BORUSARA - Oneshots xx

Keep You Warm

"He's a cheapskate!" Boruto fumed. "And why do I have to share a room—no less a bed—with Sarada?"

Mitsuki calmly finished eating his bread as he listened to his teammate rant. "We drew lots. Besides," he smirked. "You two practically shared cribs. This should be no different."

"We were five!" He exclaimed indignantly. "We're sixteen now!"

"I don't see your point," Mitsuki teased.

"And this place doesn't even have heating!" The blond complained further.

"Stop shouting, Boruto," Konohamaru admonished him as he entered the inn's dining area. He shook the snow out of his dark hair. "This is the only lodge in the area, and they don't have any more rooms. Just make do with it for one night, okay?"

Boruto crossed his arms and pouted like a brat.

"You can also sleep out there in the blizzard," Konohamaru said. "You have that option."

"Sleeping in those freezers for rooms will be just the same!" He bit back.

Konohamaru grinned slyly. "Then this will be your chance to cuddle up to Sarada and share your body heat."

Heat flooded to his cheeks. "N-no way!"

"Well, that's a practical option," Mitsuki agreed.

Boruto delayed needing to get in bed as much as he could. It was nearing midnight, and Sarada was already lying down, fast asleep, with her back facing him. Begrudgingly, Boruto crept into the bed, with his back facing her, too.

The room was cold. The windows were creaking from the wind and snow beating at its force. He brought his hands up to his mouth to warm them up. He felt small tremors. Gingerly, he looked over his shoulder to look at Sarada. She was scrunched up in a tight ball, shivering.

His brows pulled together and he moved to get a closer look. She really was shivering, her teeth were also chattering. He looked around for anything he could place on her to keep her warm. But there was nothing he could find.

Before he gave up, he remembered the option offered to him by his sensei earlier.

Sarada was the first one to wake. She shifted on the bed, and was surprised to find the position she was in. Boruto's arms were wrapped around her, and their faces were only inches away. She tried to break free, but his grip on her was tight.

"Sarada," he drawled, as he slowly opened his blue eyes.

"Boruto, let go! You're such a—"

"Are you feeling warmer now?" He smiled sleepily.

She felt heat flood to her face and she shut her lips together. Slowly coming to understand the situation.

"I'll take that as a yes," he whispered.

Her dark eyes softened and she returned his smile. There was something about he way the morning light hit his bleary, blue eyes and golden mussed up hair that warmed her heart. She relaxed and sank into the bed again, cuddling a little closer.

"Boruto?" she whispered.

"Hm?"

"Thank you."
