Until Further Notice | You are Mine

Dean Wesley had a plan.

Graduate.
Get a job.
Raise his little brother.

Getting married was never part of it.

After losing everything that should have belonged to him and getting dragged into a legal battle he never asked for, Dean finds himself with only one thing he refuses to lose-

Devin.

His baby brother.

And somehow, the solution turns out to be ridiculous.

Marry his bestfriend.

Ivan Reid-
his childhood enemy, current headache, professional nuisance and unfortunately, the person most willing to stand beside him.

The conditions are simple.

Stay married until the case ends.

Act convincing.

Do not make things weird.

Do not misunderstand.

And absolutely do not forget this is temporary.

Easy.

Except nobody mentioned shared responsibilities, sleepless nights, one clingy baby who already picked his parents, suspicious grandmothers, unnecessary jealousy, accidental domesticity and the very unfortunate discovery that pretending is harder than expected.

Especially when one of them starts wondering-

if this was always temporary...

why does it feel so difficult to imagine the end?
