Paper Rings & Broken Hearts

Their marriage is nothing more than a contract, empty and cold. Sasuke finds solace in Sakura, while Hinata drifts toward Kakashi, seeking the warmth she was never given. Bound by duty but longing for something more, they walk the fine line between loyalty and betrayal, unraveling in the arms of those they were never meant to love.SasuHina story.

Surprise, surprise. I decided to post this SasuHinaKaka story even though I know I should be working on Glass Tears. ^^; But here we are. Before you dive in, there are a few things I want to mention:There will be emotional cheating in this story. If that's not something you enjoy reading, I’d recommend skipping this one. There will be heavy emotional infidelity, and some parts might be hard to read. Also, fair warning, you’re probably not going to like Sasuke. Maybe for quite some time. He will be a complete butthole for the first few chapters (or longer, lol). But don’t worry, this is a SasuHina story, and it will end as such. There will be moments between Sasuke and Hinata before things take a turn, but I know some of you will be rooting for Kakashi. Honestly, even as I’m writing this, I have to stop myself from changing my mind and making this KakaHina...which, fun fact, was actually the original plan.This story will be a slow burn...or maybe something just a bit faster than a slow burn. A steady build? A lingering spark? I don’t know, but it’ll take time to unravel. Naruto won’t be featured as much since the main focus will be on Sasuke, Hinata, Kakashi, and Sakura and the messy dynamics between them.I’m not a SasuSaku fan, but there will be moments between them that might (or most definitely will) upset you if you’re here for SasuHina. Trust me when I say it’s all leading somewhere, and yes, this is SasuHina. I feel like I’ll need to remind you all of that, lol.Oh, and for those curious, Hinata and Sasuke are in their early-mid twenties, which means there’s a 15-year age gap between Kakashi and Hinata. This will come up a lot, especially with Mr. Contradicting-and-Jealous Sasuke bringing it up every chance he gets. 🤭Now that all that’s out of the way, I hope you enjoy the first chapter of Paper Rings & Broken Hearts!
