Chapter Five
" Boruto?, hey Boruto, earth to Boruto", Shikadai snapped his fingers in front of Boruto's face, yanking him out of his thoughts. Inojin was looking at him weirdly and Mitsuki was smirking. " Whatcha thinking about buddy?". Sarada, he said in his head. " Nothing", he told them flatly. They all looked at each other. " Dude you've barely touched your food it cant be ' nothing '", said Shikadai, " And you've just been acting really weird ever since you got back from your mission a couple days ago". They all looked genuinely worried. " Yeah, did you suffer mental trauma or something?," asked Inojin. " No", said Boruto and he scowled.
" Hey, I know what's wrong, don't I Boruto", he gave a smug look. Boruto looked at him, seething. " You don't know the half of it!", he shouted. Mitsuki just giggled.
Mitsuki and Inojin had left. Boruto and Shikadai were sitting on a bench somewhere. He couldn't take it anymore. " I kissed Sarada!", he blurted out. The water Shikadai was drinking practically shot out of his nose. " You did what!?", he asked loudly between choking on water. " Oh you heard what I said!", Boruto said, annoyed. His face was hot and his cheeks were pink. " Do you like her or something?", he said when he'd caught his breath. This made Boruto blush even more. " No! Yes?, I don't know! I'm just really confused right now and I needed to tell someone before I exploded!", he yelled. Shikadai stared at Boruto for a second, " Gimme a minute I need to process this". Shikadai pinched the bridge of his nose. " Okay continue,", he said after a couple seconds.
" So, I got a kunai in my knee and she took me away from the battle so I ' wouldn't be a burden '. And, when she took the kunai out it really hurt so she like, hugged me and it made me feel.... weird. So then she looked at me and, I don't even know I just.. kissed her.", he said, recalling the thing that'd been haunting him for days. " And she was, like, really shocked but y'know so was I. But I ruined our friendship and we've barely talked since and she hates me and I suck and I'm stupid and-". " BORUTO", yelled Shikadai," slow the hell down!". He looked at him, holding onto his shoulder like Boruto would fall apart if he let go. And honestly, he probably would.
" Breath", said Shikadai. Boruto took a deep breath and relaxed his body. " I just feel like she hates me now, like I screwed up everything. I mean, we can't even look at each other, let alone talk", he said, and sorrow filled his voice. " You just have to apologize to her ", said Shikadai. " Hello, did you not hear what I just said, I can't even speak to her.", he said helplessly. " Well, suck it up and be a man.", said Shikadai, " I know girls are a drag but, you're going to have deal with it sooner or later, so why not do it now?", he asked. Boruto sighed, " you're right Shikadai, thanks.". "No problem".
Boruto called his mom and told that he was going to be home a little later because he was, " hanging out with Shikadai". He jumped across the rooftops of Konoha, careful not to be too loud and disturb anyone below. He stopped on the roof of the house next to Sarada's. This is it, he thought, no going back now. He leapt down onto the balcony that was connected to Sarada's room. The curtains were drawn back and he could see her in there reading a book. His face was probably bright red but it didn't matter. He needed to do this. For her sake, and for his.
Boruto tapped lightly on her glass door. She looked over and her face turned pink when she saw him. She didn't seem angry though, just, embarrassed. She put her book down and walked over to the door. He stepped back towards the railing as she opened it. She stepped out onto the balcony and and leaned on the railing. " Boruto", she said, " what the, hell are you doing here?", She didn't sound mad. She sounded like she was trying to be her normal self, all annoyed with everything he did, but it wasn't working. He looked down at his feet. " Sorry for coming this late, but, i needed to see you", he was hardcore blushing, " I wanted to say, that I'm really, really sorry f-for what I did. And I know that i ruined our entire friendship, and you probably hate me. So I'm sorry for-", his voice trailed away. " Kissing me ", Sarada said without look at him, " Sure Boruto, you may have made it really awkward and, confusing. But I never hated you, and, you didn't ruin anything.", she looked at him, really looked at him, and for the first time in days, he looked back at her. Into her deep, dark eyes.
He walked over and wrapped his arms around her. At first, she was a little shocked at his actions but then hugged him back. They stood like that for a while, it wasn't awkward, though Boruto was still insanely red in the face. When they pulled away and Boruto stood on her railing he remembered something. " Hey, Sarada?", he asked. " y-yeah", she asked, stuttering. " Di-did you really mean what you said in the cave, about how you care about me even if you don't show it?, he asked. She was silent for a little while. " Yes Boruto, I do care about you", she said. He smiled and felt warmth spread throughout his chest.
She does care about me....
