BORUSARA - Oneshots xx

Smile For Me

Just smile. He thought. He couldn't bare to see her crying. Boruto did his best and offered her a weak smile.

"Hey," he shakily held his hand up to her cheek, attempting to wipe the salty tears that rolled down. "I really need to see you smile right now."

Sarada choked a bit, and continued to allow her salty tears to fall on his face. Her shaky hands were glowing green over his chest, desperately supplying healing chakra to the right side of his body.

"Shut up," she sobbed.

He chuckled weakly and closed his eyes.

"Don't you dare fall asleep on me!" she yelled. "I will never forgive you!"

A strangled laugh escaped Boruto's throat, only to have him cough up blood. Things were not looking good. They were miles away from home, and the wound on his chest would not stop bleeding.

"Even when I'm dying, you're still so mean to me, ya know?" he joked weakly.

"You are not dying!" she yelled again. "I will kill you before you even get the chance!"

Geez. Even when he was dying, she was still talking about killing him.

"I love you, too," he smirked, and coughed up more blood.

"Stop talking!" Her shoulder shook, and her tears started to flow even more. "Stop..." she whispered.

Boruto cupped her cheek, and stained her porcelain skin with crimson blood. He smiled at her so tenderly. "I won't leave you."

Sarada looked right into his eyes, and took in shaky breaths to calm herself. She poured even more healing chakra into him. "Just a little more."

"You have to smile for me," he repeated, his eyes slowly closing again. He could feel his heartbeat receding.

Just one more time. I need to see her smile for me, one last time.

"No. No no no! Don't go!" she begged.

"Smile..." he opened his blue eyes as much as he could. "For me?" His voice was merely a whisper.

Sarada continued to gulp in air, trying her best to stop herself from hyperventilating. She tried to smile, but more tears and sobs only came.

"That's... not fair... ya know?" he smiled weakly. "Can't a guy see his girl... smile before he... goes?"

"Nooo!" she screamed, pouring every inch of her chakra into him.

Slowly, his heavy eyelids shut close, keeping a small smile on his face.

Well, at least he knew she loved him.

There were move voices that came that he couldn't make out before he finally drifted to sleep.

—-

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

What was that? It's so... annoying.

Boruto shifted, and realized his hand felt stiff and cold. He felt a dull ache in his chest, and he groaned. Slowly, he opened his blue eyes. Dark ones stared right back at him.

"You're awake," she whispered, tears filling her eyes yet again. She held a cup of water and helped him take a sip. He coughed a bit.

"Oh come on," he rasped. His throat still felt so dry. "I told you I won't leave you. You need to believe me more often, ya know?"

She choked on a sob, and covered her mouth. "Stop it."

"Only if you smile for me."

She sniffled and wiped her tears away, a small smile graced her lips. "You're so annoying." That small smile turned into a full grin.

Boruto never felt so relieved in his entire life. Finally. She admitted she loved him... sort of.
