Uzumaki Illness - A Boruto fanfic

Chapter 3: Mending Bonds

READ A/N (VERY IMPORTANT <3)

3rd'S POV (god how do I fix their personalities from being ooc...)

Naruto and Boruto walked back quietly with an occasional cough. Boruto was thinking about how he should act around his father, after all; Naruto did sacrifice his 'Hokage-time' for his son like he has always wanted. But, it just felt uncomfortable for the young blonde to just switch to 'daddy's boy'.

He felt like it wasn't in him to respect his father. Of course, he secretly adored his father and wouldn't tell anyone (Like the tsundere he is) he just felt out of place showing that kind of love and appreciation. Boruto sighed and turned his head away from the footpath and tried to ignore what he was thinking.

"Something the matter?" His father asked

"Nothing, it's fine" the younger blonde ends the conversation quickly.

Naruto no matter what, is the knucklehead nin of the leaf. He is a strong and kind Hokage. Except, although he is an adult he still fails to know when even his loved ones are lying.

"Oh okay"

-~=~-

"Boruto-kun!" (I'm gonna murder myself if saying -kun there is incorrect)

"Oni-chan!"

Boruto opened the door first to his worried younger sister & mother. Himawari was quick to grab his hand and wrap herself in him. Hinata ran to Naruto and hugged him tightly. The two blondes look at each other and share one small smile.

"Come on Oni-chan! You need to rest now!" The midnight blue girl said.

"Same with you Naruto-kun" Hinata added.

The two were the helped upstairs to their rooms to rest. This was the time Boruto had a chance to continue the thoughts he had earlier. Of course, he wasn't completely alone as his younger sister was determined to treat him and change his wet rat when it got dry. But, this was going to be the best he was gonna get. Naruto was in the opposite room from him with Hinata, who was also determined to treat her husband.

Boruto sat in bed and closed his eyes. He thought about his previous relationship with his father, back before he was the Hokage. He remembered when he was so close. Boruto doesn't want to go back to the comfort straight away. However he doesn't feel like it's right to continue acting the way he is.

His short thought got cut as he heard harsh hacking from the other room. 'Tou-chan?' He thought. Himawari immediately ran to her father's room to see what was going on. Boruto staggered close behind her out of interest. They couldn't enter the room as it was locked, but they stayed right at the door to listen.

"Naruto-kun!" Hinata shrieked.

The man continued to violently cough.

"Naruto-kun slow down!"

The male evened his breathes, only to find a very small splatter of blood in his hand. He sat on the bed still for a few minutes.

"Naruto-kun....." She leant over and saw the little amount of red resting in his palm.

"Naruto-kun go back into bed, I'm calling Sakura"

Hinata rushed out of the room and saw her two confused children standing there in fear (well mainly Himawari)

"Is Tou-chan..... Okay?" Boruto bravely asked.

-~=~-

Himawari was told by Hinata to keep an eye on Boruto while she went out to get help. Said blonde wasn't feeling good himself, his fever was dancing & he couldn't decide whether he felt hot or cold anymore. Of course, Himawari was taking good care of her older brother so this didn't worry either of them.
