[✔️]Behind the mask. ~ Boruto x Female reader

Chapter 15

Y/n was at lunch, eating her sandwich. She couldn't remember the last time she ate, biting into it she closed her eyes and mumbled a 'mm'.

"Y/n, you're recovering well." She opened her eyes to look at Cho Cho, and Y/n nodded then smiled. It took few days, in boring ass room just laying days for days but...

She finally recovered, at last. Sometimes she does feel pain, but not as much anymore. Unfortunately, while she was in pain she had to eat and she could move her hands without winching.

Boruto noticed one day, and offered to feed her... Y/n blushed out of embarrassment, like a lot... Boruto noticed obviously and teased her making her brush more.

He was such a tease sometimes, but he can be annoying too. However, he did end up feeding her and at that point Y/n wanted to just jump off of a cliff. Too bad she was in pain and couldn't move much.

But now that all that's over, Boruto has come back to his, oh so beloved Sophie. He is still hanging out with her, yes. He seems to have deeply fallen for her.

Y/n can't do nothing much about it, deals a deal... She knows Sophie won't hesitate to tell everyone the truth. And then her mother will go to jail.

What a weird family she has, but, oh well. Yet Y/n still can't figure out how Sophie found out those things. Maybe she has a spy or someone told her? Who knows.

And why did Sarada and everyone avoid her main question, and that is 'Who started the fire?'. No one was able to answer, just giving each other doubtful glances.

No one answered her question at all. "Yes, I'll be able to do P.E. very soon." Y/n frowned and Cho Cho laughed a little, but she stopped when Y/n didn't laugh with her.

"You hate P.E.?" Cho Cho asked. Who wouldn't hate it? Running in circles for 30 minutes, sweating, doing backflips... What is this, I mean if was important to exercise but for fucks sake...

No one really liked P.E. besides boys. They seem to like it for some random reason. "Don't you hate it?" Y/n asked, looking at Cho Cho with curious gaze.

It wasn't long after that she nodded her head. "Well, a little but we do that often since we're ninjas. But running is the worst ..." Cho Cho sighed, continuing to eat her chips that she was holding in her right hand.

Looking over to Boruto and Sophie's table, Sarada was with them as well but she seemed very uncomfortable as she gazed at Sophie.

Boruto and Sarada were talking but Y/n couldn't really hear anything with all the voices around her. She however, saw that they ended up having an argument once Boruto got up from his seat, his hands on the table as he yelled something at Sarada.

Sarada did the same, getting up as she yelled at him then she turned her head away with a 'hpm!' and began to walk over to sit beside Cho Cho.

"Hey guys." Sarada said, she had a soft gaze but her eyes burned with anger and annoyance still. Cho Cho was watching the scene as well, so she asked Sarada. "What was going on back there?"

Sarada sighed and looked back at Boruto but as Boruto caught her gaze he poked his tongue out. Sarada returned her attention back to them. "He still thinks Sophie changed... I was trying to tell him she is always evil and always will be, but Sophie began to tear up and Boruto yelled at me to go away." Sarada explained, as she started to eat her salad that was in front of her.

(Sorry I had to xD)

Cho Cho sighed, and took another bite of her chips. "Boruto will never see the truth until Sophie gets caught doing something wrong..." Cho Cho mumbled, and Y/n nodded in agreement.

But what can Sophie do wrong? There wasn't much about her personality except being a bitch and beating Y/n up because she loves Boruto.

"One day girls, one day..." Sarada said, continuing to eat her salad. Y/n also bit her sandwich as silence followed them.

...

When class finally finished, she picked up her books but the weight was difficult to carry now, she did somewhat recover but she wasn't fully recovered.

"Hello Y/n. Let me help you." She immediately recognized Mitsuki's voice and nodded, letting him carry it. She rubbed her shoulders and sighed.

"Thanks Mitsuki." Y/n said, and to response Mitsuki only smiled with his usual closed eye smile. She could really feel her shoulders heaving, her body still did hurt somewhat.

But she will recover fully very soon, she was grateful that her friends were helping her when she needed it. They truly were amazing, better friends than Y/n ever had.

But still, they will turn their backs on her one day and leave her in dust, that's what happens every time Y/n has friends.

Once they see you as useless, you have nothing that they want, they leave you as soon as they can.

Walking out of the class, Mitsuki followed behind her and they began to walk upstairs. Y/n still noticed that Mitsuki still after all these months, he still watched Boruto.

She wasn't sure why, but that wasn't her business to ask. Who knows what it is, it could be anything.

When they came to 4th floor, Mitsuki handed Y/n her books. "Thank you Mitsuki, see you later!" Y/n called and Mitsuki only waved in response as he watched her go.

Y/n opened the door with her shoulder, if she tried with her hands the books will fall and they were heavy. She winched in pain slightly but ignored it.

Stepping in, she closed the door with her shoulder which was much easier than opening it from the other side.

She turned to put her books on the desk but she was surprised to see Boruto playing his switch while laying on the bed. "Boruto?" Y/n asked, hearing his name Boruto raised his head to gaze at Y/n.

He looked bored by the look of it. "Hm?" He hummed, watching her. "Shouldn't you be with Sophie?" Y/n asked. He was talking that he has to see Sophie today so they could meet.

Boruto shrugged. "She said she's busy." Boruto said, then he resumed his game and Y/n could hear that it's probably let's go eevee or pikachu, since she watched him play it. He even let her play it on his switch.

"It's a little cold today." Y/n said, noticing. It was cold all day long, because of sudden change of wind they didn't expect, it will take a while until it's warm again, but it'll get warm eventually.

"It will get warmer soon." Boruto mentioned, continuing to play his switch. Y/n shuddered with coldness, it was getting to her. She stepped to her bed and let the blanket cover her.

Looking over to Boruto, he was Focused on his switch still.

Even after few minutes, Y/n was still shivering. It was getting colder and colder, not warmer. She grinded her teeth, and let out a little whimper because of cold.

Even Boruto was shivering a little, but rarely. He was playing his switch all day now, well, it was still day but whatever.

She heard a sound, peering up from her blanket she saw Boruto got up on his feet and walked over to her. "W-what are y-you doing?" Y/n asked, stuttering as she let out another whimper.

"You won't stop shivering..." Boruto sighed, and with that he laid down beside her and pulled under the cover as well, making Y/n blush.

He pulled her closer to him, resting his hand around her thighs. She was facing his shoulder, his head resting on top of hers as he hugged her tightly.

Y/n hugged him back, she could already feel the warmness when she was around him. Closing her eyes, she started to relax. "Better?" She could hear Boruto chuckle softly and Y/n nodded her head a little.

"Yes..." She said, enjoying the moment in his arms. She could feel her shivers die down, replaced by warmness of his body.

She really wished she could kiss him and make him hers, but it wasn't possible. All he loves and sees is Sophie. Y/n warped her arms around him as well, she could feel herself falling asleep.

Maybe it was never meant to be, maybe he doesn't really like her. But then, why did he almost kiss her at the party? Y/n was unable to answer any question, she knew there was no answer.

She could feel herself fading away, she didn't move and accepted the darkness as she slept soundly.
