-Sarada POV-
It's been a little over 3 months since the hospital, we successfully made it to the land of lightning. We found this pretty big city just a few days walk away from the hidden cloud village, it worked out perfectly for me and Boruto since we still have those bounties and can't be seen in any hidden villages.
We've been staying in an inn for a few weeks just taking on any small jobs that come our way, usually never taking more than a day at a time to complete them. At the moment, Boruto is still out doing a search and retrieve gig for the local lord.
I told him he needs to hang back and take some time to relax, especially since his birthday is literally tomorrow, technically in a few hours but he wasn't having it so I let him go. Me however, I took it upon myself to go find him a birthday present. His sword hasn't had maintenance in quite a while so I bought him a new one, had it forged by this places finest blacksmith and even had his clans crest engraved on it, he's gonna love it.
But for now at least he can't see it. I put the sword under my bed and hop on top of it and lay down under the covers. Shortly after, Boruto walked in visibly tired.
"Mann today was so annoying" Boruto complains
"Aww, did they push my wittle baby too hard?" I tease
"Ha-Ha, very funny Sarada." Boruto begins taking off his jacket. "So how was your day?"
"About as boring as you can imagine, except for the fact that I got you an early birthday present hehe."
Boruto walks over to my bed and sits down next to me. "Oh yeah?"
I sit up fully in bed, kicking the covers off my legs. "Yes sir, I'm such a great friend I spent a small fortune on this-" I reached under to pull the sword out and presented it to him with a wide smile.
"I love it, just what I needed too Sarada" he took the sword looking it over with a smirk in his face.
He pulled me into a big hug, practically tackling me onto the bed. These moments make me really appreciate having such a close friend. My love for him is pure just as his is for me.
Though that didn't stop me from thinking of him inappropriately in this moment...
"You're amazing, you know..." His breath brushed against my ear making me shiver.
"Stop it Boruto..." I flush
He pulls back and smiles warmly at me, "I mean it, I'll use this sword forever."
We sat there for a while staring deeply At each other, I didn't even notice how close we were. "Boruto..." I can't escape the intensity of his gaze in this moment, it's literally melting me.
"Do it..." he whispers
I then pull away from him and quickly stand up, exiting the room.
That was a bit much for me, if I sat there any longer with him I would have...
I brushed that thought off, walking down to the lobby for a drink. I just ordered a soda even though I feel like I need something stronger right now. After a few minutes an older man dressed in some really expensive looking clothes came up to me.
"Rough night huh Sarada?" The man asked wearing a smile on his face.
"You can say that again sir-" wait how did this guy know my name, is he a client.
I sit my drink down and look at the man seriously, "neither here nor there, who are you?"
"Not your enemy I can assure you, I'm here because I've heard about you and your partner making moves in my land. I have a... under the books sort of job for you."
The man pulls out a sheet card and places it on the table alongside a few dollars for my drink. Before leaving saying that we should come speak with him on the morning. The card read the name Sir Benimaru and an address. I'd better take this up to Boruto.

-Boruto POV-
Mannn I really screwed up this time, did I come on too strong or what? Now here I am sitting here on the bed like an idiot while she's probably pissed at me.Great.
Well on the bright side my birthday is tomorrow so yay I guess.
I had already changed into my sleeping clothes and was prepared to lay down in my bed when Sarada walked in.
"Boruto look at this..." she hands me the card and explains what's going on.
"Hmm, okay so first of all stranger danger-"
"Boruto, this is serious. This guy looks like he comes from a lot of money, whatever this job is could be great for us." She cut me off
"But it's my birthday tomorrow Sarada, I don't want to spend it doing some old geezers dirty work."
And I meant that, or atleast I thought I did but then Sarada pulled out ole reliable: the puppy dog eyes. My worst enemy.
"Fine, just fine but I really hope it's not anything too crazy." I say before turning over and flipping off my lamp.
Sarada did the same but not before saying goodnight along with a "happy birthday bolt". I swear, she knows what she's doing.
