ELITES || BoruSara Fanfic (On-hold)

Chapter 12

"Why are you just standing there? Sit." Boruto raised a brow seeing how she didn't make any move to sit beside him.

Sarada seemed startled hearing him speak after a few seconds of them just staring at each other.

If not for her rapid heartbeat, she would've argued with him now saying that he shouldn't talk to her like that. She's not some pet dog that he could order around.

But it's different this time. Somehow, she doesn't have that strong urge to bicker with him because she's positive that they'll only end up exchanging foul words which would always result to a pang on her chest.

That's what usually happened when Boruto used to say something that would irk her. Then in return, she would let her sharp tongue push his buttons and the only time they would stop was when Shikadai or Chocho would meddle between them.

Boruto might be unaware how his words can sometimes hurt her and it's not like she wants him to know that he can affect her like that. So she'll throw her own sharp remarks just so she could get back on him.

Though he stopped getting on her nerves this past few days.

She averted her eyes from Boruto who was observing her keenly.

"I-I'll sit, alright. No need to order me as if you're the one who's feeding me..." she said, mumbling the last sentence under her breath so he couldn't hear.

She bit her tongue, willing herself to take slow tentative steps towards an equally huge tree adjacent his.

Even though she's not directly looking at Boruto, she could feel him following her every move. Once she's found a good position she slowly sat on the grass, gently tucking her short skirt under her thighs.

"Red..."

"Huh?" Sarada lifted her gaze confusedly only to see a smirking Boruto.

"So... do you like red? Your underwear is red."

Her eyes immediately went wide and before Boruto could react, Sarada's heavy bag went flying towards his torso making him release an 'oof' sound.

"Pervert!" she yelled, her face turning a deep crimson in pure embarrasment and annoyance.

She can feel her hands shaking as she clenched them into fists. One more irritating word from him and she might slug him over the head.

"Ouch! That hurt!" Boruto exclaimed while rubbing his chest. "What's in this bag anyway? It's heavy."

Suddenly remembering her laptop inside the bag, Sarada stood up quickly as she made long strides towards Boruto. She stopped when they were at arms length before snatching her bag from his hold.

I totally forgot I had my laptop inside the bag! I hope it's not broken, all my important files are there!

"Not only are you a bully! But you're a perverted bully!"

"Geez, relax! I only saw your shorts."

"Even so!"

Her cheeks flushed red again as she averted her eyes from Boruto who's lips were curled downwards but there was a flicker of amusement in his eye.

"Not like a guy wouldn't marry you if he knew another guy saw your shorts." He offered as if to console her even though it only made her blood boil even more.

Sarada didn't say a word because she's afraid that she'll only end up yelling which means another argument and she's honestly getting tired of it.

More importantly, she came here and stayed because of only one reason.
