Asphyxia

Chapter 12

Sarada's pov

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

"Sarada, you stole my heart."

Then and there my world stopped with his words.

My heart stopped beating.

My lungs stopped breathing. 

I turned to look him in the eye.

"What-?!" I was then caught off guard when he pulled me into his arms forcefully. "I'm sorry for ever hurting you." He paused before continuing what he was saying. "God dammit, I was never one to ever confess my emotions but hell," He stopped staring at the wall behind me and stared at me instead.

"I can't help but admit the damned fact that I love you."  I closed my eyes but I felt the hot tears cascading down my flushed cheeks. He was a bit shocked when he saw me crying. "That's all I wanted to hear." With that he grabbed my chin and captured my lips with his.

He pulls away and pull me into his embrace tightly. He lays my head on his chest and wrapped his arms around my waist tightly. He gave a subtle smile before saying, "Thank you for being a part of my life."

And at this point, I wouldn't mind having Asphyxia if I got someone to care about me.

I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life by his side if it meant I would always see his beautiful smile.

I wouldn't mind falling in love with him more and more every single day as long as I know he will be there to hold me in my every fall.

And I knew I-

"I love you too.." I whispered to him and wrapped my arms around his neck, letting him lay his head on my shoulder but I had to stand on my toes. "If you let me, I'll promise you that I'll always be a part of your life." I said to him. He gets his head of of my shoulder to stare at me intently, "I'll take you up on that offer then, love." 

He puts me back to my feet but held both of my hands in one of his own. He lifts both of my knuckles to his lips and pecked them gingerly, "Sorry to ruin your dream boyfriend question, I'm not cryptic nor am I that straight forward," He took a deep breath before continuing.

"But as subtle as I am, I want you to be my girlfriend. No questions asked." He said and stared into her eyes. Challenging her to say no. Sarada laughed before saying, "My dream boyfriend  question is when the guy I love asks me. I don't need a guy to be cryptic since it confuses me. Nor do I want a straight froward guy who doesn't ease me to his feelings. What I need and want is a subtle guy. Someone like you, Boruto Uzumaki." 

"Well I need a girl like you to be the one to brighten up my dreary life." He said and officially I became his.
