I like your story and keep checking weekly updates. It's really good, well-balanced and quite realistic. Thank for your job.
Sasuke has been for so long in the focus of attention and action that I feel it's time or some Naruto's 'upgrade'. He unwillingly took on a home pet role, someone "to stick around", a watcher. And he's aware of it : "Naruto had done what he could to help, keeping the house tidy and backing Sasuke up emotionally. Hell, he couldn't even cook for Sasuke. Any attempts at doing so just caused more hassle if anything. But these efforts could only go so far. It seemed so feeble".
And now he's "taking control" , owning Sasuke. As if he could do anything for him except for satisfying his emotional and sexual needs. In Uchiha's current situation, it's clearly not enough. This "protector's" role doesn't suit Naruto a one bit. In their relationship true feelings and sincere words are mixed with unadequate means, good but unrealistic intentions. So good, so empty.
Naruto keeps asking Sasuke about the future of their relationship. But what about his own future? Without some certainty, some perspective for himself, what can he hope for two of them?
He's taken what can't be his to hold and protect. I think it was a mistake. What's worse, he's used the opportunity and he knew it.

Of course, I was intrigued by these lines, a hint: "There was something more Naruto had wanted to say. Perhaps there was another way he could help. It was risky, yes, but if Sasuke was willing to go this far for his brother… He would discuss this with Sasuke later. He'd wait until Sasuke was in a less fragile state of mind before making any decisions". I wonder what this "another way" is. Hope it can be of some practical use to Sasuke.

Almost had a heart attache reading the part where they Sasuke found Itachi unconscious in the bathroom. But I'm amazed how Sasuke was able to keep it all together, remaining cool, calm and collected at such situation. I hope Itachi will be all right after the surgery. He just can't die. If he does, what will happen to Sasuke and Naruto then? I hope they can get money some other way. I don't like the thought of Sasuke relying on Kabuto's 'connections'.

While I like your story, I'm starting to get a tad bit annoyed with Naruto. All he seems to do is eat (like a pig none the less) and play video games all day.

I hope he will eventually help Sasuke raise money or do something more productive than be a freeloader. He knows how low on funds they are but he doesn't seem to care...

He could easily look for a job or just help out during the paper root, he's filled out and doesn't look like an underfed homeless person anymore.

Okay, I love your story and the interactions between characters. Your suspense is done well and highly addictive. I've been reading for some time (sorry, for not posting sooner).

The only thing bugging me is about the money for the surgery. Which country is this in? If it's in US, then why do they need the money prior? You can't be denied medical treatment based on lack of insurance. Surgery can be pushed back maybe but unlikely given the rate the tumor is growing. Hospitals will make payment plans based on income during cases of high-price medical expenses. With the start of Sasuke's loan and financial aide paperwork a the remaining chunk would likely be forgiven if Itachi explained his job-situation properly. This probably only bugs me because I've messed with hospital red-tape through my job though. Most people don't know the rights and laws concerning medical. So they get lost in the system or never ask for help and end up with creditors who are less forgiving. End rant.

Anyhoo, I love the tenderness between the two in this chapter. It seems like calm-before-the-storm. I'm guessing the drugs and Naruto will be found out with the worst of timing. Itachi will probably not care that Naruto is living there under normal circumstances. So in order to have an effect, I feel you are probably going to have him be associated with the drugs via the bad timing.

Sorry, for my rambling thoughts. Really love this story and the realness put into each chapter. Happy Writing!
