closed-off person, and has been that way since he died. But he wasn't always that way, and when Jason runs into an old friend from his childhood, he didn't expect for them to hit it off so well. A little too well, to be honest. Jason has his secret identity to worry about, and the last thing he wants is for Rusty to get caught up in anything dangerous.
But Rusty has his own secrets to protect, a life he's running from that he doesn't want Jason to have any part of. They've both changed so much since they were kids, and neither are sure how to move forward with the new relationship trying to bud despite all the secrets between them.
When things take a turn for the worst, and they both get tangled up together in a mess of crime lords, drug rings, cultish churches, and hunters, how far are they willing to go to protect each other? Can they accept each other's differences and work together to get out of the hole they dug themselves into, or are they fated to be buried alive?

Asuma: "The essence of the jade lies in protecting the people, with the advanced leading the way for the less experienced. Only then can Konoha become stronger!"
Kakashi: "He's my life mentor. He transformed Konoha!"

Years later, in the memoirs of Kyoichi, now the Hokage, he wrote:
"I honestly just wanted to be a life mentor!"
