Kagura and Boruto's eyes are set to fix on staring at each other. Kagura, as his usual friendly type of smile but Boruto however had been forcing himself not to at least glare at him, he was emotionless just like Sasuke's facial expression, bored if that's what you think.

He didn't know why but Kagura was the first person Sarada wanted to greet welcome, which to him was uncomfortable.

"Sarada-chan!" Kagura smiles lovely at the Uchiha heiress since it was his always trait if he's around her

"Kagura-san," by this she heard Boruto cleared his throat

They look at him and beginning to be awkward. She clearly remembers that Boruto doesn't like her calling people with 'chan' and 'san' on their last name exception to his sister and elders.

Kagura was the first to break the awkward silence that lingers around them.

"Been awhile now, hasn't it?" Still with his charming smile

"Yes," Sarada's only reply, still Boruto kept his mouth shut.

"Since it's been long, I was wondering to give you something," he called someone and reach out a hand. The little boy handed a pot of another flower

Kagura turns to face the Uchiha beauty holding the so-called 'gift', it was a pink primrose.

"Primrose. the popular variety, hopefully, it would brighten up your home during the drabbier winter season. This late-blooming winter flower has a short life span..."

Boruto look from Sarada and Kagura over and over again, he was waiting if Sarada would accept the primrose, will she?

He was intensely uncomfortable now, he indeed tried flirting with her in front of him, in front of her boyfriend! Like hell, he was going to let this go but he had promised her already, what to do?

"Oh, Thank you." Sarada smiled too

What? What the hell is he seeing? Did this mean she was accepting this dork's flower? And he really did think of it. PRIMROSE?! a winter flower.

She was reaching out her hands to receive his present, but before she could even touch the pot, Boruto's hands were hasty that he grabs it first.

"Thank you." He firmly said without looking at Kagura

"Boruto?" Sarada look at him with great surprise

He turns to face his girlfriend with a wide smile, "I'll carry it!"

Kagura's eyes were wide in surprise. He looks at both of them like this was the most awkward position that he had ever been, except on that night back in 8 months ago.

"I can see that you two have reconciled."

The blonde Uzumaki turn with a plastic smile, forcing himself not to be unreasonable but he did have a reason. Forcing himself not to argue, being helplessly friendly to the guy he once or will always consider as his rival in romance.

"More than that actually..."

"More than that?" Kagura's smiling face turns into a furrowed eyebrows in a split second

"Yeah, I'm actually dating her, and its been 5 months!" He proudly brags

Sarada could swear that she facepalm herself in her mind, what was this dimwit thinking? Saying precipitate words so flagrantly. But what could she do? When clearly all have been said.

Kagura was inarticulate for some seconds, Boruto couldn't be denied that he talks big about that thing. In an offensive way so that he'll stop wooing her in front of him now that he knew she already belongs to that blonde boy Uzumaki.

"Uhm..." Sarada was lost for words

"Congratulations!" He kept a smile

"Huh?" Sarada and Boruto look at him with deep wonders. They didn't foresee that he'll reckon to greet them with politeness.

"Congratulations." He repeated

"That shouldn't have been said?!"

"Don't worry, " he assured her, "I already foretold this so there's no need to be timid about one factor."

"Okay," Sarada returns his smiles, "Thank you for the primrose."

"Welcome, but it indeed fits your beauty."

"Okay, that's enough dude! Stop trying to attract her, it's not cool!"

Sarada hardly pinches his back that made him jump in the painful act.

"I'm sorry, I don't intend to do something like that, besides I only told the truth."

Boruto was pissed, although Kagura was just smiling for him he was like grinning.

"Then, I shall lead you to the Hokage's headquarters then?" Sarada barge in their conversation

When she started to take a step, Boruto immediately grabs her hand. Kagura and Sarada look back at him, seemingly expecting that he'll say something.

He only grabs her because he didn't wanna be apart from her, not that it wasn't okay because it would just be a few hours but not with Kagura.

Sarada already knew what he meant. She took a step closer to him and lean-to his ears.

"Meet me at the training grounds in five, I'll be there on time." She whispered

She moves a little to look him in the eye with her assurance and a lovely smile.

"Don't worry, you're my only one bolt!" She whispered again

By this he loosens his hold and let her go,  at least she would promise now she'll only see him and him only.

Sarada and Kagura went to fetch Shinki and the others, Sarada and Shikadai took the lead of the group.

Boruto was left with the primrose on his hand and little gennins to take care of while their head set up a meeting and to announce their arrival.

"You almost blew up!" That deep creepy voice spoke behind him, he lightly jumps in shock

"Mitsuki, you're still giving the heart attacks! Stop appearing in a peculiar way!"

"Then I should warn you too." That pale boy smiled as Boruto turn to meet him face to face

"What?" The sound of his voice was a complete wonder

"You almost blew up your temper. I warn you not to be annoyed so quickly, let them vex you, and stay calm if you're not then that means they win."

It was clearly a piece of advice but at least he makes efforts to make his friend note of the possible risk that he might end up with.

"He's clearly vexing me in a polite way!" He still insists on what he thought

"Then, that depends on you if you're going to let it hit you."
