Sarada POV
Boruto and I walked together for about eight minutes in complete silence. That was until I noticed that he had made a wrong turn.

"Oi! Boruto! Where are you going?" I asked. He had no response so I tried to talk to him again. "Boru-" I was interrupted by Boruto's hand cupped over my mouth. "You will see when we get there." He whispered to me.

"But, Aunt Hinata told us that she didn't want us to be walking alone in the dark." Boruto ignored me and continued to walk beside me without saying a word. After that, we continued to walk in silence until I saw that we were at my favorite place in all of Konoha. The beautiful cherry blossom tree.

I stood in awe as I stared at the tree. I was broken out of my trance when I felt Boruto hug my waist from behind. He then placed his head on my shoulder.

"Sarada", He whispered into my ear. "Yes, Boruto?" I asked.

"I know that we kiss often and do romantic things that couples do but... I have never actually asked you to be my girlfriend, have I?" I already knew where this was going and my heart began to pound out of my chest. He placed his hands on the side of my waist and spun me around so that I could face him.

Our eyes made contact with each other and Boruto took ahold of my hands, intertwining his fingers with mine. "I, Boruto Uzumaki, want to know if you, Sarada Uchiha, would like to be my girlfriend." I was trying to get words to come out of my mouth but no matter how much I tried, nothing came out. I was breath taken.

Boruto and I never broke eye contact. I stared for so long that I could see the reflection of the cherry blossom tree in his eyes. After a minute had passed, he continued to say, "If you say yes, I promise to love you, to protect you, to hold you, to be there for you, to cherish you, to spoil you, and to never let you go. You will be mine and mine only."

I felt tears form in my eyes and I wrapped my arms around his neck as I jumped onto him. "Yes! Yes! Of course!" Boruto held me tight and spun me around. I jumped down from his arms. I reached my hand out to him and said, "Shall we?" He took my hand and replied, "We shall."

We walked into my apartment and he said, "Where will I be sleeping, Uchiha?" I rolled my eyes at the name he called me and led him into my room.

"Are you sure? We won't get in trouble for this?" He asked. "Both of my parents approve of you. And besides, I think that we both deserve a little alone time together." Boruto smirked at me and followed me into my room.

He closed the door behind him and we both sat down on my bed. "Sarada... I've been wanting to do something with you for a while now. I just want to ask if I have permission."

I gave him a confused look and asked, "What is it?" He leaned in towards the side of my face and whispered it into my ear.

My entire face went red and I stared at him in shock. "B-But we don't have to if you don't want to..." He said. I shook my head with my eyes closed and gave him a nervous smile.

I looked down at my feet and then looked back up at Boruto before saying, "I just... I want to show you something first." He smiled and said, "And what is that?" I leaned into his ear and whispered, "Close your eyes." Surprisingly, he did as I told him to. I stood up and stepped away from the bed. I began to unzip the back of my dress and it dropped to the floor.

Boruto POV
I had my eyes closed and I felt the bed shift as Sarada stood up. I heard her heels walk to the middle of the room. I didn't know what was happening until I heard the sound of a zipper. Then, I heard something touch the floor.

"Open your eyes." Sarada said. I opened them and as soon as I did that, I saw something that caused my entire face to go red. Sarada's face got red as well and I stood up. "So... what do you think?" She asked nervously.

"You're beautiful, Sarada. In every way possible. I love everything about you. And... your body is just... it blows me away." She smiles at me and takes her heels off, making her height decrease. I grabbed the bottom of my plain white t shirt and pulled it over my head, leaving me shirtless.

I then pulled off my joggers and my shoes, leaving Sarada and I both naked. But not completely naked because we still had on our undergarments.

I lifted Sarada up and gently placed her on the bed. I heard her breathing get heavier and got worried. "Are you okay? It's alright if you aren't ready. We don't have to-" I was interrupted by Sarada's lips clashing against mine. "I don't know." She whispered.

If she is unsure, then I won't go through with this. I can wait. I will wait for her. Until the day that she tells me that she is positive about doing this, I will wait for her.

I stared deeply into her eyes and gave her a warm smile. "It's okay", I said as I kissed her forehead. I got up from the bed and put my joggers back on.

"Boruto, wait." Sarada said to me. I turned around to see Sarada still sitting on the bed. "I..." She began to say. She stood up and walked up to me. I was confused. Once she approached me, she looked up at me and reached her hand to my face. She moved her hand towards my forehead and poked me with her middle and index finger.

I've seen Sasuke-san do that exact same thing to Sarada and Aunt Sakura once or twice but I have no idea what it means. Maybe something special?

Sarada and I smiled at each other and I went over to her closet. I rummaged through her drawers until I found an oversized graphic t shirt and a pair of shorts that she wears often. I walked out of the closet and handed the clothes to Sarada.

"Thank you, Boruto." She said with a smile on her face. I was about to walk out of her room so that she could change in private but I heard Sarada call my name.

"You don't have to leave the room. Really, it's okay." I looked back at her and left the room anyways. It seemed respectful. I also plan on putting my shirt back on and sleeping on the living room couch. We just made it official today and there is no need to rush things.

I walked into the kitchen to get a snack and I heard Sarada walked out of the room. She walked over to me and wrapped her arms around me. "What's this for?" I asked innocently. "Nothing. Just thought that you needed a hug." She replied.

Sarada and I had a bowl of cereal together. She got Fruity Pebbles while I got Frosted Flakes. She helped me set up my sleeping spot on the couch and we watched her favorite movie (The Twilight Saga) before she had to leave me for the night.

After only an hour of watching the movie, Sarada fell asleep with her head on my shoulder. I paused the movie and carefully picked her up, holding her in my arms. It wasn't a hard task since Sarada isn't heavy at all and I placed her in her bed.

It would have been too difficult to untuck her covers to put Sarada underneath them so I had to lay her down over the blanket. I knew that she would be cold so I took my blanket that I was supposed to sleep with and placed it over Sarada, tucking her in.

I've slept in much worse conditions so I think that I will be alright. Plus, I still had a pretty thick sheet to sleep with.
