Asphyxia

chapter 11

3rd person pov

Sarada began walking to the elevator in her floor. Hopefully no more interruptions.  She pressed 'Up' button on the elevator and in a minute it dinged meaning that the lift reached her floor.

She walks inside and looks around her. Nobody was around her. Perfect. She pressed the 11th floor button and the lift ascended from the 5th floor to the 11th floor. Thankfully nobody pressed the buttons on other floors and so it ascends quickly.

The elevator dings and it stops on the 11th floor. Sarada walked out of the elevator and into the hallway. She remembers the directions he gave her when he used to be her mentor. And immediately she reached the familiar slate door. Slowly she knocked on the gray door.

"Name and business?" Boruto's cold voice asked from behind the slate door. "It's me, Sarada. I believe we need to have a talk." Sarada said with a gentle tone and immediately Boruto knew he had to let her in.

"Alright. Come in." Boruto said and faintly, Sarada smiled. Slowly she puts her hand on the silver knob and turns it. She walked in and closes the door and walked to his office. She sees him standing while signing papers on his desk.

He looked tired. Really tired. He had his blonde hair messy once again. His stethoscope hung loose on his neck. Slowly, he turned his head and gaze to his raven haired lover. Wait lover? Since when have they become lovers?

"What do you want to talk about?" Boruto bluntly asked. 'Damn, straight to the point.' Sarada thought. She walked closer to him before speaking, "Boruto, I want to know." She paused before she spoke again. "What are we?" Sarada asked.

Silence. A deafening silence. That is until she decided to talk. "Answer my question Boruto. I really want to know. What are we?" she repeated her question with her voice cracking in the end. "Answer me!" she raised her voice.

"We are neither lovers nor friends. That's what we are, Sarada. Simply strangers that's all." He answered and this made Sarada's heart stop. "Well if that's the case. Then I'm leaving." About to turn around until.

"God damn you all!" Boruto yelled and grabbed Sarada's arm back. She looked at him in shock.

"I really really hate this feeling!" he yells again. "B-boruto please!" Sarada begged him to stop. She really is afraid of people yelling.

"Boruto!" She raised her voice again. He didn't calm down. He was furious. Not with her but himself.

He threw his stethoscope at the wall behind Sarada and Sarada was frightened. He was glaring not at her but the wall. 

"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" he yelled at her face and Sarada could have sworn she saw a tear in his eyes.

"Tell me what to do to help you! Please!" Sarada said.  "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO MADE ME FEEL LIKE THIS AND YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW TO FIX IT!"

At this point she doesn't know what to do other than to listen.

Then a tear fell out of his eye and she didn't notice. "You should know...... You stole something from me." Boruto said softly.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, I didn't steal anything." Sarada whispered. "Yes you did." he chuckled. "If yes,  what did I steal?" Sarada asked.

"Sarada, you stole my heart."
