ELITES || BoruSara Fanfic (On-hold)

Chapter 28

"Let's not tell anyone yet," Sarada whispered thoughtfully as she watched the way Boruto play with her much smaller and slender hand.

Hearing this, the blond momentarily stopped to lift his gaze at her but was quick to return to drawing abstract lines on her palm.

"So you want to keep us a secret?" He asked, a ghost of a smile on his lips, stealing glances to see her face.

His tone clearly laced with amusement.

Sarada's chest fluttered at the idea of them — being in a secret relationship— or perhaps just at the mere idea of them finally having a romantic relationship in the first place!

That's right. Just after her indirect confession, Boruto asked her — more like declared that he's now her boyfriend.

Well, she was about to voice out her disapproval seeing how quickly things have turned out but then again wouldn't their relationship eventually end up like this anyways?

So why bother delaying things with Boruto when she lowkey wants to be his girlfriend too.

"I thought you said Sumire asked you to give her a month?" Dark brows raised slightly in confusion, her mind replaying what Boruto told her a few minutes ago.

"She did," he replied in a matter of fact tone. "But now that I have a girlfriend, I don't think I should continue to indulge her idea of me spending time with her for a whole month, just to hopefully change my mind about the engagement."

Sarada jutted her lips slightly in deep thought.

"What's wrong?" Boruto asked.

"Hmm?" Shifting her head so she could face him, Sarada's breath hitched not expecting him to be so close to her face.

"What—Are you asking me for a kiss?"

Wide eyed and blushing, Sarada didn't think twice, knocking Boruto's head with her closed fist.

"Not that you idiot!" She exclaimed in embarrassment. "Honestly, why are you such a perv?!"

A low rich laugh left Boruto's lips, it sounded so pleasant in the ears it made Sarada's stomach twist into knots.

His exposed azure eye crinkled slightly, a sly grin taking over his usually stoic features.

"As if you haven't had the slightest thought of kissing me yet," Boruto murmured under his breath.

"What was that?" Sarada narrowed her eyes, crossing her arms in the process.

"Nothing! Nothing!" Boruto replied with a dismissal wave, albeit his gaze and tone danced with mirth.

Sarada didn't leave her narrowing gaze at him for a few seconds before sighing deeply.

With a shake of her head, she cleared her throat feeling a little shy now that she got Boruto's undivided attention since he stopped playing with her fingers. Although he never made an attempt to release his firm hold on her.

"A-As I was saying... I think we should keep our arrangement under wraps." Sarada said, trying to make her slightly trembling voice appear calmer. "At least for until a month."

Wondering why Boruto suddenly turned quiet, dark eyes glance at his direction only to see him looking far away. His azure gaze glazed over as if a thousand thoughts were running in his mind.

However it didn't took long enough before he faced her again. A determined look etched on his delicately immaculate features.

"No," He said, his tone held a sense of finality and firmness. "No, I don't think I can do that. If you have no problems with keeping me as a secret then I guess it's fine, but I don't think I would be able to."
