Sharp words

Hi again everyone! This is again a teeny tiny drabble based on the prompt sent to me on Tumblr. Excessively short, I know but this is the best I could come up with.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to Naruto/Boruto.

Prompt: "I'm bulletproof...but please, don't shoot me."

Sharp Words

Sarada considers herself to be bulletproof.

She wants to think that, her being bulletproof is one of the main reasons that their friendship is still alive.

Because she understands him better than the most.

Because she knows that, sometimes, he speaks the words he never means.

He is an idiot, she thinks.

But sadly enough, her being bulletproof doesn't necessarily mean that she is immune to the impacts of those sharp words thrown around by him.

"Ohh, you don't say! It's your call if you want to be Hokage, but you better stay alone your whole life! Because it's gonna cause a lot of problems for anyone around you!"

Her onyx eyes go wide. What is he saying? How could he? For a moment, the harshness of those words steal her breath.

His words hurt. They really hurt.

But the narrowed blue eyes reflect something akin to pain and betrayal. She knows that look very well. The urge to comfort him wins over the urge to confront him with a returning verbal onslaught.

"Hey, Boruto... Let's show Hokage-sama our amazing sides! In the exams!"

She tells him, hoping, wishing that her words reach him. But then seeing his blue eyes look at her with so much burning trust, Sarada smiles, knowing that her wish has been granted.

After all the chaos is over, he says something unexpected to her.

"When you become the Hokage, I'll be your right-hand man! I'll guard you well!"

She is overwhelmed when he tells her that. Her eyes widen in amazement and her face goes red.

And she thanks the gods above for being bulletproof even though shed also like to be 'shot at' less.

Sorry for the short length but don't forget to tell me what you think of it!

Please review!

See you again!
