With You

Annoying

I'm back with another oneshot!

Annoying

“Stop it!” She hissed.
“No. You’ve been avoiding me for a month now. And I want to know, what’s going on?” His grip on her arm is strong and his voice is assertive, hard to deter.

She remains silent for a while but Boruto knows better than to go lax. She is a skilled and powerful kunoichi and if he wanted to know what he wants then he’ll have to be definitely on the guard.

“Sarada… please, tell me what’s wrong?” He pleads.

She averts her eyes from his piercing blue gaze, unable to say anything more than this, “I can’t.”

A swirl of anger and frustration rises inside him which reaches his blue eyes, turning them into a darker shade.

He hissed, “The Hell Sarada! If you won’t tell me what’s wrong then how will I help you?!” His voice rising with each and every passing word making the girl flinch.

Maybe it was his insistence, maybe it was his voice, maybe it was his proximity, or maybe it were his words that became the last straw for her to erupt.

“No! You can’t help me! You can’t because you’re the cause of my trouble, you’re the reason I haven’t been able you sleep at nights, you’re the reason I can’t focus lately.” She bellows.

Screaming like this made her realise it wasn’t his insistence, voice, words or proximity that were her source of torment…but rather, it was the whole of him.

“I love you.” Her voice cracks and he stiffens, stunned and overwhelmed. She continues, “ I love you. I love you so much that I don’t understand what to do with these feelings anymore. I don’t know how to face you! I don’t know how to act around you. And…it hurts.”

She tries to hold back her tears but they spill down her cheeks. Suddenly, it dawns upon her that she has blurted out more than she ever intended and he is still staring at her with an odd expression on.

Frightened and embarrassed and a bit of humiliated, she struggles to get out of his arms but his grip on her gets even tighter.

“Let me go, Boruto, please.” Her voice is quivering.

In response to her request he pulls her to his chest, enveloping her small form in his arms with her face pressed against his neck.

“Say it again.” He whispers. “Admit you love me and I’ll let you go.”

They stay like that for a while when she says softly, “You’re annoying.”

He smirks, “Hm, you haven’t said anything yet.”

She turns red, “I-I don’t want you to let me go.” She paused and continued, as if considering the idea, “yet…”

Hearing her words, he laughs out loud.

“I don’t think I’m planning to let you go, ever.”
