We've Grown. (Naruto FanFiction)

Chapter 20

"I wanna stay like this forever." Sarada spoke with her chest against Boruto's lean abdomen. They had just gotten back from their morning classes, and decided to take a nap before their next class.

Running his fingers through her hair, he said, "We have class, Hime." Sarada sighed deeply, "Do we really have to go?"

He laughed a little, "I've rubbed off on you. But yes, we do have to go because we already skipped yesterday, and we don't want a detention."

"Fine." She said while getting off of him, to fix her messy hair. "Let's get dinner tonight?" He asked, while buttoning up his shirt.

"After our volunteering?" A deep sigh left his lips, "Volunteering? What did you sign me up for this time?"

Sarada smiled at him, "We have to plan for the alumni banquet." He grimaced, "No, that's literally so boring, Sarada." She shrugged,
"It won't be too bad, Bolt."

"But it will. Do you know who else is volunteering?" She shook his head, "Just Cho, and Shika that I know of."

"Fine, Sarada. You know I hate when you sign me up for things before I can even have a say." She smiled while walking toward him and kissing his lips softly.

"I know, Baby, and I'm sorry. I just wanted to spend time with you, like outside of our dorm rooms." He smiled slightly, "And I get that, but If you feel that way, why don't you take me up on my offers when I ask you to dinner?"

She shrugged, "I don't know, I guess I just think someone is going to see us."

"Why do you care?"
"I don't. Everything will just get complicated." His sculpted left eyebrow rose slightly as he looked at Sarada questionably, awaiting an explanation.

"I just don't want everyone to start rumors about us, and-" He cut her off abruptly, "Is that what happened to you and Haron?" 

"Kind of?" She said and he nodded. "You should know by now that I'm not Haron-"

"I'm not saying you are. I would never even think that. It's just that things like rumors happen all the time, and I don't want it to be the end of us."

Boruto nodded while saying,
"You're right, things like rumors do happen all of the time; however it's not going to hurt us, you wanna know why, Hime?"

He asked while cupping her face with his left hand, she nodded with a smile on her lips. "Why?"

"I'm not going to let it happen. I'm not insecure, and I trust you. Do you trust me?"

Sarada nodded, "Of course." As she admitted that, she realized that didn't show it nearly as much as she thought she should have.

"Alright then, could you just have a little more faith in us?" He asked with a soft smile on his beautiful face. "I'm trying, Bolt."

"And that's all I can ask, Hime." He said before kissing her lips softly. It was heartwarming to see how patient Boruto was being with her, and it made her feel good.

It felt like he actually listened when she spoke about her fears, and she was so accustomed to boys like Haron who just downplayed her emotions. Though she hadn't told him everything about Haron and her, nor do she ever plan to, Bolt was unexpectedly so supportive.

She felt bad for taking things so slow, though she know it was something that she need to do. "Let's get to class, Hime."

   Sitting in class, Sarada sat next to Himawari listening to Ms. Uzumaki teach her Bio-Medical class. She had taken the class years ago, but she was just there to be the teachers assistants. Mostly all she did was sit in class and grade assignments occasionally.
